What am I ??

When restlesness sweeps into mind ...
random thoughts make u crazy.....
u crave for imagination rather than reality....
u become a poet...
a poet born from imagination...
a poet who lives in imagination...
but no where a writer in real......
coz u never know what reality is...
what am i now???

Right to Education

"Better build school rooms for "the boys" than cells and gibbets for "the man" "


It seems like our government has taken this very seriously...
Surprised at the sight of the main headlines in the newspaper today."Right of children to free and compulsory education" (RTE Act 2009) -A Fundamental right now..A great day with a great news..But at that instance so many questions rolled on in my mind...
Why did our government realise it this lately??? Is it not the basic right of every child???How is government going to achieve this???What about the quality of education its going to provide???

I heard lots of stories from my father who is a school teacher about his students and the hardships they go through..They work a whole day in cotton fields and get 25 Rs for picking up 1kg cotton...How much cotton makes 1 kg?? But this is the work which earns them food for a day..There are many girls who are married at early age and dropped out from school..If this is the case in one village,what about whole India??

If this act is enforced strictly atleast some children get benefitted in near future...Government cannot just get children into schools without providing their family an alternate livelihood...It is good that our government atleast now realised the root cause for y our country is still in developing mode-the lack of primary school education...

Anyways better late than never...Hope this act will not just be on papers and proper steps will be taken to enlighten our treasure today's children who are our future citizens :)
