ज़िन्दगी की सीख

By
यह मौत ही तो जीने की वजह देती है,
कम्भक्त ज़िन्दगी तो चैन से मरने भी नही देगी,

ज़माने ने हमेशा यह सिखाया की ज़िंदा कैसे रहना है,
पर यह नही बताया की ज़िन्दगी को जीना कैसे है।

Wisdom & Knowledge - Chapter 2 : Saving Food; Saving Lives

One of the biggest questions we need to be asked today is “ Do I have the sole right on the usage of a resource just because I can afford it? ” Subconsciously most of us feel – Yes, why not. Now allow me to rephrase “ Does my ability to afford something give me the right to waste it? ” In most cases we don’t even realise how unknowingly we sometimes forget the importance yet scarcity of many things just because we have an easy access to them. Say single side used paper, you can use it for rough work, self-notes, a compost or to an artistic mind as an art project. But a problem bigger than this is food. Ironically, despite being a self-sufficient country with enough production to fulfil the demands of 1.3 billion, nearly 1 in  every 8 person sleeps hungry each night . I am not saying here that you are the cause for it, but the fact that you have the power to be a part of the solution (not the homogeneous mixture of two or more substances). Nearly 25% of food goes to waste even befor...

As a child I had an idea, that education had the power to change everything, you make people aware of a problem in our system and they would work towards solving it. It wasn’t until later that my bubble broke and I was forced to ask the question “ Does knowledge make you wise? ” Contrary to my belief: No. Yes knowledge is one of the greatest tools mankind has been blessed with, the knowledge to read, use tools, develop technologies and what not have brought humanity a long way from where we stood years ago and that’s changing exponentially even today. But we forgot something else we read on our books: the right to equality for all, the right to choose, sustainable development, non-renewable resources to name a few. That’s where wisdom kicks in. Knowledge can make aware; its information whereas wisdom is using that knowledge to make a decision that would serve a goal. It’s same as the difference between a technology being there and the invention which ultimately used the technology. ...

Story telling as an art is as old as the human civilization itself; through cave paintings, our mythological books and of course through recitation. Each generation has used it as a medium to share their life learnings and experiences. We as an individual cannot possibly experience everything ourself to incorporate the lessons accompanied, hence the importance for making sure we extract the knowledge we can from stories.  One such story book which was full of thought-provoking anecdotes I read as a kid was "Aesop's Fable" . It had a story I would like to share from it covers an aspect of human emotion which deserves a space in our life but fading somewhere i.e., gentleness . "The North Wind and the Sun" One fine day, the North Wind and Sun had an argument on who was stronger among them. As they disputed, they saw a traveler passing by wearing a cloak. They reached an agreement that whoever could strip the traveler of its cloak was the stronger. The wind sent out...
