Murder of Tallent

 We often discuss about own or someone's tallent. It is a particular quality in a person to perform something ;directly related to intelligence of a said person. 

In this  short..written work I am going to tell murder of tallent..I met that person after long time.. how much? It is decade ago..  it was our childhood when I introduced with him and his tallent in the clay art. It was a tiny but historically important city in Bhandara district .My father got transferd there ; it was a rice city in British era  and presently producing on high content this Area  having smooth and silty clay of Holy river Wainganga.  He was my batchmate upto 4th standard then we left that city. 

 In those days there was a special period in curriculum Work experience in which the student has to submit some handwork like clay arts ; paper work drawing and cardboard work etc i think it was the Gandhiyan effect on curriculum.  As Bapu highly promoted physical activity in curriculum to nurtur the soul of students 

Some persons promot games for fitness but it is expensive idea while work experience has been connected with society.  Some schools and interested teachers has been promoted gardening in their respected schools hence there was a very nutritional environment in then schools. I also worked with the Said guy who is in the role of Hero in this work. 

Those were the days of 1995 when we made so many thinks with clay Cow and elephant are my favourite animals but he was master in that art. He has been gotten admiration of teachers always. I learnt much more from him. Sunday was  the decided day for practice of clay arts when would be Cricketers practicing we also own hence study baddly hitted. 

Month of march famous as march ending...for us it was syllabus ending and The celebration of Holi festival and annual exam.. and Perntial annoying also "Padho baith kar warn tannge tod deng 🙁😣😔"

And this ending was also famous for submission of co curricular activities of Work experience.  It had been a moment of lottery for those who have Grandpa granny and elders brother and sisters at home thsese creaters had been working for them hense these Creaters always been proved lucky as they were always getting good marks in work experience. 

When my father had got transfer for another city in the same year The Hero of this story won the 1st price in Talluka level Clay art competition but lost the annual exam and promoted to next class. I came to know this when I visited the same city in General election 1996 with my parents. When the examination over I had been sent compulsorily to my Maternal grandpa's village for the whole summer.

When I met him in the election year He had achieved the upper level of the said art. He shown me some trophies. But suddenly started  to cry because that was the last visit of mine but i could  understood at that time he wanted to share something but suddenly his father came and asked me about my father as both were in same government office but in different department. I could spend some more time with him my father had sent  someone to call me back.

So many years passed and Hero Met me in an idol shop to book Ganesha idol.  I picked him through his special kind of handling Clay idol.  We hugged each other Before he could say something I pinched him with Question Hey I thought this is your Exhibition???? Why u r buying idol.. He shocked with some tears and  answered I think I could!!! We booked respected idols and went to celebrate This event on the eve of Ganesh chaturthi as we usually met in childhood. I strictly remememberd the last meeting I asked him what he wanted to  tell on the day of election but he couldn't.  I forced him for several times . Then he gathered some courage and started to to tell when he won another  1st prise he became favourite of the subject teacher . The said teacher had already discovered an artist in him and went to admire his parents. Parent welcomed the teacher and after it  started to harrass him to focus only on study hence he could become the person of their like for which parents  often dream for their child . both we become emotional I controlled myself and asked him why not he could kept it with studies? He explained further that "Hey you know..  I was below evrage student" so it was so hard for me.." I forced again him and gave so many examples But he became more emotional I asked again He explained further Once the subject teachers came to his father to ask him to take me state level Exhibition his father became angry and Pinched the ear of Hero in the presence of teachers asking him Hey silly boy!! Do you want to become Tagore??? Hero started to cry . teachers had to left after this big mishap Hero never touched clay.. I had studied child psychology in  Bachelor of education I concluded that this incident left a permanent mark on Heroe's subconscious mind of fear and  he couldn't focused on study properly  as he could  never in the past.

His father was right at his stage but his way was wrong that was the  age of children where they introduce with the history and at the level of 10th class they able to know more about Gurudew Tagore( As all we know him).How could Hero  generalise taunt regarding Tagore. And tottly forgotten about his fingers which smoothly molding clay into attention highking things. 

I have been thinking that the Hero would have  became an artist one I shall ask him for an autograph. But i found the tallent murdered brutly by the only  wordi weapons

Who were responsible?

Did the teacher? Who picked up his tallent and promoted him?

Did the father? Who expected another great thing in his thought? Who  impressed the field another than art.

Did the unaware ness of Hero who could not explained his likes before his father ?

Did the education system lacking of psychologicalpractices at that time?

Or the fear of society which have been condemning Art and artists? 

What do you think?
