Another hot and sunny day today. In fact, the whole summer was the same in chennai. Lucky enough to be a SW engr, and to be spending most of the day time at work place. Still, we do feel the heat when we go out for lunch. We try to avoid our food court lunch to explore other restaurants' food. Having explored most of the eat outs near our work place, sometimes we try our own canteen food. But today, I asked my colleague WHY DONT WE have our lunch at ANDHRA MESS, that we did not go for a long time. For which he immediately agreed and we started to walk. We both know that the food there will be really good than our canteen's. And we usually avoid the MESS, thinking we would eat a lot over there and that affects our diet. :P Somehow, today I managed to convince him. We both had lots of expectations as we usually do. To surprise us, the lunch was not good at all. We did not have much to enoy over there. We paid for the lunch, which was not expensive at all and walked back to work place.
On the way back, though it was so hot and sunny, My lunch partner had a crazy imagination. He said WHAT IF THE WHOLE WORLD ENDS IN A FEW DAYS? He went on adding, if thats the case he would love to live for some extra hours and look how does it look when everyone is dead and all the things are just gone. As I was with him, :P he added on saying, it would be nice if few known people are with him. LOL... He started worrying, what will we do for other stuffs. We gotto re invent stuffs like electronics, electricals and he was worried about all other day to day things that we gotto go and search for. He said, we gotto keep sharing information that we know, share our talents and discoveries that we make in the dead world. So that, the next generation would take it from us. He said, a lot has to be taught to the new generation. He also made a honest point. "Being a triple E student, I have no idea about any electrical and electronic stuffs nowadays" . I thought, thats what software has done to us. We dont know what we learnt, we know what we gotto learn next for the next project we gonna get in. :D
And it was a very short walk, and we reached our work place and felt great with the change in temperature inside the work place. I simply could not stop my imagination though my friend had stopped his. This guy wanted to give transition to the next generation so that the world would be a better place. However, I wanted a list of things that I would not educate them about so that the world would be a much better place...
I would not teach how to bribe and how to ask for bribe. I cant help if they learn themselves. But, atleast the place would be a better one until they learn themselves.
I would not teach how to cheat others for food.
I would not teach how to earn ones' bread without working hard.
I would not tell them that there was something called BEGGING in India and other so called developing countries.
I would not teach them to say NO when someone really seeks help. I would not make any one feel jealous of others as well. And the list goes on like a politician's promise while campaigning.
I know, You reading minds would be thinking that I have gone crazy... I know, there were few stereo type dialogues in the above mentioned list. But my question is, why do we think about what can be done to make that new generation to have a better world. WHY DONT WE realise that there are a lot more to be added in NOT - TO - TEACH list, than that of WHAT - TO - TEACH list. I guess, the new world would be a better place if we dont teach anything. New world would not know many evil things that we knew and excelled during our lives.
What ya guys say??? Am I not correct?
