Why I want to go back to school ?

There has been a lot of literature written about the education system in India, or I should say, about the flaws in it.But as per me , the system works fine till high school and the problem creeps in after that.
What are the problems ? What are the reasons behind ?

Well, lets go to a engg college classroom , 4 yrs, 8 semesters - and you walk out with just a degree , a good placement with a handsome compensation and the life is on track. next , lets go to a B school. 2 yrs, 4-6 semesters , more handsome package , a better marriage proposal and life is better. There lies the problem. The institutes are projected as placement agencies rather than knowledge centres. In school , we know that the aim is to gain knowledge , the best reflection of which is marks . there isnt any concept of a job after school, so a student learns - for himself , not for the job. In a college , a B school - he learns , studies for a job. He wont respect his teachers, he wont read books ( all is there on the net ), he wont attend classes, he will still expect a good job and most of the times,gets it.

I want to go to school , because I want to learn , I want to read and study for myself , not for my career progress . I want to respect my teachers again , I want to be disciplined again,I want to be kid again. I have been through two of the best institutes of this country and stays disappointed on the attitude of the students in universities.

Reasons - hell lot of them. What will happen if i won't earn ? How will I survive, my family will be disappointed. Why should i earn less than somebody else in my class ? Which are the companies visiting IIMA/IIMC on first day is in every newspaper. A middle class kid is awed by the mere thought of a 7 figure salary. its a money his father could never earn, so he will just focus on the job , not the learning. Forgetting the fact that if learning is there , job will come by itself.

My advice, go to a classroom to learn , to gain knowledge, not waiting for the placement season.respect your teachers, its the purest of the souls. The day one gives back something to the society , he/she realises the importance of life. teachers do it selflessly , at a price lesser than the peon of the MCD.

Living Vs weeding

Well , it starts on the very day you are born - people who curse you against people who bless you . there are people who can go all the way to make you happy and others , they can do anything to harm you or bring you down.
" A perfect life is when you can separate the weeds from the harvest "
All of us , being active parts of the cyber age , hardly are aware about what happens in a field . How does a farmer harvest a crop, how he separates the useful from the crap.And well , he does it quite a number of times before the harvest . The more he carries out the process , the better is the harvest.
We can draw a parallel with life too . the only thing a person has to do his weed out his enemies . The earlier , the better . The lesser weeds you have , the better is your crop . The less enemies and people who curse you are around , the better you can extract out of your life. So , start just when you are done reading the blog , start weeding out the unwanted elements from your life and wish you a good harvest.

Are MBAs even dumber than idiots ..??

Watched 3 Idiots some time back . What Amir khan or Raju heerani or Joshi wanted to say that its not necessary to do hard work . Does that mean you can't excel if you are not a born genious. Everybody then his own methods to do things , to learn and to progress in life. Amir calls suhaas , an engineer + a MBA + working in a london bank " A GADHA" . Well , again how can an idiot call a highly educated , well performing citizen a gadha ? So , preachy it was. He thinks that his ALL is Well concept will work with the educated lot of this country , a delivery can be done by some IDIOTS on a TT table, well that makes me think who is the idiot here. I guess most of us have read 5 point someone by the poor Chetan Bhagat and publicly heerani says the movie has nothing to do with it , who is the idiot ..?
Wish amir would have asked the opinion of the students of IIM where they shot most of the movie , it could have been a much better flick.. still you can watch it for pure entertainment . No serious thoughts please....
