Can old practices be re-established?

It is my strong belief that in ancient and not more ancient(100 years ago or probably 30 years ago) times, our daily life was more active and valuable to society than today.

Practical Learning

Vinoba Bhave(A great saint and spiritual Guru of Mahatma Gandhi) has written: "We should learn while living the life. Now a days the situation has become such that people waste their most valuable time (early years of life) in school and then suddenly they are dropped in the struggle of life. Lord Krishna gave the lesson of Gita to Arjuna on the field of war, not gave lesson first in classroom and then went on war!" This tells a lot about current days' situation. We learn all subjects in school and college: Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, English, Hindi, Sanskrit. But if think honestly, it comes to know that we do not learn any skill to live our life. Only one exam to be eligible to give another exam. Not even a simple formula from math comes in my daily use. No lesson from Physics seems to be useful in my daily life. No chemical formula is useful enough which can tell me which medicine should I take or not. Biology did not throw light upon t...

Art and Daily Work in older days

There is a sense in me which tells me that world has not evolved in greater technology and life style but it is degraded in lifestyle and technology. Now a days every body tells that now technology is much developed, we can reach to others fast, we can talk to anybody sitting in any corner of world. But Why? Why do we need to talk to persons sitting in other corner, why not sitting besides me or living besides me? Our lifestyle has become so low and unsatisfied that we are unable to entertain ourselves. We are bored very often. We have TV, Computers, Internet etc. still we are bored. So we come to conclusion that these things can not entertain us for long time. Now I want to go a little back.  I have seen my mother and grandmother in my childhood, they were never bored, always busy in something, and even then got some leisure time. My statement may look contradictory, but if we try to understand it makes sense. There was some form of art involved in every daily work of the...

A list of my unlearnings

unlearning: 1. Schools are not the way for learning and education. We limit the learning place only to a small room and wihtout practical knowledge. There is whole world to learn. 2. We should learn things in parallel living daily life 3. People who shout and speak more, are most afraid people on earth 4. people, who try to be masters of others, have no knowledge 5. Children can learn faster than elders, if they are let free in their experiments 6. Parents try to enforce their failures on their children 7. Solitude and inner introspection can solve almost all problems 8. Physical work must be honored more than any other type of work 9. happines is not having facilities 10. we are now a days busy in useless things (Job, TV, shopping), so we are going far away from Art, music, and inner happiness 11. we can make all the things of daily use ourselves, but we have become so lazy that we depends on others for almost all the things 12. Money is nothing, we can live in communiti...
