Yesterday, Blog page wasn't working for some reason, and I couldn't write, waited for hours and ended up in watching Harry potter and half blood prince on UTV action, with the little boy of landlady.
He was preparing water balloons for holi, and I was checking the blog and movie, well, it was 1 'o clock in the morning when I finally went to sleep, and of course got very much late for work this morning.
I wanted to talk about my grandfather yesterday, well, He is very special, but today morning, i got very very upset because of my OSC, Just imagine you are coming , running to office and call your OSC, and for no reason he/she starts shouting about nothing, whole day goes bad in that case , well I too answered him rudely and ended up the call.
Ahh, but yesterday Somebody told me about a very important person, who I am sure how many Indians know about, but we all should know, he is better than SRK, Salman bhai or Aish, etc etc .
OK, so, I just heard one thing about him and I became a huge FAN, well, I seriously haven't liked anyone before in that regrad.
He is Sugata Mitra , a teacher, yes as simple as that, the things we ever have heard about respecting teachers, how knowledgeable they are, how they can change your life, how good a leader they can be , he is the living legend , living example of it.
With a great history, academic records, Passed out from IIT, worked in USA in research, I won't add all the details here, as everything is available at wikipedia page of his profile, AS many people find it boring too.
Also, main moto of the article is to check the awareness about him among us.
I would like to tell you in simple worlds, as my friends told me, he went to a slum, placed a computer and left it there for months, when he returned, those uneducated, illiterate kids there were surfing Internet, can you believe it?
Again, he placed the same computer thing in south India, kids there were able to speak English but in their south Indian ac sent, he installed a speech converter, which only reorganise uk accent, now can you believe after a month, kids were talking in uk accent.
He has won the 1 million prize from TED Talk for year 2013 for the same thing.
And, the amazing thing is, his experiment was the inspiration for the book- Q&A, which was the story of slumdog millionaire too.
Well, the point is, such people who are the real heroes should be know, giving you URLs for his website- Pl read and share !!
