Nature Designed (TEK)...

Long walking, seeing the green, living in a well engineered hut for the cold right on the top of a hill, a view down will feed your mind with the greatness of peace and happiness...

This was the hut in which i had spent sometime. It is built with leaves and dry wood.... i was volunteering in a tribal school in which i had the opportunity to teach English and take all the kids to school. The had count of the school stood 25, the school had no doors or walls but  roof and mud floor coated with cow dung to make it even. This hut still has the design in me, it is rested in four stick and over it there is a dry leaf bed is put. The roof is in design of a egg cut vertically and it is placed in a way that the front part of it is placed with taller wood than the back. then the space to sleep is made in a way that there is equal gap in the front as well as in the back.

It is so cold in the winter and to avoid it there is a very thick wood which can provide smoke all night. It is placed in the front space and as the smoke comes inside it goes out in the space which is left in the back. so amazing how did they get this design .....it kept me warm all night with free of insects, slept peacefully and woken by the natural sunlight ......
How did they build this ? Knowledge passed on by forefathers, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) derived from the nature itself and totally eco-friendly........ The Wild is totally Green leaving me mesmerized.....

Aristotle's ideal man!

Aristotle and his philosophy has always inspired me, be it the organisation of science or about friends; he has always been able to strike some mutual chord of thinking .... As i was reading there were few saying on Aristotle's Ideal Man. I keep reading it again and again and made sure i will be able to mention each and every word when i tell to people about these lines.... "He does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crisis, to give even his life,-knowing that under certain conditions it is not worth while to live. He is of disposition to do men service, though he is ashamed to have a service done to him. To confer kindness it is a act of superiority, to receive one is an act of subordination..... He does not take part in public displays.. He is open in his dislikes and preferences, he talks and acts frankly, because for his contempt for men and things... He is never fired with ad

Leaders are not always born to leaders

I saw a two line mention about a leaders daughter failing to fight for an issue pertaining to Human Rights. All that i could recollect was the best debates and some personal experiences with the community which  enriches me on leadership and ancestral recognition. Most of the time the world now seems to drive leadership more towards hereditary type as in the sons and daughters of the leader or the most powerful tend to come and occupy the same place knowing not about him or herself. No one knows what the seed can yield unless it is nurtured and till the time it come to the stage of yielding fruit. There should be equal composition of the young and the old, same in gender composition, as Plato says if a man is good at house hold labour let him do it , if a woman is good at ruling and administering let her take that place. There shall be no bias in gender or economic disparities when you choose a leader it shall be done with strict selection without any inside motives let the capab

Travelling with the public transport!

"its peak time in the morning, I chose to get back to my basics , travelling in the public transport. As usual is sat in the first row near to the driver so that i get the view of the driver. During the travel i was able to see a small bicycle being peddled so fast by a small boy with his sister who seems to be elder than him, probably going to work. As this i s summer he should be on a holiday, all he did was chose to drop her sister in the bus stop because she was getting late,,,, it was so emotional to see the kid who was literally breathing so hard, sweating so much, waving his hand to his sister with a strong satisfied smile who was able to catch the bus and go on time. It was even more amazing was the driver too understood the effort of the kid and slowed down a bit to give credit to the small kids accomplishment  ... Sometimes we are so busy that our eyes are glued to our smart lifeless friend, ears tuned to the same,,,, and miss out on these small wonderful happiness that
