Once Mark Twain asserted ,the well reknowned author that he had never let his schooling interfere with his education. Similarly, rabindranath tagore once commented that the great task of education is not merely to collect facts but to know man and make oneself known to man.
What do all these remarks of scholars reflect about the education,the aim and the target is our education system as a whole. Today ,taking exclusively about our society, education is so much insisted on a child that it emerges as a burden on some young shoulders. They are not encouraged to have their ingenuity in other areas different from academics. Outcome is the talent as our sportsperson who lags behind in an international arena and most of the talent is subdued. The syllabus and methodology till 12th standard is facilitated only to mould our clerkish fortes only, which was the prime aim of britishers in India. Even the higher education system less technical universities, normal syllabus again is purely theoretical and a waste of infrastructure only.
If we recapitulate the prevailing education precess we can find the irking lack of some basic constituents of education . First area is the lack of pragmatic approach in basic schooling.
It has been said that education is what survives when what has been learnt is forgotten. This education in our young mind vanishes as soon as they pass from one class to other in the absence of the knowledge of its practical use.

This utilitarian way of reaching from an essential part of us or european education systems where projects fetch marks for students rather than written exams. This inculcates the will for self learning and incites their thinking process.
Next spot is relativity and significance of syllabus in one's life i.e one's interest and carrer.

Last but most important aspect is character building of our youth. Education ultimately teaches an individual to understand , firstly himself,then his society, and the fact that it is most important for him to adore andfollow the humanity and the moral values laid in his education because that is the only way to create a better and prosperous world.
These values should be imbibed deep in the heart of the citizens of a nation rather than their minds. To be able to gather the wealth for oneself is just a part of great education process the whole education process has become a part of process of becoming opulent. Ultimately, education has failed to teach the aim of life but it has been quelled as one of the requisite to achieve the opulence in one's life and thats why despite such a big industry of education every society is flogged with the increasing rate of crimes.
Industrilization of education system and its emergence as a profitable buisness has again facilitated its degeneration.
Reforms in education process entail a much more practical approach where a follow up of western education system will be beneficial. The whole education system including the higher education should be moulded according to these lines. There is an urgent need to take out education from the jaws of industrilization. Private investment in education system is required but government should ensure the delicate balance between sanctity of education process and its buisness. Priority should be the aim of education and it can be ensured by detailed regulation of syllabus and teaching methods.
We need to prepare a delicate mixture of modern technology and ancient social values if we wish to prosper like western world keeping along with our social integrity. As it has been said that eduacation is simply the soul of society as it passes from one generation to other but never dies.

Hiiiiiii everyone,it has been really long since i have written anything on the blog and many event have passed since then.....pop is after 10 days...even 10 days are looking so long....camp torna is over..my first experience what a war scenario looks like and how difficult is the adm and logistics area along with fighting a battle......we were at a hill spur near fort torna digging up defences and anticipating any enemy attack....practiced other battlecrafts and fieldcrafts and finally came the grand event 45 km long josh run.....for me it was a nice experience as i was the navigator and i was in control of the situation.....we devaited once but again took the correct path.....overall it boosted my confidence......
so three years of training at nda is about to over...what were used to amuse me in my junior terms ,now myself doing those things and in a better way.....so this really gives me a feeling of pride....
once one of my seniors remarked that a person transforms in nda but when he passes out he is the same person as he entered this place and i feel that this is very true , atleast in my case it is.
one of the most important lessons i have learnt is that leadership doesnt exists on papers and words but it is always on the ground.....so as an officer i should know what are the requisite of a situation in reality and how i can cater for them......and once again im more confident of my choice of arms and that is infantry......
thats all from my side today...
have a goodday..

alchemy in the dictionary is described as technique to change lead into gold......but if we assimilate it into our daily lives it will turn to be reaching the purest state of personslity from a normal one....it tells us that we r here to realize our dreams and our destiny and our true happiness lies in the pursuing the same....because then only we will be able to understand the forces working in the universe .....one will believe that many times when he had the full confidence and faith in himself he got whatsoever he wished......it is not the coincidence.....how our intituion works ....it is not a coincidence.....why some people be so lucky in their lives....they always succeed what they do.....this is also not a coincidence.....but it is the simple law of alchemy.....when u start believing urself, the whole world outside,and u know the true aim of ur life.......u will see that god really exists..nd he will help u to achieve those aims in life.....
i know their is magic attached to alchemy......magic to know the soul of god...magic to do extraordinary things.....but the explanation given above is the simplest and best way to do it....
it requires two things......1.if u have true love in ur life..thats ur soulpartner.
2.faith that god is in ur favour and belief in what ur heart tells u about the world....thats understanding the language of intiutions......u can say it the intelligence of heart.......
try to see alchemy in ur relations,job and everywhere....but it asks for a big cost...which is shattering ur ego and respecting every creation of the world as everything consists of god's soul...
im not some priest or philoshopher but i am the seeker of true logic and happiness...as someone has said when knowledge combines with emotions it gives birth to wisdom.....
This post is about x-country run in this january in which my squadron came 11th...myself ,i also didnt came ina good timing..i could have done much better easily but i got stuck in the crowd of back runners and just couldnt recover from it..but all these things and all kind of analysis are useless bcoz in the end results count.....but what went wrong,planning or the execution of that planning....or whatever efforts i put in as a x-country captain were not enough..
what i can make out is that i went wrong with the planning....what i planned and focussed more on was not enough..this time rules were differnt...allotment of marks were in a different way but i ignored that fact and so got the result....
people were quite motivated...most of them really put in well....actually it was the good runners of the sqn who couldnt come in their expected enclosures including me ...
behind lot especiaaly juniors did very well....i think we need more trg..there is a dearth of good runners in the sqn..okk it was my laSt run in nda....so no more concerns to it....

hiii everyone,
my exams are over and for next three days there is holiday...a sort of mini midterm break...
from many days i am thinking to start something new.life has been a bit busy and i feel i didnt utilise the time properly....last week i had a bit of arguement with my girlfriend.not so much...actually she is good at solving matters and much more patient than me and i love her for that.three more months are left in this academy and when i see that which is the most important thing which i have learned in these years,then i can say that this is the acceptence and comrehension of the fact that all people are not same and even if they are given a good advice ,many times they will take you for granted...so as my previous adjutant was used to say when you are in a thick shit dont make noise and keep shut....
most of the time this funda works and thats why i have become one of those who speaks less but im not an introvert...it is just that i speak only when i feel that the other person will respect my thoughts...i also dont like to act in a specific manner just to please others and become popular.one should have a courage to become different and go against the group if required,however in army this may be quite dangerous sometimes.
but there are some people who just cant act in a gentle manner..i cant understand why....just because by making fun of a chap who is saying against you one finds happiness or this is the protest of a group against any of its revolting member....
people want power without doing anything and when they are told the harsh reality they become arrogant....
in these cases it is better to laugh upon their foolhardiness....wise doesnt show their wisdom...
this week will also be a bit busy....service exams are coming ....i have to make a book review and many other things...
once Winston Churchill remarked-"oh you have enemies.its good as it means that you have stood for something" this one is quite inspiring....
