We are doing well and our country is progressing so let us start on a positive note. Availability of drinking water, wash water, water for agriculture is, however, a cause of concern on which all our energies should be focussed. We need to be busy in discussing and implementing rain water harvesting, wash water recycling, drip irrigation techniques, technological ways of producing water such as desalination. Steps must be taken to curb wastage and leakage of water. If you watch television debates you will notice that anchors are only engaged in discussing about Indrani and Peter Mukherjea or Radhe Maa. Every detail about Sheena Bora, the way she smiled, whom she dated and how she used to be in school is now considered newsworthy, to be played out 24/7 on news channels and news websites. Netizens also are posting jokes on social networking sites about this incident. Everybody is busy passing their comments without verifying the facts. The police are probing this matter and let them do their job so that truth will be unveiled soon.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed students on the occasion of Teachers Day in New Delhi. He told students that aptitude certificate should be issued in place of character certificate. President Pranab Mukherjee too interacted with students and teachers of Delhi government schools on the same day. He asked students to call him Mukherjee sir. Indian boys and girls are doing very well in educating themselves. They are very proficient in their jobs, usage of computers and follow traffic rules. Youth obey elders and follow traditions which is praiseworthy. While working they interact in English with their colleagues and but mostly speak their mother tongue at home. I was very impressed after watching the movie The Hundred Foot Journey. See how much pain the professor takes in teaching phonetically correct English to the girl in the movie My Fair Lady.
All of us studied Hindi upto plus two level and can read and write the language very well. On the other hand, English remains the declared language of communication on most of the ships. It is necessary to control the rising population of our country. Some leaders ask people to produce four children but it is very difficult to raise them properly. Feeding children correctly is a very difficult and skilled job. They have a craving for chocolates, jellies and boomers etc and avoid eating “dal-roti”. So friends, let us remain sincere, work hard and develop ability to understand priorities, personal and national. Love and respect your parents and teachers for the betterment of society and development of the nation..
