The Barren Future of the Developing India

Going through the usual news feed one would find increasing prices of the vegetables and cereals very common news, and would rather ignore it saying some sort of excuse, or many might just pass by the news noticing it's nothing serious that he would really care to read, and so is the case with many people.
but the problem is way way worse than it has ever been. Take a look at this video from Vox.


The video depicts CO2 emissions of the last one or two decades. But in the beginning it highlights with the voice that every year next year they say is the warmest year yet. This means that every year the temperature is rising, and at the end it's written that we are in really uncharted waters, that means the climatic changes are so drastic this time, it's like never before.

Now the bigger question is and always have been, can we do something about it ?, and the answer is plain and simple as it always have been, sure we are the only one species who can.

But I believe that if you don't know the  problem, you can't solve is as they say "The first step towards solving the problem is understanding it", this is where education comes into play, make no mistake when I say Education I don't mean literate because they both have different definitions. Education plays an important role in this, educated people will understand the problem well and might as well try to solve it but for the un-educated it's all the same, and the big deal is educated people are so naive that they don't even want to hear about any thing that is related to environment, but when environment kills it won't differentiate between anyone.

People really drive themselves to their intellectual limits to achieve that they want to achieve and that is fairly materialistic or emotional, well fair enough no one can argue about that, but in doing so are we addressing the biggest problem of all the problems. That is the question about environment that surrounds us all, under which all rich and poor all sharp and dumbs live, but either all of us are just too blind to see or we are just too ignorant that we just don't wanna see, but when in rains it rains for all.

Take my beloved city Dehradun for instance, I came here some time back, back then it was all green either you sit in your room or go out towards woods it was all quite very calm, very peaceful, I have to say it has changed drastically but I still love it because it still holds that aura about it. mainly because of the reserved forest. but the agricultural land of the village is reduced to about 50% from where I see it. Well enough about my village the whole Dehradun saw the same changes, roads grew wider numbers of cars and oil based vehicles escalated and all plants on the road divider got covered with black fumes of the emission of the vehicles. I'm not trying to be Hippocratic here I do own a vehicle but you just can't bear the sheer amount of the smoke that some diesel vehicles emits. When this morning my father said reading the front page news in the newspaper that yesterday Dehradun's temperature rose 3 times in 9 hours. I realised this is December for gods sake, what will happen when May and June comes.

When I think that this is the land where people are all attched to the nature very closely and where the heritage is about sacrifice for this nature where the trees and plants are worshiped, we are directly or indirectly poisioning our City, our State, our Country, our World, which is so unique that there's a slim to none possiblity of finding another one like this in the known universe.

But if this stays the same, forget about 2020's, Dehradun my beloved city will become Delhi sooner that that but not on the good side because believe me "Delhi is not Good". Like the good old fashioned environment articles I'll not present you guys with the solution, you already know the solution, and there are plenty of them weather you buy a cycle to reduce your travel with oil based vehicles or you just just plant a tree or you choose not to sit in a bus that emits that nasty smoke, it's up to you, all I ask is make a difference.

Which Greens do You Like

I woke up this morning and looked outside, I saw something that left me shocked smoke in the air like fog touching ground and it was far more worrying than it looks, although I would be just other chap talking about the trees but I pride myself on doing so because it's not so late and it's still time to realize what have been going on and what it is going to be. Talking about climate Delhi is one of the worst places on the earth according to a WHO survey. Now take that, the capital of largest democracy on earth is a bad place to breathe, that's unacceptable and now one after other every city is somehow following the footsteps of Delhi.
    Buildings after buildings but no trees and whatever of them are left are in grave danger all the people care about now is how they could benefit themselves sometimes it's unbelievable to realize how materialistic people could be


I remember our village from not far back in time it was a far greener, lush green place non dusty watery place different kinds of harvests around always very pleasing to remember that, and I get the same feeling when I visit my birthplace, but is it going to sustain as the time grows people either selling their land or making the buildings themselves, the point is money or investment for the future every single one of them except the ones who already have a satisfactory amount of money.
Will the money save them from the bad air that it's going to be not very far in the future or the epidemic that it will cause? The simple answer is no, but people will argue that as the number of people will they will need place to stay, but I say to them they will first need air and food to survive and than the place to stay early men's survived because they had air to breathe and food to eat.
A big question than arises is yet again a widely talked issue population, so I think it's not about government to plan that that is for every family is to plan every couple who are going to have a baby, take in account the resources you have and try to to calculate that will you kids be able to live in the same amount of resources.

