Life's Tasty majedar KHICHADI - Everyday

Do many parts make the WHOLE ?
In many situations in our everyday life , one is caught up in very many smaller details and as a consequence the WHOLE is missing. ( Just my assumption !)
For example take the case of FORMAL SCHOOLING - the generally accepted norm is that Cognitive abilities are linked to ones Chronological Age and we continue to admit children to various Grades / Classes based on this .
Also, we attempt TEACHING various Subjects independently right from the earliest of stages - Nursery onwards - Mathematics, English, Environmental Studies , Moral Science etc yet
in life the problems or situations are never based or related to any one , two or three subjects.
At the end of this, one only becomes LITERATE ( as per the examinations) yet not EDUCATED !
Another issue could be - What happens if all the literate people are also Educated ?
Do all EDUCATED people are also necessarily literate ?
Experience tells us somewhat different.
An efficiently run organaisation has people of different skill sets and abilities complementing each other all the time apart from being sensitive to the situations and needs.
An excellent staged staged Play or a well appreciated movie or a closely knit family etc etc
have all the details of each and every small member of the family, play or movie along with the cohesiveness of the whole.
As if we are worried about all the different grains , water, heat, salt , spices - in details and forgetting about the properly cooked KHICHDI.
So are you really HUNGRY ? Only then go inside the Kitchen of the LIFE , look for all the relevant ingredients in right state , wash them, clean them, roast them , dissolve them partly or wholly, use the appropriate vessel , provide right amount of HEAT, let it simmer, boil, cover it up, - if not sure - open up and TASTE it to confirm -- then do all the possible tricks at the RIGHT TIME - to prepare the LIFE's TASTY MAJEDAR KHICDI - Everyday !
