any survivor of a war how many heinous crimes has he witnessed and the person will surely be able to tell
you a million tales. And every tale will be a narrative of a harsh struggle.
We, the offspring’s of a peaceful era, might not be able to relate to the ways
of such folk, however we are not completely absolved from the struggle.
Although the casualties of the conflict we face might not be so physical in
nature, it has consequences that crop up from time to time but remain de-linked
to a much vaster social phenomenon.</span></span></div>

change in the basic value system of the nation, identity crisis, adaptation to
globalization etc. It is not something one can escape because it affects almost

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A closer
scrutiny may unveil that it is actually a battle between the fundamentalists
and the ‘intellectuals’. While the intelligentsia shun the totalitarian views which
they believe have been adjusted to suit the comfort of a certain class, the
fundamentalists consider the acts of opposition to be blasphemy. With the
fundamentalists hell bent to prove their sanctity and ‘intellectuals’ trying to
prove them wrong, the sparks are bound to occur. However, both approaches being
extremist in nature fail to address the intricacies at play.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The correct way to approach any cultural belief system
is not by accepting it as a holy writ without any challenge or demur or
shunning it altogether but by realizing that its righteousness depends on the
place of its host society in time. Moreover all belief systems evolve as the
society advances technologically and it’s spatial mobility increases but that
change is slow and may contain some broken links which result in rigidity of
the subservient minds and pass as religious dogma by the educated class.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The best way to discover these broken links is by
considering the belief system and rituals to be created by rational and far
seeing individuals and open our minds to them. By not shunning them as
stupidity or following them as commandments we begin to see the possible
rationale behind them. The rationale behind a lot of what the intelligentsia
might pass today as dogma, such as marriage at the age of 15-16, around
puberty, or importance of a peepal tree due to its capacity to produce oxygen
even at night, or the invention of a cast system to distribute work according to
the inherent capacities of people and the intended eventual ascend of all by
education (which went horribly wrong), etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 115%;">Many of such rationale
won’t be applicable today but it helps us in demolishing rigidity that has become
an imposition leading to disturbances in the peaceful existence and progress of
our society. </span></span></span></div>

When I was in Junior K.G. we had a subject called "Moral Science". It taught a lot of things that seem to be important in a righteous society. Things like "Honesty is the best policy" , "Jealousy is bad" and "Importance of Working Sincerely". However everywhere I see ,not people of principles, but people of expediency. I see the entire social structure built on expediency. Every rule, pronouncement or directive that you come across anywhere is an exercise in self-seeking and its enforcement ensures perpetuity of opportunism. The only question we need to ask is "Who made the Rule?" and we see expediency in play.<br />
<br />
For example: The Indian Caste System dictates that out of cast marriages are acts of blasphemy. But there seems to be an exception many a times when it comes to men indulging in the same. Why is that? While hardcore feminists would argue that its a male chauvinistic and patriarchal society (which might be true), I resort to the explanation that the founders of any cast had expansion on their agenda.<br />
<br />
If we shift our focus to the Justice System around the world we see the imposition of Capital Punishment for grave crimes. While the morality might not grant the freedom to indulge in such an act, expediency endows people with the same.<br />
<br />
Everything from the school rules to company policies & governmental policies are created for their self-seeking purposes. And it is Great as long as we are a part of that GROUP. It is said that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...but do they? If the "RULES" are nothing but an exercise in self-seeking, then I should be justified in breaking them for egoistical reasons.<br />
<br />
Also it raises the question of whether "Morality" is nothing but a fiction formulated by the society to prevent complete pandemonium. Was Heath Ledger (a.k.a The Joker) right when he said:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">You see, their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke" </i>?</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I arrived in
Mumbai, just a few days back and the culture here seems indicative of a trend
becoming more and more popular, and it is terribly disappointing. I daily see
hoards of people running from day till the night (which is not the
disappointing part) trying to sustain themselves. What is disappointing is the
coldness, the mechanised approach to life. Treating life like an assembly line,
where each component has its own specialised function, and is well connected by
networks. Here most people would argue that networks provide economical
solutions to daily and business problems. However, they fail to see that
networks drain the vitality from communities and families. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This trend
is prominent in every aspect of the culture that we see today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;">Beginning
from education, we are pitted against each other and taught to compete and thus
we prepare alone which is a very solitary, lonely experience.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;">The
best indicative of the strength of a culture is its kitchen. For it is in the
kitchen that a language is spoken that addresses the eye, the ear, the nose,
the tongue and even the skin, all five senses, something that all of us are
exposed to since childhood but few of us realize. A traditional Indian kitchen
was a sacred place. But today it seems like a factory with all gadgets, clean
and quick, just like a chore or an industrial activity.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;">Have
a problem, consult a specialist, because you are not qualified enough to solve
it. This trend arises from the need of the networks that requires surrendering of
all judgement except the one that is of interest to the network.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;">Nuclear
families are on the rise where everyone is with each other only out of
necessity and not due any kind of emotional bonding.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;">We
see a decreasing number of people going to the park/garden for rejuvenation.
And if they do, no interaction with each other until and unless instructed by
their yoga (art of living, etc) teacher.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -18pt;">Increased
addiction to televisions and laptops that acts as a hallucinogenic drug. The
definition of spending quality time with your loved ones means watching a movie
together.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As an impact
of these trends we see more and more people going to the psychiatrists, living
a lonely, depressed life. A research states that the ‘happiness levels’ of
people in today’s time is even lesser than the one ‘s during ‘The Great
Depressions’ of the 30s. This is because the fragmentation caused by excessive
networking creates a sense that our lives are out of control-----and they are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Aristotle
once said that “The only way to become completely human is by participating in
a complex range of human affairs”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We adjust because we can not find a way to correct the system. But a very radical thought struck my mind the other day.....What if we shun the system all-together, rather than trying to patch it up every now and then. What if we try to build the system from the scratch. Design it again??</div><div><br /></div><div>However designing OUR OWN system and running it under the nose of our own government requires guts (first of all) ,tolerance and the strong belief in the system, so much so that even if doing the right thing requires to break certain laws, we are ready for it.</div><div><br /></div><div>The power always lies in the hands of community and when the people realize this it is possible to create a new world a better world. A parallel governance, parallel economy and a parallel society is the need of the hour. </div><div><br /></div><div>Those people who are up for the challenge and believe they can create a better world. Who have faith in themselves more than the people who always try to rule them, control them, suppress them and exploit them, please share your ideas....Comment or send me a mail..... I am a maverick....are YOU!!!!!!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br

