00:00Achaiji, my question is related to the chapter, The Jungle in a Neck Time.

00:04Is education about making a living or having a life worth living?

00:08So, everyone is so deeply conditioned that they will be opting for orthopedic, surgery, medicine, which are selling in the society.

00:18We want to become neither doctors nor engineers or anything else.

00:26Yes, it's not as if we like a particular field or a certain branch.

00:38We like nothing, nothing at all.

00:43I'm talking of the way our beloved country is.

00:46Because we are just so afraid that we want to get away from our current position.

00:58That's the way our upbringing, our culture, our education is.

01:03The media, the society, everything.

01:06You are given an image to pursue.

01:10That image shows you enjoying life in the States, United States.

01:16Right?

01:16That image is everything.

01:18And where does that image come from?

01:20That image comes from a deep-rooted fear.

01:25When you are afraid, you can't love.

01:27When you are afraid, you can't be creative.

01:30Even Indians who are doing well abroad,

01:35very few of them are innovators or creators.

01:38We do well in operations roles.

01:44But when it comes to being disruptive,

01:47you won't find Indians there.

01:50All that we want is a safe and settled life.

01:55That's the worst concept you can subscribe to in life.

02:00Settling down.

02:00What does that mean?

02:01Settling down.
