Intriguing aspirations
My origin of intrigue factor about agriculture and genetics goes back to time when I was in 7 th standard . At that time I was absorbed in astro physics , particle physics & GENETICS. I always wanted to go to space and alter genes in a seed and create a plant. I had coolest school life anyone can have at present time and I am always proud of that . At that time I was too secretive and never told anyne the fact that I want to become a scientist . I thought people will ridicule me but anyway something deep within me was burning and telling me shout that I wanted to become a scientist . In those days we at school frequently had debating and roleplaying . Soon the day came and that day roleplaying session begun , the school was assembled in the 2 nd floor . The topic was : what will you become in your future ?. Everyone said about their ambitions and finally I also stood up . The fire came out . I said I wanted to become a botanical engineer . To me it meant genetic engineering . Everyone wore a weird look on their faces . My father said " there is no subject called botanical engineering . Create one yourself " . There was no measure to my embarrassment . Later and sooner I realized people in our society viewed students or somebody who wants to become a scientist or wanted to agriculture as some low minded pointless person who is going for useless work or ambition . To be more accurate to people their ambition is not a ambition . Soon I saw more wider prospect of how they looked at agriculture and its allied courses when I entered college . In those days anyone who I ask what they want to become they will say this : " I will become a doctor , you see I can earn 40,000" . I never understood what that meant or that figure of 40k meant but most of them said those same words . My college implied even more stupidly about that and they always said this : "When a engineer comes into a room people will sit and look at him . When a collector comes in people will wish him but sit. WHEN a DOCTOR comes in everyone will stand . So be proud to become one". I never understood the significance of this story because it says that one should become a doctor so that people will stand when he comes in that's all and one never really has ambition to become one except they will because people will stand when they enter . I always hated this feeling of people's view on agriculture that it is worthless . But let me tell something too . When a engineer comes into a room he will walk nice and talk nice and looks with his eyes . All that energy comes from his break fast which was a farmer's product of hardwork and engineer doesn't even know where it comes from and he also doesn't know that it is a farmers work . When a doctor comes into a room he wishes the people who stand up for him and has radiant face because he ate a good nutritious breakfast which comes from a farmer's hardwork . So let me come to the point anyway . Farmer supplies the food which runs the world . In both instances when doctor or some body else will come he will stand up even he knows that everyone there standing up to wish the doctor or doctor himself is there because he ate food which was his hardwork for a year but he will still stand up . He doesn't need your pity or respect . He is one of the people who run the motor of the world ( to say according to Atlas Shrugged ) . He doesn't care whether you stand up or not . He will not ask you don't worry . He is too modest to ask for the service he does provides the world . He will do that till his last breath . The engineer will retire and sleep in his house eating food everyday . The doctor will sleep and live in his home enjoying retirement . But the farmer still runs the world's motor by giving it food and he will feed the world . Even when the engineer or doctor die the flowers , garlands for them will come farmer's nursery . I was at first interested in physics but soon I understood one thing . It was : when man started his life on earth his first venture and subject was agriculture . When he wanted to irrigate the farm he built a canal and found engineering in it . When he wanted to provide nutrition to crop he found chemistry in it . When he calculated seed rate per square meter he found Maths in it . When he understood water should be sucked from the ground by pressure he found physics in it . I found that everything began with agriculture and so why shouldn't begin my life with agriculture ? This is what I asked myself when I was in seventh class . The answer on that day I gave to myself was : I will . So I resolved to do it and I am doing it today now . And I am proud of what I am doing , I am going to run the motor of the world . What is more intriguing than this ? Well , I am having mine . Find your intriguing aspiration . Find your intrigue . Don't worry about the blog for it always has one thing and one thing only : Intrigue. Dwell it more.

Wonderful Genius.....Man's first venture is Agriculture & the rest are part of its trickle down.....nicely kept.....
ReplyDeleteBut the question is why does the quad of Farmer-Engineer-Doctor-Collector (Administrator) fail to work together? Is it systematic issue or individual lacunae which is holding their team work?
ReplyDeleteNice one dude... especially the second half is truly thought provoking :)
ReplyDeleteVery good dude. Many more to come
ReplyDelete....it's just a beginning
Yes. The farmer is the backbone 9 the world's dynamics. Yer he is the most ignored of all. Hope the next gen accords the right priority to him and gets his what ever is his due.
ReplyDeleteWell written with wonderful observation. You amaze us a lot with your intriguing thoughts and ideas. This gives an opportunity to dwell into the unknown facets of life
