IITian and Rickshawala....

There were two rickshaw-walas vying for our business when we wanted to go to Sankat-Mochan temple in Benaras. I agreed to go with the one who was about 20, seemed like a regular young rickshawala, but I found something interesting about this fellow in his eyes. I was not proved wrong.

He wanted Rs 50, we said Rs 30. We settled for 40. Here are the highlights of the conversation that ensued while he rode the rickshaw:

"aap kahan se aaye hain"
"Delhi"
"bijness ya kaam karte hain?"
"naukri karte hain"
"kismein"
"internet mein"
"humara bhi kuch wahin kaam lagwa do"

I just chuckled

"main try kar raha hoon engineering padhne kee. achchi naukri lag jaayegi tab"
"achcha?" I asked a little interested.

"haan, Delhi mein Guru Gobind Singh Indraprashta University mein engineering ke liye apply kara hai. achchi hai who university?"

"haan, achchi hai", I agreed.
"haan, kal hee maine JEE bhi diya"
"JEE matlab, IIT ka?"

"haan, Joint Entrance Examination" he pronounced it perfectly just to make it clear to me what JEE stood for. "mushkil hota hai exam?"

"haan, 2 saal toh log padhte hee hain uske liye, asaan nahin hai" I carried on the conversation.
"Delhi mein Akaash coaching institute hain na?"
"haan, hai."
"aapne kya padhai kari?"

"main engineer hoon, aur phir mba bhi kiya"
"kahan se engineer?"
"IIT delhi se"

He swung back, surprised, a little delighted, and smiled. "Ok, aapke liye Rs 30"

Swati and I laughed.

Swati asked "padhai kab karte they IIT ke liye"
"bas, rickshaw chalaane ke baad raat mein".

Then he added "kismein engineering kari aapne?"
"Chemical"
"toh aapki chemistry toh badi strong hogi"
"nahin, aisa nahin hai"

He continued, "yeh bataiye....jab Mendeleev ne Periodic Table banaya tha tab kitne elements they usmein?"
Now it was my turn to get surprised. He was quizzing me. I said "shayad 70-80."
"no, 63", he said sharply. "kaunse element kee electro-negativity highest hai?"

Swati was laughing, and I didn't try too hard and said, "pata nahin."
 
"Flourine", he said confidently.

Without a break he asked,"kaunse element kee electron affinity highest hoti hai?"
Now I was laughing too and said, "nahin pata"

"Chlorine. toh aapka kaunsa subject strong tha?", clearly having proven that my chemistry wasn't a strong point.

"Physics", I said

"achha, Newton's second law of motion kya hai"

I knew this one I thought, "F=ma" I said.

"Physics is not about formula, it is understanding concept!" he reprimanded me in near perfect English. "Tell me in statement."

I was shocked. Swati continued to laugh.

I said "ok, Newtons second law, er....was...."

" 'was' nahin, 'is'! Second law abhi bhi hai!" he snapped at my use of 'was.'

Surely, my physics wasn't impressing him either.

"yaad nahin, I said"

"Force on an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object", he said it in near perfect English. "aapne Mtech nahin kiya?"

"nahin, mba kiya"

"mba waale toh sirf paisa kamana chahte hain, kaam nahin karte"

"nahin, aisa nahin hai, paisa kamaane ke liye kaam karna padta hai"

He said "arrey, rehene do" or some words to that effect. He didn't think too highly of me apparently anymore.

In a minute we reached our destination. We got off and I told him that he must and should definitely study more, and that I think he is sharp as hell.

He took only Rs 30, smiled and began to leave.

I got my camera out and said "Raju, ek photo leta hoon tumhari".

He waved me off, dismissed the idea and rode off before I could say anything more.... leaving me feeling high and dry like a spurned lover. Damn, what a ride that was!

India is changing, and changing fast!
.

POINT TO THINK :
.
.
CHILDREN (YOUNG INDIA) WHO DON'T "LOVE" TO "SPEND" THEIR TIME
TO HELP THEIR PARENTS PRETENDING THEY DON'T HAVE TIME
SHOULD RETHINK WHETHER THEY ARE
"HONEST"
ABOUT THEIR TIME ?

.

(NOT  JUST ASKING ABOUT STUDIES
- THE "QUALITY" OF STUDY IS ALREADY KNOWN TO ALL;
PROVED FROM ABOVE SHARING ALSO )

.

FINAL STROKE :

.

ASK  PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS

(ESPECIALLY OF COMMERCE STREAM);

.

HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU  STUDY  REGULARLY IN A DAY?

.

IS IT 6 HOURS?

.

IF NOT;

 

WHETHER YOUR  CLAIM THAT  YOU ARE STUDENT;

IS VALID?

Great Story

I wish it is a  true story, In school I have read a story about king Bhoj where he asked a wood cutter in sanskrit that kim bharam badhayte ( if load of wood is troubling him ). To surprise of king wood cutter corrects him , load is not bothering  him it is his wrong sentence that is troubling him.

That was our level of intelligence once upon a time.This Rickshha pullar boy reminds me of that period. This is identity of india. where Knowledge is give supreme place and Brahmin though poor in all our stories is always called pandit ji.

I can feel slowly we are awakening. After a long time I have read this type of inspiring story. 

Any way Banaras is seat of knowledge. No surprise if this great man happens to be there. You can still sense some seeds of a great civilaztions by just talking to people of that area for few minutes.

This case is also a reply to people who advocate reservation. or who blame to their circumstances like no conductive environment, no proper guidance, or rural back ground

If you have desire there is no hurdle that can stop you.

Regards

Without spending SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF HOURS in a professional course; TRUE LEARNING WILL BE MISSED.

.

Just to pass the exams doesn't have  that much value which many think.

( Live Example : many fresh CAs are in search of employment).

.

Please read the contents once again with anlytical way and you will find that the guy was not having BOOK KNOWLEDGE. He himself has questioned the book knowledge of  so-called "brilliant" student. ( Students pursuing professional courses are known as "brilliant" students - may be; may not be ).

He  learned  the things by HEART. 

.

Most of the students don't know for WHAT SAKE THEY ARE STUDYING.

( Education does not mean to find employment - although in the whole society this misconception prevails ).

Dear Sir

 

That rickshaw puller guy was at ease with his study. he was enjoying or cherishing what ever knowledge he has attained. he was having a child like innocence of a small town india. I liked that.

Secondly for unemployment in C.A Course, I think no professional get sets in first day. C.A gets restless when they compare themselves with M.B.A and engineers they are not profession. M.B.A is a business diploma to manage people , How people are managed  you know you have to deploy management agenda with fair and unfair means .These agenda is not most of time employee friendly so you need to be extra smart with low level of consciousness. 

when C.A Students will start themselves comparing with Advocates, Doctors then they could judge how long a professional journey is. The Top is so high only few can scale that though each climber has C.A degree, Every advocate can not be a Ram Jethmalani and not every doctor can be Naresh Trehan. That need hours and hours of continue practice to get that kind of perfection to be called as Master of his field , it takes times.

I think CPT is the root cause of frustration of the unemployed C.A , C.A was a post graduate course and to compare it with campus placement of engineers  annoys them , because in engineering you have to study to the point of admission to engineering college there after it is easy road. till preparation for I.A.S or M.B.A.

Now I am concluding those who have choosen this road of freedom should be read to pay the high price of freedom named C.A. Fruit which ripe slowly is always sweeter.

Regards
