VOICES

We come across so many sounds every day. While travelling, at home, working, in form of music and so on but there are certain sounds which connect us with specific people and humans. While travelling in metro a week back I had a very different experience, during my journey I heard so many sounds but then suddenly my attention was attracted by the voice of a baby playing around with the poles for some time I could stop myself from looking at him and listening to the humming sound he was making. Later on my attention drew towards a group of corporate females who were discussing business and investments. I was surrounded by continuous hustle and bustle of the city but still I was in harmony with some particular voices or other.

These voices they play a very different role in our lives. We get directly attached to them consciously, sub consciously. These voices they get stored into our treasure box of memories and when you hear them they bring to you the direct linkages. Voices have their own identity, personality and character. Even though we all are busy with our lives trying to adjust and harmonize with the song of life still out of nowhere some voices just tell you that you are special. That there’s something that make you unique in your own way which no one can change.  Some voices that you love to listen, some which annoys you, some which you can’t recognize, and some which you can’t forget. We all are sharing this beautiful bond of voice and connection of emotions, feelings. You don’t always need words to understand the message of your loved ones, just the frequency of the voice is more than enough. A lady who is expecting a baby gets to know about the baby in her body just by hearing the voice of the changes in her. Even the slightest sound of nature holds its own story. From the opening of a flower till the last bang of the nail in the coffin. All these sounds connect our neurons to the life experiences which we hold consciously sub consciously or unconsciously. Out of all these worldly voices there is something which you call the inner voice which travel with you all the time, guiding you, fighting with you, stopping you, provoking you and so on… these voices get in your head and play with your emotions and situations.  Voices just the way they are… are unique.

EDUCATION COMMERCIALISED
We all live in a world where getting educated is the most essential part of the human life. No matter what you getting? From where you are getting? And how you are getting but if you are not in the school or any educational institution you are a failure as per the society. Every single parent strives hard in order to provide education to their kids, no matter they themselves got education or not. Over a period of time the capitalist or commercial class of the society have taken a great advantage if this necessity of the people. They have to a very extent converted the deed of giving knowledge into a deed of earning money. It’s now a time that we should ask us one simple question. Are the people who were there years back and have attained levels of divinity, truth or wisdom they went to schools? I am sure the answer will be “NO” but in true sense they had more knowledge about life, divinity and attained high self respect and courage. We today see lots of schools being built up round the cities, starting from kindergarten, crèche, and even higher secondary schools. They all acclaim to provide highest levels of education and so but in real they play with the future of the country and the person studying there just in order to make money. The quality of education is not even up to basis level of standards as prescribed by the CBSE, ICSE or STATE BOARDS. They show the parents the outer beautification the system but the hidden coal is always a mystery for them. Parents in order to provide their kids education and make him/her capable to deal with the society put them on these schools only as per their economic status and availability of resources. I am here not criticizing the schools on personal grounds but talking in general terms, these days every society have their own kindergartens and preparatory schools. Even people as per their convenience are putting them in those schools? But Are you doing justice to your child?
The second problem is the increase in the finances of the schools and collection of money on regular basis either in the form of fees, miscellaneous charges, fares… except the basic fees a parent has to pay so much extra money WHY? Even certain schools keep on changing their uniforms, books and publications in order to get more money. The frequent the change the more the commission from these sources. The facilities they provide are not for free as they claim. The parents are either directly or indirectly paying for these facilities provided. Every school these days whether in metro cities, smaller towns and districts or villages are in a way looking out for ways to get more and more money with the passage of time. Teachers in order to earn money and not be the part of unemployment league which is also the major problem of our society are working for lower wages and the schools are keeping them. They also are then working as per the salary standards, and the level of work done shows the level of input. What all I am trying to talk to you about here is only 10 % of the major platform. It’s my humble request to all that please pay attention to this that what is more important in the long run. THE INFRASTRUSTURE OF THE SCHOOL OR YOUR KID’S LIFE? Stand together against this commercialization and your will definitely see the rise in the level of education not the brightness of the school from outside. Uniforms are important not to stand out of the crowd but to bring equality. Infrastructure is important but till the time it’s providing basic needs not to create complexes in the society. Competition is good till the time it’s healthy and fruitful not to humiliate others. Stop this.! And put a barrier against the ill feelings and lack of values and knowledge of books only which we are mainly inculcating in our children.

Sports: On- field and Off-field
Today i got a chance to attend a sports day function in one of the renowned school of the city. For all its a matter of pride and honor to see many students and athletes participating in school and especially in sports, for them its a feather in the cap to be in sports along with academics. Spirited athletes put in their hard work and life into every activity they do. Some while getting in physical aspire to become state and national level players as well as some aspire to get into armed forces based on their caliber and physical strength. while watching the pumped heart beats and enthusiasm of the students one thought provoked me to question myself about the irony of today's situation which is displayed through empty streets in colonies, younger kids playing maximum time on tabs and computers, their talks are more about animation than ambition. Most of the time a student is occupied in the stress and pressure of pear or parents. They want to excel in their lives in all fields but we the society, suppress their desires and dreams by making some or the other excuse. Why this enthusiasm is not visible off the field, why we fail in putting trust and understanding the potentials of our wards. The sound of claps and words of appreciation fill a participant with all the strength he needs to overcome his fears on field, then Why when he desires to play outside the school many of us stops him because of our fears and notions. A player is a player and he will be player if you allow him to. Its not about the person its all about the attitude we hold. So its a mirror for you that motivate the kids to play more outside the school. Its always a great way to learn the best examples of life which you are losing while being busy on online gaming portals. The feeling of falling and getting up, The feeling of cheering your friends while they contest with each other, Cracking jokes and giggling while soiling yourself in mud, Running against the Wind and shouting out loud after achievements, they hold no comparison to sitting at home and clearing levels on gaming portals. Rise up and play.! Life starts where friends meet.
