In India, kids are an entity to be looked at either as ‘Flowers of gods gardens’ OR ‘free child labour’ ! It is our moral responsibility to free them from both these sufferings & enlighten them to be even more monstrous & wild. In some place on earth, this is called as “Sanskar Varg” !
Everyone knows that the kids absolutely like to sit in one place, they don’t spoil food while eating, they listen instructions as soon as we politely request them, they sleep at 9pm & wake on their own at 8am, they brush their teeth daily, they take bath in 2 minutes & so on …. We all were exactly like this when we were kids.
I neither want to praise the behaviour nor want to change the situation. I want us to accept this for lifetime of the universe !
Apart from the jokes ….
Imagine your kid in traffic police booth on Alka chowk / Lakdi bridge on a busy Monday at 6pm. There are vehicles coming towards you from everywhere whether you want them or not. They are assigned with a job to note down following things. You can learn whole SSC book set within an hour.
- How many cars in an hour(maths)
- How many Audi cars in an hour (GK)
- How many red Audi cars (Arts)
- How many red Audi cars going towards Deccan (Geography)
- How many red Audi cars going to Deccan with family in it (Sociology)
- How many red Audi cars going to Deccan with family with Marathi nameplate (Language)
And the dedicated poor soul will do the exercise obediently till 7pm. All perfect... If your kid will learn to do it fast & correct, he will get best education, best job, best home, best wife, best career………… But…………..
What about the beautiful sunset which also was visible from the same bridge, same spot same time.
The point is not to find correct answers of questions asked, the point is we dont forget to look at the colours in the sky while we find answers… even if no one is going to give grades or marks for that !
.... Harshad.
