“An Educated”

One day at “tapari” I was enjoying a cup of tea with my friend.
A roadside entertainer and his family were engage in their stunts. After some time a little boy from that family came to us and I turn my hand towards my pocket to give some small amount to that boy and I end up giving 5 rupees currency bill. My friend gave me a strange look and took a deep sigh. I felt that now he is going to deliver speech on how people promotes poverty, and I was right, the very moment he started his philosophical speech by…”these people won’t change they should send their children to school, they should learn that education is integral part of life…..i was not getting what should I do …should I laugh at my friend’s comment or scold him right there…
.......if that roadside entertainer was educated enough he won’t have been a roadside entertainer….what we educated people are doing for the unprivileged people???? One of my friend used one sentence when I was in my second year of engineering…”In India our problem is : we have more than one billion Advisers (near about complete population) however we have very few doers….” Means everybody very nicely explain what government and people of India should do..but nobody want to actually get involved into the matter…and these are the free-advisers and believe me they are most brilliant people in the country…so we have country of almost all brilliant people and few few students and executors..
I calmly listen to all the blames getting fired on me...and told to my philosopher friend that this family of roadside entertainer is not mature enough to understand the importance of education…to my surprise he said but that small boy should try to learn the things and try to study...yah the path will be tough but he has to do it…they should do hard work..
I got impatient with all what was going on and I fired one question….do you remember anything that your parents didn’t provide you, when you were studying? He said no that never happened….then I asked even if you were not underprivileged, you just learn till engineering and getting your life mundane by sitting in front of computer all the day calling yourself software engineer…in one MNC….doing donkey work that these outsiders send to us…..what the hell stopped you making your way into the google?.......our discussion end there itself……..

As an educated person we are not supposed to start giving free advice on all the matters which we don’t know completely. The only thing we should do is to help others as much as possible for us…in some cases encourage our friends to do similar work and keep our mouth shut then and then we can call ourselves “an educated”.
