Puminant

Phase of Rumination

Have you noticed a cow sitting peacefully chewing the cud during the wind blows!
Here is wikipedia definition for rumination.
Physiologically, a ruminant is a mammal of the order Artiodactyla that digests plant-based food by initially softening it within the animal's first stomach, then regurgitating the semi-digested mass, now known as cud, and chewing it again. The process of rechewing the cud to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called "ruminating".

Education is also like food, when we are in this process we are incapable of digesting the whole lessons. But in order to pass the exams, we make sure that we keep it nicely in our conscious mind.The things which are kept in conscious mind but not learnt thoroughly come again to us through the lesson of life, and we chew the cud hence, this time it goes and sits in our subconscious minds, and finally we get the best out of it, and finally it goes to our unconscious mind, ultimately becomes your very nature, your personality.

I think I am going through this phase of my life.
I had read many poems, many moral stories, many things about physics, chemistry and Maths, but never cared about their deep meaning. Now the same moral of the stories I am learning, same gist of poems I am learning by my heart, which once I have mugged up and kept in my mind.
I thank my mom that at least I have mugged up and kept the things in my conscious.
