When I am tree


When I am tree 
Molecules will disintegrate
Congregate and integrate the chance
Somewhere in deep earth or hilltop
Or in some rotting matter
It will break out and reach for the sky
I feel the rush of xylems and phloems
Burst into leaves and flowers
Sense the sun, raindrops, and breeze
Pattern the world in my sway

Agnipath scheme is the need of hour

The Defence force of the country is not a charity initiative nor an employment guarantee scheme. Indeed, nor is the government. Ideally the government is elected to frame policy and implement for the betterment of the society. They are expected to provide the wherewithal for education system to nurture young minds, health infrastructure to provide basic health and nutrition and investment in all the avenues for citizens to progress into better people. Which also means having an efficient and effective defence forces to protect the democratic nation. Agnipath scheme is well thought out. It can be reviewed after few years as the need maybe. As of know it is apt.        

Employment is not for government to create. Few centuries back people used to find their own job depending on their need, aspirations and skills. That is how it should be. Progressive societies prospered while primitive societies like India suffered hence couldn’t contribute much to humanity despite its vast population. The idea of job is exaggerated by feudal corporates and spread by market influenced education system that churn out herds, ably supported by religion, rabidly panting for money, position and power. Ideally education is expected to create self-aware individuals. Self-awareness increases the connection with reality hence means and intent to respond to the arising need/challenge that one would like to respond to. This then creates skills as it suits. Government therefore must invest in all the avenues to nurture all sort of skills. Internet has created a connected world for knowledge and skills to spread. The idea of education has nothing to do with goals hence marks and examinations doesn’t really make sense. Education is about creating awareness and exploring possibilities through inquisitive mind. Skills creates searing eye to probe but presence is what that gives it value. There is no presence when life is capsulated in goals. It is not about fish’s eye but awareness of fish, the world. A self-aware human will never aim for fish’s eye. Despite high skills his or her presence does not allow skill to be narrowed down to crass. That is aesthetic. Its an indelible mark of humanity.                   

Meanwhile there should be zero tolerance to vandalism. Each and every one who vandalizes the public property must be tracked, identified and face exemplary punishment. Also, it must be thoroughly checked whether the vandalizers were instigated by controllers. Many a times these vandalizing herd are only pawn in the sinister game.
