Back my favourite crib subject. Men & Women! The more I read about how our brains are fashioned or how they have evolved, I cant help but shout from a roof-top asking ‘why is this not curriculum in school?’
We try our best in school to read about stalactites and stalagmites and the image is still vivid in my mind, which I first thought as mushroom growth in a cave. But that was the last I heard of it. After that in my life, there was no role for them. And many other such stuff also. Totally unwarranted as knowledge unless you want to specialize! But despite its funny shapes the stalactites did not make me a geologist.
As Arthur C Clarke once put it correctly, (when 75% of the earth is still unexplored, why go to space) we kind of know and strive to know about many things apart from what we really need in life to survive.
Go to school, they cram a Tamil rural child about Wordsworth and Keats, whereas he can’t fill a railway reservation form properly (which is now changing a bit). What’s the real point in crying about Lucy Gray or Solitude when you have to cry about your own ineptitude of filling a reservation form?
OK enough of meandering, back to the subject. These studies clearly would make one understand about the opposite sex. On how a simple statement on what a wife wants, can be construed as incompetence of providing something by the husband.
There are many such transaction level understandings / misunderstandings that can snowball into a potential divorce at later date.
When there are two genders that are made diametrically opposite and have to live with each other without killing each other, I guess it is better we teach at school about the new language. Leave Wordsworth, let us try and understand and appreciate what the other side of the bed says.
