Are You Busy?

Hey come on , don't be a spoil sport.A whole group is pleading to you to come to a movie.
Just 3 hours in a whole week , that's what they are demanding for.But you have other priorities that you have to complete, you have other expectations to meet and certainly you have other plans than your muckle of friends.
you consider yourself as a masochist who abstains himself from all the luxuries of life and to live a life in clover is like a crime for you. I will not say that you are wrong.
Infact you are totally acute as far as bookish morals are concerned.
Right from your childhood, you are inculcated with the feeling that "Kheloge kudoge to banoge kharab" .You enjoy playing but you have a notion that you are wasting your time.It happens with anybody, any child who has not completed his homework is treated like a criminal.Is doing homework is the only measure of one's sincerity ? Does class performance has no meaning at all? So, I was talking about your busy schedule.You are busy and you feel happy that you are not wasting any time. you think that you are learning alot when you are at work with all your senses focussed.But this the most precious time , you are selling for a meagre learning.
If you had spent all you childhood and adolescence in your classrooms and tutions, cramming notes, formualae , theories of astro physics. etc etc etc, How can you compete with a full grown adult who has spent his childhood at field, shouting to alto of human voice for a mere catch in a cricket field, or hustling with pals for possession of a footbal, who knows exactly what is the joy of a hard fought victory and the despair of a lost match? He knows how to handle pressure at different stages of life.
You can easily see such persons around you, whom you consider your role model and finds them victor in each area they have ventured. Go and Ask them, what is the joy of bunking a class? what is a general tadi? and he will start as an eloquent speakers who can speak at length on almost any issues relevant to this milky way.This is the difference you will find between him and you, You may beat him in a single area like getting any particular problem solved related to your area but start counting the fields where you stand no chance against him and you will find the counter running like a delhi's auto rickshaw meter.
Someone has said "Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives" . It takes a lot of ingrdients to make a delicious recipie , so how can a good personality be formed by pouring mere bookish knowledge. It has been an irony that we boast of indian culture and its values and shuns the basic teachings of our culture which teaches us that learning should be multi dimensional. World's first university at takshshila was under control of Chanakya and he stressed that students must spend 6 months of a year touring different parts of the planet and should summarize what they had learnt by meeting new people and visiting new places. Have you forgotten all these things? Oh I am sorry , I forgot that You are Busy. Are you really?
