  • Education or Competition

    Isn’t the purpose of education literacy and awakening of a well rounded individual?

    Then why does education even in formative years have to be about scores, grades and marksheets? Is a person synonymous with these or their personality? Does emotional intelligence and well rounded knowledge also account for an individual’s identity? 

    Scribbling or Creative writing?

    Well, yes in a developed world where the goal is to thrive, and no in a developing nation where the goal is to live and make ends meet. No wonder then that the aspirational class in India faces a dichotomous world, balancing their wants with what the society chooses for them. Today’s knowledge workers occasionally pause to think is this enough, where to next? But that’s momentary, the easier, noisier and popular way is to stay part of the race.

  • Hypercapitalism

    It’s the newest economic buzz word in town these days. After all not once but twice the strongest democracy has come to be helped by a capitalist, a businessman, an entrepreneur. 

    So are we to get accustomed to normalisation of greed? Are we to accept it’s correct to do resource accrual for its own sake? Or should we be woke and start leaning in towards a socialist mindset?

    Left, right, center is all relative. As long as growth and innovation gets fuelled by global trade and exchange of information, goods and services, I say these are exciting times. The opportunities that come with capitalism help balance out the supply demand equation of talent in lesser developed nations.

    The only watch out is to not let greed overtake harmony. It would be wonderful to see world problems of poverty, education and malnourishment being solved the ‘enterprise way’ as long as we don’t end up making irreversible damages to our ecosystem, our earth. 🌎
