Changes to Adapt

Change is life, change is progress. I guess, I had expressed my thoughts on this long ago, maybe 4 years back from now. Life has changed drastically in the meantime, progress or not, have seen the beauty of life to its fullest. Beauty in what sense would leave to the wise readers, fit it as per your experiences in life.

Changes come in the hard way mostly, if we are able to tackle the transition period then the fruits are sweeter than previous. Might not be true in all cases but fits in most ones. The bigger the changes are, the more struggles it demands. When we are determined to change something from the roots, we need the strength to uproot it. Damage is seen, needs some work to heal for what we gonna plant again, and extra nutrition for it to adapt.

Recently, a drastic change has been brought to the existing education system. It's effective this year, the students as well as the guardians are in a great dilemma on how to adapt. As the previous ones have been old they need some changes that's for sure but the current one is more than the common people’s digestion power at a time. Our batch has faced changes in our time too, we were in a dilemma on how to get familiar with the new techniques as well, but with time everything got normalized. It just takes proper training and practice to make everyone comfortable with the changes instead of unhealthy criticisms. So the current changes are also being criticized by many, mostly by the old-fashioned guardians. I do welcome any logical changes, the lawmakers aren’t fools, they must have done some research that is way beyond our understanding (for good I assume) and so we are not getting the actual lesson instead of the troubles.

Lemme give you a tiny example. Today, there was an electricity cut for almost 8 hours. Why? Because the meter that is used for electricity calculation has been changed by the respective authority to a digital one. Previously, there used to be a paper copy delivered to our houses at the end of the month, we would go to the nearest banks to deposit that money, and then the hassle of going to the physical banks has been eradicated by online transactions. But now, they have solved the issue of delivering the bill copies at our houses too, they implemented a recharge system to avoid the user's maintenance and hassle of few customer’s due habits. From postpaid, they moved to prepaid systems, it's good for them as well as the customers in some specific senses. From now on, the tendency to save electricity will increase, even if it's tiny. So due to the maintenance work, we were out of service for such a long time. It bugged me a lot as I need to stay on my computer throughout the whole day and we don't have an ips, we don't need that as well on normal days. As it's done, things gonna be smooth.

There could be more examples of such changes that are done in our favor but the temporary demarrage needs to be accepted. Instead of finding faults in the transition period, we need to focus on the previous and new products. If there are any drawbacks then it should be addressed for sure.
