The World is my Playground

अशोक और औरंगजेब  Ashoka and Aurangzeb  Very famous emperors who always thought they were INVINCIBLE. I might  not be so well read or learned but know the story of these two legends.  The former after many killings, high placement, reaching the pinnacle remained empty from within. The Great War of Kalinga he did win but lost himself before the weeping plight of innocent children and wives of soldiers who were killed in the battle. Thus he surrendered to bigger powers and transformed. Rest is history....  NO!!! His actual history was written thereafter. The Great Emperor dethroned  himself and became torchbearer of peace.....so, therefore even today  every house has    Ashoka tree, its leaves are considered pious and used in every pooja.   The latter power version, Aurangzeb continued using force. Forcefully converting any caste to Muslim. God loves love and peace but if peace is challenged one needs to follow principles of Gi...

Nashik Another solo trip, taken in month of December 2015. I usually say that I have stopped planning things, when you surrender yourself to the universe, it guides you. Now I move with short term goals in my hand… rest floating. Then HE takes the charge and will give you the BEST available. My dream of El-dorado too will come true.

The very next day I got gushes in my brain of taking the trip myself, it was perfect season, midweek, no rush and I could get to see the grapes hanging in vineyards, just like the danglers of a beautiful woman. From the economy side too it was right time to visit, a week prior to Christmas and icing on the cake was midweek, so I got a chance to grab a best deal. Quickly on the following day, I checked upon few good hotels, went to purcha...

Books in India!! Where is the focus? Gujarat is India Since late 90's, when I started teaching in Gujarat taking personal tutions I did used to spot erroneous books, served on the table just like a concoction, what actually we get as mocktails here ( prepare a glucose biscuits shake, or any other flavoured and coloured liquid loaded with sugar... and yes, this is the reality). Our taste buds have gone for a toss and similar is the case of our nuerons or the education sector.  The miniscule aspect of this is our books. They are our foundation, but the irony is that our growing market (market ..pls take a note) now just to compete, Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest, is coming up with their own course material. Looking at this material I thank my schooling which I started more than three decades ago in my home town Kanpur, also my Board ICSE, elaborate and detailed enough to set a strong base or foundation so that we exercise our nuerons more towards logical worko...
