tomorrow, the last mid semester examination for the fourth semester
and i have decided
i am no longer going to live this life of a harlot when you sell your creativity for the sake of the goodwill of a bunch of newts and under-grown cabbages. There is more to my own self than petty pep talk in technical terms
there is certainly more to my intelligence and the expanse of my capabilities, and that is what we oft fail to understand and that is exactly what is most vulnerable to happen when we work in the shadows of a third party's concept of analysis
That is where the Indian problem of situations lies
That is why we do not have an effective graduation structure
We have never ever made our students capable enough to determine their own curriculum, to decide for their own what is good for them. Of course with some really good guidance, but on their own terms
Our definitions are crude, inflexible and hopelessly fragile
So we can start by rectifying it today
think about it
think about what gives you pleasure
and not in terms of pleasure alone
but in terms of it's possibilities as a life supporting profession
what would you like to do to make this world a better place for your children?
or let us not coat it in the false veneer of good or bad, let us just call it change
what change would you want this world to have that you can more than provide as the best and that which can give you satisfaction
only then will we be in true sense educated
only then we shall find the knowledge that we lost in search of sheer information
and only then shall we, find the wisdom we lost in search of the ungrateful knowledge
adios
will catch up soon :)
