Basic knowledge is lack in present children
Many of the present children are bright in many activities as expected by their parents. Some children got big big cups and medals in Abacus, etc., It is on one way happy to everyone.But some basic knowledge is very much lack in them.
Last week a boy of 26 years old came from US, who is a son of my friend. Along with him, his parents and myself went to some function at Tanjore side of Tamil Nadu in their car. He only drove the car for a quite distance and his driving found very great for his age. I appreciated him for this. After some distance he gave his driving to his mother and he was sitting with me by talking casually. Amidst I showed coconut trees to him and asked whether he could see such trees in his place of USA. I got shocked from his reply as he asked me what was the tree?. I told him, 'Hey you have studied your all education in India, that too in Tamil Nadu, Don't you know about the coconut tree and palm trees?'. Before I got reply from him I got second but severe shock from his father, 'What is the necessity for him in knowing such things, he is a computer expert, you know?'
