An appalling crisis!

Cheeniya Sir,
Another thread discussing day-to-day or shall we call 'seasonal' crisis'.

.Irony is, the children for those families who could not afford, study well, have interest in studies and want to achieve more.
But for those families who can afford, children show lack of interest in studies.
(exceptions are here too).

As pointed out earlier by Vidya--essentials for the life has to be made available to everyone without any burden.
As Bharathiyar pointed out in his poem---'if there is no food for a single person, we should burn the whole world' as such we can also add to that 'education for everyone'.
This is our dream, isn't it!

Dear Cheeniy sir,

I went thru all the fbs & yr post befor penning my fb.

I want to tell u all about myself. In my school going days, I was an average student and Maths was a forbidden subject but my elder brother was the gifted one. He used to work hard also to get good marks hence things at home were son oriented. He cleared his 10th & +2 with flying colours everybody was very proud of him. He got an engineering seat with merit and was admitted to one in mysore. He was staying there with my grandma & uncle's family. My family was a middle class family with my father as the sole bread winner. He had lot of hopes on his son. He was also tuned to the family's burden and studied very well.Scored the 6th rank in the university and was offered a nice job in my father's organisation (people were dying to get into the same) we all thought our financial crisis would be over. We had a meeting of sorts and decided to construct a house in Chennai as we had a plot over there. Everything went fine, suddenly one day my brother dropped the bombshell that he was not interested in this materialistic world and would want to take sanyas. He joined chinmaya mission to pursue his chosen path. After all the troubles my parents took, now my brother is full time sanyasi. We had to literally pitch in every pie during the crucial eriod. Seeing all this I did not have any inclination to pursue my studies and joined for a job immediately (though was very much interested to have a career in interior designing or beautician) due to the financial crunch. My father took a VRS to get me married and he breathed his last also before 6 yrs. My mother was totally alone though now my brother is staying with her commenting on everything food, way of thinking etc. I still have the pain that I had to foresake my ambition but have a more satisfied feeling that I have been a dutiful daughter and my father really loved me so much.

Why I am telling all this is whether a daughter or son education is important but the person also should understand the situations of the family. We as parents go out of our way to make our kids educated (give them the best of education) they also have the same kind of responsibility. Kids should have alternatives also not only an engineer or doctor or software ..

Oops sorry, My fb has become too long.

 

Hello Sir
I am really sorry for the girl having score so good marks & nobody to praise it but taking it as a failure!
If this is only becoz she is a girl & shudn't have dreams for higher education than our society is still very much partial to males.
There are now a days so many educational loans available right in college campus & easy instalments.
And most of the time it is daughters who support their family in need emmotinally as well as physically & if possible than finacially.

Dear Sri
It gives me immense delight to disagree with you. There is no (imaginary) well documented fact that girls have greater attachment to parents and such.. Really come on.. I opned this thread to write about an "intellectual" point of view and what do I see but some documentation which does not exist and even if it does exist is Obsolete.. I have a son and I am going to write NEW documentation that boys are more attached to parents and WILL always be (tell they get married ofcourse :bowdown who am I kiddingBig Laugh).. Anyway my visit has been served.. Since I am more likely the sole "argumentor" I can relax that my point will not be usurped in the near future:thumbsup

 

Dear AC,
With all consideration, admiration.... etc for your son, let me repeat my favourite one liner
God gives daughters only to those whom he really likes !
You are a daughter & you know what a daughter means to her parents. Iam blessed & Sri is doubly blessed !
Love,
Chithra.
Friends, I have written this purely in the lighter vain !

 

Dear Chithra and Sri
Maybe since both of you had your heads immersed in OATS :droolyou missed the latest find - God gives a son for whom he really loves and a daughter for those whom:crazy he (kindof) likes...
Thats why you both people need to surface once in a while up from oats, bran, koolu, muesli etc and be more aware of recent happenings..
To All Friends I too have written this in the lighter vain (read "except for the above mentioned OATS community")
