Slave

Few generation before land used to be synonymous with power.
The more the land a person possessed, the more powerful he was.  Because the land could be put to many uses. Agriculture, shelter, and what not!
And those were the days of barter system.
People would rent their lands for various uses.
But times have changed since then. Times have changed. Education has changed it. The flow of knowledge today has never been like this in the past. It has shaped the world around us. The key to success and enlightenment in theses days is education. There has been enormous growth and development due to it. It has provided mankind with various occupations and a whole new lifestyle.
Humankind has more comfort and a better understanding of things. This is a different Era.
But even in times like this, there are many for whom education is an unaffordable luxury.
The world's poor. They don't have enough money to get into proper institutions. And it's not their fault. Education has been commercialized. Gone are the days when Guru's tutored children in the Ashrams(kind of residential schooling of today). And we are obviously past those days. But the point is to educate the masses. Spreading the knowledge for a better future of our race.
Gone are the days of kings and kingdoms. The slaves they captured in the wars. But the war has not ended. Only the enemy has changed.
The real war is against poverty, lack of education, irrational beliefs that are holding various societies from the light of the new Sun.
And many are slaves to the darkness. They can be freed by the radical thoughts and plans by the riches. It's the only way for the growth of humanity in the right direction.
And "Until Each Man is Free we ALL ARE SLAVES"

Pigeons

Amidst this ever-changing weather, they are the only ones who keep coming back. Wanted to get rid of them eventually but they have become a part of our life which has stuck over the years when many left and lost touch. Their presence is no longer a pain. They feel familiar. As usual, they have found a place in our house for themselves to hammer their tents and continue the cycle of life. The same spot at which they always strive to make a nest. They will breed the new ones and the children will grow up and eventually fly away. Leading their own lives, forgetting the hand that fed them. They will then join the finite marathon of life. It’s this very strange behaviour that perplexes me. Most of the animals have a lifelong intertwined sense of family and attachment. But they seem to follow some different concept of life. They are different than the most. I wonder if their petit body accommodates’s a heart inside! Maybe it does. Maybe that’s why they have a ...

Wavering Mind

There is a reason why we call the thing inside our skull, as Mind. Because as the word suggests, it is under control. That’s the actual difference between a mind and a brain. A brain is not controlled, not streamlined, wild, though full of ideas and imaginations, but also with conflicting issues. It is like an untamed horse. It runs where it wants, when it wants, with who it wants. And as the world around us suggests, one should always stay in control. That’s why we train our brains to be under control. How? Well it has the very clichéd answer. Through education. With years and years of education and training we TRY to control the one thing that possesses a great power. Some succeed and some don’t. But what if the same process which is used to tame the wild horse becomes the reason for it to become more wild? What to do then? In the current scenario, according to many wise men, we are in a race. A race to reach our destinations. To achieve our goals. To fulfil our dreams. Educat...
