Do u think I should ask for a refund from my school/ college .😁😁

I feel 70 % of the things I've learnt so far in life have never been and shall never be utilized by me.
I did spend a considerable amount of time learning Trigonometry and Logarithms...never to use once I gave my last Maths exam . I still remember Sine was perpendicular by hypotenuse,  Cos was  base by hypotenuse and Tan was perpendicular by base.BUT WHAT'S THE POINT? The Sets and Venn Diagram all utterly useless. They could never teach me the different PERMUTATIONS AND COMBINATIONS required to manage day to day life.
A firm determination and dedication had  helped me ,memorize Mark Antony's speech in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar , but who wants to hear it 😀even if I still remember word to word . While browsing through my brain,  it still has the portions of  English Literature where Chaucer , Keats / Yeats all had so much to say . The Canterbury Tales where Beowulf struggles through his journey never really inspired my own struggle of what would be the best way to manage life.

The history of India and the different civilizations of the world will never help me to cook better food or keep my home in a better fashion or give better creativity to my mind. Although I can still relate,  in India it started with Indus Valley Civilization, till the Aaryans invaded( it is now a controversy although).leading to Jainism -Buddhism later  Mauryan Empire and so on and so forth ., Whether it was the world ,after the two major wars ,seeked Disarmanent treaties and League of nations ,till Cold War between the nations finally brought in United Nation Organization.
The Indian freedom struggle is also of almost no interest to anyone ( including myself) anymore. 
Yes ,People say since freedom was served to us on a platter,it seems insignificant,  but the truth is for how long can we keep harping on it when in the present situation of cut throat competition it won't be much help.
The Sandhi - Samas which I kept cramming, for it, to somehow get into my brain and remain there , is now just occupying free space , not ready to move out .Same is the case with Sant Kabir ke dohe and Munshi Prem Chand's stories filled with sorrow and poverty . Why couldn't he write something happy ,always remained a perennial question in my mind. Whatever , then my job was not to judge his choice of genre but simply by heart the question /answers/ shabdaarth, and be done away with . 

But yes given the point that there was nothing better to do in my growing up years , it now seems to be a good pastime, rather than simply loitering around, school and books then were more respectable .
 Apart from that , I did learn something after all,  which shall always help not only me but all of us ,
MONEY  IS A MATTER OF FUNCTIONS FOUR
A MEDIUM , A MEASURE, A STANDARD,  A STORE,😁😁 
no pun intended. 😊

DRIZZLE TO DOWN POUR

Image
  Disclaimer:  I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my 4 the post for  D # Drizzle to Downpour  I was in the first year of college. We were given a preparatory leave for our midterm exams. It was Monsoon time.  That day I had a project to submit so had to go to college. Normally my whole group of friends would board the bus together, but today I had no company. The sky seemed clear. I felt if I could get the bus at 8, reach college around 9, and submit the assignment, I could be back by 10 o clock. That way I could save the rest of the day for studying. I just took my wallet, put my project done so prudently in my bag and off I went.  I boarded the almost empty bus and took my favourite window seat. Whenever commuting to and fro, I have crossed the Howrah Bridge, I have always felt so relaxed. The cool breeze from the Hooghly river whispering in my ear always brought tranquillity and peace. The bus had great momentu...

FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME

 Disclaimer: I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my sixth post, F # FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME  The incident to which I shall be relating. the series proving how big an idiot I am, took place at the World famous Goddess Karni Temple near Bikaner, Rajasthan. It was during our Autumn 😎 Break. My Parents and we four sisters were on a road trip to Rajasthan's holy places. It was the last stop, almost our journey's end before heading back to Jaipur. Let me brief you before we proceed, that Karni Mata Mandir is also known as the Temple of Rats with approximately 25,000 black and white ones, housed there. We were not expecting them to be dangerous, or scary. To be honest, I had imagined them in their nice warm cages, but no, as we entered, I was in shock. The sudden realisation that in the next 15 to 20 minutes we shall be surrounded by potentially thousands of RATS. We were told to be discrete enough not to step on, not even accidentally on a ...

A friend in need is a friend indeed! 😇

 A # A friend in need is a friend indeed TO ERR IS HUMAN😇 TO FORGET IT AND STILL MAKE THE SAME 🙄 WELL IS  HUMAN AGAIN 🙂 GRADUALLY MAKING IT AGAIN N' AGAIN 🙄🙄 YOU BECOME A MASTER IN THE GAME 🏆 Some mistakes don't have a noteworthy impact,  but a few change the course of your life.I shall be talking about both, till u feel, thank God you are after all not me. The first big mistake I remember was committed in my 4th standard,  I was 8 years old then and had made my very first best friend. 👭Her name was Kanchan. We had sworn to stand by each other through thick n thin . One day she informed me her telephone ☎️ ( that was the norm in the 80s and 90s ) was out of order and if I could register its complaint. I told her that I was unaware of the process. She gave me a number on which I was supposed to call and directed me on how to go about it . I agreed 👍.  In the afternoon,  I decided to do the needful.  I called up, a man's voice answered,  I t...
