Shall I participate here?
|
The question of title arises in many of our Indians, who are very much hesitated in participating in many of their activities. Chances are very rare. But we miss all those chances. All those things are owing to hesitation, absense of planning and stage fear. This happens everywhere in world, but India is special.
I can explain it with a story that was happened in my school life. We had an intra school Cricket Match. Green and Red teams were at finals. I played for Green team. We went for field first and Red team batted first.They scored 90 runs in 25overs. Chasing a very easy target our team started batting. We lost our early wickets but middle order batsmen controlled the fall of wickets. But the Red team had a great come back and took the middle order batmens wicket. Myself too failed to shine on that match.
We had lost 9 wickets and we had just 2 runs as target. John was the last batsmen who drived his bat for a single. Unfortunately,the ball was under the control of the fielder. But John started running between wickets. The fielder dirctely hit the stumps,but John has reached the crease.However, the bowler and other team mates appealed with the Umpire, who is also a senior student of our school. He mistakenly said the batsman was out. But everyone knows that it was not out.
Red team won that match due to the poor decision of the umpire. Some of the guys were started scolding the Umpire. They critised him much. I advised my friends to forget it as passing clods. But they didn't. During the study hour, they have tortured him. Umpire(Being a student), suddenly went to chemistry laboratory. He started taking Potassium Cyniade, which is poison for human beings. Fortunately, the chemistry master has identified that he has taken some chemicals and gave the first aid. He was bought again to the existence.
As there was an enqiury conducted by the school management regarding his sucide attempt, Raja seemed to be commeneted much on the Umpire. All the staff members started scolding him and even beatings too. Raja went to the lake nearby and he tried for killing himself. But the civilians helped him to get his life back.
Taking all those incidents in account, nowadays, students are feared to appear in cricket tournaments at that school. Especially for Umpires. The management has advised a lot and gave many chances to the students to participate in cricket tournaments. But both the players and Umpires boycott every tournament. But now they are turing towards the play, however they miss the past 3years district matches.
These story says that we have enough number of chances to share our sport spirit, but we miss them by having fear on past games. Generally saying, We miss lots and lots of fame and awards owing to our non participatement. It may be owing to fear, hesitation, lack of confidence and TIME. A very good example is, Smt.Karnam Malleswari, weight lifter from India. She was the only medalist at 2000' Sydney Olympics. She was expected to get Gold in 2004'Athens Olympics. But she had a severe sprain during her practise session. These made her to miss both the participation and medal at Athens.
The Conclusion is teachers must develope the confidence for student. Nehru says "Children are the foundation of the future nation". If they have been trearted much with confidence, ability and behaviour, every one will participate under their interested area. They must be practised to lose their stage fear and hesitations. They must be prepared to be bold anywhere for any reasons.

Can Youth spread the peace?
|
“Give me 100 young and energetic people, I can change this world”, these are the words of Swami Vivekanda, a great philosopher of India. The words of Vivekanda show that Youngsters are the powerful weapon to change this cruel world. Every man aims for earning much money. He made himself to do anything for money! So, we the youngsters much preach them the minimum level of satisfaction.
But the present world of youngsters has got a very bad reputation. Most of the young people have become addicted to televisions, video games, movies and so on. Also we got the impression that the teenage boys are like gangsters. For example, one of my neighbours will drop his daughter to the school in the morning and pick up her from the school in the evening. I asked him why he does it, even if his daughter has aged 16. He replied me that the teenage boys have a bad eye on girls and so he wants to protect his daughter. We cannot blame him. What he said was correct! Most of the young people, especially teen ages have got much affection on opposite sex. Nowadays it roots for violent activities too. The affection has become over affection. Also they involve in smoking, drinking and other unwanted activities which turns their mind to do violent activities. They never turn upon the society too. We can see the basic reasons for it.
The life style of a child from a middle class family:
In India, everyone wants their children to sit at a high position with a good graduate. It is quite natural among everyone. But many of the people never want to send their children on their wish. The parents aim their child to be either an engineer or a doctor because both are the better fields to earn much money. TamilNadu, a state among 27 states of India, has more than 300 engineering colleges. The total number of seats of engineering colleges has nearly equal to that of total number of out coming students every year. But the government never turns on it! We can proudly say that “India produces maximum numbers of Engineers”. But we miss out in the other departments.
Most of the parents never leave their children to take part in any extra curricular activity as their wish. They say that their children must be studying always. They want the children to be much disciplined. This makes the growing child to rely on family rather than on society. They always scold the children. But they do it for a right sense. But the young people bother only on their scolding! This makes them to show the angry in the other sense of brutal.
Literature’s Knowledge:
However, the modern world has got much equipments and technology for communication, in cities, we are lack of communication. Basically, if you enter into a village of 200 or 300 families and ask where the house of Mr. John is, everyone in the village will give you the correct address. But in the city, we don’t get the response. Also People never want to know who is situated on the next door. Even, there are some people from the same apartment, who never know themselves. If we ask them they say us that, they go to work in the earlier and returns back home late. So they can’t get the neighbour.
Even the well educated people do the same mistake. This makes the robbers to enter into the politics. In republic countries like India, People should nominate their leaders by consulting with the neighbours. But no one does it here. The reason is lack of communication with the neighbours and the next doors. This will be an added advantage for those robbers. They just divide us and conquer us. That’s what the riots happen. So, first of all we have to educate every literate people to be active. We must show our unity. Every literate must preach the other illiterate to help the society. Else our youngsters cannot emerge into an energetic world!
