So, on the 10th of July I put myself a goal to complete DLD notes by 14th of July. It is not achieved. From 11th to 18th I managed to binge all 12 seasons of two and half men.
So today, I climbed to the roof of my house where we had a leakage in the tank pipe. Anyhow, it is damaged beyond repair and needs a replacement. :(
Morning there was some issue with my PC disc and got fixed by windows update. Then on I have surfed through ThePrint. Very interesting topics, thoughts and yes it's salient feature of putting forward the facts. Liberals getting divided, china narrative story centers, ECs appointment process, china's funny business in the world dynamics, scientific and political things.
I have an interest in tracking what is happening in politics. So, yes PurePolitics with Shanker Arnimesh is a good listen for me. Explained the 3 plot story in rajasthan going on nicely. But today what made me write is a discussion by SpeakIn with Prof. Dinesh Singh. He made an interesting interpretation of education: it is a journey within and that we all have a drumbeat of the soul "anthardhwani", the challenge is to find what is your anthardhwani. Finding one is just the first step. And being educated means to walk in harmony with this drumbeat in the real world. The more you march with that the more you discover yourself and the more you discover yourself the more you are educated. He gave examples like srinivasa ramanujan's anthardhwani was mathematics, sachin's was cricket, gandhiji's was the satya(truth). And they pursued this with the exclusion of everything else.
In times of crisis be brave and let the crisis take it's own course, it will eventually leave. Stay calm, stay focused and with "dheeraj"(bravery) we should acquire the persona of dheer buddhi. "What will change you is what you allow to change you. Nothing else will change you."
If you have the curiosity and the drive "jigynasa" within you, you can get educated by yourself. The guru is right there sitting on the web "Harnessing the power of web like a guru". You just have to be patient and
Web is a universe of knowledge. There is good and bad in web just like in the real world. So, we should use our discerning mind "vivekam" to decide what is good for you and what is not. Even when the ocean is churned sagar mathan not all good things came there was poison also. So we have to leave the poison aside and take the good things. Web is a huge resource, so churn it.
First we need to see various things that stimulate you and make your drumbeat speak out. Then you know what it is. Example, gandhi from satya harishchandra, sachin from his watching someone play cricket, ramanujan receiving a foreign mathematician book that inspired him to take up math.
We should be thinkers and learners for life. It is a two way process. Needs and challenges of the world stimulates the mind of a student and they acquire that knowledge which he/she feel is necessary to apply and solve the problem and in this process the student begins to get educated.
This discussion was very revelant and close to my stage of life right now. So, thought why not make a notes of it.
Good night.
