My Inspirational Thursday (28 April, 2016) started with reading this long post that came via Whats App and I found that post on web too.

The Future Just Ahead ~ This is the title of post.

Article alias Potshot alias Post (click the web link to read) is little long. But reading the post and investing time on reading (may be time & again) the post will not be waste.

Now this is my interpretation, my perception and my experience when I read the post for 3 times.

I would also like to congratulate to the blogger who categorically mentioned in title that he/she received this knowledge via Whats App and he/she is reproducing it as it is.

At my end too, I received the text via Whats App. After reading I started searching for this long post on Internet? I found the blogger web link.

This also means that the original creator and writer is unknown who wrote this long note.
This happens with many times.
When I read inspirational contents without any resource link? I make sincere efforts to find out the resource link and then only I share that inspirational post. It could be article, image, audio or video.
In many years (I don’t know when it started with me, at my end and when my sight sense +/- hearing sense started following this practice), I also experienced that my eyes are tuned to read subject line, first line of the post, middle line of the post and last of the post within no time and/or less time.
If these 4 lines inspires my sight sense via eyes and/or my hearing sense via ears when I was video or film or hear audio recording? I read the entire post word by word and line by line. I watch the video from start to finish. I hear the audio from start to finish.
While reading (or watching or hearing), I try to find triggering words, lines, etc. within the post, within image, within audio and within video and I write them on my daily journal using pencil (first) and/or by pen (second). They are my inspirational spots.
Once I write them! Those words and/or line creates tremendous energy within my body.
They increase my morale and hopes.
Increased in energy, morale & hope, inspire my fingers to click “write new story” button available on “Medium” web platform and that’s how the article alias post alias potshot takes birth.
Sharing this SOP (standard operating procedure) with the reader of this post.
Reader of this post may use it as it is in his/her life and/or with modification in case and if he/she is having any trouble on how to start writing.
Point to be noted ~ Loud, Bold and Fearless
I was not born as a writer, reader, observer, listener, cook, tailor, musical instrument player, drawing student, social server, care taker, male nurse, driver and what not
In fact I was born with no skills, no training, no speaking or communication skills, no language, etc.
I had no name (first), middle name and surname too.
I call all of them as attributes or properties offered to me by my parents.
I was born without religion, cast or sub cast attributes. I was informed about it by my parents, grand parents and people around.
People around (my parents and countless relatives around 100++) me injected many properties on me (and for me and on my thinking) like color of skin, color of eyes, hair type, height, width, mother tongue, relative types, etc.
Fact of the life is I was born out of pure fun.
When I was born I was innocent, neat, clean & hygienic.
Say like a clean slate.
My basic and bare minimum needs or demands were very simple namely breath 24/7, sleep when I felt, get up when I felt, drink when I was thirsty, eat when I was hungry, pee whenever and wherever when pee was out of my control & poo whenever and wherever when it was out my control.
Rest all (whatever I know as of today) and everything was given to me by people around. Let’s call it mankind society.
So today if I’m good, bad, ugly, absurd, intelligent, dumb, learned, unlearned, literate, illiterate, humble, arrogant, soft spoken, louder, bold, shy, weak, etc. person (all these words + meaning is man made)! Entire credit or debit (again man made words) goes to mankind society (who were + who are part of my journey so far) around, books that I read (time & again since they inspired my sight sense) and films + drama that I saw (time & again since they inspired my sight sense & hearing sense) and countless people to whom I met and observed them with details across India.
From day one I had only few things to do. Here I am talking about after completion of 365 days or more after my birth which happened on 1st January.
I was doing only few things on my own.
Laugh, cry and play.
I heard it from My Creator alias Producer alias Designer and i.e.माझी आई. Means My Mother when I asked her about it.
One day My Creator alias Designer alias Producer and i.e.माझी आई. Means My Mother decided and admitted me in to some Rani Laxmibai Bal Wadi (Balwadi means prep or pre nursery school) school near by our home.
And then? I got disconnected with laugh, cry & play activity.
I started the journey of (so called) education (primary school, secondary school, higher secondary school & then college) and this journey forced me (and not inspired me) to do many things (wanted and unwanted) in my life. I was never ever interested to do all of them.
Today when I look back and when I ask this question to myself what I did and why I did it?
I think reason is very simple.
First : I was helpless and I was not self independent. In fact I had no knowledge about help, helpless, dependent and independent.
Second: I was dependent on my parents.
I call that situation as parasite on my parents (the way I was parasite when I was growing up day by day in my mother’s uterus). In Marathi language parasite is called asबांडगूळ. I was not able to think on my own and I was not able to take decision. In fact thinking and decision itself were unknown to me.
So I listened to people around (including my parents, grand parents, uncle’s, aunt and dozens of elderly relatives and obey their orders.
I was knowing very well. Not obeying orders means no food, no water, no bath, no pee, no poo, no place to sleep and no cloths to ware.
Basic and bare minimum needs of every mankind.
By the time I finished My Diploma level course! I was fully corrupted on thinking front. I was forced to become biased person.
Child within my entire body and childishness in my thinking was royally and systematically killed by absurd education. My creativity & my enthusiasm was killed and raped royally.
And that too by taking hard earned money from my father.
He was poor at that time and he is poor today.
He is simple and humble.
He is strong head person.
And all this mess (so called education journey from Balwadi to Completion of Diploma) for what?
So that I earn money, save money and spend money.
Then I get married and I earn more them, I save for them, I spend for them and in the journey my wife produce kids too.
Post to that I do the same thing for my kids the way my father did it for me and for my sister.
I also heard (from My Mother) that I had one more brother after my birth. I don’t remember. His name was Arun. He died after 6 months after his birth. Lucky fellow.
In due course of time and life journey I lost complete trust and faith in Indian education system (I can only talk about Indian education since I am born in India and I was forced to learn in India) since I do not agree with the goal, with the target and with the mission of Indian Education System and i.e. To Earn, To Spend, To Save, To Get Married, To Produce kids, To feed kids, To help them to get married, to help them to produce more kids, etc.
Education For Fun
Education For Passion.
Education For Humanity.
Education For Compassion.
Education for Education.
Education for Creativity.
Education for Design
Education for Empathy and Sympathy.
Education for Upbringing and Uplifting Fellow Citizen or Society.
Education for Research
Education to Care and to Nurse Weak and Ill people around.
Education for Peace
Education for Agriculture
Education to become better human daily.
Education for no war
Education To Understand Nature and Nature’s Law.
Education To Understand Earth.
Education to Understand Universe and Universe’s Laws.
Education To Understand Water and Perseverance of Water.
Education To Understand Food and Perseverance of Food.
Education To Love & Respect.
Education To Serve.
All above components are missing in the current education system and that is why I keep reading books (so that I can learn + unlearn + relearn & become unbiased), reading articles, observing people around, hearing and meeting inspirational people, watching classic films, watching training video’s and above all, visiting and spending time with nature to find out the lost soul of entire mankind society.
Best regards,
Phadke
