Education is Evolution



These 9 words “Education” do not mean what it should be. Everyone misinterprets it except the few great writers or educationists. Though many of them have said big things about education, various authorities/departments/educationists trying to bring a revolution in the education industry bringing a more practical approach but it's not happening to a larger extent.

Students today are still striving to get the best of the marks or ranks and that's because wherever you go, there is a boundary line of only 60 plus, only rank holders, etc. I may be sounding the same as what is shown in our favorite movie 3 IDIOTS "don't run after success, run after excellence and success will be yours” and yet another good one stressing the same fact was “ FALTU”. After watching such movies we all agree that education is not just mugging up information but your core intelligence which needs to be given a good direction let it be in any field of your choice!

Once I was having a discussion with an educationist (not by profession but by experience; Courtesy: CEO of an ERP solution providing company) regarding the same facts and was impressed by his thoughts. Education is an evolution of your mind and not just becoming a pile of information.  The information may help you to get through exams, qualify for the toughest of entrance exams but that can never make you a strategic decision-maker because it involves not only the knowledge or information but your intelligence as well as emotional quotient (EQ). Now a good question arises that what is this intelligence that all of us keep stressing. Though it sounds to be abstract, it's researched that it can be measured in terms of IQ(Intelligence Quotient) which few people opine that it's hereditary. Intelligence is the combination of reactions occurring in your neurons. It is actually how you respond to a situation. It is something that will involve the information/knowledge possessed by you and based on your emotional stability, help you to reach a decision. How correct that decision is what intelligence decides.

Though many professional courses emphasize the case-study-based curriculum wherein the individuals analyze the situation and conclude but its use is still very little. Why can't we have such pedagogy at the school level? We need to evolve minds and not load them with data. Evolution not only of your mind but an evolution of your capabilities, skills, talents as well as physical evolution is also what is necessary. This will redefine the word “Education”!

Are we gender biased when we always expect male member or fathers to be the first in the 'responsibility list'?

The word 'man' or 'father' sounds so heavy that it automatically builds up  an image of a person who should be the most responsible member of the family especially living in the patriarchal society of our country.   Do they have a choice? No, a man doesn't have choices. In most of the families around, a woman may choose not to work or be bound to do so but a man has to go out to arrange for the daily bread and butter. Whatever position they may be holding in their job, from a clerk to a CEO, they learn to lead, manage and create a balance! They make sure that not only the needs but the wishes of the family members are fulfilled at every point in time. T o bring smiles to your faces, they buy the best for you and cut short their desires. No, money is not the reason for cutting but it's their concern to give it away first to you. They think about fulfilling your wish list first and keep their own at the end. They are ok to wear that same shirt again to...

Happy Daughter's Day

  A daughter is like a beautiful melody that brings harmony to a family. From the moment she is born, there is something special about the bond. It is a relationship woven with care, trust, and understanding. She is a reflection of her parents’ hopes, dreams, and fears, yet she forges her own path with strength and grace. As she grows, the challenges of the world begin to touch her, yet her resilience shines through. She learns, she stumbles, she rises again—each time with more courage, more wisdom. Watching a daughter navigate life’s complexities is a LESSON in itself! She teaches patience, compassion, and the beauty of seeing life through a heart that feels deeply.  For parents, there is nothing more bittersweet than watching their daughter spread her wings. She may fly far, chasing her own dreams, but her roots remain strong in the love she was raised with. Whether she is near or far, she carries pieces of her parents with her—the values, lessons, and love that shaped her i...
