Gauge of Language


    Language is a necessary thing for communication. Without it we couldn’t imagine anything in real world. Communication is important in any field.
Suddenly by reading these lines this question may pop into our minds : “Which language?”

        Finding answer to this question, many problems have started. Considering all countries, each country has its own language. More than that we can say that they have one common language. If this is the case then no need to worry, because difference in opinion of language doesn’t occur.

    But for country like India, they speak different language depending on the region they are living in. India has many provinces/states. Each state has its own language. We also see many clashes due to language. If this is the case, then ‘unity in diversity’ concept is already ruined.
     Let us go back some decades ago, when British had their total influence on India. I like to quote “Even after British left us, English didn’t leave”. British planted a seed called English in Indian minds which is a boon and also curse at the same time.
   
    Yesterday I was travelling in train from my native place; I met a typical Indian family having around 6 members. As usual that family were packed with parents, grandparents, beautiful daughter and a younger brother for her. They were basically from chikmagaluru. Elders and that girl interacted very well. But after some time, mother of that cute little boy started blaming her son for his English. She was like “All his classmates are speaking English quite well. But he is not. He can’t even be a topper. If this continues he will suffer a lot and he will not have bright future. Etc!!”.

   I was fed up by hearing those blaming from her. Because when we went to school no one forced us or pressurized us to speak in English. We learnt by ourselves. I was feeling bad for him. I couldn’t further resist her blaming, so I said her “English is not necessary at that level, he will learn by his own during the course of time. Let him have his freedom to explore how good he is.”
Later that girl also agreed to my point.


    This is not just the case of that boy. So many parents think in that manner. Until those parents mindset changes, we can’t do anything. So I think before educating children, it is necessary to educate their parents about these things.
Learn with interest & passion and not with pressure.

ಗಾವೋ ವಿಶ್ವಸ್ಯ ಮಾತರಃ

        ಗಾವೋ ವಿಶ್ವಸ್ಯ ಮಾತರಃ ಎಂದರೆ ಈ ಜಗತ್ತಿಗೆ ಗೋವು ತಾಯಿ ಇದ್ದಂತೆ. ಸರಳ, ಮೂಕ ಮತ್ತು ಉಪಯುಕ್ತ ವಾದ ಜೀವಿ. ನಾವು ಎಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರೀತಿ ತೋರಿಸ್ತಿವೋ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೀರಿದ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ನಮಗೆ  ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದರ ಹಾಲು ಎಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಕಾರಿ ಎಂದರೆ ಅದಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಮ್ಮ ದಿನನಿತ್ಯ ಆಹಾರ ಪದ್ಧತಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.   ನಾವು ತಿನ್ನುವ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಸಿಹಿ ಪದಾರ್ಥಗಳು ಹಾಲಿಲ್ಲದೆ ತಯಾರಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಹಾಲನ್ನು ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಡೈರಿ ಫಾರ್ಮ ಗಳ ಸಂಕಷ್ಟ ಯಾರಿಗೂ ತಿಳಿದಿಲ್ಲ . ಅವರಿಗೆ ಆಗುವ ನಷ್ಟ ಅಷ್ಟಿಷ್ಟಲ್ಲ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಬರಿಕೆ ಮಾಡದೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಅವರಿಗೂ ಉಳಿಗಾಲವಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಂತಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗಿದೆ.       ಮೊನ್ನೆ ತಾನೆ ಸಾಗರದ ಸಮೀಪದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಒಂದು ಡೈರಿ ಫಾರ್ಮ್ ಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ಎದುರಿಸುವ ಸವಾಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟರು. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂದಾಜು 300 ದನಗಳು ಇದ್ದವು. ಸುಮಾರಷ್ಟು ಹೈಬ್ರಿಡ್ ತಳಿಗಳು. ಉಳಿದವು ಮಲ್ನಾಡ್ ಗಿಡ್ಡ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅಂದಾಜು 600 ಲೀಟರ್ ಹಾಲು ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ. ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ದನದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ 200 ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಯಿಸಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. 300 ದನಕ್ಕೆ  ಅಂದಾಜು 60,000 ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳು. ಪ್ರತಿ ಲೀಟರ್ ಗು ಅಬ್ಬಬ್ಬಾ ಅಂದರೆ 40 ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸೋಣ. ಹಂಗಾದ್ರೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಬರೋದು  24000 ರ...

CA$H-less!

We are in digital age, where most of the daily task are carried out by 0's and 1's. Even cell phones have been evolved into smart phones from past decade. The smartness of these cell phones helped us to step into digital age.  I remember when these UPI transaction was not in the picture, we used to visit nearest ATM to withdraw cash and then rush into some general stores to get change. It was very difficult to get smaller denominations for shopkeepers, when some one gave ₹500 for small tea. Especially, shopkeepers used to give chocolates for the remaining smaller amount of money.  If ATM runs out of money, then we are doomed. Oh Gosh! Now we can't even think life without UPI transaction. Somehow we can say that these kind of small problems has been solved using UPI transaction or digital transaction. I totally agree with this and was thinking in the same way. Ah! This is our mindset. To be honest, I only realized when I started spending my salary. This U...

Blog for the day!

If I ask "What's the data plan of everyone?" 1 Gigs+ per day!  If I ask what will you do with that... I know there are lot of answers. It starts from chatting to never ending list. Now a days, most of the friendship starts with these technologies. During our childhood, a friendship can start from being together in childhood days. It can also start from sharing 25 paisa chocolate. It can also start with sharing lunch. It can also start from being bench mates in school. It can also start with scolding each other (most of the boys can relate this). After when we got these damn cell phones, friendship started and was dependent on cheap call rate and SMS. The validity lasted until 500 SMS/day or currency! Then these benefits got reduced  slowly! Some friendship was not bothered with technology or depend on it. There was no requirement of calling everyone to play or chill out. Our instinct pulled us at a common place to chill out or play cricket. Most ...
