mission accomplished?

The last editorial that i would write for my first magazine i worked for; read on




The chime of a gong.

The taste of an apple.

The smell of camphor.

These may seem natural to us. Nothing out of the ordinary. Something very mundane. In most cases, it is not even mentioned. Overseen and neglected, we have just grown accustomed to them and expect it to be like the way it has been.

But for a child who has bequeathed this world of wonder, these insignificant and insipid details form the source of unlimited amazement, astonishment and joy. Since babies cannot speak early on and we are acclimatized and adjusted to the pure bliss and delight the world around us offers; our literature is lacking, without these excitements and exhilarations.

On the other hand, if a child could express in words everything she witnessed and if we could listen to it; all of us would have had a chance to revisit our childhood in full. The feeling of joy, glee and cheerfulness might have rubbed off on us.

Global Education Center has been a brain child and dream of Narayan Murthy. GEC has just celebrated its first birthday. We, at GURUKUL (metaphorically: still toddlers at Infosys) try to bring to you the failures, the disappointments and the achievements, the victories, the triumphs that GEC stumbles on at every barrier, hurdle and opportunity in its most honest form, with the same excitement, exhilaration, innocence and inquisitiveness of a child; so that all can take pride and pleasure in the joy, glee, pain, sorrow, cheerfulness and every other emotion felt at GEC, the child.

Please do not hesitate in giving us your valuable and much needed feedback, as we at Gurukul and GEC are in our learning and habit forming years.

Thank you and happy reading!
