It may be an over hype by the media or it may be a reality. I cannot conclude sitting 2500 kms away - I am talking about the Common wealth games scam. one thing I would like to divert our attention to is the capability of Indians to plan out our work and work out our plans! 'Loot. But at least finish the work in class!' is what I want to say to Kalmadi!
Touch your heart and say how many times you would have started preparing for your exams only a week before! touch your heart and say how early you get ready to go to your office! touch your heart and say how many times, how many things you would have forgotten to take to a trip!
Many of us even think that our best comes out only when we work at the 11th hour. The creative tension is what gives us a 'kick'!
whereas one thing that I admire about the west is their ability to plan! whether they execute or whether the things go as per the plan is secondary. But the way they meticulously plan is what we need to appreciate. I also sometimes wonder is it because of this organized culture that they had that made Indians admire them when the British stepped into India. And whether it was this ability that made us a slave to them.
The magnificent buildings in Marina beach, the mount road, the central station buildings, the Rippon buildings! If you actually think there was no need at that point of time for the Britishers to build such huge roads and buildings. But thank god they had built it that way. Or else imagine the chaos!
Are we Indians very short sighted! are we really lacking the skill to plan! Should the schools start preparing students to analyze, plan from long term perspective, visualize and look beyond!
Ask a teacher what she is doing and majority of the teachers may just say "I teach!". Aren't the teachers the nation builders! Aren't teachers the creators of a generation! aren't teachers the architects of the future! Unless we wake up this fact to the large teacher community, who are just like 'Hanuman' who forgot all his strengths , we are going to continue to produce short sighted, self centered and unorganized generations after generations!
We need 'Jambavans' to come and wake up the thousands of ignorant 'Hanumans'. Once they wake up no body can stop them! :)
Jai Hind!
Let us become Jambavans for those with whom we meet and interact! Let us help them to know their own Potential, own strength, own knowledge which is hidden within.. In the on going process, definitely we ourselves also will be able to throw out our complete Potential which is buried inside!
