INDIA IN 2060: How things have changed

 

2060: HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED

My neighbor is very happy today. He distributed all the strawberries of his home garden. His only son has successfully qualified the masters of Edaphology. The study of soil and stuff, you know. He is going to earn a lot. Work in the agriculture department has evolved in recent times. Students dream of a flourishing career in the field of agricultural science. In my time, there was a great craze for the engineering and medical stream. Students taking these streams were considered more intelligent and studious. For some, it was a matter of family prestige. The charm of learning coding and artificial intelligence was increasing. Apart from this, teachers and counselors were trying to burst myth about the false valor of science stream and encouraging students to choose a stream what fits their goal and interests.

When I compare education and society back in 2015 and now, I am flabbergasted. The education system has totally changed. People do things that suit their interests. The environment of fear regarding education that once existed has subsided to a great extent. Kids around me aspire to be bakers, artists, rock stars, farmers, gardeners, bloggers, writers and so. One could never proudly say that they wished to be a baker during my time. One could feel proud in mentioning that he was good at these kinds of stuff or rather these were his/her passion but would hardly think of making it their profession. I guess people have now realized that in life as small as 65-70 years, they ought to be happy in whichever field they are rather than running behind money.

 The most surprising thing of all is that the farmers today are richer than most of general engineers. Today India has got so many engineers that they are jobless. Most of them have switched professions and have become farmers. We never expected this to happen but it’s damn true. The profession of farm management is fast gaining fame. In fact, the agriculture industry has tremendously evolved with dream jobs. People get the opportunity to live in original fresh oxygen for free and also get to eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables while at work. Who does not want it today? Everything is modernized. Machines are used to do all sorts of ploughing, sowing, harvesting, threshing, and so on. The farm managers or farmers wear suits and shirts like businessmen. This thought however jolting is true.

Today people wish to live in villages among the plants and trees but hardly there are any such villages left. Air filters have taken place with air conditioners. People today spend more money on fresh fruits and vegetables than on outside junk. People prefer walking over driving a car. I will now have to switch on the air filters, it is becoming almost suffocating. I had never imagined such things to happen and often wonder, “How things have changed”.

The bystander world on the Taliban insurgency

 It is not only Afghanistan’s government that has surrendered to the insurgency of the Taliban but also the world and humanity have succumbed to the influence of these terrorists. What could be worse than the world being a quiet spectator of the devastation taking place in an entire nation in the twenty-first century? What are the Human Rights organizations doing when it’s time for them to show their presence? The lives of more than 38 million Afghani men and women are in dismay. Their trepidation is evident in the grisly pictures and videos from the Kabul Airport where people could be seen falling to death after they clung to the underbelly of a plane in a desperate attempt to leave their country.  The countries in the world are busy closing their embassies and safely evacuating people from Afghanistan. Some countries accepting Afghanis, as refugees in their county, is a welcome step. However, it is not about a few lakhs of refugees who could take shelter in different parts o...

Discipline misunderstood

What if the salt law was never broken? What if Mangal Pandey behaved like a disciplined sepoy and used the greased cartriges, introduced by the British, without hesitation? Would there be a revolt for our freedom then? I wonder the answer to these questions. Every great uprising was a result of some brave ideas, thoughts, and visions put forward by independent thinkers. May it be our own Indian past or the American revolution. The king, the government or the monarch, whoever it may be  in the dominant position always try to discipline their people. And the sole reason behind this that the powerful always try to keep a strong hold over their subject. This strong hold will only be possible if the people blindly obey their leaders. This is for the reason schools, offices, workplaces maintains a fix set of rules and disciplines. This discipline , which is necessary for proper functioning of the institution,  also tends to create a divide between its management and fellow students ...

The Gen Z bag

Studying in an extravagant coaching center in Connaught Place, Delhi may not have been very beneficial in giving desired output in my competitive examination but it proved to be an overall different and fun experience. I am someone who likes to observe things and traveling from a low-budget Pg in Laxmi Nagar to the posh business and tourist area every day gave me the chance to observe. Observation is not a one-day thing, but you do it over a period of time and it is when you notice stark differences in the character and habits of people from different backgrounds.  It was our first day of coaching and the first-day anxiety prevails. The shyness, sitting quietly and just observing faces, ice-breaking with your first bench mate, and the overly boosting first-day enthusiasm to emerge the brightest among all. The classroom setup was different from what I expected it to be. Taking admission in Delhi, I expected the coaching to be thronged with Delhites but apparently, it was the UP and ...
