A fact that goes untouched in our thoughts… Safwan M ohamed Alavi Erooth We live in a s ingle worl d but all live in their own world we say. No one have time here, all are always engaged in one or the other activities. If we go deeper in enquiring for what are these people engaged in different activities, one is the answer for all, “MONEY, yes! It’s for money they are striving hard. But why this much money? For what if 75 yrs is the average lifespan of man here. Why if it’s no use to him? This is a question which many ancient and contemporary thinkers have asked in a single voice. This question seems very much meaningful and of use to the mankind. Why is he hungry for money even after he has got enough for him to live well here until death? The answer you get if you use your brain properly is that man has willingly forgotten the fact that he will have to die one day. He is not denying the fact because he can’t, seeing it in front of him daily. It’s right that you
The Need of Value Education -safwan erooth- “100’s of immoral CDs seized from the school bags of school students [Kerala -2005]” –A news headline- The above headline from a popular news paper is in fact showing the standard and value our students bear and more over it is a manifestation to the condition of our future citizens. When values are missing at places supposed to be its source is indeed critical and point out to the need of a renovation. Here the system to be changed is the modern system of education. The first thing to be analyzed is the meaning of education, it doesn’t mean mere filling up of knowledge but as Gandhi told it should be an all round development. Medicines cures and that’s its value and if this quality is lost, medicine is also useless. So education meant for refining the human beast to a civilized man should have its essential value so that the process takes place. Modern-day education can definitely bring out so called educated Engineers and Educated doctors i
Darwin ’s hypothesis; what the world had to pay… -Safwan Mohamed Erooth- 1859, Darwin an amateur biologist laid the foundation for the revolutionary theory of evolution. This strange theory truly became revolutionary by challenging all the religious institution which then existed. Darwin’s theory became more thrilling than any science fiction that existed at that time by explaining to the world that they themselves, the frogs in their pond and the pet dogs they had were all born from a common ancestor or in another words it meant that they all were the grand children of the same parents. Though strange enough not to be true the theory was titled true and accepted by science then, as there was nothing to challenge the evidences set forward by Darwin. Can’t help without saying that Darwin was a man awfully lucky because the level of science during then was very feeble to prove him wrong. The regulation of genetics, microbiology and biochemistry was not there when Darwin came up with thi
Is it really life or is it all a trance….??? -Safwan Mohamed Erooth- It’s all over now, I have completed my studies in engineering and I have been chosen for a job abroad in Switzerland as a computer engineer and I will have to join there in less than a week…but before that I have to go home. I have not let those at home know this news… they will be very pleased to know but I’ll tell them after I reach home from the university…let it be a surprise, it have been a long time after I have seen them and now I’m going to see them and this time with a good news that ‘I have been selected…’.I reached home after 7 hours of exhausting ride… there I saw all waiting impatiently for me, I kissed mothers forehead and gave dad a warm hug… I could see all my close friends and loved once there…my eyes overflowed with tears and I could feel it running down through my cheek, I quickly swept my face so that no one sees…and now! I thought, it was the time to let them all know the good news, the ne
EDUCATION in 360 0 Safwan Mohamed Erooth Education meant for guiding students is now, drawing narrow tracks for them to take. For a student weak in chemistry, a degree in physics can’t be denied. This system of education is baseless from its root itself. This is the system which prevented Ramanujan the great mathematician from having a degree in Mathematics, simply because he knew less English. Students were born free, leave them free. Sure they need guidance and yes! Guidance abiding by certain benchmarks; but never a narrow road to take. Let them think their thought, not what they were taught. We don’t need a generation who thinks, speaks and visualizes every thing, the same way. We want a different world where everything is unique. Where everything have new meaning, new life.
