100 Years are Still 100 Years Back

We human can never know the nature of the world; its mysteries and its miracle. We can never defeat the mysterious nature, and we can never understand this. And the fact is we cannot change nature; its work and its fate.  Everything is predestined and programmed like it should be, they say. For example, a Malaysian airplane has been missing for months now and is difficult to track. How satisfactory equipped we are? What developed technologies do we have? We will have to follow the law of nature. Everything succumbed to Mother Nature.

Humans think that we are moving ahead. Our sciences and technologies are conquering the world. After 100 or more years, there would be technology that could build a beautiful house when you press a button. Everyone would have wings to fly. Everyone would have robots to work. People would become so lazy that they would be resentful switching a button. ETC…  But these 100 years are still 100 years backward. For example, we cannot create another earth. We cannot lengthen our life after 100 years or so. We cannot deny the fact, that the truth is truth, and we cannot deny the almighty God.  

Nature is so original. We human duplicate what was already there. We try to change that original natural thing, which in turn destroys us. The pure gold is stained and tarnished. I think we are making ourselves complicated because we are not able to understand the basic nature of nature.  One thing we must understand is we cannot go beyond the will of anyone; be it person, nature or god. We are doomed.

Exam Time

Darla school exam starts today. Students are cracking their brains inside the rooms. It is their outcome for a year’s learning in the school. I wish them a bit of good luck. And it is good for students as students will be getting a long winter vacation. And this will be the busiest time for teachers as we have to do lots of correction….alas!

Our School Caretaker

There are people who work and never complain and there are people who have nothing and still work. Such is a man in my school who works and never grumbles of anything. He is our school caretaker, Mr. Tsagay.

We know in every school, the caretaker is a very important person. Mr. Tsagay is the caretaker of our Darla Middle Secondary school. He is a very good man. He not only helps students but also shares the responsibility of running the school. There are three caretakers in the school. Mr. Tsagay is the oldest in the school. He has been in the service of this school for the last fifteen or more years.

Mr. Tsagay is popularly called ‘Aue Tsagay’ which means brother Tsagay. He is a real brother to the school, without him the school will become handicapped. He wears a clean blue sleeve and pants when he is on duty.

He is a very hard-working and punctual. He is always the first to arrive at the school and he is the last to go. He opens rooms of the school principal, staff, and there, and dusts them clean. He is sincere and regular in his work. He is a willing worker. He is a slave to duty. If anyone calls him for any kind of work, he would be willing to come and help.

He takes various notices, letters, and other circulars from the Principal to teachers. He keeps the school Notice Board up-to-date.

He is a well-rounded person. He knows many things. Not only he takes care of the school but he also works as a gardener, electrician, carpenter, etc. He is a jack of all trades. Because of all these he deserves a huge salary.

He works very hard but his pay is less. By looking at his so many works, he must be paid more than any other high-ranking government worker. He does not expect any personal reward from the teachers. Because the teacher themselves are poor too.

The last time he worked with some electric wires outside the school compound and he got an electric shock. He was immediately taken to Gedu hospital. And these days he is complaining about abdominal pain and weakness. Everyone feels sorry for him.

All teachers and students like him. He always presents a smiling face. By his loyalty and honest work, he has made himself an indispensable to the school.
