Job: The Rat Race

Again and again, it has always come to my mind that why I am in this race? I never ever wanted to be into this. Still every morning I wake up, I see my self running in the same heard with almost similar speed. Nothing gets changed. Even when I start the day with all of my zeal I come with the same grief and sorrow by midnight or may be late evening. My dear friends this is not just story of mine. This is the story of 70 crore Indians who are debris of English/East India Company Education system followed since the times of Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay. And such a pity, that we feel pride in being part of this debris. 

We know it well that how deep are the effects of different prejudices and presumptions. If written all together it would go up to a series on halo effect, stereo typing. Belief system is a kind of control or mechanism which can handle / impact our Super Genie (sub-conscious mind).This strategy of East Indian Education system was to eliminate / weaken our belief not from our systems but from our selves. And it happened, again and again. The paradigm Shift was such that even best of the world practices being practiced in India started seeming useless. The respect had changed into disrespect. 

Although this education system produced a large number of clerks / followers who got initial benefits in the terms of jobs, kind etc. But for long run it was loss of generations and migration of generations from native thought process to the western one. People some times wonder how withing 60-70 years such a big brain drain has happened? But I believe this started way back 200 years when the pavement of east India Education system had been started keeping all the strategies in mind. 

Covid-19 has brought us to a juncture where we may sit and analyze both and choose one. In last 2 months we have been able to live our lives with almost 25% communication, 50% resources and 35% activities. Even without all the materialistic leisure we have been able to sustain our lives and that too very close to near and dear ones. Three cheers to the God for making us learn such a hard but important lesson of life.
