कितने अजनबी हो गए है हम
दूर से भी झलक नही देखते
कभी पास थे इतने एक दुसरे मैं झलक थे ढूँढ़ते
तुझे तो रुक्सत कर दिया
तेरी यादों को रुक्सत करू कैसे
मेरे हर लम्हे मैं है तू ख़ुद से जुदा करू कैसे

Practical knowledge
At present we are emphasizing bookish knowledge a lot. But the need is for practical knowledge. A person who has only theoretical knowledge cannot attain success. Our government must do something about this because bookish knowledge is little knowledge and it is rightly said that little knowledge is a dangerous thing. A person having work experience can become more successful than a mere degree holder.
Practical knowledge will make us independent. It also helps us to know all sides of a chosen career. Students will become ready for their work mentally and physically. Then they must devote their full interest and time in their work. For this purpose it’s very much necessary that education should be free from the hands of the politicians. Government must think seriously about practical education for students rather then thinking about the privatization of education. Only proper practical knowledge along with book knowledge can prepare us for a better future life.
