When Would People Learn?


 

Birthdays are for kids many affirm.

 

Weddings bind  two people say

 

Sixtieth  celebrations  are for the middle-aged nowadays

 

Eightieth function  are for the old mostly .

 

Cenetenary are for the lucky few.

 

Every one irrespective of age indulge in ostentation nowadays

 

Functions come one after another compelling attendance,

 

They demand  presentations and gifts

 

They enforce  hours of chit chatting,

 

 Thus inviting more trouble than cordiality,

 

When would all these become a private affair?

 

When would all these attain an austerity?

 

When would people learn?

Impermanence.


Mortals think they are immortal.

Rich feel they are  absolutely insulated.

Powerful assume they are invincible.

Wise observe everyone with zeal.

Thus goes the world  round and round

unaware of its impermanence.

Are Schools Really Seats of Learning?


 

Article first published as Are Schools Really Seats of Learning? on Blogcritics.

 

Schools are seats of learning. They should inculcate values and establish reason while imparting education. The personality, as a whole, should undergo a development.

The child in school has to blossom into a beautiful individual endowed with refinement and sharpened wit. Academic excellence alone should not be the prime criterion, as it can be anybody’s achievement once you rely on learning by rote, revisiting the subjects often, and taking innumerable tests and examinations. Top grades have become the targets of modern schools, which try to churn out products in quantity tagged with high scores, very much akin to industries producing goods.

Industry aims at profit and looks out for competition. If the industrial houses slacken their productivity their existence in this highly competitive world becomes a question mark. They have to service loans borrowed from financial institutions, pay wages to their workers, buy raw materials, maintain quality, pay power charges, and spend on research and building infrastructure to survive in the marketplace. As their demands are high, they concentrate on production.

Schools do not have such compulsions. Production should not be their aim. Quality should come first. The teacher should teach the child in depth, not look into the grades. The pupil should understand the subject before he or she is tested on it. The child should enjoy learning, which leads to a love of the subject. It is the teacher who makes a lesson interesting or boring. A monotonous lecture confined to the subject renders it extremely uninteresting. An hour of lecture should contain a pep talk, a discussion relevant to the subject, then take up the core lesson followed by a short question and answer period.

The last period of every school day should be allotted to games, moral science, library, hand work, debating, and quizzing. The students’ work should be displayed in the classroom ando remain there for the term. Parents should be invited to see their child’s performance. This would develop bonding, a grip over the child, and a rapport with the teachers.

How many schools do these things? The child right from kindergarten is subject to tests. Examinations bring in fear. The small child undergoes a tedium that robs him of his childhood fancy and imagination. He becomes a live gadget and assumes a mechanical style of living. He gets up in the morning, rushes to school, listens to the teachers, comes back home, does homework, and prepares for tests. His eyes automatically close, leaving him a hapless child devoid of freedom and enjoyment.

The parental pressure on the child is enormous. They impose their aspirations on him. They want him to become an engineer or a medical professional so that he can turn out to be an income generating machine. The child has no choice. He has to obey his parents. The child has to study irrespective of his wishes, and graduates as an engineer or doctor. Thus begins his ordeal of making money. He does so and builds wealth. He has sacrificed his interests and love. He has lost his childhood happiness which will never come back at any price.

Nowadays schools are run as businesses. Education has become expensive. It is an economic novelty bound by no principles. It is a great money spinner. Many with little education establish schools, as they yield enormous revenue. The world has found a technique based not on science or commerce, but on the fundamentals of desire and greed.

Schools  are apparently great enchanters attracting the public with their intrigue and seducing them by their fanciful advertisements and misleading pro formas.

Nature Warns.


In the early evening I felt a shudder.

The chair rocked a while.

The table shook a second.

The building jolted  a minute.   

The head wobbled dizzy.

There was panic all over.

 

It was only the  day before.

It was a hot afternoon.

There was not even a breeze.

The tremor caught us unaware.

We were left gaping at the disaster.

 

The disaster was not heavy.

There were no casualty in the run.

There was no monetary loss in the trend. 

The people got evacuated for reasons known

The coastal area felt devastated expressing a frown.

 

The devastation was not physical to the core.

The scare was thoroughly profound all the more.

The apprehension was killing at the most.

The recollections were fearful foretelling a Tsunami

There was a deadly silence reminiscent of a melancholic sadness.

The desolation carried a reference of  lethal premonition.

 

The desolation started to overwhelm in magnitude.

The will to live was driving everyone in platitude.

Nature has its own way of signalling its motion.

It warns the people of their shortfalls.

Wittingly,we cause damage to her in our own way.

Destroying the environment morbidly.

 

Morbidly we throng the habitations in multitudes

Recklessly we contaminate the earth  committing destitute.

Avariciously we work on her for our benefit with self-conceit

Unmindful of her great discomfort and  terrible plight 

Patience has been her virtue for long.

Destruction has been our goal for too long.

