Jo Jita Wahi Sikandar … Nice motivational thought, injected to my mind by movies, internet and my Education System. But Sikandar also known as Alexander, known for his zeal for conquering world, once came to India and met Mahrishi Kalyan. Communication of Kalyan rishi with Alexander was awesome. He took a skin of deer and pressed it with his feet on one edge and then on the other. Now what happened, when Rishi Ji was pressing one edge of the dry skin, the other edge was moving upwards and vice versa. He told that to win, sikandar has to stand in between, other wise other ends of his kingdom will revolt against him. He asked him that his desire to Conquer world is futile, wandering on earth, he will be nowhere. To win, he should conquer his desire to win, and that could be the only way. In similar way Lord Krishna asked Arjuna to win his thoughts & emotions to win the Maha Yudha against Adharma. So that best way to start the journey of win, is human mind. Become a conquerer of own thoughts, habits and behavior and start dharma yudh.
I have seen lot of people saying “I was born intelligent, but education ruined me” on social networking websites like Orkut and Facebook. But i was always wondering why people use these words. How can an education system ruin a person. Education always improves the quality of life, the way to live life in a better way. But is there anything which is ruining us. Lets understand it in technical way. Suppose i want to transfer data from my computer to some friend who is sitting on another computer on internet. Now lets consider source computer as S and destination computer as D. Now data is traveled in the form of small units called packets. Each packet flow from S to D through number of layers. Now packet is generated at my end S, when i perform some activity on my keyboard. In the similar way, child takes birth and then moves further in life from childhood to old age through various layers. Now let us discuss these layers. Packet starts its journey from application layer, then as it moves further, it is encapsulated or trapped with transport, network, data and physical layers. In the similar way child is covered with layers like Parental Habits, Education System in School, Education system in college, Television, Newspaper and Internet. The layers of Family,neighbourhood, School, College, Media Environment are actually responsible for every activity we perform in our daily life. My daily activities are result of Environments in which i lived and grew up. The data packet is ready to move out of my computer to internet. And all the headers attached to it will protect it from any tampering that can happen while moving to destination D. The job of headers is to protect the packet from external environment and hence let it reach to D perfectly. The nature of packet flow is controlled by the mechanisms used in the form of various layers of OSI model. In the similar way the nature of person, is controlled by the mechanism used to nurture his mind and soul while he was growing. Now if my packet is facing any problem, or issue while traveling to destination, there is fault in the mechanism i have used to encapsulate it. Now if i want to control the behavior of my packet, i need books written by the researcher of that packet. After having access to the book, i will give it to my researchers and ask them to summarize me the points by which i can control this data packet. As points are no more secret for me, i will implement those points in my OSI model and customize OSI model such that i should get the benefit. If i consider myself as data packet, the term “benefit” here means my secure and enjoyable journey from S to D. Now as i am the controller of OSI model, there is no way for a packet to make decisions and change its path, even if he understands that the actually meaning of D is destruction, instead of Destination. The view which is returned by model, is the view i want, the view i programmed in my MVC architecture or OSI model. Now the packet can say that “He was born intelligent, but OSI ruined him”…. because the OSI was the result of leakage that was done by the researcher of culture of packet.
The right way to reduce our dependency on medicines is to start our day with cycling. Buy a cycle worth Rs. 1500 approx and then analyse distance you are covering daily to reach your office. If the distance covered is less than 4 Kms, you can prefer getting up early in the morning, taking bath, breakfast and then getting ready to travel on foot in lovely cool morning. If distance is more than than 4 Kms, or upto 8 Kms, then you can use cheaper and environmental friendly medium called Bicycle. And if you are traveling to areas more than 10 Kms, then there are cool DTC buses, Air Conditioned Metro available from Govt. of Delhi. So if you are not comfortable in doing above things, just stop looking and thinking about what people say kyonki, sabse badaa rog, kya kahenge log. Turn off your mind and turn on your action. Try carpooling to make our city a better place to survive. Just Try Try and Try and you will see the miracle.
