Education: A Deciding Factor

Education has become more of a society status symbol rather than a necessity or essentiality. Now a days, people think getting a degree or a Ph.D or a 6 digit salary is what education means. Education has become an instrument for most of us to get a good job, to build up a shining career. The original purpose of education has been long forgotten. Because, academics are now career oriented, we are not seeing any brilliant scientist or a visionary leader or an engineering genius emerge. Most of the teachers are in the profession only because they don't get any other. This will ruin the future of our country and the future generation.

The main problem is that our education system is not good enough to find the right fits for the right profession. Children should be given chance to show their talents and skills from the primary schools itself. Their interests should be understood by the teachers. Different beings have different skills and different interests. Our education system is not giving enough attention to each and every girl/boy and what is her/his skillsets or interests and nurture it. Some say, giving attention to each and every one is not practical, but i say it is possible if teachers are responsible and those who are in this profession are the right ones. Teaching is a selfless act and it should be. Teachers influence on children are immense, thats why someone it is important that someone who teaches should be in that profession, should not be for salary or for the sake of getting a job, but for right reasons.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present social values. Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions" - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
