Anna Hazare forming political party not good news



•- Many ardent admirers of Anna Hazare are bound to feel disappointed that  he would form political party and contest elections to bring Lokpal Bill.
Anna Hazare received widespread support because of the relevance of his anti corruption movement.  The support that he got from cross section of countrymen was due to the fact that  many were convinced that  he could bring huge pressure on the politicians to reform themselves and  bring down the level of  corruption.  Actually, he succeeded to some extent by creating  fear in the minds of corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen by exerting   moral pressure by  his anti corruption movement.   
Even those who are critical of Anna Hazare for  the abusive language used by his team members and virtually questioning the relevance of  Parliament, still thought that the cause that he espoused should be supported.
Anna Hazare should have fine tuned and continued his anti corruption campaign with conviction and faith, clearly realizing that it is a long drawn battle.
He should continue his battle against corruption in the minds and hearts of everyone in India, which is the ultimate solution to get rid of corruption in the country.
All the progress that was achieved would be wiped out in one stroke by Anna Hazare forming a political party.

Education in 21st century

•- When we talk of education in our present age, we think largely in terms of schools and colleges. The man who is well-to-do spends money in sending his son to foreign lands, in the belief that some wonderful process take place there transforming a dull fellow into a genius. Yet the products of expensive schools and universities often fail to make them good. On the other hand, the poor man who has struggled against adversity often earns the highest honour. The fact is that the true background of early education is the home. The home the influence of the mother, the inspiring examples that are held before the child at an age while he is impressionable, are the true groundwork of character and not in getting a good college and university abroad.
