Indian School of -----------?

-
        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
                   Be it astrology, astronomy, drawing, pottery to any hobby under the sun.
=> Indian School of Creativity
=> Indian School of Character building

Few certifications that these schools will be providing would be
+ Certificate of Devotion (Bhakti)
+ Certificate of Discipline
+ Certificate of Love
+ Certificate of Social service
+ Certificate of Meditation and Yoga
+ Certificate of ---------(your respective hobby)
+ Certificate of ---------(your respective creativity proved)
+ Certificate of ---------(your respective the character built and proved)
+ Certificate of ---------(your learnt activity and proved)
Please feel free to add more.

Outcomes from the school
 @ Physically fit with knowledge on how to tackle any adverse conditions 
 @ Mentally fit - expert in solving problems all by himself
 @ Character building
 @ Problem solver
  @ Learner for a life
Do you want to add more?   

       Don't tease me saying you will find such a school in your dreams. It might be a reality in the near future or might already exists which we don't know. Education system as of today is going to evolve to adapt these sooner or later. Believe me, it will.
         Learning is afterall so much fun and why should it be only the systematic way taught in today's schools. Lets make it more interesting.

    On a lighter side, we can call it "Indian School of speeches"....am sure the Radio City or Radio mirchi (or one of those FM channels used to broadcast this ad) listeners will understand the irony.

Aha...need more of sustainable villages and not AI

     I just happen to watch a good speech by Andrew Ng on youtube on AI & how it can empower businesses of any scale. Please watch it before you read my blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reUZRyXxUs4     All due respect to him, we don't need democratization of AI, but democratization of sustainable villages (like Auroville experimental village in India) as we are impacting the environment/natural resources in the name of AI. Humans don't need more education but rather less of it. We need more of wisdom & values than education.     Man is known for his 'constructive destruction' nature...and we call this as evolving. Being an Indian, I believe in ancient wisdom of ours. Even the bell curve applied to a human life tells us once you reach a certain height of gaining information or knowledge, the next step is to let go of it. After all, wisdom comes only with let go.     We are on the wrong path by giving aw...

Circus of thieves

I stumbled upon a instagram reel which was funny nevertheless had truth in it. Here it goes:  -  Dawood Ibrahim ran away after blasting bomb  -  Vijay Mallya ran away after taking loan  -  Nirav Modi ran away to London after diamond heist with around 11000 crore  - Police caught whom? The person without the helmet on roads. Isn't India one of the best places to live in. We see all the wonders of the world. Sunny Leone's name came in the college merit list for a B.A in Kolkata. Father cheats in Ludo, his daughter files complaint that it caused emotional stress and led her to lose her trust in her father. We enjoy everything in India from Golgappa Maggi to Chocolate Idlis to Mirinda Omlette.  But what we don't realize or rather even if we realize, we accept it as 'chalta hai' attitude in our system of justice. Most of Gen-Z Indian don't care of which politician is corrupt, as they are busy with their cool life and Entrepreneurial mindset of making m...

 Thanks to ChatGPT for the below content. Hail ChatGPT and myself for customisation :-) Hey coffee lovers!      Let’s take a little aromatic trip down memory lane and see how coffee became the soul-soothing, conversation-starting drink we all adore. In India, the story of coffee is as rich as its flavor—a blend of tradition, innovation, and some seriously cool modern vibes. So, grab your favorite brew and settle in as we explore coffee’s journey in India. A sip through History...       Believe it or not, India’s love affair with coffee started way back in the 17th century. Baba Budan, a Sufi saint, smuggled seven precious coffee beans from Yemen’s port of Mocha during his pilgrimage to Mecca. He planted these magical beans in the green, misty hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka. And guess what? That region still reigns as one of India’s top coffee hubs.       Fast forward to the British era, and coffee cultivation was booming under the East ...
