Goddamn Education .....

Ya its all abt education & knowledge. Rather to be more specific its abt colleges. Today saw my younger bros JEE Mains results. Sadly though, he didn't qualified. Though the last evening i warned him on phone, to better see his result on his own. I saw all his other Engineering entrance results & they were not that well.(Peculiar Indian Superstition). But as a grown up lad he asked me to do it.

And as i saw the NOT QUALIFIED stuff, there came a flashback of a time, few years back, when the same stuff happened to me. Being very protective i would say "I never eXpected it though", but truly speaking something was lacking [ hardwork obviously :P & definitely not brain ;) ]. But the lad, though younger than me but seems to have grown up, was very much clear in his mind. Not in to a world of illusion & not giving reasons for his failure. Good bros, u have really grown up.

All i m worried abt is his carrer. Thats what this post is all abt. No, not to discuss my bros carrer options, but to say something abt pathetic Indian Education system. When i didn't got qualified, even i was worried, but i got admission in a premiere Indian Institute ( Not IIT's)& luckily so (though many wont agree, am i write friends). So, is it all abt IIT's. Ok the institutes r premiere ones but i guess life doesnt end up without being a part of them. So, its not even abt being an IITian or IIITian or NITian, its abt "WHY the hell ! Is everyone supposed to end up being an engineer ( or may be a Doctor) ?????".

I guess thats how the Indian society thinks today. Being from Kanpur ( a city full of coachings "Coaching Mandi", as it is called ) i have seen 100s of students standing in long ques, under blazing sun, pouring rain & chilling winters may be to gain some knowledge or may be because there parents send them to attend these coachings just because their neigbours child was doin it. What u call : The Sheep Society ( Bhed Chal).

I know someone (Name not mentioned, to avoid all controversies & my head) who wanted to enter in to journalism but in the end landed in to Engineering. i know people who r really good in physics, Maths, literature, art or may be something else but all end up becoming a coding geek . My bros once told me that he never wanted these coachings (a miserable life) but he had to, i guess no other options. And even when he took them he was as serious as saif of Parineeta. And then he wished to go in to space technology & stuff, but i guess even now he has little options.Poor guy. Luckily, i was not such a geek :P (Space sounds like Pagalpan). It was like "Whatever comes my way".

And even know i m managing it, A Confused Weirdo : I told u earlier. Phhhhhh !! But still not getting through these IIT's stuff makes me sick, every single time. Reflecting an unsuccessful part of me.

Well what to growl on. India : My Dear Nation, u r never going to change, atleast not as long as ur in hands of some very great leaders & thinkers.

Mera mulk, mera desh, mera yeh watan
Na shanti, Na unnati (though economic reforms have done some),Na Pyaar (ahhh! Shivsena)ka chaman.........

Whatever. I know one day i will be someone which my parents dream of. And even my bros will be. Good luck DUDE.......
