From the day a baby is born, he looks curiously from one place to another and wonders about the new environment he has stepped into a few minutes earlier. After a few days pass, he learns to differentiate between the members of his family and the outsiders. A few more days pass, and he learns to express himself, at least his hunger. By this time, the baby has turned into a child.
The child now starts to go to school and he learns the alphabets, the numbers and of course he learns their use. One day at home, he is taught to calculate the time by seeing the clock. Every day, he learns a thousand words that he hears from the many he meet while in school, while at home, or in the market or while reading a comic, or while on road reading a hoarding. He learns and learns and learns even himself being unknown to it. By now, he has learnt the art of behaving with the society. He has learnt to make friends, and to share his joy and tears with them. He also quickly learns to say “NO” to some thing that he wants to avoid.
The child in the mean while has turned into a boy and then into his teen. Now, he has some new array of questions whose answers he dearly want but feels shy to ask. He has joined the college by now and is learning his subjects there. He is taught the art of organization and he is imparted with leadership qualities that would be necessary for him during his days at work a few years after. He is now rapidly turning into a MAN, a man of caliber. He joins his office, and with experience, he learns to control his staff with maturity and idealistically manages his work.
As days pass and the man gets married, he learns to love his woman, to care for his family, to ensure a safe and healthy living for his family. He becomes a father and he now learns to care for his son and ensure his proper nurture into a man better than he himself is. Slowly he becomes older and older and then he learns to depend on his son for everything. He learns to love his grand children and share his thoughts, his joys, and his grieves with them. Slowly, he learns to cope with the modern world, even if dissatisfied, and continue to live his last days. Every moment of his life has been spent in learning some sort of thing, or gaining some sort of experience and he still craves for more knowledge. He still wants to know the answers to his unanswered questions. Its time for him now to “sleep” and even on doing so he learns.