CallThe race is on for putting children in elite schools equipped with state-of-the-art technology and brilliant infrastructure.The parents today want their children to study in the grandiose schools even if it means they have to pay for it through their noses.But the question that most of them forget to ask before they plunge is......Will such schools provide a true and all round education?<br /><br /> "Ofcourse it will....It has a computer on every desk, a very nice sports facility center, cctv cameras, digital boards and what not...it can compete with any international school..!!" they say.And when in spite of all this, if the child fails to perform, he/she is emotionally tortured.."Do you realise how much we pay for your education?You seem to have no sense of responsibility......." etc etc.<br /><br /> My question is, Is the bombardment of information sufficient?Is not the purpose of education to equip the students with a mindset which can enable them to collect,decipher and implement that information all by themselves?While these kind of schools rank high on facilities criteria, most of them rank quite low on teaching criteria.The teachers are hardly concerned about the development and prosperity of the student, except for the Parent-Teacher meets where they pretend to show a lot of concern.<br /><br /> And how can they be concerned?With a class of 40 to 60 students, one hardly gets time to know and help each student individually.While the management is busy churning out strategies to evade paying taxes and hiding black money in bogus accounts, the students are everlastingly ignored.At the same time, parents believing that they have finished their duty by paying schools fees, accuse their children of insincerity.<br /><br /> If the scenario continues to be the way it is, we will be seeing more and more of "dumb" students.Students that might know a lot but understand a little and can utilize nothing.Students that are qualificationally superior but ethically apathetic.Students who,trained in consumerism, care only about profit and loss and not about anything else.If this is to be prevented, we individually need to take responsibility to spread awareness about the capitalistic nature of most of the schools and vow to educate ourselves ,adopt a sceptical attitude and strive to become self-made.It is time to WAKE UP!!AnpadhGeniushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10752407662007175322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811949455626422377.post-89794995036280596392011-02-04T12:18:00.000-08:002011-02-04T13:18:47.521-08:00InsightCome the board exams and all hell breaks loose.Student helplines constantly ringing,newspapers filled with news about suicide attempts and the rise in the depression rate of students.The question is why so much fuss about a mere examination?Answer is quite simple.It is because we have been educated to treat everything like a means to an end and nothing else.It is because our learning is constantly led by either greed or fear.Greed to secure rewards/fame and fear of not doing well in life.And this takes out all the fun out of learning.<br /><br />When we look at our books and the words, letters and sentences in it as dead objects incapable of bringing any significant transformation in our lives, we begin to find it boring.But a degree being a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">necessity</span> to do well in lives and marks being a medium to 'prove' ourselves we <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">strive</span> to get marks.Some numbers on a piece of paper become an obsession...so severe that it causes depressions and suicides.But even if we manage to survive, the life <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">doenst</span> get any better.This mentality of treating everything as only a means to an end continues in the job.Everyday becomes hectic ,boring,lusterless,dull and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">prisonlike</span>.....<br /><br />If at all there is an urge to change things, the thinking must first change.Learning can be fun, it can be innovative ..ALIVE.Knowledge itself might not interesting, but if we combine it with out imagination to use it ,apply it,to alter the world around us,even if little, our learning becomes worth it.Creativity combined with knowledge can work wonders.Then learning no longer remains a chore, as you fall in love with it.Just as a 'not so famous' saying says:<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Learning should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts</strong>AnpadhGeniushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10752407662007175322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811949455626422377.post-23851282403958485962011-01-28T20:15:00.000-08:002011-01-29T02:26:35.906-08:00Friend

