Education – What????

I am not starting a debate here….no way. But I have thought several times, what's the best medium of education? Schools – No, Colleges/Universities – No, certainly NOT.

I would always say TRAVEL (henceforth expressed as T) is the best medium of education. As I said earlier, am not here to debate, this is my perception. The minute one hears the word TRAVEL, it kind of sends in a positive vibration, sets a mood, and calms the mind (well trust me – it does). Having said that T has its style and forms. Irrespective of your mode of T, or destination, or duration, there is always something to learn from every travel, mostly defined as experiences, I call it education.

New people we meet, new cultures we encounter, and different types of food we taste, and when I say food, there is always a custom and style related to food.  Talking and staying with strangers, enjoying a drink and meal with them, living like them for a day, exploring their place as they do………the list goes on, all of them are different experiences we enrich (oops sorry – education)

Personally, every time I am done with a trip – I always feel a change, there is a kind of change in the way I approach scenarios, the way I communicate and perceive things, a kind of self-realization?? I don’t know if “matured” is a heavy word, but the change is good, most welcomed, and positive.

One gets a sense of independence and responsibility during the T. The traveler takes bold decisions, calculated risks, and achieves benchmarks during the course. So can I mention here that TRAVEL is directly connected to MANAGEMENT (top or bottom of the pyramid, well don’t ask me). Guess this is why our predecessors have mentioned that practical knowledge is always a step ahead of theoretical know-how. But the saddest part is – it's short-lived. Which means there is always a trigger to plan the next T.

I suddenly feel low at the level of my education…….. it's time, maybe 

H I G H T I M E ………….. I have planned my next TRAVEL ………….see you all!!

V I R U S - 2020

Until March 2020, the word "CORONA" always gave a smile to a lot of people, thinking of the beer with a dash of lemon. But....things changed post the news from Wuhan about this deadly virus, it became pandemic and the scariest one till date. (to the best of my knowledge) 

Millions of people affected, lots of lives lost in spite of medical advancements and research. Lots and lots homeless. This scenario just left everyone blank and there was absolutely no reaction time. At this toughest phase, great efforts have been taken by the countries across the globe to stop this spread and cure the affected ones. I thank the DOCTORS, NURSES, PARAMEDICAL for their impeccable service and gesture, these people haven't visited their homes for days together, they stick to their job to save and protect us. A big SALUTE fellow citizens. OUR biggest return gift to them is by staying at our respective homes and not stepping out. Lets together fight this corona out of this world.

Prayers for a speedy recovery for the infected people. RIP for the departed souls. . . .
