It is 26 January, 2009 today. Our 60th republic day. The celebration in the school was short and sweet affair. The 10th class student solved their 1st paper of hindi. The progress of these guys have been good, especially the weaker ones. The weaker ones are not at fault. The fault is of their idiot teachers who groomed them the way they themselves were groomed by their idiot teachers who…..and so on….. the chain reaction. These were/are the people who chose/have chosen the teaching profession because they could not do anything else and this profession was/is helping to meet the ends. Anyway the story is going to be same till we make the profession more attractive “money-wise”. But hopefully not the “Satyam way”. Hey I just remember a funny poem forwarded by a dear friend of mine Dr. Shirisha Sathe…..
Raju…Raju….
Yes Papa…
Eating money….
No papa….
Telling lies….
No papa….
Open the balance sheet…
Ha ha ha…..
Another news from Nirmal is that the chief minister Dr. Y.S.R. Reddy is visiting Nirmal tomorrow. I often had heard the words especially in Doordarshan news,”Khabar milte hi prashasan harkat mein aayaa”. I have been actually experiencing these words since last 3-4 days. The road is being repaired. The government buildings are being painted with that typical brownish color. The town appears to have come to life. The roads are being policed by the force. I wish he visits Nirmal regularly.
As I am typing this post, I am also watching the marathi Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. It is 26 January special. I must confess that the kids who are singing the songs are the blessed ones. Pandit Hridaynaath Mangeshkar is the special guest. Parents of the martyrs have also come and its truly amazing to hear the stories of all those who have and are making our life safe in this country.
I am remembering the lyrics of the song which has now become my all time favourite and which had helped me to take the decision to return back….
Yeh jo des hai tera…
Swades hai tera…tuzhe hai pukaraa….
Yeh woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta….
