Conundrum of deciphering the Exams..

I have always wondered how come? Why is it so? Exam have always been a bouncer to me nothing much to hide is there? Though even I have had first class distinction stamped on my marks card all the way till my engineering. I have never liked the idea of testing a person’s suitability to… coming to that what are you testing during exams? Is it your understanding of that issue, is it your memory power or is it how long a person can write? Beats my understanding. Shouldn’t these entire exams test how suitable are you to work in this present world, how a person can adapt & learn new things. Can he do a task given to efficiently & etc shouldn’t these be criteria’s for judging?

I have seen people who have hardly any understanding of the subject and they score excellent marks, and believe me they will even forget that subject as fast as they mugged that subject. So what is the whole idea about?

Many people are vehemently opposing the removal of exams for students till Xth or even XIIth. I support it completely. Just think about it. I understand it’s a competitive world but why do you people want to push that poor kid in to the Bloody muddle. This initiative gives young talent time to understand himself and choose his own path for their future. I have seen how people were taking PCM in XIIth just because other people are taking it. Sames the case with Engineering..even the latest craze of MBA blindly follow the bandwagon. Welcome to the rat race.

I support Kapil Sibal for this initiative. Just wondering why can’t we have the same in professional Courses also??

love for hours of dusk

Late nights have always been the best things that have ever happened to me; needless to say engineering, during work even now during masters I have always had an affair with late nights. Be it exam time, on a zombie work day or online chatothon nights, it is the time I reach my reach my best. Strange!! But do think about it, that’s the only time you are totally free & that is the time you have for yourself liberated from all the worlds trouble. The silence of the night whispers in your ears.

These hostel days have only reinforced my love for hours of dusk. Insomniac you say.. I see the aspect in a different light. Night brings you the opportunity to spend time for yourself. Yesterday I was feeling bored at around 3 AM, I decided to go on a small night stroll, believe me it’s an experience you must have in chilling winters. As you walk the cold wind strokes me with gentle affection. The chillness of the wind brings an electrifying wave throughout your body. But the walk continues.. the careless ambling lost soul trying to solve its way through the puzzled world. The time you actually start noticing the surroundings the things that you might never have noticed that it existed all this while.

Then you put head down somewhere and start the “Star Gazing”, remembering all the childhood notions that are attached your memory, at least for me it moves like a wonderful movie. Childhood dream of becoming an astronaut one day. The best part is all the world around you changes and the only thing that stays the same is the sky with the twinkling little stars in it.

Night also brings the chance to dream.. the ability that makes us human. Start exploring your nights believe me u’ll also fall in love with it just like me.
