It's the time for education to enhance the children's world view and understand that there is so much beyond money, fame and power.

 - Today's education makes us look at the world through a key hole and limits us to it. We make all our major life decisions based on this limited perspective. We need to widen that keyhole for us and our children by providing them with the education that made the first generation of this caring world. With such a perspective, we can see more, know more and the possibility of growth is immense.. The urge for Money, fame, power comes out of that key hole. That's why our children like the career which can give money, fame, power. Like an example, you ask any child what they would like to become, they will say, Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, IAS, CA. And you will rarely see or do not see children mention, Artist, Nurse, Teacher, Social change Activist, climate change Activist etc. It's the time for education to enhance the children's world view and understand that there is so much beyond money, fame and power. That's true meaning of education.

Jaya Bachchan gives an emotional, sensical reply, “Why is it, I want to ask, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?”

 - Jaya Bachchan asks why Indian women are wearing more western clothes: We've accepted it gives that 'manpower' to a woman. “Why is it, I want to ask, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?”  Shweta, the daughter of Jaya Bachchan said, “Yes with the industrial revolution and when all the men went to war and women started working in factories. So they had to wear pants because you can't be doing heavy machine work with…”. This is the technical and need based situation when women started wearing men-clothes, but why do we think wearing of men-clothes makes women look powerful. Don't you think women are more powerful in their own way? We don't want western clothes to make our women feel empowered, powerful. Women are already powerful and respected. Jaya makes an emotional, sensical reply, she says in the conversation, "I feel what has happened is very unknowingly, we've accepted that the western clothing is more… it gives that manpower to a w

Children should come to believe that - *"I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed"*

- *Exclusion Culture* They bring nine chairs for ten children, and they tell the children that the winner is the one who gets the chair, and whoever remains without a chair is out of the game. Then they reduce the number of chairs each time and a child comes out every time. Until one child remains and he is declared the winner. The child learns the culture of “Myself, myself, and in order to succeed, I must remove others.” And in Japanese kindergartens, they play the game of chairs too And they also come with nine chairs for ten kids, with a difference That they tell the children that if one of you remains without a chair, everyone loses. All the children try to hug each other So that ten children can sit on nine chairs And then they reduce the number of chairs successively With the rule remaining that they must make sure that no one remains without a chair, or else they will all lose The child learns culture *"I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed"* *From Ex

Feeding the hungry and helping the poor and needy, without hurting the dignity:

 - *This is to create awareness regarding the problem of chronic hunger faced by the poor throughout the world. _A poor father accompanied by his daughter, steals some bread from a store. As soon as he turns to go, the shopkeeper stops him. The daughter unable to understand anxiously asks the father as to what had happened. The father worried and disturbed opens his lips to apologise, but he hears the shopkeeper speaking to his daughter “My dear child, your father had forgotten to take back the change”. He then counts and places some money in the hands of the father, as if nothing has happened. The father stepping out of the shop with head bowed down in remorse and helplessness hears a voice from a customer standing in the shop, silently witnessing the scene. “Brother you have also forgotten the bag of rice that you purchased, please take this.”_ *Feeding the hungry and helping the poor and needy, without hurting the dignity and self-esteem is a very great virtue in the sight of God, w

The invention of the school/college system:

-  Have you ever thought about why we have to send our children to school? Do we have the choice not to school our child? The school is considered so holy that there is no life without school. The school/college is more important than bread, butter, and water. Schools and colleges that we see today are the products of history. In the beginning, for hundreds of thousands of years, children educated themselves through self-directed play and exploration. There were no master plan buildings and closed cages (classrooms) as we see today or been in one of the cages ourselves. In relation to the biological history of us as humans, schools are very recent institutions or the factories of discipline (one of the synonyms of discipline is punishment). The meaning of discipline in English is ‘the practice of training people to obey rules and behave well’. The education system as we know it today is only about 200 years old. Before that, formal education was mostly reserved for the rich. But as ind
