As a diehard lover to the profession of teaching, I adore to blend with kids. Their world is so natural and undisturbed unlike the tensed adult life. Their desires are as big as the universe, the kind of effort they put is purely innocent and they are not worried of the results of their efforts…
As a grown up, I have to unlearn a lot of my junk habits that I have collected in the past and live like a kid in this perfectly designed universe. The only place I can do that is while I am amidst kids. As I see that any kid for that matter is brutally fearless and does not care of the crowd around. Wow!!! Isn’t that a boon to be ever fearless and not limit our potential by burying ourselves under numerous assumptions??
While I was in India for a while during my vacation, I accepted to be a teacher at a local school and kids there taught me a lot about life lessons. One such kid who made an impact on me was Fardeen, a nine year old boy who was financially not that sound but emotionally self controlled like a tiger in the woods. He gave me ideas on how one can build a world full of opportunities, contentment and selfless actions. These were the conclusions I drew from the talks we had after the school hours. Its not Fardeen alone who can help an adult like me but any kid that age can teach us a lot about removing the deviations in us. Trust me, if anyone wanted to see god in his purest form then a kindergarten is much holier than a temple or a church. This is my opinion and I don’t wish to generalize it.
Before my time is done, I would like to have a satisfied teaching career and be with the kids to learn what I missed in all these unending demands of an adult life.
Good day all…
