People who are educated always want their children to be educated!

Education although not a primal force in India due to some trouble mindset of people who believe that their wards could earn anyhow and money is a more important aspect in life than anything else. On the other hand, there are few who believe that education is the best way to uplift the mind, body, and soul. 

My father was one of the people who always put his thoughts on spending money on my education and never had a wish for me to become a contractor or any other particular job profile where the less educated person is required. 

In a true sense, he carried the legacy of his father Sri Chitranjan Prasad who was at a prime post in employment exchange at Bokaro Steel City. Also, my father Mr. Upendra Vidyarthi who was working at Sail, Bokaro Steel Plant in spite of spending 8-10 hours at the steel plant always kept an eye on my studies, and never ever his thoughts were towards my drifting away in terms of social behavior.

Now, the same could be said about his other brothers and sisters who kept the high thoughts towards studies and for them, it was more or less a compulsion. For a person like me if I was into studies was not because it was a way to challenge someone or to get ahead in life but it was just a way of life as there was nothing bigger to do in life.

I could say that I was good at football but for that particular reason I just could not rush towards Tata Football Academy at Jamshedpur as I was aware that these games took more or less a heavy toll and recognition is akin to be a person who has not achieved bigger things in life.

Believe me or not any particular sports-person in India gets adulation and respect till he is into the athletic mode but once he is out of the sports his lifestyle becomes more or less ordinary than common people and then it hurts them for a long time in life.

Now, think about the people such as Mr. Chunni Lal and various other football players such as Mr. Peter Thangraj when they passed away they neither got any state-level response nor anybody was found to cry over their sad demise. 

If I remember a few examples around me where students from the very common background were inclined towards studies then there were few who were working at Atta Mill or flour mill and in spite of earning for their home they use to reach our school at Holy Cross and I had an only sense of appreciation for them.

When I use to visit the atta mill the boy said after all I cannot spend entire hours spending time on studies but this particular work will help me to get a better piece of bread for my home. The same could be said about many students from Chas who were working at various shops earned by their parents. They use to sell clothes, jewelry, and also many other things according to the business and happily reached the school in the early morning.

On the contrary people in Sectors at Bokaro Steel City only dreamt of getting into IIT and various other competitive exams, their parents, and mockery of other children and created nuisance in such a way that made difficult to breathe easily.

My thoughts of earning on my own and learning at the same time were all which I learned at my school rather than any particular American way of living which helped me to build my life and it was all because my uncle's including my father also carried the same thought process of earning on their own and make a better position in the society.

So, to conclude one could say that my life was neither any way of revolutionizing my thoughts against any imperialistic people or community but it was all about carrying a legacy of being educated and understanding the core of the education which is about earning the own bread and butter to make a better lifestyle.

To conclude one could say that people who are educated always want their children to be educated but those who believe that a person less educated can survive in life could only sell the Gods or the Koyla and at last creates a generation around him or her which is as bad as his overpowered legacy!
