Does being knowledgeable about something make us narcissistic and unmindful of others’ opinions?
Doesn’t not welcoming or accepting someone else’s better judgement make us appear conceited?
Is being well-read and/or well-informed a plausible excuse to thwart peoples’ beliefs?
Everyone’s need and inclination is different. Is imposing our views on anyone correct?
Is theoretical knowledge enough to make anyone worldly-wise?

Knowledge is a less understood word…. one knowledge comes from education that we get…. this type of knowledge is questionable but found every where today…. I remember few lines which tell the reality:
“I was born Intelligent, but Education ruined me”……
Exactly. One can choose to believe that he has learned a great deal by acquiring a certain qualification, but the truth remains that books cannot teach us everything.
Don’t we need to give credit to people who are well-versed without so-called elitist education?
yes…. we need to ….real knowledge comes from many factors not only education…. evening traveling teaches us a lot….
Right. A travel book can inform you about a culture but you can feel a connect with it only when you feel or experience it. Book is a book aftet all!
yep… thats why someone said “Dont tell me how much educated you are, tell me how much you have traveled….”
Hmmm. Travel has its own charm. There’s nothing like going out there and living it out. ☺
very true…….. and I love that…..
Me too. ☺
???????????????? yea it’s so refreshing…
Did you see my new post on trip to sand dunes in jaisalmer….
I clicked on it but the images were taking too long to load. Didn’t see it
Dekh Lena… I stayed in a village there and it was so peaceful …. I have planned to go there again…
Sure I will. Thanks. ☺
???????????????? OK…
Have you seen Hitchy’s blog? He’s an avid traveller too.

You might enjoy.
Let me check…. Is he also from india
Yes. Lives in Gujarat.
Aha I have planned a road trip to Gujarat next year… 4800 kms in total.. self drive
Cool. ☺☺????????
You should also plan… Come and join us…
Na.. Not possible for me. Can’t travel with kids. After a couple of years may be. All the best to you! ☺
Thanks…. But you shld learn to travel with them… That way they will also learn a lot and gin in confidence…
Hmm…that’s true.
Himmat karo…. ????????
Haan ji. ☺
Phir plan kar lo… My itinerary is final….
You go ahead. My planning needs a lot of details smoothened. It isn’t easy. I have an extended family too to look after.
OK…. ????????
do you have a facebook page….
I do..but its linked to my personal account and it is deactivated due to some personal reason. So, effectively my page isn’t visible too. ????
oh ok…… you deactivated your account…..
Ya…had done it before almost a year..now it has been some 4 months
Your post has more of our talk now… ????????????
????????????????
So you don’t have any other way of social connection other than this … ????????????????
Isn’t this enough? ????????????
Aha… Is there anything called enough in this world… Wise bhi people come here to read your lovely thoughts not our chat…????????????
???????????? I’m too lazy to maintain different profiles and accounts. What to do. We can chat here. Simpler. ????????
actually kabhi kabhi personal discussion ho jate hain and they become public…
Hmmm…the fact that they are public keeps the discussion from getting too personal. One is watchful. ????
OK, but still you shld delete irrelevant ones, this will keep your blog professional… ????????????
Hmmm ☺
Gmail hai…
Kisliye zarurat hai uski?
I don’t need…???????????? Usmein Google plus hiya hai… ????????
????
????????????????????
baaki aapki marji…..
varsh…perspectives vary from people to people…and it takes time, to understand this fact, i.e. there is not a single”right” in a case..the directions of “right” may be varying.. once we are able to understand this, we start respecting others view also….
i can say proudly that i gained this insight from this blogosphere…
Yes. Two different perspectives about the same thing can also be right. How many people are prepared to accept it though? A scholar will always assume he knows better than a common man even if the common man’s belief or perspective is well-backed and well-informed.
Knowledge is information. And information is of all sorts. Acceptance to learn from experiences, opinions and differences is what makes one knowledgeable. I believe literary knowledge is just one small segment of what the universe holds.
Right, Rekha. Although it is mostly the supposedly learned literary people who have most confined theories and approaches.
Knowledge is vast and everywhere. Even a child sometimes can teach us things we don’t know about. It is all about being humble enough to accept that we can’t be all-knowing.
Life through situation teaches us so much that isnt there in books.
That’s true.
School gives us the tag of being educated. Learning and knowledge is a life long process be it from children, experiences, travel or anything for that matter. Actually a common man may have more knowledge than a graduate from one of the most reputed educational institute.
The sad part is that we depend more or less on these tags to decide who is more knowledgeable. There are lots of things that can teach us things no book ever can. Life lies outside those pages!
Agree with you totally!
We don’t understand such things early on in life. It is with experience that we realise the worth of gaining knowledge from life.
That’s why I have always encouraged my children to pursue knowledge not marks.
I try to do the same. Hopefully they will retain this piece of advice for their own good!
No .. I think more than knowledge one needs to have common sense..
And those who have common sense can learn a lot in life from the experiences. ..
Books are written by someone .. who may not have common sense..
Perfect! Common sense as it is said is most uncommon. People with bookish knowledge sometimes lack understanding about the most mundane things.
