I am tempted to narrate some stories. There is a Sanskrit language story of a boy who learnt astrology. He weant to king's court with his father. The king tried to test his knolwdge. He asked what was in his hand. The boy found out astrologocally that the king had something round shaped with some hole. He quickly told. The king joyously asked- Correct. Now tell what is exactly this. The boy said- ginding machine. He could not even understand that the grinding machine was too big to hide in hands. The king had a ring in his palm. This shows that knowledgeable person may not be intelligent.
another story. a very learned man crossed a river in a boat. He asked the boatman if he knew Sanskrit. The boatman replied- No. Then 25% of your life is wasted- said the man. Nest he asked if he knew mathematics. The boatman did not knbow. He was illiterate. As illuck would have it, a fierce storm and heavy rain disbalanced the boat. The boatman asked- Do you know swimming? No- said the learned man. Boatman said- Your whole life is waste.
Everyone has knowlege. But all knowledge is not useful everywhere. Where swimming is needed, maths, Sanskrit, Vedas are of no use.
You are intelligent if tyou can use your knowledge correctly. You are intelligent if your knowledge is practical.

Inter linking of Godavari and Krishna already completed. Of course other proposals to link the rivers in the state are in progress. Both Srikakulam and some districts are the beneficiaries, which were prone to Famines.

True. The role of parents and teachers is vital. As you said experience acts like a chisel in sharpening the intellect.

vijay replied to the topic why PHD qualified apply for peon job?.
I read today that the government sector today is able to offer only about 9% of all jobs but perhaps it offers 100% security and pension after retirement two very vital reasons why even Phd's are tempted to apply even for a peons job. Pathetic but true.

The interlinking of rivers is a dream dreamt by many even before independence. The problem is when people tend to give entire credit to the person during whose tenure te project gets completed. Could such big canal have been conceived,dug and implemented in the one year rule of Chandrababu? Let us give credit to all during whose such projects got conceived and executed. It will reduce the bitterness in our society. I am also very happy that Godavari and Krishna rivers have been connected. So much water is available in Indian rivers and such interconnections are very necessary and a way out to combat famine and arrest unfortunate suicides by hapless farmers.

@Usha and Rambabu
I am touched by your kind words and I am
grateful to both of you! I am not humble
but have been forced to be so! If Sir Newton
was picking up pebbles on the seashore,I
wonder how many thousand light years away
am I even from the seashore! All we are
in pursuit of excellence here!

Chinmoy is altogether in different league. I envy his writing skills and erudition. Above all his humility. Many a time he said that he was a Learner.
To sum up he is Excellence personified.

@ chinmoy, That was a fine example you gave ...In fact I wondered why a person who is able to complete his PHd should be so hard pressed for a job? and by the way very few can come up to your level with regard to the fluency and complexity of the English language I am learning all the time !
