Quite astonishing to see the way life changes so fast and so dramatic. " School" used to remind us of a room with wooden tables and desks, a middle aged teacher with a cane, a black board with some works of chalk. The mental muscle memory still has the fragrance of the chalk and the chalk dust which fell on our uniform when clearing the board. The work we used to do for teacher's day and other national holidays. Dressing up then was white and white.Lazy bums (like me) polishing their shoes early in the morning, coloring their shoes with the chalk dust..Those are the memories which perhaps the kids of this age wouldn't know of. The modern ages have brought so much of technology into the classroom..there is hardly any use of the blackboard and the CANE. Is this what development is? If that's true ..what has the technological advancement brought into man's life? Insomnia, overweight, new cancers, restless souls, lifeless bodies, ever lasting drinking habits?
Is life what we make out of it or is the way it is?
Analytically speaking, if life is what we make it, what do we know of it to make of it? Do we know what's the next minute all about? End of the day, struggle for existence and survival of the fittest have just taken a new form in the modern ages leaving the minds blank and a tendency to run behind a mirage..To run until we realize that it's not the end. We pass it on like the Olympic torch from one person to another, one generation to another..adding polythene to the mother earth, carbon monoxide to the father air and we feeding on them.
Serene, sound and silent sleep is what we need. How do we get that when we are so occupied, when our lungs are filled with so much of LPG converts, when our foreheads are frowned even if the eyes are closed..
This is the modernization of the earth which gives no room to modernization of thoughts. When there is no thought development, I wonder how will there be a change in the way Human race can develop. Isn't thought supposed to be the seed of deed? If we can't think without a materialistic attachment, how is that a thought development?
I wonder...
