Today is my second day in the refinery and I have come to work. The heat is increasing since morning. Even the workers have started coming in less numbers. Today also my posting is at the consumer store. It is 9:00 in the morning and I am posted at my post. Many thoughts are arising in my mind that what did I think and where have I reached today where I am living a life of poverty where I have no existence. Maybe I will lose my identity too. I feel that the store has opened and contractors are coming to take the goods. I have not understood till now that when the project is of the government then how are private companies working here. Well, what do I care about this? I am already very sad and do not want to be more sad, that is why I have not asked this to anyone till now. I sat on a chair outside the store and started keeping an eye on the people coming and going. It was 11:00 in the store but I did not drink tea earlier because the tea seller did not give me tea. The crowd around the store started increasing. The store employees, other contractors, I was sitting there watching everything and talking to the people coming and going, then I talked to a contractor's labourer who was from Bihar. His salary was 18000 rupees while his qualification was B.Com. I was surprised to know that a B.Com student is working here, that too for 18000 rupees for a 12-hour shift. When I asked him that if you are so educated then why are you working here, he told me, Guard sahab, unemployment is so high that good work is not available anywhere. The situation in our Bihar is very bad. It is helplessness that we are here and are happy with whatever we are getting. This thing drew my attention towards education. Education is very important in every human being's life but that education should also be used in life. When one does not get proper employment after getting education, then the person becomes more unhappy. It is better to remain illiterate than to work. It is a relief that I am not educated, that is why I have to do labour work for less money. When an educated person works more for less money, then This is no less than a curse for him. Today the situation is such that most of the money is being spent on education. Every parent wants to work as hard as possible so that their child gets a good education, but the government should also ensure proper employment after completion of education. Education is not compulsory and free in India. It is India's misfortune that even today the level of education in a country like India is at a very low level and after that the rate of unemployment is also very high because the population in India is very high. Every person should get employment according to proper education. Thinking this, I searched about education on the internet and found out that the level of education in Bihar is very low, whereas the level of education in Kerala state of India is very high, although both are states of India. In one state the education is very high, while in the other state the number of illiterates is very high. Maybe this is due to the population and geographical conditions there, but what is the government doing? When every person is not getting education, then what is the need of the government? Well, this is a very big issue.
My attention started going towards world education, whether the situation is similar outside India as well. I started searching on the internet. Now my entire focus was on the internet. After about 4 hours of hard work, I came to the conclusion that the condition of many countries is worse than India, especially the condition of education on the continent of South Africa is very bad.I picked up some paper around me and started making notes on it with a pen about the condition of education in which country. Then my vision stopped at one place that education is compulsory in very few countries in the whole world and privatization of education is done in almost all the countries with a similar system whereas in only a few countries financial aid is given to the students studying and the most surprising thing I found was that the level of education is very high in the countries of the continent of Europe and America but the star of employment is very low there i.e. if there are more educated people then unemployment is also very high there. This thing drew my attention towards the compulsory rule of employment. Is there such a rule in any country that every educated person will be provided employment? Then perhaps there is not a single country in the world where there is a law that the government will provide employment to every educated person according to his proper education. I was very surprised to know that where education is compulsory, employment should also be compulsory because every child keeps wandering here and there in search of employment after getting education. The condition of our country India is even worse. Where the population is high, there is also more unemployment and poverty. In my understanding, I was not able to understand why this is happening. On one hand, the country is making a new education policy for education, while the country does not have any employment policy. Why is this happening? I am still beyond my understanding. Who can understand this pain better than me that I am also unemployed and who can know better than me what unemployment is. If I had a government job, then perhaps my life would have been different today. The biggest reason for my situation is employment, that I do not have proper employment, due to which my whole life has been spoiled. Today I have come to know that if you want to progress in life, then it is very important to have employment. If you do not have employment, then you cannot progress in life. Along with you, your whole family will keep suffering and pain throughout life. Then a thought came to my mind that why not put an end to this problem, but how? This was also a big question. I thought that perhaps I can start from a small village, that the people there should be provided employment along with education, so that everyone can improve their standard of living and live a better life. It is 2:00 in the afternoon and It is time for me to eat. I opened my tiffin box and ate and then got on duty. The heat was so much that the food did not taste good and how would it taste good? I had cooked food at 5:00 in the morning and it is 2:00 in the afternoon now. So there is a fear of the food getting spoiled in this heat. But what to do, it is a compulsion. Where I am sitting, there is neither shade nor any means of air. It is so hot that the condition is getting