The second most debatable issue in the avrage Indian's Life, (the first being the efficacy of our education system), is the efficacy of our education system.. (No, that's not a mistake.. I intend to emphasize the fact that the issue wins the place hands down.).
Our third semester is at it's butt's end.. our cycle tests are over.. and we are about to become 3/8ths-of-an-engineer.. and yet, some of us don't know how to use an analogue multimeter... what we do know however is how to get shiny cards (they're called grade cards) with eye-popping close-to-10 GPAs.. Yeah.. I know.. Sad... but true.. painfully true..
Meet Mr.X.
CGPA=9.11
Ambition :
(no prizes for guessing) - Software Professional
Branch: Civil Engg!
Practical Knowledge abt programming: "I can write a code to say 'Hello World!'... does that count??"
Meet Mr.Y.
CGPA=8.96
Ambition : Pilot (#&*k what was he thinking??!!)
Branch : Metallurgical Engg.
Interviewer (Me) : How many 'G' s do you think you can withstand?
Mr.Y. :Donno.. maybe around 13... 14.
Interviewer :(@#$%)!
Practical skill/knowledge is extremely scarce among the three-score-odd people who crowd my classroom everyday during the day and spend thier irate minds innovating new ways to send Short-Text-Messages in class without getting caught.. If only such talent were used toward other viable avenues.. Alas, if only our education system Permits..!!
a bunch of random thoughts that run on (probably) every average Indian's mind... read, relate and appreciate!
