Human supremacy

This is not opportune time to write blog, running late . Have to leave for conference before that have to finish one cash flow. I was just listening to Madhushala by Mana dey and something hit my mind. I recollected his interview with Shekhar gupta on walk the talk , the gist of that interview was following ." Even though I have sang less songs than Kishore kumar and Mohd rafi, but I have sang quality songs , which were difficult to sing " In essence he wanted to emphasis the point he was a better singer, I am not qualified to comment whether he is or not ...But I want to draw one conclusion out of it and i.e Human being finds ways and means to differentiate himself/herself and create an aura in Mind that they are not only different but better . I wonder if this is the major cause of conflicts in relationship, family, states, Institutions, countries..... to big question to be dealth at this canvas......
Perhaps ..next time...

Fragmented school Memories

I recently met Nik nanda, he is DOSCO - word referred for Alumni of The Doon School .His passion, nostalgia , reminiscence for that school is inexplicable. Relating it to me I wondered which school I can relate with ...enn koul public school , bana mohalla where I started my schooling , tyndale biscoe ,lal chowk where I spend few months or st peters which I joined in Jammu second shift after our Forced/Voluntary/ or perceived short exodus ,( which seems to be a exodus till my death).. or pragmatic school at miran sahib or Luthra academy. A fragmented cluster is created in my mind when I try to draw a graphic picture of my School experience, post speaking to Nik I wonder which school I could relate identify with ....tried my level best in this hectic schedule to rummage my memories and find the answer ...Alas, I could find None....Post migration times were turbulent and circumstances never allowed you to enjoy that particular phase i.e adolescent schooling days.....But I wish Roch,my son,would be able to do that ....
