The Art of Learning

When I reflect back on my life, I can view vast lands of learning and unlearning. Success and failure are not even visible to my naked eye. All those grades and exams were indeed cornerstones of stress, anxiety and learning. But, The yields of the land are based on the foundation of lifelong learning. 

If I have tell something to young learners today, I will ask them to focus on the desire for learning and unlearning. Exams and assessments are part and parcel of one's learning journey. I have been raised on a crops of examination and have been asked to look at my surroundings comprising of harvests of marks and distinctions. An enigma is created in the mind of an average learner. The learner is perplexed, bamboozled, and petrified. What is it that I am doing wrong?, asks the learner. His surrounding folks remind him of the huge lacuna that engulfs him/her. The learner is reminded of not the learning, but of the yielding of results and medals. 

The learner need to endure all of this. The learner has cull the necessary perseverance to keep on walking in his/her own pace. until the learner can find his/her own niche,

                                                  the learner must continue to walk.

More to follow, on my reflections on learning.

3 Years-A Passage of Time

I have been wondering...what was i doing three years ago? I was still completing my masters'. I had an illusory idea (which was pretty strong then) that i would be working in the advertising industry. I had studied enough, i thought.

I was all geared-up for my role in the workforce, earning my living like some of my friends. I had forgotten that i was more comfortable in academics, or being a student of literature.

The idea of changing the paradigm of my reality was creating a tsunami of thoughts in my mind.

I jumped.

Within a fortnight, i felt like a fish out of the water, or more precisely, a hippopotamus outside a water. I withdrew.

I ended-up studying, in the classroom. Inhale.

The rest of the three years passed smoothly with some unforeseen discoveries. I withstood, i lived.

I swam across the seas and built my dreams on sands. Three years just flew by.

But i lived my life, I am Adan.

I look to see where ill be 3 years down the line...

No need speculating, because they will pass...and i do not where ill be. But i know, i will enjoy our life.
