Honestly I would think how could someone learn to unlearn. Even a couple of months back when I was watching a show of Sa re ga ma pa where Kaushiki referred to it about the Famous singer Shubha Mudgal who had mentioned in an interview that you learn all the ragas and then you unlearn and come to stage when you perform I couldn't relate to it as much.
Its not that I had not heard of this concept before but then I could never relate to it.
However this took A LITTLE PLACE in my mind.
And now I dont know what happened to me yesterday the Learn to Unlearn struck me in a big way.
How did it strike? I was talking to 3 close friends separately through a busy work day in different moments in different context and in all my conversations we were talking about the so called Dos of life.
The fact that you go to school, then college, then get a job, get married, have kids, buy house, buy car, give your kids education, plan for retirement and then feel content and then die.
So my question was between my tini tiny grey cells who taught us these concepts? May be mom, dad, relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors, acquaintances or may be people who has no name for the so called relations of life.
Now after learning all this what happens? You pursue them or you dont pursue them. I am a mathematics student in my heart and a science one in my brain and I believe everything is usually 0 or 1. Binary fascinated me from the time I got introduced to the world of black screen computers with white font number one and number 0 popping up on the press of a key. But I have a strange sense of Shades of Grey (Not the 50 shades of Grey or may be. I have still not read the book so not going to comment on it)
I always get carried away from something that I want to say and that is exactly what is happening right now. I have to pull myself to what I want to say. Sometimes I have so much in my mind that I dont know what my mouth is saying so my heart just gives a signal I am keep quiet.
Lets come back to what I want to say here. So I tried to learn and do some of the learning part. Big Question now. Did I enjoy them? Not sure. I don't think I ever enjoyed going to school. I never went to college regularly but I enjoyed each day of my college life. Did it benefit me? Yes it did. But how do I know may be not doing the learning would have benefited me also. I don't know about that. I never ventured that. I was or am still guarded to venture anything new. Anything that holds me off guard, it does hold me back.
Next Step - Now what, I have learned to do most of the things that I was taught and I did them fairly well, at-least I would want to think in that way. But now a lil Payal says within (in my heart) unlearn everything that you have learned, and see what happens. How this is going to be I dont know. Its a thought only. Till the time I write again, Adios my blog.
PS - I had to write it today so that I can put the date on stamp when it happened to me. I think its a good idea. Dont you? :)
