MY HEART SPEAKS ....

We talk about building an educated society for the progress of a nation. But what's education all about? Is it just about the big numbers in the academic statistics?  The society has stereotyped and converged the meaning of education to that. I believe there is more to it. On the contrary, I don't think that should even be the meaning of education.  Everyday I read news, I get this impression of people becoming more and more intolerant towards other's opinions and convictions. I see people losing discipline, patience over small things. I see people becoming more selfish, disrespectful, unkind towards each other. Empathy has become alienated. They have become more egoistic that to be humble and to forgive make you a "soft" and "weak" person. What's the use of your high academic scores if you don't even have the commonsense to how to behave and conduct yourself in a respectable society.  Tolerance, Respect, Patience, Discipline, Forgiveness, Humble...

It is intriguing that the people who are protesting on the roads and streets of the U.S are not political workers or social workers, but people. The people who know their rights, and have the guts to question the illegitimate oppression of the Police.  Speaking of which, how many Indians have we seen questioning the Police when something similar happens in India? Not many; simply because they are scared of the Police. They are scared because they are unaware of the laws and the citizen rights, the constitution has bestowed upon them. They are unaware because they are not even taught law in schools.  Until we realise what rights we have, we would continue to be the puppets of the system. And yes, we would just remain "Hashtag Campaigners".  - Mitu

When you get an opportunity to prove yourself and you fail miserably, it is a bitter disappointment. But what if you don't even get such an opportunity ? Now, that's even more bitter. 

In life, when you go along with the flow, the life puts forth many choices before you. Its your decision whether to accept that choice or not. When you don't have an aim in your life, you are free to choose any of them in random. But what if you have a definite aim, and what if you have premeditated a choice!? Now that requires hardwork, patience and time. Hang on if you belong to the latter category. Your timeline might be slower than others, but it will definitely come. Mitu
