We all have been born and brought up reading,  listening aspiring tales of our great epic ' Mahabharta '.Young Karna when he was 10 yr old , requested Great Kripacharya , after being insulted by Guru Drona ,to teach him archery.

Krip demanded 1000 gold coins as his fees. Karan and his father Adirath expressed their inability to do so.

Answer given by guru Krip was a lesson for all of us..... He said....

It seems u r not ready to pay the price for the much coveted course. You may think , I am cruel , but I am honest with you.  There are people who will offer u things free. Fear them the most , because they will demand things that are most precious to u and their demand will come at a time which is most inconvenient to u. At that time , u will realise that my offer was the best. If u have nothing useful to offer me , i will give u something equally useless.

Some English scholar , much later has restated ...There is no free lunch.

I am aghast , apartheid when i heard a local small time pygmy politician threatened a doctor for asking his legal fees for teliconsultation both in public and in police .

I am not concerned about the idioticity of the leader but i am shuddered to the core .... What type of Moron society we have created ?

Have we accepted Anarchy our fate ? or Might is right is new normal.

Dear friends... Do we want to introspect and analyse , what price we ll pay collectively?

What kind of medical advice,  u think , u ll get , when u expect it to be free.

Second,  the most essential pillar for society is Education.

People are universally demanding fees waiver by schools during lock down. 

Teachers are working extra , to impart education to our kids , on line. This on line teaching is essentially a new tool for everyone. But during this unprecedented times , its no less than a boon .Thanks to the teachers and school authorities who are essentially involved with the welfare of our students.

Do we spare a minute in thinking... if we don't pay fees , from where our teachers will be paid . How will they feed their kids. From where school ll pay their EMIs , rent , electricity bills etc.

Demanding free , only reflects my respect for education system . , A place where my kids future resides ,, i never blink twice to insult that premises .
