Education?

Ravi preparing for the 25^th Birthday, he wants to groom like Bride-groom, so that it keeps in his memory forever. That he con’t forget for his life time.

                As hi is preparation started from a week shopped a T-shirt and Jeans. Then the day before his birthday in the late evening standing before the mirror thought of having hair cut, so that he can look slim and trim with his new dress.

                Headed towards Barbershop this is the Best in his area, called ‘HI-Fi Hair dresses’.

Stand in front of the shop around 8  O’clock in the evening, saw the rush and waited by walking here and there in front the shop. After sometime the shop-owner nodded him and told ‘please have chair’. Few retired people also waiting for their hair-cut.

                Those were chatting about fees for admitting school for their children and  grandchildren.
   

One person said, “Nowadays for our children getting seats in reputed school very difficult, there is much competition”.

Other replied, “No,now-a-days” children are getting seats and courses in the college not based the marks secured in the exams but from the donations.

Another said, “Correct..!!!, last year what was happened was one of friend’s son had wanted get admission from the Brilliant International College, But staff told him that you should be secured more then 80%  and pay 20,000 rupees”.

“How can he offer that amount as his father working in the oil mill with monthly salary 5000 rupees and not only  money but the boy has secured 79%, But college did not offer him seat[Frowned]”.

One more interrupted, said “Now –a –day colleges are look like five-hotel or shopping mall and classrooms are like Night Clubs, all doors and windows shut and  full of light tubes and teaching are doing by using mic and big theater screen so, maintenance cost is very high”. 

“They are teaching about the Foreign cultures in foreign languages”.

“I am sure some other day our children forget our culture, languages and history”.

One more replied, “That is not for away in our the capital cities our country people are speaking in foreign languages”.

                The discussion irritated to barber [shop-owner] murmured “this people discuss like as if they are the leaders and going to revolutionize the entire education system in the country”

“I know these people only will be in the first queue to get admission for their children and grandchildren” murmured shop owner.

He nodded Ravi to sit on the chair next him for haircut and to avoid the conversation switched on the Radio.
