How wonderful a world would it be…

At times, when I sit back and get a flashback wave, I think of which was the most beautiful set of days of my life. Of course, it was my school days! But even when I say this, like I read from a quote recently, it wasn’t the school which made those days shine brighter. It was always the friends, mischiefs and episodes we had gone through those days. 

Well, to start with, I would say that school is the paper on which we jot down the tale of life. But as per me schools have nothing to do with the tale written on the paper it is. We can hardly blame anyone for this. This is a bitter truth which has to be accepted though unwillingly.

Teachers come for the career this divine service offers, just like any other professionals. Profession has immensely reduced ethics quotient in this service just like in the medical profession. More than a profession Teachers and Doctor and on earth to serve life of others. One my imparting knowledge and the other by curing the ailed. As per me, people who serve as a Teacher or Doctor have the most sacred of professions on earth.

When it comes to Teachers:

I’m not here for blaming my teachers. This is only to share my view on what more to be added to the educational system. Pupils should be taught to think and dream by themselves. This can help them identify themselves where and what they should be after school. They can get help of their Teachers for the suggestions and path to reach their goal.

Why do we need a world where children study only to become doctors, engineers or accountants? Why can’t we have more trained painters, writers, actors, musicians, photographers, theatre artists, singers? First we need to grant the child the profession or the way of living he feel comfortable. This should bud from home. Parents should help children in finding their own career. I’m sure that this can reduce the number of people sailing alone in a sea of frustration.

More than all if it at least we won’t have that haunted feel of being stuck up in the wrong place. Yes!! Have a glance into you whenever time allows and find out for yourselves that we are stuck up and there is at least one thing you won’t be tired of doing. As I sit back and think, I see frames everywhere, my mind narrates my thoughts that hit me, and another part of my mind will be humming a never ending playlist. All three of these happen all the time. Then I realise that I am lost far away from what I may have become.

How wonderful a world would it be with more music, stories, paintings; with all the competing mentality wiped off; with everyone moving in tandem but not like in a race looking each other with rage.

How wonderful a world would it be…


Religion ?!?!

One with an above average reasoning potential is more likely to be an atheist than spiritually embracing this institution of religion. Now we have a choice of two dimensions from which religion can be given a view. One is that of blind man and the other of an independently thinking individual.
On one end they preach the ideologies and noetic thinking and explanations of what is told in texts followed by a religion. On another side there are the priests who are in regular touch with our dear Mr. God and a group that's completely dependent on science and calculations...the Astrologers.
Let me share an incident;
A few weeks back I visited an astrologer to find the match between two horoscopes for a marriage purpose (even though I was totally against this system). Horoscope matched. But not compatible for marriage was the verdict since both the horoscopes would go through a tedious period simultaneously after ten years. All based on pure calculations was what the astrologer claimed. The joke happened when I told this to a priest who was of the opinion that there's nothing without a solution. A special offering to the deity can clear the compatibility issue which the astrologer said. So, my question is... which is REAL? Or do these both really exist? No idea!!
I would say that religion is now septic than a rusted poison coated arrow head. And there is a different group who preaches the various complex religious texts in such a simple manner that a common man can digest, with which he can start thinking of what the ancient sages, prophets and philosophers struggled to convey to make this a better world. But the situation stands helpless and history repeats.

We live in a weird planet where people who try to stand and bring about a religiously intellectual revolution would be stoned or crucified or punished savagely by those are in regular touch with our dear Mr. God and beatifies and revere them after death is such an ironic way.
