Graduation - The Entrance to the “Liberty Zone”

Bachpan Se Dekhi Humne “Bandisho” Ki Zindagi

 “Bandisho” Mein Hi Hum Pale Bade

 “Bandisho” Mein Humne Jeena Sikha

“Bandisho” Ko Humne Kabhi “Nafrat” Se Dekha

Per In “Bandisho” Mein Humein “Pyar” Mila

In “Bandisho” Ne Humein Achhi “Siksha” Di

In “Bandisho” Ne Humein “Sabhyata” Sikhayi

In “Bandisho” Ne Humein “Anushashan” Sikhaya

In “Bandisho” Ne Humien “Sanskaar” Diya  

Phir Humein Di Gayi “Aazadi”

 “Aazadi” Ki Is Zindagi Ka Aanand Hi Kuch Aur Tha

Achanak Mili “Aazadi” Ke Kya The “Mayne”?

Kaise Humne Kiya Is “Aazadi” Ke Sath “Nyay”? 

Kya Humne Samjha Is “Aazadi” Ka “Mahatv”?

Kya Humne Sikhi Is “Aazadi” Ki “Kadra”?

Kya Hum Ker Paye Is “Aazadi” Ka “Samman”?

I had to delete all my contents written for this post when I got the revised new title of this post while going through the Draft Messages of My Nokia Mobile (Not a Smartphone), which I saved 5 months back i.e. on 5^th Aug 2012 while travelling. Yes the title which drive the whole post is matters me a lot. Finally I got the right title & now I think I can drive this as it what I want the way it should be.

In this post I am writing about the “Graduation”. But what is new I can write about Graduation. It’s a simple higher form of the education Preceded by Schools & Succeeded by Post Graduation.  

I am going back to the year 1947 when we (India) got the Independence from British Rules & trying to understand that what it made difference to us before independence & post independence & moreover Post 1950 once we became Republic. What was the short term vision that time & what was the vision that time for next 50 & 100 years? Can we justify our independence even today when we are in between 60 to 70 years from our Independence? Do we have achieved even 50% of what it has been expected before Independence?

&... few biggest questions coming in my mind is that à

• Do we ever “Digest” our Independence?
• Do we eve “Justify” the Most Needed Freedom that time from British Rule...?
• Do we ever enjoy the “Liberty” post Independence as the way it was predicted?

Yes the same “Liberty” for which we were so “Desperate” that we didn’t “Hesitate” to compromise with Unity of our India results in Division of India.

The answer is that we never had a plan or objective before independence for the future India Post Independence. We were just crazy for getting away our India from the hand of British’s.  

In sort we couldn’t reach the “Maturity Level” to utilize our most awaited “Liberty” & we were not ready for manage “High Voltage of Power & Rights” we received post independence & ultimately its results into the biggest competitive failure of what we could be & what we are today post independence.

Now the question is how this matter to this blog when it is about “Graduation”? Am I diverting the topic?

No not at all....!!!

I would like to take you to your school days or the childhood days when we generally found ourselves to fighting with our parents now & then for anything whether it is for a toy, or chocolates or ice creams or video games or our own cycle or Picnics with friends or for not going to school or now a day’s our own mobile phones, MP3 players & the things continues.....

We get something but we don’t get most of it, as & when we requested & got frustrated. This is not enough we found our school Jail with the same uniform & our teachers Jailer who always trying to threatening us for punishment. Now when we meet our relatives we have been asked to behave in a particular manner the way our parents wants. Our relatives & elders too put lots of restrictions on us.

Arey bhai Koi “Liberty’ Hai ki nahi... Akhir hum bhi insaan hain... L The same thing it comes to our mind when we were in school every now & then... & we become the freedom fighter for our self...LOL...

At that time we were not mature enough to understand the real use of Liberty. We were not mature enough to manage all the rights which we deserve.

Finally everything as the right time & our greedy thought process thinks that why only elders enjoy?

Yes we were greedy not mature.

And our elder knows it very well. They know all our good & bad. They know when, where & what we should deserve in our life.

They wanted to give us “Good Education”. They wanted us to be “Decent” before we were put into the liberal world. They wanted us to be “Disciplined” so that we can manage our self in this fast growing world. They were working on our “Rite” & “Moral Conduct” for making us socially acceptable & respectable.

