It was quite hot in the evening.Delhi in June is usually hot.So after all my evening chores...I was on my bike... Almost clueless where to go but I thought thinking cud be done on the way...
Asked myself why I let them wander so close?
When there wasn't any scope or chances...
For whatever they do or have done to hurt me,
I wonder why I don't have any complaints...
Last week was quite fascinating and wonderful.Had a glimpse of school life.Not mine of course.Had to give our software training in a school. Was quite amusing to watch those kids play and have fun. The things we miss the most I suppose.The training was for CBSE teachers. So once again in their life they had to go thru the classroom learning process. More than anything it was the experience that they shared with us mattered. It was so wonderful to hear their accounts of their experiences with the new generation and how they have to be on their toes to get in touch with the latest developments.
They were happy to be at the driving seat of the class when the session of doubt clearance started. They had thousands of doubts and I wondered as it wud be just the subset of the doubts they would be facing when they start teaching how to use CAD to children.But it was quite knowledgeable as we cud look forward to the area of improvements and modifications to suit the students need.
When the students turned teachers shared their experiences we couldn't get ourselves out of the nostalgia about how we used to be back in school days. They were worried in certain cases and happy for certain ones related to the new generations studying techniques. They were concerned about the competition for scoring higher marks as they know the maximum a student wud get wud be 100, but is that enough. Is it really what a child need, just a near to three figure mark in every subject. How much do they keep the lessons learned. For example: A teacher teaching 12 th standard said, the students are taught all the laws of physics, abt momentum and it's causes. With higher velocity the momentum increases and it takes more time n more distance to stop a vehicle. Do kids learn this lesson(Why only kids , do the grown ups??). I think the answer is plain no, coz then there wud be no rash driving accidents. So its just not enough to put things in the paper but also students need to mark up in their minds too.
Like this a lot of real life examples were given. But then why are they the only people concerned about these. Doesn't the parents have greater role to play. All they ever do is to encourage to score more marks n unknowingly the same kids would end up with lesser marks when it comes to the attitude towards real life.
It was quite an revealing experience for me to get along with the teachers who continues to teach us in one way or the another all along their life. God bless them.
Nothing's changed.These were the words that I ushered in my heart when I got down at station.On my way home I cud see the cosmetic changes all around the places but the mentality of the people still remained same. I think I am far too speculative in expecting that things will change in a matter of 6 months. What change did I expected to see or whether really I wanted to see any change at all, I dunno. But I was damned happy that life is still slow back in my hometown. Slow not in the sense of development but slow in the terms of people's attitude towards the fast furious world outside.
There was an religious function at home and I was quite amused by the way people got involved in that. From kids to old, from family to neighbors and all people in the neighborhood, all were equally enthusiastic about the function. It has nothing to do with the religion other than that it is related to a ceremony in our family temple, what I am trying to portray is the culture and traditions associated with the function.
Kids n youngsters were the persons who were more into it with elderly person closely watching their deeds. They were all around the place encouraging things in a good manner. Glad that this generation back in our village is not glued to their Cell Phones and TV, its not that they didn't have them , it's that they know how to value things. Its a very close knit network where everyone knew everyone else. And most important was that people knew the difference between blind rituals and cultural tradition.
No matter how descriptive I try to be, the real thing can only be felt only if we were present there.But then I still have to try at least. This time things seems to give a broader perspective when I analyzed how small things can matter to you in your life. And by small things I meant the moments which we would have easily overseen when compared to materialistic benefits we get from it. If we go for a reason or cause then we can easily subdue their importance but once you forget comparing or reasoning you will amazed with the amount of happiness and satisfaction this moments has in store for you.
This time I didn't want things that I scribble in here to be anywhere near to be a travelogue coz I have wrote them enough. This time I just wanted it to be a simple reminder of what it actually means to be in the wilderness and simplicity of life.

I don’t know how much I am able to bring out the actual difference between the ways of thinking. We tend to think in a different way but we are actually traveling through the same pipes of thoughts. We want to become independent. And the main theme of independence here is the economical independence. I agree it’s just a part of independence but not the whole.
So where are we actually?? I don’t know where we are heading to? We work, we earn and we thrive to perform better every time, but are we actually getting better? Sooner or later a time will come when we all will think about this way of life and what we are getting from it. But I fear it will be a bit too late for changing anything.
The mindset is something which either we should try to understand theirs or something we should create new for ourselves. There are lots of things that we even though know but pretend that it is not much of a concern. We learn a lot of things all through our life from childhood to the stage we are at present now. Things taught by our parents, by our friends and by our society, a society which thrives on the very aspect of tradition and culture. But soon there will be no culture left at all to follow .Don’t let that culture die away , don’t let materialistic things to take control of our life.
Coming to the bottom line of what I was trying to convey, I am not against anything but I am not in for everything that this fast life has in store for us. Remember everybody has a moral responsibility for everything that happens to the Mother Nature and mankind. Don’t think science will find answers for all the problems….

I thought what's bothering me.May be the fact that I am just counting my days in Mumbai. I am just growing restless from the fact that very soon I am moving out to my native place. I dunno how it was here, it was quite ok as far as I believe. Learned a lot of things and not all of them I really wanted to learn.It's a fast life here, have to adapt soon or else you will be made to adapt.
All things have just their materialistic values, that's all, thtz the end of everything. You use it to it's maximum and then try to find something better than that. So everything is spinning around the simple logic of "Use n Throw".People competing just to get better than what their neighbor's has.Why ?? "Can't they get satisfied?? No way"."Nothing satisfies me" that's the motto I suppose everybody is following here.Nothing is spared not even the relations.You will find lot of people complaining he/she is not of my type. Then why do they went out first of all. It's just the first impression that draw one person to another,then slowly the true person reveals out and that's the end. Everybody knows the fact that no two person are same, then what's the use of complaining of being not of their type. Why everyone wants other gender to be his or her type?Why are they not ready to accept the truth? No way, it's satisfaction that always counts.