the Invisible"This piece of land is a terrific deal..."says an amateur investor to his father "the area is posh, the prices are good...its a once in a lifetime opportunity".His father also an investor replies "But the police in the area is quite irresponsible...its prices might drop in the long run".Confused the boy asks his father "What has police got to do with realty..??"."Look son, if the police are not efficient it leads to increase in thefts and murders and other crime.It is then obvious that the people do not want to live in an area which is not safe...consequently the prices drop....".<br /><br /><a

gives you the skill to read and write while education provides you with a mindset to look beyond what is visible.There are a number of places where this kind of thinking will be very useful</div><ul><li>Sitting for an interview if the candidate can grasp ,not the question, but what the question is asked to test, the candidate will crack it.</li><br /><br /><li>Preparing for an exam if the ,by looking at the past papers, the student sees a pattern that is followed, exam becomes a cake-walk.</li><br /><br /><li>Investing in realty,gold,mutual funds etc..if we can look at the factors that will affect the investment we can avoid many non-profitable deals.</li><br /><br /><li>Negotiating with a person if we can comprehend,not his words, but his motives, we will not only understand the person better but might prevent a lot of troubles arising from misunderstandings</li></ul><div><br /><br /></div><p>The list can be endless.History was created by people who saw what others did not.But the current education methods ,built on the herd mentality, impairs this skill in a student severely.Not being encouraged to question the rules and systems the institutions have invented kills the ability to grasp the 'why' of things.Understanding the 'why' of things gives us the power to solve all the problems and manipulate circumstances to our requirements.</p><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>As the school and college books dont teach us that we will need to take responsibility for our own education.And the only way to develop that skill is by being skeptical.Inquiring the reasons behind the protocols and deductive thinking is what will equip us to prosper....</div><div><br /><br /><br

Wanted!!!!Every now and then we see ads in newspaper demanding qualifications like B.ed(for schools) and M.Phil(for colleges) but rarely do we see an ad demanding the most important requirement of teaching.......concern for the students.Teaching has become just an alternative for a job that,in people's opinion,demands minimum of efforts and least hassle.This type of notion has led education to the frustrating state it is presently in.<br />Some of the characteristics of teachers and professors in our college are:<br /><ul><li>Too much arrogance to ADMIT their ignorance ...let alone working on it.</li><li>An urging desire to get their egos pampered</li><li>Utter lack of concern regarding betterment of students and their future</li><li>Using verbal abuse as an important tool for teaching (thank god its not physical)</li><li>Giving students meaningless writeups in the name of submissions. </li><li>Using vivas as a tool to insult/demoralize students.</li><li>Practising a grading system that is majorly based on impressions(the ability to flatter) rather than knowledge</li></ul><p>The list can be endless.Most of the teachers in schools and colleges share their characteristics with those above mentioned.Some teachers in today's time even have a characteristic of ogling at the female students and others to the extent of molesting them.What is more fustrating is the parent's lack of intrest in their child's college/school.This has led to an alarming rise in student suicides ,teen violence, use of alchohol,cigarettes , drugs etc.....</p><p> Even if the institutes insist on treating educaton and learing as a business, we , their customers, should be allowed to draft ads in the newspapers like......</p><p align="center">Teachers Wanted:</p><p align="left">Lack of

