  4) Hope stands beside you when you envision the future.
  5) We all need friends & family in our life.

  A comment on Conversation: We must teach the teachers before teaching students.

  Oct 8 2011: In my country i have experienced my school & college teachers(all professionally trained) never used to update them self.They go on teaching whatever is in the curriculum like they were teaching when they started teaching in there life. On thing i observed was the students knew this fact.As most of them just want to pass the threshold they don't care that much. But when they realize that all they need in life to get educated is themselves, they get decoupled by the teaching system and learn on there own or all together themselves stop updating.Resulting in a circle of old ritualistic education. If this would have been different , the pace of development might have changed, but at least it doesn't dips down.
  The problem starts when the untrained & low par teachers educate the people in the rural or poor localities. The scenario there changes. I have made a point to study this point in future.
  But for a much better future, Teachers have to be a student for there teaching life.They have to realize that.(Most teachers will give a blind eye to this point in my country)

• A comment on Conversation: What are three things you believed as a kid, that you stopped believing as you got older?

  Oct 8 2011: 1. I used to believe the world is only what & whom you interact with.That was all for me.Until i started reading & stumbled on Internet. That was for good.
  2. To know something you always need a Teacher or a organization.But thanks to knowledge itself i know it is not so.
  3. You have to go a particular way only in which the society has decided the paths. Now i realize that no, its the courage i& confidence in oneself i can change & create my own route & there are routes which are not preferred but were always there.
  4. Vegetables are not edible for me. After trying to learn to cook, its amazing how much variety you get.

• A comment on Conversation: How can imagination lead to innovation?

  Oct 8 2011: I agree with Salim that curiosity is the mother of innovation. Imagination comes next to Curiosity before innovation.Imagination lets one give a face, a form, a base to the curiosity.By imagining any idea we can see in our mind itself whether it will work or what we get if we do something like that..
  Even when we are collaborating on something we are giving the idea a base to be worked on which is common to the team.Imagination provides a base for the innovation to happen.
