Let Your Wards Pursue Whatever They Like...... And Believe Me They Might End Up Doing Nothing At All !!

It is often said, actually it is said again and again and again that children's career must not be forced upon them by their parents aspirations, that they must not be pressurized to pursue the path their parents or society or their peer group or their teachers 'think' appropriate for them. And that their young minds should be allowed to flourish without any bounds and that their interest in any field they are good at must be encouraged instead of forcing them to run the rat race for marks and undergraduate colleges and post graduate colleges that would kill the talent within them....

But, do the proponents of the above theory realise the percentage of the section of society who would actually be benefited by such a culture??? Do they also realise the number of students who DO NOT fall within this category of ' pursuing their interests and making a career out of it' or ' being given the choice to pursue their talent which would do them greater good than the rush for marks' ??? Are the proponents of the above theory living in the real world?? Come on guys, get real, see the conditions around you.. Do you really think that if all the school kids are given absolute freedom to pursue whatever they like, they won't just while away their time pursuing things out of which no 'career' can be made.. That, if no rules of marks or ranks or grades based on syllabus exist, they would still be making constructive use of their time..And that if education does not include making them aware of what the world runs on, sciences, arts, mathematics, computers,biology, law by 'forcing' upon them these subjects through their years in schools and college , they would ever choose to dive into these sensible , lucrative career paths which not only the economy of the country but also personal intellect demands.... Don't get me wrong , I am not talking about the one in a thousand exceptional child who can easily be recognised by his/her parents , teachers, peers and should be allowed to pursue his talent , excel in the same and make an exceptional life out of it. I am talking about the common junta like you and me. I am talking about people like us who have no concrete goal ahead of us ( how much ever we claim to fulfilling so-called goals 10 years down the line in various application forms and interviews :D) . How many youngsters in school and college actually know what to do if not for the everyday tasks that their course demands and How many of them would do ANYHTING useful if given a even a semester off from forced syllabi ?? Come on , Realistically hardly anyone would.. Say whatever about the rat race , it is at least giving a means of livelihood to millions around the world.

The exceptional lot would still be able to do what they've always wanted to because they are exceptional , the rest would only be left behind in the rat race if no guidance is forced upon them, practically , rationally and generally speaking...

Why I Believe That ALL people Are Basically Good Deep Inside

Ever considered looking beyond what is evident from a persons untoward actions... Ever considered what might have triggered someone's rudeness, what might be behind someone's irritable behaviour, behind someone's repeated selfish actions, behind someone's irrational views, behind someone's shrewd ways, behind someone's negative vibes, behind someone's hatred towards society, systems, nature or simply behind someone's repulsive personality.....

No, it is not their character that I have the right to comment upon , nor do I have the right to comment upon what they did in circumstances I was not a witness to... All I shall comment upon is the fragility of the human heart... No person would ever 'love', in the true sense of the word, to behave in ways cited above. It must have been the circumstances surrounding them that made them what they are at this moment... An inherent , maybe irrational insecurity, a rational one to them perhaps, a rude shock in their lifestyles, loss of a loved one, a crumbled ego, financially disrupted childhood, emotional setback..... An appeal to all who read this, believe in the goodness of the human heart, please believe in giving benefit of doubt to all those you encounter, to all those who may have been rude to you, or cheated you if you would still like to put it that way and for God sake do believe in the basic goodness of mankind and the compassion he holds in his heart, a compassion which is often bound by convergent forces of ego and insecurity...

Lawfully Yours

Ever wondered why decisions of one court are often overruled by the other? Or why a same court decides differently on similar case facts of cases appearing before it in different points in time? It isn't merely a question of law that judges presiding over similar cases differ on... Also coming into play are innumerable unstated factors, factors which cannot for obvious reasons be stated. Some of these legislations were intended as 'beneficial' pieces of law like the Workmen's Compensation Act so that the economically weaker section of the society wouldn't suffer in case of accident and being rendered incapacitated for work by the virtue of the very fact that they chose to serve the organization. Take for example a workman cycling to the workplace hit by the company truck dies on spot but is not covered under the Act because his accident wasn't "in the course of employment" ... Another case where a workman was't awarded compensation merely because the judge interpreted the organization wasn't covered by the Act because it had fewer employees than required by the law.. Doesn't seem all that beneficial , does it ?? Plenty of reasons/ explanations are given supporting the judgements, overruling the previous one on the premise of different case facts although on the face value the case fact don't much differ. Sometimes the court behaves too generously,some other times the judgements appear ridiculous to the workers' right activists. What we fail to understand is the ideology of the judge , the circumstances which are not explicitly stated in the law books come into play, for instance if a judge considers ruling in favour of the workman , directing the employer to pay him a sum of 3 lakh INR , what would happen to the small entrepreneur who s running a firm of 8 workers (lesser than reqd. by law) , would he be able to follow the order without going bankrupt , what would the rest of the 7 workers go for a living. It then starts making sense for the court to rule in the favour of the employer giving reasons other than those mentioned above. While giving a generous judgement, the judge could inherently consider the number of dependant the workman has and their standard of living. Such reasons can often never be made public for the basic reason that fingers would be raised on grounds of prejudice , deviating form the rules of Law.. But all the same , it must be understood , all cases depend a lot more than bare case facts or rules of Law , they are more about human compassion in dire circumstances...