They know success comes with “Ego in the Attitude”, especially when we got it easily & without hurdles & therefore they don’t give us everything very easily.

The whole childhood has been designed that whatever & whenever we get liberty we should “Respect” it, we should “Justify” It. And the same should not be misused because of our immaturity to handle it.

Finally once we look back in our life we realize that we got everything but not when we wanted but when we actually required it.... J J

Can we ever correlate sudden change from the “Same Boring Uniform” every day in school to “No Dress Code” in collage during our Graduation?

The logic behind “School Uniforms” is to diminishing economic and social barriers among students & encourages discipline. Now while giving Liberty in collages it’s a clearly our test by the society how we use this Liberty, whether we misuse this Liberty by wearing Fashionable outfit which doesn’t suit in the public places like educational institute & provoke show off among our friends? Or do we go for proper Formal outfit which don’t create economic and social barriers among students & encourages discipline?

This is the sign that the world is wanted us to enter into “The Liberty Zone”.

Why suddenly this Liberty?

If we will be able to answer the following questions, nobody can stop us to become successful with proper positive social recognition à

• What this sudden Liberty “Meant” for us?
• What is the “Importance” of this Liberty to us?
• Whether we learnt how to “Respect” this Liberty?
• Whether we learnt how to “Justify” this Liberty?

If we noticed once we get admission in our collage for our Graduation suddenly we started getting “Different Treatment”. Gradually we have been asked to give “Our Opinion” on various places either it is a family matter or a social matters. The kind of attention we starts getting & the kind of importance we have been given is also a surprise for us. We start getting Liberty with a quite good manner.

Actually Graduation is the real Test of life with “Must Needed Liberty”.

Test....? What kind of Test....?

It’s a Test of our “Decency”...!!! It’s a Test of our “Discipline”...!!! It’s a Test of our “Rite”...!!! It’s a Test of our “Moral Conduct”...!!! It’s Test of our “Attitude”...!!! It’s Test of our “Independence”...!!! It’s Test of our “Justice”...!!!  It’s Test of our “Respectfulness”...!!!

And for all above test you have been given full “Liberty”.

Now this “Liberty” can be used in any ways. We can “Utilize” it in the right direction like to build our career or just waste it by “Misusing” the same by addicted in the wrong doings with friends.

There are many such examples where you have been tested by putting you on the “Liberal Environment”.

I have been given full liberty from my family. I have started taking my own decisions. I was travelling to Seoni 25 KM from my place daily by my own like other Barghat students. My pocket money was increased & the frequency has been increased from weekly to daily.

I remember once my father has given me Rs. 200/- on the occasion of my birthday & ask me to give Party to my friends during my graduation. I was surprised & the experience was awesome.

For me this Liberty was precious. I have never misuse it. I never spent my pocket money for any bad habits. The art of saving money which has been taught to me by my Mummy, I have utilized it in a same manner in graduation when I had the liberty to spent it in any ways. Most of my best friends also I found during my Graduation.

Graduation – The Entrance to the “Liberty Zone” is not easy as it looks like. It comes with big responsibilities given to us by elders. They have trusted on our ability & creativity. It’s a transformation from being teenagers to be called young. We assumed to be mature enough & capable enough to think about our good & bad. We became accountable for what we are thinking & what we are doing. We have given freedom to take our own decisions. Even we have been consulted for various decisions.

We generally follow rules & regulation when someone is watching us carefully & always there to punish us but there has to be a self discipline which makes us obey all the rules & regulation irrespective someone is watching us or not.

Keep Patience-Be Cool & Calm the Liberty will be given to you on the right time those who are still in schools....!!!!

Congratulations to all those who already entered in their Liberty Zone & never misused it & become successful with social recognition....!!!!

Hard Luck to those who couldn’t Digest the Liberty Zone, misused it, waste it & finally failed....!!!!

Thanks to Graduation for providing us the Liberty Zone. ...!!!!

Best of Luck to the Liberty Zone to manage all of us together. ...!!!!

Give a Standing Ovation to me for finally ending up this post & stop misusing your Liberty given to me....!!!!

Thanks a lot for reading... Take care & all the best...Hope you all not bored while reading that J
