Journey to Exploration-I

It was Tuesday and 20th September, 1983 when I started my journey on the planet Earth. I started exploring the new and amazing things around me. I started recognizing different things and giving them different names. I discovered something beautiful and called it a flower, encountered another thing of the same type and thus started categorizing different flowers by different names. I identified various colours by various names, saw the sky high above me and gave that colour the name blue. Lot of new things (not all to mention here) were around me and explored them one by one. Slowly and slowly I started making my own paradoxes of beautiful and ugly, good and bad.
Then, I explored different words, their meanings; gave different things different names. Started giving people around me different relational names, explored the words’Mother’,’Father’,’Brother’,’Sister’ and lots more.
Slowly and slowly, my so-called knowledge grew on and my exploration diminished. The paradoxes ,perceptions I made in my mind made my mind narrow which once used to be so open and was willing to let enter in any new thing through its doors .And I was happy unknowing of this bitter fact.
Then, I went to school; discovered more new things, new experiences and made more and more fixed perceptions. My mind had increasing number of fixed ideas. This is bad, that is bad. But why? This I never dared to question or explore for myself.
Things went on like this only all the time ;College ,job ,everywhere…..Not that I was not discovering or exploring but that my inner urge to explore was diminishing all the time. Mind becoming more and more fixed all the time and a junk of more fixed ideas each time.
Today, at the age of 22, when in my silent mind, I introspect myself and my journey till now, I want myself again to go back the time when it was ‘20th September, 1983’ and my explorative and open mind was working at 100%.As a reader, you might think and laugh what I am saying .But, for once try to introspect yourself and may be you also find this thing true for you and try to understand why this happened.
Science has upto this time not developed that much to take in the past (may be after some years we find those things) but having the same exploration power and desire is what we can have. There are more things unexplored than explored in this world.

Dishonouring Education

Education is a gift of GOD to humanity. It is the most sacred and divine thing on God’s earth and needs to be fair in all respects.But, the reservations in the education is just a step ahead in dishonouring God’s this very gift.
How can we think of a talent not getting the needed education just because another fellow belongs to some particular caste? This is just ruining the talent rather than developing and exploring it.Further, there are a no. of another reasons for eradicating all such reservations in education.
In the first place, that was history (after independence) when such castes really existed in India.But, in today’s scenario, this is hardly the case. There is no separate caste existing as such. The castes which existed that time have come out of age now. We talk of a state that is secular and free from the notion of castes. And by making reservations a part of our society, we ourselves are promoting the cause by identifying different castes

Doesn’t this Quota or reservations serve in political parties’ motive of electoral votes? Doesn’t in most of the cases benefit goes to the high class people with sons of politicians or high profile people getting into high esteemed institutions like IIT’s and IIM’s?Is the benefit (if such castes exist) really passed to the people who deserve it?

Rather, poverty is more widespread in India than any other thing. Can’t we just go by providing free education to anyone below poverty line (provided one has the talent and deserves the same)?

In such a scenario of reservations, had we have proper thought of the future? What will happen when rubber meets the road? Imagine somebody non-deserving getting into a medical college and becoming a doctor .Can our society rely on such a doctor when question is of life or death? Do our worthy law makers ever want to get themselves operated by such doctors?

Further, the real talent is being ruined and lost in the crowd due to all this. And we are laying foundation for an Indian future that is not bright enough.

If government really thinks for providing any privilege to such sections of the society, there exist a no. of other ways to uplift these sections.Probably,education is not the rightly and thoughtfully picked choice for the same.

It would be in the honour of Goddess Saraswati-‘Devi Of Vidya(Knowledge)’ to eradicate all reservations in society, whether it is regional ,religional or caste-based,and making education a fair thing for all.

GLOBALISATION EVERYWHERE

‘Brain Drain’ has been much thought of being one of the negatives to the nation. We have a lot of students chasing their dreams into goals in foreign Universities and a large pool of talent working abroad. And till date this has been considered as draining the talent of the nation to other countries and thus harming the nation as a whole.

If we contemplate the same situation in today’s scenario where globalization is becoming rampant in almost every area that can be thought of, the so called ‘Brain Drain’ loses its whole meaning. New dimensions are being added to ‘Brain Drain’ with the Globalization.

That was a thing of past where nations were merely identified by their geographical entities or borders. Today, we live in a borderless world and boundaries have no impact. People and ideas are no more trapped by the notion of boundaries. We live in a world that is fast becoming FLAT (instead of round as perceived by Copernicus).

So, how does it matter whether an Indian mind (in India) is working for an American or an Indian mind (in America) is working for an American? Further, this is a good thing that we have increasing number of Indians abroad at good positions. That should be a thing of pride for the nation.Also, if we have Indian Nationals at good positions abroad; they can take India’s interest ahead at the Global Level.

Last but not the least; we are a billion plus nation. Do we have the infrastructure to nurture such a huge human resource? Answer is NO.So, its better that our human resource is being nurtured in other countries. The newly proposed Quota Regime will further add to this.

The much presumed negative thing is turning to be a great positive for the nation in the coming future.
