Dream School! But for whom? Me or We

Two children dreamt of their schools. The first one dreamt... a lovely school, with a beautiful garden whose fragnance lights up the entire school, has air-conditioned classrooms, buses, olympic-size swimming pool, a laptop per child and a lot more... he dreamt of an school that utopian for the rest but highly affordable for him and a few of his family and friends. He was satisfied!Another child dreamt of a school- ... a small school not that big nor too small, having good facilities though not lavish, good classes, teachers and he dreamt of such a school for all the children irrespective of the background- financial or social, that they came from. He was willing!Making you a God for a Day or atleast the Education Minister of India atleast because this decision making post can indeed be touted as one of the mighty positions- one whom we can look upto for a better India - Whose dream are you most likely to grant? Before, we enter into the Dream School '09 the day after tomorrow, this is one thing we all must have very clear in our minds.Before, you choose either of the one- a maxim to go by- 'India does not live in its Six Metropolitans but in its Six Lakh Villages.' And for it to develop, India must develop its Six lakh villages with special impetus than just flaunting its metropolitans.Off course! One does wish to grant the wish of the second child - ... a school and for all. We need to talk about it seriously amongst us, our friends and wherever we get a chance to put it up. We don't need Five-Star schools, a normal school with minimum basic facilities would do- but it must be inclusive not exclusive. Talking about the kind of school we want and want for all- our government schools are the ones we can look upto and for this the government needs to ensure the quality in government school and one would be happy to send their children to government-run schools. If there are some of you sitting and wondering - Government Schools??? then, one must take your attention to the premier institutions IITs and IIMs where you spend so-so much of money to get your children in- then why not here, Sir/Mam? The day, our government schools shape up and infact shape up well, that will be the day when we can proudly say- we are on the path of development. Let us talk of inclusive schools not exclusive schools!

Your Life is for What?

Every human being is an animal as we all know. But our rishi muni has given us knowledge by which we can make our life a little better!
They have taught us how to stand and walk? when and what to eat and when to not? what to do or not? yoga and all etc.... etc.....
And we (so called human being) forgetting our rishi munis or teachers are justgoing ahead in our life without thinking a moment that where to go and why.
Is earning money is the only motto?
Did our ancters also taught us the way of life, for money only?

The Anser is clearly NO!

Then what is for we r doing all these things?

The answer to same question is different for different people but the most intresting thing is that, Maximum no. of people don't realize it! and another part of it realize it but then when time is gone! and very lil part realize it on time and we know them as winners!

Believe it's not on our hand to realize that for what we have been made and in today scenario it has been more difficult due to the pressure of being able to make a lot of money!

But friends try this thing...
Just for a minute think that u r the god's man and close ur eyes to realize ur motto, forgetting all world including your parents!

Try these all things for a minute only and feel the change!
If u do not feel anything then try it againg later but with more concentration! coz One day will come when the same world will change for you and you will feel endless energy for your work.

Clearly better schooling facilities are the need of the day.But a dream school doesn't only mean the one which is endowed with all the luxuries which are afforded by few but we need those kind of schools which can provide quality education to all and that doesn't necessarily be filled with luxuries.
