Dear Sister, Thankyou for being in my life

 

Dear Sister,

As Rakshabandhan dawns upon us once again, my heart swells with a flood of memories, and I find myself traversing the corridors of time back to our cherished childhood. From the days of innocence when we shared our dreams under the same roof to the moments that have woven the tapestry of our lives, you have been a constant source of love, support, and unwavering companionship.

Do you remember those carefree summer afternoons when we used to chase butterflies in the garden? The laughter that echoed through the house as we concocted imaginative tales, and the secret hideouts we built together, they are all etched in my heart. Each thread of these memories forms a bond that time cannot fade.

From sharing our tiffin boxes at school to facing the world's challenges side by side, you've been more than a sister; you've been a confidante, a partner in crime, and my pillar of strength. Through all the ups and downs, your unwavering belief in me has lifted me up even in my darkest hours. Your unconditional love has been my guiding light.

As I stand at this juncture of life, I am filled with gratitude for every single precious moment we've shared. The late-night conversations, the giggles over silly jokes, and even the occasional squabbles have shaped our relationship into an unbreakable bond. Your presence has been a blessing, a constant reminder that no matter how rough the seas of life get, there's a safe harbor in your embrace.

On this Rakshabandhan, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, dear sister. Thank you for being the most wonderful part of my life's journey. Thank you for believing in me when I had doubts, for cheering me on when I needed courage, and for holding my hand when I faltered. You are not just a sister, but a treasure I hold dearer than life itself.

As we tie another rakhi this year, let it symbolize the unbreakable bond that time and distance cannot diminish. Let it remind us of the love, care, and affection we've shared, and the promise to continue walking this beautiful journey hand in hand.

Happy Rakshabandhan, dear sister. May our bond continue to shine as a beacon of love and companionship.

With all my love,

Inder Singh Thakur

Irony of Indian Education System

The Irony of India's Education System

This article critically analyzes the Indian education system, arguing that despite its large and well-defined structure, it falls short in providing quality education that truly prepares students for the professional world. The author highlights several key flaws:

• Rote Learning Over Understanding: The system rewards students who memorize facts over those who genuinely understand concepts, as exemplified by a scene from the movie "3 Idiots."

• Outdated Curriculum: The syllabus is slow to be updated, resulting in students learning obsolete information that is no longer relevant in today's world.

• Flawed Evaluation: The examination system primarily tests a student's ability to recall information rather than their analytical and problem-solving skills, leading to a generation of "qualified" but unemployed youth.

• Call for Change: The author concludes that while systemic changes are needed, teachers and students can make a difference by prioritizing understanding and application of concepts over simple memorization.

भारतीय शिक्षा प्रणाली की विडंबना

भारत में प्राचीन काल में, छात्र गुरुकुलों में जाते थे जहां वे अपने शिक्षकों (गुरु) के साथ रहते थे और अध्ययन करते थे। शिक्षक उन्हें सबक देते हैं और काम का अभ्यास करते हैं। घर-काम की कोई अवधारणा नहीं थी। छात्रों को अपनी पाठ्य पुस्तकों में कुछ लिखने की आवश्यकता नहीं है, बल्कि उन्हें अवधारणा को समझना और याद रखना था। हम अपनी होली की किताबों और पवित्र साहित्य में अनगिनत संदर्भ पा सकते हैं, जो कहते हैं कि छात्र शिक्षा की अवधि के लिए शिक्षक के साथ रहे। समय बीतने के साथ, हमारी शिक्षा प्रणाली ने गुरुकुलों को विद्यालयों (स्कूल), महाविद्यालय (कॉलेज) और विश्वविद्यालय (विश्वविद्यालय) में परिवर्तित कर दिया।