worse. On top of that, so much soil flies that even if a person does not want to, he has to go through more than 1 kg of soil in a day. What to do, the situation is such. Well, whatever it is, one has to work. I then started focusing on education. I searched something on my mobile and started focusing on how to arrange for employment. How to give employment to as many people as possible because about one lakh people are working in the refinery project. If such projects are opened in every state, then how many people will get employment. But the problem is not how to give employment. The problem is that it is not possible to open a refinery everywhere. It is such a big project. A lot of money has been invested. Despite that, some geographical conditions are also seen here, this cannot be possible, I understood this. My point comes back to the same point that what is the government doing, when we have formed the government, then what is the government doing, to understand this thing more, I started learning about government schemes and the government, it was 4:00 in the evening, the tea seller came, he gave me tea today and I drank tea, absolutely rubbish tea, maybe I have never drunk such dirty tea in my life. There were many people standing outside the store to buy goods, I was talking to people there, a person whose age was 58 years was kicking big pipes on a hand cart, when he came back, I asked him that why are you working here even after being so old, you should rest at home, what is the situation that you have to do such a heavy work at this age, your officer does not know that an old person like you should be given any other work, he laughed and said, Guard sahab, helplessness makes one do everything.I asked what is the compulsion that you are staying so far away from your home and working so hard, that too at this age when your body is not supporting you. He told me that his two daughters are studying and he has to get them married. I have a son who is also studying and he also has to get married. The house in the village has become old and it has to be built new. For all this one has to work hard, who gives money just by sitting idle? I asked him that at this age you are doing this work, if you get sick and something happens to you, what will happen to your family? Have you ever thought about it? He said God will make everything alright, if there is God then he will make everything alright. I was very surprised after listening to him, I said you said that God will make everything alright, then you said that if there is God then he will make everything alright. There is a big difference between these two things. I am not able to understand what you want to say. He told me that we have nothing else except having faith in God and the world exists on this faith that God will make everything alright. After listening to his words, I felt a little good and also felt very bad. I felt good because That person is working so hard away from his family by believing in God and I felt bad because maybe God does not exist in this world. If God existed, would an old man work so hard like this? Well, I don't have time to sleep on this topic right now. Right now, I just have to think about how to bring education and employment together so that a child completes his studies and gets employment according to his education.
I was thinking this when at 5:30 in the store, breakfast came. Today, the breakfast seller did not give me breakfast. He said that breakfast is over. I said, no problem. I sat on my chair again and started searching something on my mobile phone. I was not able to understand what I was doing, but I knew that maybe I should do something that would end this problem. I don't know if my thinking is right or not because my own problems are not ending and I am constantly sinking in the swamp of problems. In such a situation, will I help any other person? But I am sure that if I have thought about it, then one day it will definitely happen because if you work hard on what you think, So that can happen and it is absolutely true. I started researching on the education system of India. It was 7:00 in the evening. The weather was getting cold. The workers were about to return. The work was about to end. So I got up and started taking rounds. I started walking around because I had to work along with sleeping. Sitting would not work. If the supervisor saw me, he would say a few things which I did not like at all. I kept roaming around till 8:00. My duty was over but no other person came in my place. Until the other person went and took charge, I could not move from my post. All the workers started leaving. The store had become very deserted. A man came and I took my bag and went towards the car. At 8:30 we sat in the car and at 9:00 we got down at Pachpadra. All the people who lived there left. I was standing on the road and taking lift from the vehicles passing by. It had been more than 20 minutes and no one gave me a lift. I was standing there waiting and started thinking that when everyone is going in that direction, what problem are people having in giving me a lift when they know that I am going there. I am returning from the refinery because I am wearing the uniform of a security guard, yet people do not stop their vehicles. Has humanity ended on this earth or is there no humanity left in humans? Every person has become selfish. No one has any interest in helping others. Every person has become helpless due to his selfishness. I was thinking about this when a motorcyclist stopped his vehicle and I told him that I have to go to Balotra. He said sit down and I left for Balotra. I reached home at 9:40, washed my hands and face, changed my uniform and ate food. Then I went to my room to sleep, but who was going to sleep? The voices of the family members were coming repeatedly. My father-in-law had started drinking alcohol. He had a very bad habit that after drinking alcohol, he shouts a lot at the family members, even beats the children. There will be no peace in the house until he eats food. I was lying on my bed and thinking about that young man that even after being so educated, he is working as a labourer. Isn't this the misfortune of our country? And what else, even after education, if a person does not get proper employment, then what is his condition, no one can know better than me, that is why I was continuously thinking about this, what should I do so that this problem ends, there is a lot of network problem in my room or there is no network, I wanted to search something on the internet but could not do it, I put the mobile on charge and slept.