 

Playing with Nature is dangerous,mind you

Kidding her virtuosity is harmful,beware.

Humiliating her is perilous,be warned.

She would suddenly break with a vengeance.

Throwing out and tearing  everything in a violence.

Perfidious Lawyers-“May Your Tribe Increase”


Every legal case is different.

As it has no precedent.

It may differ in degree  macro or micro.

It might have merit or demerit although.

 

Judgments  are independent.

Not clasped by averment.

Justice  has to uphold truth.

 Not  to downgrade truth.

 

Counsels have to study the case sheets  deep.

Not act shoddily  as though  half asleep.

A sound knowledge of law is a must.

To fight the case when put to test.

 

Each case is a new edict.

Never rely on the previous verdict.

Each one has twist and turn.

Review it  sincerely without a spurn.

 

 Remember, the client is your King.

Never you could  become  a King.

He, who pays you is atop.

You, who receives should never flop.

 

Never try to override him.

If so, you are deceiving him.

He would strike you hard.

And bash you without any regard.

 

Rude gestures would run you out.

Impolite words would throw you out.

Arrogance would doom you forever.

Authority would shun you more so ever.

 

Insecurity in profession drags you perhaps,

Lack of confidence in your ability draws  you perhaps,

A hurried escape might be your requirement perhaps.

An express exit from the situation might be your motive perhaps.

 

Desirous of earning more and more is your goal.

Greed has seized your complacency in a toll.

An attempt to betray the client is highly contemptuous.

Surely, all lawyers, with no exception are perfidious

The Cardinals


Mind your language.

It reflects your lineage.

It gives you a leverage.

 

Mind your anger. 

It talks of you in meagre 

It lasts longer.

 

Mind your behaviour.

It illustrates your interior.

It delivers a profound exterior.

 

Mind your pride.

It takes you for a ride.

It dwells within your hide.

 

Mind your desire.

It evolves an aspire.

It diffuses into an ire.

 

Mind your attire.

It might infer a satire.

It spreads an admire.

 

Mind yourself in the world.

It is the perfect road.

It would lead you to heights untold.

Life Is To Give.


Life is to give out liberally.

It is not a reciprocal take strictly.

Live without any expectations nearly.

Life is beautiful with tremendous potentiality.

 

A child is a gift of God.

She has to grow up with a nod.

It is her life be it odd.

The way to live is her prod.

 

It is the parental duty to bring her up .

Affection and discipline make her reach high up.

Tending to her is an interesting close up.

No more should be expected than this one up.

 

Be that with your children more so.

The same holds good with your parents also.

It should be the principle in your life ever so.

Expecting nothing from anybody for whatever so.

 

Content is King goes the saying generally.

It is for a different context say you smilingly.

To me it is contentment that precedes  others normally.

It is a special enthusiasm that evolves gracefully.

Running Away.


Running out of everything is no excuse.

It is a cowardly attempt in the infuse.

It is a defeat wholly likened to an abuse.

Nevertheless it is a defaming accuse.

 

Trials might force an inevitable exit.

Deeds might induce an indelible debit.

Compulsions would drive us to death albeit.

Convictions would retrieve us from extremes in tacit.

 

Well, that would be a case to  take into account,

A case to do research with diligence in the count.

Getting away from the practicalities is a sure discount.

Analysing the deficits with care is a solution paramount.

 

The anxiety to run away is pervading all so.

It would be a temporary reprieve all the more.

Overcoming the tribulations is a task in the fore.

Emerging triumphant is an achievement that soars.

Two Men On The Road.


Heard a shriek across the road,

A girl was knocked down by a car,

The driver dashed her down,

Then sped like a whirlwind.

The girl lay in a pool of blood.

Moaning in pain with half closed eyes.

A stranger made way through the crowd,

Lifted the half dead girl to his vehicle,

Off he went to the hospital,

She was saved in a few hours .

A man like the first lives in this world.

Another man like the second lives too.

A call From A Mobile Phone.


Mobile phone is called as cell phone in some parts of the world,

Cell phone is  referred as hand phone in other parts of the world,

It is a phone lying unattended somewhere in my world

 

Mobile phones have made great strides recently,

Everyone has it even during his ride definitely,

Exposing his life to a an alarming danger certainly.

 

People can reach us wherever we are is a plus

They can trouble us from wherever they are is a minus,

Keep us posted of  wanted and unwanted news is a trespass.

 

 All said and done to me, far from being useful it is just handy ,

 All for the matter to me it is expensive but small and funny,

All the much so to me it is  a gadget that remains a mystery.

 

Do I really need a mobile is my call?

Ma ,you should possess one is my boys call,

I do not need one as I rarely move out is my call.

 

Factually,my life is a movement  from one room to another,

I never venture out of my home  at any cost how so ever,

A mobile is an unnecessary to a home bird like me all so ever.

 

I do own a mobile,I know not for what,

I placed it in my cupboard from the day I bought,

It rings and dies with no attention brought.