they see is your bank balance".This attitude has become very rampant in today's time.The value of education is diminishing in the minds of children as well as their parents.After all children learn from their parents.The question is whether this attitude is correct....? </div><div></div><div></div><div><br /><strong>Well here's a story</strong> :<br /><br />In a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">voluptuous</span> city known for its <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">entrepreneurial</span> spirit and abundance of business class, there resided a family whose wealth exceeded the possesions 70% of the city population's combined.<br />The family comprised of a man, his wife and his only son.After his son completed his 12th standard exam, his father asked him to join the family business and he was pleased to do so.When the boy reached a marriagable age his father started looking for a bride.After some looking, a meeting was fixed between the the girl and the boy and the conversation went as follows.<br /><strong>Boy</strong>:You look very beautiful and I want to marry you.I will provide you with all the luxuries in the world.What do you have to say..?<br /><strong>Girl</strong>:Even I like you but I will marry you only on 1 condition......you must complete your graduation.<br /><strong>Boy</strong>:We have a flourishing business and very respectable reputation in the market.What is the use of a degree.....I dont think we need it.<br /><strong>Girl</strong>:My condition is unalterable...I have made myself clear....If you cant even do such a small thing for me .....forget the marriage proposal.<br />And so it was decided.The boy, having fallen in love at first sight, convinced his father to allow him to pursue graduation although both of them considered it a waste of time.The subject of graduation did not matter much so he decided to choose a subject of intrest....computers(BCA to be specific).<br />Came the new millenium and the world was struck by the revolution called.....internet business.It opened many doors and provided very bright prospects....the world was discovring a whole new way of doing business....But there were a few people who were not all that happy about the progress the word was making.Those were the ignorant and rich business class.The people who once cared two hoots about their competitors were struggling to survive and avoid bankrupcy.<br />The boy's father could not fathom why his customers were running away.The boy seeing the situation decided to open an online portal.The company was tight on cash and could not afford a professional web designer so the boy decided do all the work himself.<br />The website started bringing good revenues and their life slowly but steadily returned to normalcy.The day the company revenues reached 10cr mark, he told his wife "Thank you so much for making me do graduation...had it not been you we would have gone bankrupt just like other businesses in our line".....And you know what the wife replied...????<br />"The world is not stagnant...it changes rapidly....in a world where fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye, Education provides the foundation and stability on which empires are build.Money is an important aspect of life but we still need education to retain it...and there are many situations where money alone will not suffice.Knowledge is the new wealth"</div></div></div></div>AnpadhGeniushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10752407662007175322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811949455626422377.post-80332095819018315802010-12-23T22:07:00.000-08:002010-12-23T22:56:42.956-08:00Competition Success Review"Look how good Mr Sharma's son is doing.....You should learn something from him".If you have ever been a student you have probably heard this phrase.Only the names vary but the dialogue remains same.From early childhood we have been conditioned to compete with others and look upon others as adversaries rather than allies."Working hard is not enough,we need to cut others down in this fiercely competitive world if we want to succeed".This type of statements have also become common in today's time.Even premier institutes and teachers preach the philosophy of success at any cost...But is that success worth it...???<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Well Here's a Story:<br /><br /></span>Dhruv had just completed his 9th standard and stepped into 10th standard.Being a crucial year,his parents had told him "Look son,you are our hope and you have to make us proud.We want to see you in the boards"(i.e among top ten rankers).They put him into coaching for the exam even before the vacations got over.He also studied hard to fulfill his parents expectations.He missed out all the cricket matches(that he loved),stopped going out with friends on get-togethers and gave up on everything he loved.Success at any cost was what was taught to him.He was even advised to demoralize other competitors to boost his chances of success.Gradually his friends found out what he was upto and stopped socializing with him.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

moment that was for his parents and for him too.......But wait .....just look what the stupid boy did......this boy,after seeing the results simply ran away from his home!!!!!Before fleeing, he met his only friend Raj ,and the conversation went as follows............ <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Raj:</span>Why do you wanna run away??Look how successful your life is....You have topped center, your parents will buy you anything you want now,you have become an example for all the students in our school.......<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dhruv:</span>Successful i am....but the price i have paid for it is too large....By competing with every one in the school i have lost all my friends,i have missed my cricket matches, get togethers picnic outings.For this one moment of joy, i have missed out on thousands or probably millions of little joys that i cant get back....Moreover i am fed up of the conditional love that my parents have to offer to me...We love you if you are successful...and dont if you are not......I am running away because i dont believe in "Success at the cost of Life....."AnpadhGeniushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10752407662007175322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811949455626422377.post-73117735509189406462010-11-26T22:01:00.001-08:002010-11-26T23:26:18.277-08:00UNITED
