Life is a walk of pain

When i see the road, i worry
When i see the wastes dropped collectively on the roadside, i worry
When i see a child in need of help on the road, i worry
When i see a old man cleaning the shops on the roadside, i worry
When i see a man pulling, sweating and riding with heavy loads in three wheelers on the road, i worry
When i see a man working at the top of buildings with his life far from the roadside, i worry
When i see students protesting on the road at noon just to make a show, i worry
When i see myself a part of this, i worry

When all this worries hit me, there are moments that erases all this
A Mother protecting her child from hot sunshine using her saree,
Kids enjoying the walk towards school with friends,
A worker smiling in joy after earning the money,
A banner showing the success of pain,
So much worry, so little a joy to smile - Life is a walk of pain

Sometimes i feel so proud to be part of this world but most time i feel cursed. There are two types of man i see,

A - a man who goes up in his life by looking down, will never fear to come down.
B - a man who goes up by looking up, will dare to do anything to stay on top in fear of getting down"

At the moment, B is leading A in huge margin but when A starts taking lead, i feel the world is blessed with joy and missed with worries

Thank you,

Home at first

Three days ago, i had good conversation with my sister elder daughter Nivedha who is studying 4th standard in Matriculation school. The conversation is just reminded again what's the wrong our school teachers are doing.

Me: What is the name of our PM? Prime Minister?
Nivedha: Jawarherlal Nehru
I am shaking my head, indicating its wrong
Nivedha: first or second
Me: now
Nivedha: Jayalalitha

I laughed and explained to her who is Jayalalitha and Manmohan Singh is our PM.Also, I explained her about the question difference asking first PM and the one i asked. Whenever someone asks generally you have to say the current one not the first or second. She nodded the head in disappointed and challenged me with a  question. She doesn't like being pointed out as wrong one, so she will always ask me a question so that she can outsmart me and also have a laugh at me saying "you don't know even this one, you are studying in college".

Nivedha: முன்றாவது தமிழ் செம்மொழி மாநாடு எது? (which is 3rd tamil conference?) ---( also note the way she asked the question)
She kept repeating asking again and again, forcing me to answer. I don't know the answer, so kept ignoring without answering. Then after her continuous pursuing , I answered thinking anyway it would have happened somewhere in tamilnadu.
Me: Tamilnadu
Nivedha: No, its coimbatore
Me: ok, coimbatore is in Tamilnadu
Nivedha: No.. Tamilnadu is country
Me: what? its a state in India
Nivedha: No, In tamil it's Tamilnadu and in english, its called India.

I laughed at her and hit in her head. I know the answer i said is not the correct one and she has every right to laught at me. We elders do act smartly with person who are less capable than us rather than it should be other way around. After that i explained to her that the question she is asked is wrong but she resisted initially and later accepted the mistake when her mom told. The conversation went on for some more time with more questions.

This post is not to show i am better or have a laugh at this conversation. We need to think, a child at 4th class doesn't even know how to answer simple questions when it is asked in other words than that her teacher written and taught her. You ask the questions in any way about TV serials like Thirumathi selvam, Thangam, Thenral and Chellama ( all are Sun tv tamil serials), she will tell the answers. So, what's the difference? where lies the mistake? we paid over 20000 rupees as fees for her but in return, she is not learning what is needed.

We Indians are seriously lagging in good teachers especially at primary levels. Nowadays Education is becoming more like a business where only brand names changes depending on the money we can afford not the quality. Its really sad to see her just mugging what is in the notes or book and writing that in exams without knowing the meaning. We can't blame teachers alone, parents have share in this. My sister always used to tell "she won't be like you, will be better" whenever i question the way she teach or question her girl ability. Off course even i want her like to be me but i just can't resist saying she is not getting better in knowledge for the money she is spending.

If there is a child in or around your home, just take a time to interact with her. Not to prove, you are better but to let her know simple things they need to know. Just tell them great man stories like Einstein, Abdul kalam and others to let her dream to be better.

"We need a visionary teachers not at high school level but at primary levels" - Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam

We had so many conversation like this, but i hope one day she can outsmart and laugh at me. I will be ashamed but will be proud at my heart.

Good morning to all , have a nice day and pray for better teachers

Ask this again and again

My life took complete turnaround by asking this questions. When i down and disappointed, when i needed motivation, when i needed a sting to hold on , when i needed a life to live... for all this answers i got questions. Its too easy to just enjoy the youngster life and move on later with family, but to think & think again in youngster life is difficult and a must one too.

What i am going to do for my parents? Is being able to like what they expect will bring them proud and joy? No, never!! I want to see my parents show their joy through tears by not able to keep intact with them. I want my parents to see what i achieved. So, for that i need to do something, something that gave joy and proud for everyone.How i want to be remembered? Born , living and die can be done by any living things in the world but living after you die is what the human beings are made for. What i did for my land, my nation and my people? Can my child be proud of me? because the moment the child think, i could have died instead born for you, all your life goes meaningless.

Sometimes youngster thinking and feeling like this are termed not known to live a life by others. Its true because they are going to live a life not known by others.

Vazhkaiya ippadithan vazhanum sollran paru - avana nambu
Vazhkaiya ippadiyum vazhalam kamikkiran paru- avanaiyum nambu
Ana vazhkaiya eppadi venalam vazhalam solluran paru - avana nambatha kayavana irrupathai vida uyirai vidalam

Just want to say what i had in my mind...take it if you like, teach me if you think its mistake and forgive me if i am wrong.

Good night!
