Do I really need to...

 Do I really need to.....
As I scrolled through my whatsapp messages, I came across an interesting letter written by school teacher to the parents of the students which quoted
“ Your children will be sitting for exams soon and you all hope they would pass with high grades. It would be great to see all students pass with good grades.. In case if your kid didn’t get good grades, Remember musician don’t need mathematics, Sports man don’t need physics, Artist don’t need Biology. Every student has different talent. Life is not only about studies, encourage and motive your children and you will see them conquer great heights”
What we can do: We don't need to inspire those who study hard with absolute passion, instead inspire those who have special talents of being a musician, sportsmen, artist etc...etc.. to take up education and use education and education system to their advantage.
Isn’t it a great letter written by a responsible teacher. Hope everyone gets such a great teacher. Its rare to get such note from teacher. Usually the note reads “ You ward is not scoring good grades, make him study and practice well at home” then why the hell we are sending our children to school. We get used to homework, carry on the habit throughout the rest of our life, bringing homework from office too.
How education system help: Back to the core topic, schools are the place where kids gets their first mentor, first music teacher, first coach etc.. etc.. Most of the talents are identified in schools and enhanced in college. Willing or unwilling you have to continue your studies to get those free service from school or colleges. Though studies are tedious, it shapes and develops the personality of children. Schools and colleges have libraries where you have access to large number of books which  can polish you beyond
Why to continue studying: At dawn one can find musicians, dancers and or artist performing on the road side. Have you ever thought why these people are performing in the street, you will get to know that these people are not educated to identify and grab the available opportunities.
At this point a bigger question arises, are those successful artist, sportsmen, artist.. are all well educated. Not all are well educated but for the gifted ones with tons of talents and well educated, success is very close and on your doorsteps.
Mr. Bean one of the greatest comedians was very successful despite having stammering. He could overcome the difficulties as he is well educated. In a country where 1.2 billion people follow cricket, you can find most of the famous cricketers are well educated. Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad, Rahul Dravid, and now R.Ashwin are engineers, they managed well their game and education.
Are you really pushing through for success: I would describe those gifted guys who forsake education as short visional, as they only cherish the happiness at that particular moment and least bothered about being a successful musician, sportsman or an artist. Instructions pamphlets are distributed in English to all Olympians, If they don’t know English they will not even know where the practice venues are located.
If a musician don’t know acoustics(physics) how he can perform in a large auditorium all notes will overlap, If a sportsman doesn’t know anatomy how he can keep up his fitness, If an artist doesn’t know chemistry his color combination won’t be stable and fade away quickly.
This is exactly what the teacher wanted to convey in his letter, which I have elaborated. Parents keep in mind don’t be very strict and don’t be lenient.. instead explain to your children and make them understand the practicality.
Do I really need to... Yes you need to hang on and pass your exams if you need a successful career in any field

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity. Every individual in India respec

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
