Blog me...curiosity redefined

    Yesterday I wanted to buy a casual T-shirt that I can wear at home and went to the usual brand Jockey (yes, am guilty for not promoting local). I was shown various colors but what stood out was prominently 3 colors - green (fluorescent you can say), yellow (desert sun as they promote it) and orange rust (or saffron to be precise as per Indian context).  I had a green so did not want to repeat it, so I choose orange. Due to obvious reasons(COVID-19) trial of the T-shirt was not allowed in the shop, so I came back to home for trial. On wearing it did I realize that the how localized Jockey has been in terms of color....saffron has been a traditional Hindu color. Saffron is now being promoted as color of 'Hindutva', thou I don't want to politicize my blog on the color context.

Here is a short story I wrote for " Workplace discrimination based on Gender diversity" but did not provide it to my professor as I selected my colleague's work.

        What is it that education should teach us? Is it creativity or learning or both? Or is it the art of learning things quickly and with focus? Or is it just concentration like Swami Vivekananda taught us? Is it the character building to help us succeed in the real life? I will leave the thought for you to answer.          My question is can we find such a school today? At the end of the day, what are we producing, a bunch of craps? Should the character building be the foundation of any education system? I would prefer an old style Gurukul to learn than this system. Imagine each student getting an expertise as per his interests and inclination, just like Arjuna and Bheema learnt bow/arrow and gada (or mace) in Mahabharatha.          Here are few of my wishes, yeah quite interestingly odd enough => Indian School of Learning => Indian School of Hobbies                 ...

Do listen to them and transform yourself. I love them.  P.S.      Video songs link courtesy - Youtube respective channels.
