I think the situation is similar to that of "the charge of the light brigade". the opposition is so enormously powerful and u have only a few ways of self defense (leave alone attack...!!!).
The Two Towers. people of rohan waiting for the innumerable orks coming towards them. all the fighters are not even trained soldiers; some are kids, old people, farmers, workers. the long wait in the rain...u can hear their footsteps from a long distance. the last hope is still in ur heart. maybe we can get through this.
why is education being kept in chains like this? why cant it be free? why has it become a nasty war, butchering minds like anything?
are the complains due to weakness?
i thought education was for filling ur minds with light, not with tension and fear. but thats what it is doing. how many of us REALLY studied chemistry or physics or mathematics truly from our hearts and not for getting into some renowned institution? we just mug up formulae with the hope that we might b able to use them in exams. maybe that works. but is that education? maybe it will help u to get a tag which will say that u r educated...but is that it?
after 2 years of tuitions and notes and xerox copies and fat books, i feel that i hv learnt very little. i hardly felt physics or chemistry and thats why it is getting so difficult to prepare for exams like iit. we r taught things becoz they r going to come in exams. some of my friends dont even know what they will study after school finals. they just say i want to go to jadavpur university or iit. marks, ranks have taken away the beauty of the subjects. and noone can complain coz they ensure good future(money, jobs, etc).
maybe i m saying this coz i m losing the rat race. it may not be so.
we think so little about the subjects. instead we mug up...anything and everything!
but thats the way things go.
i have little chance tomorrow. i started preparing late. lets see what happens.
even if i manage to get through it, my views will not change.
bye.
