A Way of Learning

Imagine yourself as a student living in the era of thousand years ago. How would you further your knowledge? You would go out of your home for years, seek a guru, live with him under kurukulum, eat with him, wash his cloths, and clean his home and in return of your service he shares you the knowledge. This knowledges were sealed tight in a cryptogram of classical languages, that it would never reach to a common man. When talking about a cryptogram, do we all still remember the Q.E.D we writes at the end of our geometry theorems. I wonder if we have any idea about what it meant actually but we manage to plugged into it anyways. But those all was like we were sitting in some ancient Rome and learning under a Latin philosopher. Coming back to our own learning scene, as in the case lie Ekalavya, a Guru can easily ignore/refuse a student, no matter how sincere he/she was. Out there we have many Ekalavyas' today too. Lets consider how many young and old peoples aspiring to learn today? Consider how many learning centers, colleges and universities are out there. If so, no wonder the overburdened professors, teachers and lecturers says more no to yeses. Even though a passion burnt inside them, many a students has been turned away from their doors. These heartbroken souls would be mourn at first, but should soon realize that the centres of learning are now just right in front of them in the form of their laptops and smartphones. Whatever it is you wants to learn everything is there, let it be a apple pie recipe or the significance of mathematical pi, one needs to look no further. These education portals do have a way of bringing the world as one. One learns just not about a course but also about oneself and the globe. Just the way like Ekalavya made a mud statue of Guru Dronacharya, who refused to teach him and went on to teach himself and become a master of that art, you too definitely can do the same with your metal university. There are no any need to break down yourself with tears when they find reason to not to open the ivory gates. Why years for wall, when you have the world in your hands?
