"Nature is the mother of all Education"

Dear Friend Long before modern education and schooling came, there used to be Gurukul. Kings, as well as common men, used to go to the jungle to learn. There was a balance in learning which came from nature plus a teacher. Time passed and big books were written. Our "Environment" became a topic of study and got into the curriculum. But the problems which civilization brought along with it, they remained. We were not stepping into nature.

"कोई भी कला आपको बनाती है, आप उसे नहीं बनाते"

"आप thegirl को नहीं बना रहे, thegirl आपको बना रही है" गाँव का पुल अभी हाल ही में मैं राँची में था. वहाँ भू-वैज्ञानिक व प्रोफेशर नीतीश प्रियदर्शी से मुलाक़ात के बाद मेरे उत्साहित बोल पे मेरे एक दोस्त ने कहा, "जैसे जैसे thegirl की जर्नी आगे बढ़ती जा रही है ऐसा जान पड़ता है आप thegirl को नहीं बना रहे, यह फ़िल्म आपको बना रही है" लौटते हुए मैने प्रोफ़ेसर नीतीश प्रियदर्शी का एक फ़ोटो ले लिया. वे सही कह रही थी. पिछले साल भर में thegirl के सिलसिले में जाने अनजाने मेरा बहुत लोगों से मिलना हुआ, और उनसे मिलना कुछ ऐसा ही रहा जैसे कि सबकुछ thegirl की भूमिका में ही पहले से तय थी. thegirl की जर्नी लगभग डेढ़ साल पहले शुरू हुई थी. उन दिनों मैं सिक्किम में था. गंगटोक में दो दिन हुए थे. एक शाम मैं वहीं एक होटल से खाना खाकर निकल रहा था. होटल एमजी मार्केट में था और ठीक सामने ही एक बीयर बार. मैने सोचा अंदर हो लिया जाए. बार के गेट को मैंने जोड़ से धक्का दिया, जैसे ही गेट खुला, तेज़ आवाज़ में संगीत मेरे कानों में पड़ी. मैं अंदर जाकर इधर उधर देखता हुआ एक जगह बैठ गया, साम...