And Instead of money leave a better world for them where they could settle in and live in a cleaner environment where at-least they don't have to worry about the health issues that they will face in the coming time.

Very Best Of Time To You

Aah that's a splendid century 'oops It's out'

Virat Kholi after getting caught in the 5th day of the test match  against
Australia 
So it's again the first day of test in Brisbane and it's again a sloppy dismissal for Murli Vijay, for all the work that Vijay did in the field this day, come's to a very unwanted climax again a stumped after a splendid knock of 144(runs) in "The Gabba" today reminds of just the last test against the australia in which Virat Kholi got out to a very irresponsible shot at that moment in the game, had he kept his calm and played as he was playing India would have won the match.
     This little thing had me thinking for a while when this thought came to me from my two good friends in very harsh words if you may excuse them, "it's the fault of Virat Kohli that India lost the match " and when I tried to reason with them there came a beautiful explanation "it's the duty of set batsmen in test cricket to go all the way  or at least not try to give it away when he's set for it may be a different pitch to someone who has just came in" and I said it to me these century's are nothing before the really good feeling after winning the match or is it just the milestone for the batsmen to hit a century and he can rub his hands off that he did his duty and it's not his fault , or are we not being fare to the players who have bent their back playing in the 5th days pitch when there's really a very little for the batsmen, than I said all right we should look back at time to see what is really great hitting one after another century while keeping your personel milestone in the mind, or is it that one really great inning that you play in a lifetime and be reckoned for that for the rest of your life it's really a very thin barrier between these two innings, but it's all about the mindset of the batsmen who is playing.

     It was really nothing but a small gesture from my friends, but they said a really great thing accidentally even if they don't realize it in the future. Not everyone remembers how great a player Kapil Dev was but most of them know that his knock in 1983 that made the India World Champions was the knock of his life isn't that a reason enough and example enough of the sense of responsibility.

The Number Line: Life

Life, Death, Good, bad, beautiful, ugly here we are creating the difference between the meaning of symbolic things we give the meaning to words, so it's true we gave the meaning of the death  to the word "Death" interesting it is, death is the end of all biological functions in a living body.
    So it's like a journey that you started when you were a kid and now you finish it when you die, where does the concept of haven arise and of the hell they are also the creation of the clever human mind as I have already told that all the words and their meanings are created by the human.
    Now in every religion and every other cast there are different meanings of the heaven and different are the ways to achieve the heaven, or if you don't follow it you'll just get the hell, that means in the Hindus perspective of the heaven they say cow is like a feeding mother, but Muslims have a compulsion of visiting their holy place Makka-Madina in order to achieve heaven now all the people have a ritual related to cow before going inside so they all are not-good people in a Hindu perspective but they are going to achieve the heaven that means there are misconceptions about this thing if we are made up of same organic matter why do we have different heavens we have all other things common the Mars is Mars for all of us. And the water and food.
    The protocols or the rules of the modern world, are just like the rules that are created long ago to help the world to create a equilibrium between several components of the nature and yeah they helped a lot. So we can assume that if I tell my kids that you'll go to hell if you don't follow the traffic rules and even write a book full of the illusionary ideas just to guide the kids, and maybe eventually they became famous and  people started keeping them like they keep their holy books. Yeah than the concept will change and the people who follow those rules might create a new society and call themselves something than the concept will change for them but after a hundred years people won't realise that they were the guidelines.
    The point is you live a real world and believe in things that help you and the society and shouldn't hurt anyone

Learning: Slow Process

    Study, Social Behaviour, Psychological behaviour, Habits, Creativity, Enjoyment or may I call it a whole in one or a superset of all the things we perform from waving our hand to the singing alone.
    All of them aren't from the pre-birth or I should assume there's no story like that of "Abhimaniyu"  The son of "Arjuna" in the Epic "Mahabharata" Who learned how to crack a war formation when his mother had him in the belly.
Silly but still story tells us a great lesson. Not everyone is "Abhimaniyu" Today it's just a matter of time or story only I think.

