Today's India wants lot of Average Joes
by TSK. Raman
For us to have swachh thoughts all the time isn't really possible. Our mind is a traveller, if not a vagabond, sometimes it stumbles upon a treasure of wonderful ideas/thoughts and at other times is wastes away of useless, lousy thoughts. We are humans so we definitely can't hold on to this process, but what we can do is to fine tune our minds towards good, amicable thoughts. To accomplish this it is important for us to get more educated on the find art of living life. And when I say living I certainly do not mean the mundane 24/7/365 life, process – study, job, matrimony, family, functions, property, EMI's and eventually death.
Someday everyone of us have to meet up with out creator, then why do we make this life so boring and dull. This journey of life is only worth it, when a person has experienced life to the fullest!
The joy of lying down on the terrace (if you have the luxury of one) and looking up at the night sky that can offer a few stars to see, whatever little the haze of pollution spares for us. This to go with soft good old music of the olden days from masters like Md. Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Hemanth Kumar, Talat Mahomood, Mukesh, Lata Mangeskar, Asha Bhosle etc., which has the magic of transporting us into a totally different world, if not period.
How many of us actually lead a life that we really enjoy?
When was the last time you walked into an art exhibition and enjoyed the art pieces on display or when is it that you walked into a music festival to enjoy the classical artists.
We behave just like machines, commercializing relationships and converting every flicker of opportunity into economic gains/financial benefits.
Let's talk now about the other area, and that of our kids.
There are dozens of schools in every square kilometer and expensive one's at that.
The nut's and bolt's of the future are manufactured here and then transformed into masses (far more in numbers than the Chinese Factories). They are being made , I do not know with or without purpose thought, but are certainly made Engineering, Software, Electronics, IIT, IIM Medicine, Law, Civils and Business. If they fit into the moulds fine, else even God Almighty can't, because they don't really fit into any other stream or anywhere else. And like any other manufactured product that come with an expiration date these kids too, it occurs when the burden of social standards crush them to the ground leaving them devoid of any other option.
May I appeal to the parents to stop instrumenting your kids only for success, I would say, prepare them too for the failures that life will offer. If my guess is right with working parents, they hardly have anytime to teach or spend with their kids. The least best thing they could do next is to introduce them to books that will help guide them to improve knowledge and expose them to realities of life.
The India that these kids are growing in, needs more of smart average Joes endowed with abundance of common sense, who will know how to handle stress, success, failure with the same level headed-ness. Several research studies tells us that kids who indulge in at least one outdoor sport, read books, adventure travel, appreciate nature and art, grow not only as successful humans and family people but also become able administrators and professionals who will set the standards in society.
