Learning and studying

 Learning and studying 

😂

I will make it ‘simple’ 🙏

( Not my problem, if “simple is not always easy” ….in this case too, for any reader, in grasping the distinction between the 2😥🙏)

My mom died an illiterate 🙏 ( zero scope for “studies” ….the way literacy is ‘structured’ in the design of “education” in schools 🙏)

She ‘learnt’ telugu very well. Well_enough to become inter-woven seamlessly with telugu_born locals at Hyderabad 🙏. ( Probably, ‘how to learn’ was an inherited karma, in her, when her elder sister-----also an illiterate , wedded before puberty ----managed to learn Telugu+ sanskrit well enough to pose a formidable threat to pandits in Sanskrit, experts in the ancient tarka_shastra, at a remote village ‘inkoluu’ ( near Chirala, Andhra Pradesh) 🙏

I ‘studied’ telugu as a subject(2nd language) at school, from 4th to 12th, and even ‘passed’ with good marks😜🙏👍👍

But I never managed to ‘learn’ the language, except for faltering with even the ‘working knowledge’ level required for basic/primitive communication with Telugu_only_peepals/People 😜🙏.

Matter over.

Switch on your “already available+ inbuilt Sense_of_discrimination”, if at all your priorities permit your mind to ‘perceive’ the distinction judiciously 🙏

Studiously yours,

Postscript 

 A joke...

Kids of rich guys try to Study swimming at a swimming school, but are hesitant to jump into a turbulent river to swim across.

Whereas,

An illiterate kid of a poor fisherman 'learns' enough swimming ( naturally) to wade through powerful waves at the shores of a mighty Ocean 😜

 An honest confession:

My tribal Brethren in deep African jungles are ....

*_hundred times better Learned than me(🙏), about  mother_nature, when they live_with nature, because I have only_studied nature in my school, as a subject "nature study & hygeine"_* 😞
