The day before, I was talking to one of the old aunties who come to my church. She came over to our home, to have lunch and tell my mom about the small yet interesting discrepancies of her life. As we had our lunch, she told tales of her deceased husband and how her hair was thick and long when she got married. After the Lunch, me and Mom started clearing up the dining table, as the aunt sat and read the Malayalam newspaper, munching on some mouth freshener my Mom keeps on the dining table, just for the sake of it.
Aunty was intrigued by this one news that stated about some satellites. I was thinking that she would start ranting on how the world and its technology. Instead she asked me what is the speed of the earth, and what is the speed of moon and The correlation between Gravity and how does the satellite not collide back to the earth. I was amused, I surely was.
The same happened with one of my aunts. She went to the Taj Mahal and when she came back, all she wanted to say was that how the Taj was all dirty and lost its glamour and how it didn't look like how it does in photographs. On the other hand, when I went there with one of my younger cousins. All he asked me were all questions. Ranging from what was the love story of Akbar and Mumtaz and where was the marble imported from.
This fueled my thought process.As we grow up and strive into the frame and definition of the world. We forget to live our lives, we forget to learn more, absorb more from the infinitely huge expanse of knowledge of this world.
As we grow up, we do know the 12 months and their names, but we never bother to know why they are called so. People may say that it's a wastage of time knowing all of this random stuff. But Hey, researching about why Solange hit Jay-Z and the current relationship status of Zac Efron and Zayn Malik is pretty avoidable too.
As we grow up, we wanna learn about things that don't even matter, and aggravate curiosity about things that might not even be useful. We lose the positive curiosity that we actually need to have. And no wonder, slowly and steadily we think that the world's a small place. It isn't. IT IS NOT.
So, Hey. Do not fret. All you got to do is, the next time you get the newspaper, instead of moving over to Page 3, pick up the headlines and just read the Page 1. You shall be amazed at what all you didn't know. Trust e, I tried.
And this small step will help you to water that dormant bud of Curiosity and never let it die. ust make the right choice.
