Concerto

"Bangla" is legal. It is called "Country Liquor". So what? Does that change in name make it purer or change the ratio of mixing its contents ? Short in cash is the sole reason for one to drink that. A little more he earns, a little higher he moves in the business of alcohol. The change of the name only helped it to pass in society or printed media. Its like the hierarchy of our financial/social system. The lower you go the more astonishingly stupid excuses you get to make something legitimate. Its like superstitions. Only superstitions are not originated from the old dead files and folders.


In every social level the problems are the same. But the way of handling them are different. So is it money or education that is more important? You need money to get educated and vice versa. Its like the water cycle taught in the school.


Education holds good in the long run, on an average . To get its fruit you need to invest a minimum of 15 years. Else it would be useless. It is normal that you need to have a good patience as well a good roof over your head. What the hell will someone do by having at least primary education? To count or to know which side is east etc can be taught without a school. The job you will get with that primary education, wont be more than what you can earn without going to a primary school. But "school" is more of a tag name nowadays. Their is also a deadline to start. Like you cannot just admit your child in any class you like and give the necessary pre education in home. You are redundant. You are for those clubs and social gatherings and friends and alcohol. Schools encourage you to be so. Well its not entirely true that you will be redundant. You can teach him, but for the degree you are bound with the school rules.


Money is a plenty out there. You have some to spare, i have some to spare. On top of that there are charities, rich people, live shows etc. The flow of money for the poor is constant. But the question is were are all these money going to? Do we here also have a water cycle? Not a single slum has vanished. But a lot of people got job and earned more money in the process of collecting money! Is there any logic to pour water in a bucket when you know that it has a hole? Throwing away money will help you pass time. It will also get you a good night's sleep and some hours peace thinking that you have done a good job. But the net result will be zero. There is no meaning in keeping crores in your vaults and then securely shout in favor of the poor. That shout will last as long as you have your savings secured.


In the end alcohol joins money and education to make a concerto. After the music probably they would sit together and see the sun set. They don't ride horses. Where ever they want to go, one or the other has already been there.
