Tuesday Talks #7 - I am confused!

Tuesday Talks #7 - I am confused!

Are our leaders right?

Are they corrupt?

Do they really worry about us?

Do they really want the nation to progress?

Are they really what they show or are they something else?

All the news coming these days about everyone makes me think that why can't this world be simple and calm. Why everyone is so complex? Why is this human mind so obscure? 

What will you get by lying for a wrong purpose? Why are you running after money when everybody knows the reality of life? 

I love watching social experiment and travelling videos on YT. While seeing these, I was shocked to learn that people can be so inhuman, so evil. Okay, not everyone is like that. There is a lot of corruption in some countries. The officials have so much wrongly collected wealth that even if they donate a huge amount, they will have much more remaining with them (don't make the picture of India in your mind though corruption is here also but we still have other freedoms which some other countries don't have).

Why are we so negligent towards the poor and deprived? Whenever I see a kid begging on the road or a child of my age working somewhere in others' houses, I just turn my face to the other side, I can't resist that sight. It makes me emotional. Her cup-shaped hand and balloons in the other hand make me feel so shameful about our position today. I am sitting on a motorbike or in a luxurious car but she is standing there bare feet. Which justice is this? I feel so depressed after seeing such scenes. It melts my heart seeing so many small kids walking on the road with their brother-sisters asking for money. It is so disheartening to see their condition.

And now what is happening with our Annadata, our Farmers. I won't write much but just want everything to be fine and in the best interest of the farmers. After all, what are we without them? I wonder why few people are misusing this situation for dividing India on the basis of religion. Rabb Raakha.

It is so true that people are something else in front of you and completely different behind your back. Why? Why? Why?! What do you want to do by deceiving others and spreading fake news about the right person? Instead of burning like coal seeing others' success, try to work harder. Don't be jealous and please don't show your jealousy on the face. That's bad for you only, ___. How disheartening it is to see that the one whom you believed to be your friend is actually a fraud.

'Confusions' will always be there. 
'Some' people will always smear.

Yes, I was always  a fool and I like being from that troupe,

Not understanding the ones from the Cunning and Clever group.

Let's end it here...

I thought I could trust everyone,

But then they proved me wrong and the fun had begun...

The Microsocopic World

 A week passed like nothing!

Either it was too fast or I missed to notice the time.

Anyways...let's go straight to the topic : 

Once, in class 6th, we had to answer a value-based question in the moral science class. It was regarding the spread of communicable diseases...ice cream...something like that...but what I remember nicely is, that I said - "Ma'am, microorganisms are also created by God, they are His children so He has to take care of them also, that's why diseases spread.", the whole class was silent but the teacher started laughing. She said what are you saying Sargun...hahaha...microorganisms...children of God!

I was wondering what wrong did I say. I neither understood then nor now.

If God created us, He created the universe as well, don't forget. If we are His children, every being residing in this cosmos is His child. That's why I have a lot of interest in science because, through science, I can find God, I can find the answers to life.

Ok, ok, I am not gonna write anything about the novel coronavirus!

...but I wanted you to explore the micro-world...it is full of secrets...full of amazing things!

...yes, even the macro world...but for this post, I would restrict it only to the micro world.

Every day,  I watch 2-3 videos of the microscopic world - the germs, the non-living things, the cells, the atoms, insects and other unbelievable things!

Have a glance here :

[A poem I wrote accidentally on a wrong day but couldn't publish]

The Fruit on that Branch - An award winning blog post

The Fruit on that Branch... 

 

 

 

“I will become a doctor!” 

“I will become a pilot!” 

We all dream about becoming great people through the great professions that we dream about. We all are very enthusiastic about all these things when we are kids but as we grow, we understand the reality. It doesn’t take just words to pursue our dream but it takes time, finances, will power, our mind, body and soul, in one word – higher education. 

According to Wikipedia, “Higher education is tertiary education leading to the award of an academic degree.”. In layman’s language, it is “when a person starts going to college or university”. 

 

 

 

I feel that higher education is like the most important step in the ladder of education and the most crucial step in preparing the future generation of a country. Definitions aside, let’s come to the main concern- “Why higher education?” I have myself seen various people who completed only their school and now are sitting at homes to do nothing. Why did you go to school then? Therefore, higher education is a compulsory step in pursuing anything. 

In India, in a country of 135 crore people, for some, ‘education’ is just like a fruit which is hung far away on the top branch of a tree which only those can get who live on the high floors of the tall skyscrapers. Then comes the fire brigade of Government seats and reservation to help these students on the ground floor to grab the fruit. Now, few of them are not able to grab even that opportunity so they plan to travel to a different tree for the same fruit. They go abroad. So as a whole everybody in this scenario is racing, is competing to grab that fruit of higher education and in turn, success. 

After visiting Germany and seeing the processes there, I felt - “Sargun, why this doesn’t happen in India too?!” They have a system full of care and free of corruption. Free medical care for the aged and free and quality higher education to any student (Yes! Any student even a foreigner) who can speak German fluently. What a good scheme to promote and save national language as well as education. I know! I know! That is not possible in India, keeping in mind the swarming number of students here.

  

As a child, I used to wonder why everybody is flying abroad after school. Why everybody is studying in India, gaining knowledge from here and then working in other foreign countries and giving the fruit there. Then I came to know about the concept of brain drain. This is so ridiculous. When we ourselves don’t want to improve or develop our nation then why do we curse the government for not fulfilling our demands? Ok, now that completely is a personal opinion but how would you feel if you educate and prepare a child with all that you have but when she or he becomes successful, they leave you and provide their services to some other person. 

Movies like 3 Idiots and Super 30 tell us the reality. It is not easy to understand this world and how it works. It kicks out the poor, deprived and truly talented and lifts up the rich and fraud. We can change it if we change ourselves. Yes, higher education is costly but there are government seats and scholarships to the rescue for the truly deserving. Yes, the education system is sometimes thought to be a bane (as it divides us into castes of grades and marks) but the New Education Policy 2020 will take care of that. Yes, there might be no institution of your interest in your country but you can still gain education where God will lead you.  

 

 

 

In a nutshell, everybody wants to become successful in life. For few, higher education becomes an obstacle, just a dream and for others, it becomes a step in the ladder to their dream. I would like to sum up with these self-composed beads of words: 

“Higher education is required to become something, 

These lines, the society always sings, 

But I have a secret to share... 

About you, not many people will care, 

So, if you can’t pursue this fruit, 

Becoming a good person can be the best route.”