    Not distracting from the point the concern is of 21st century not from sometime in the History so it's worth telling, the massive amount of knowledge in the textbooks is a waste if you can't learn it all, or it isn't simple to learn a whole book of Multiple chapters within a semester or a hexamester because it isn't even written in a Six months period, it went through a lot of research lot of experiments lot of work and lot of time above all, what's noticeable here is that it's a fair amount of time spent by the people who wrote those books and we are supposed to learn them within a semester.
    Or it's again just study for pass strategy I think the motive of the course or the degree is not just to give a certificate just to show you know the stuff.
    The point there is the process of learning is slow, and better slow for there are things you already know and there are things you don't and the advance or the further knowledge you always gain on the basis of what you already know what if you are forced to learn something that you aren't even familiar with, things goes a little twisty here.
    And the learning isn't about the boundations of time it's about getting the things right if it isn't possible why make them worse let the people take the time they need to learn the things they want to learn.
    Or it's the hasty nature of the today's time what I assume that the society becomes what you make it we made our systems like that we need to improve the systems if not today make if slowly cuz the process of learning is slow and people will learn in the meantime.

Education: A dream? No longer

Education: The Process of  receiving of giving systematic instruction, this is a definition of the Education, Information abstractly is not so useful as it is usefull as the systematic way.
   After all it's the thing that led people to the most of the innovations more discovery's and for sure it will do the same for the coming future. Education Starts at the very point the child is born the parents telling him things, they tell him easy things understandable and easy to stick that looks pretty systematic, and as they do this they will certainly pass the things that they know most to their children, but not for the parents only today people send their children to schools at a very small age so the biggest impact on the child is of the the teachers and the fellow kids and as he's exposed to the outer world he gain things learns things and sometimes develop a passion for some of those.
   Now the trend is changing with the industrialization the good are demanded in the mass number and that requires making them in vast number so people are forced to do such jobs that they don't like more like the works in factories and like computer engineers and so many trendy things, this thing developed a changed in the educational system too, though it's so severe that it is degrading the quality of the output in comparison of the people before them, now engineering is a trend in the India and because it's the good earning job people do it.
   Indian educational system relies on the principles of the Great Books like Mahabharata and Ramcharitmanas the matter in these books is so rich in the knowledge that people assume them to be true but still they are a great source of knowledge every sort of knowledge of life every part of world have different educational strategy and every one have it's specialty which is remarkable.
   Today the strategy is different the education has become a way to earn money for the people the people that arrange coaching classes, private tutions are now big names in the Indian Industrialists and they tell the tricks to people to qualify for the exams it increases the productivity of the classes but reduces the quality of input of the institutions for the candidates are trained to qualify the exams, while their knowledge is not so sound.
   Contradictory a new tradition or the new thing that emerged in last few years is the online education it empowers the both half's the students and the teacher for the excuse of the students not to have a good teacher no more exists cuz the teachers there are world's most renowned people in their line. And the good thing is students are engaging to it. Now it's only a matter of time where the education will no longer be a dream for the poor and it will be available to all the world as it should be.

The Root Level: From the Start

       I just have a hobby to teach, you can call it a hobby cuz I don't do it for money while being a practical man if they pay me something I don't refuse neither do I ask them for money, well driving to the mainstream I say it's the cool thing to do it's like freedom you can create the whole world just there they are just like the raw clay, you twist them and you can make a teapot or you can make a cup that's up to you there I was realizing the same thing one day and with a new boy in first grade just out of the kindergarten and here I am no previous teaching experience with that little kid.
      Whatever I try to explain he won't get it, and then it became like impossible it was like a small grapes plant that's gonna be a hard climber after few years but it's a little flexible right now and I gotta take care of it, here I am exhausted after the hard trying of explaining things to him.
      I realized that the building made with no strong base is weak and we can't make it double story and if we make a house with no strong base it will collapse sometime in future, so it is a complicated
so I came to know that there is a way to explain things to a kid, it may sound weird but it will word in due course of time.
      We make the base of the house keeping our needs with the house in the mind similarly it is applicable to a kid practically we can't implement a idea of a non-living thing to a living one but somehow it's good to experiment keeping goals in mind, so I started it I make him learn the words in first time showing him the figures so that it will make a impression on the mind and constant repeating of showing figures and it's meaning to the kid will do work, to make him understand the things that I am going to teach him in the future. Rhymes play an important role in it they are ordered sounds with the words in it make him learn it and then tell them the meaning, so in few time they'll realize the meaning of the things.
     We need to concentrate on the things like not telling them wrong things it will make a impression and if they get it they will transfer the wrong meaning that you taught them to the others worse case it is, finally I'll see the in few time the effect of the experiment.
