The education system of ranks

-


It is unilateral thinking to judge a student based on his rank in a particular examination. It does not fit well with the current system which is multidisciplinary in nature and even though there is a lack of diversity in quality across cities, towns, and villages. The student’s socio-economic background is completely out of the picture in this system of ranking people. No relative progress is observed. More so, if the student genuinely not interested in detailed studies, society will ensure that he will be shamed. This is done by hailing the toppers and the students who even scored moderately will lose their worth. The biggest drawback is that somewhere from inside the student is shattered and his confidence lay low. The toppers will make them feel so & teachers, relatives will push this down the throat by continuous reminders, biased attitude and so on. There is no sync and it is systematically designed to act like this every single year. No one cares how much guidance the student is undergone. No one bothers what the child wants. And there is a crisis of decision making as the students are in a dilemma to choose their next course.

What is needed is personal counseling, admiring the person's abilities and opening ways for him in such a way that the students feel excited to pursue it. There must be zero shaming to any profession. All must sound equal in terms of prestige and its contribution to society or the nation. No single profession will make you a hero, no single profession will lower your status – Everyone is equal.

Our visit to Shanti Bhavan - Nagpur

Today we visited an old age home - Shanti Bhavan, Mother Teresa Ashram in Nagpur. The realization that there are complicate things happening around us was clearer today. The ashram has around 160 old age and disabled people living there. Ashram is doing great in terms of taking good care of the people. There are people in Nagpur who are visiting to the Ashram in most Sundays just to take care of the people for an hour or two, as for example I met a surgeon today, he told me that he visits here every Sunday to take care of the cleanliness of the oldies. My Experience Today? It was good. There are innocent people who are abandoned from their family. This ashram is taking care of them. I felt real proud in been engaged with such an NGO group and to those who are responsible for my upbringing that I am able to take decision & spend my time here, here with these people. At first I was just standing outside of the ashram, I had little idea of what is inside, what is the environ...

Ride and the Kalsubai Trek

It was a two-day trip from my stay at Mumbai. I drove in the evening a previous day. Having have rode my meteor a good 2500Kms, It was comparatively adjusting to ride 160km from Mumbai to the area near the peak. I have felt that if the trip is pre-planned, it helps you enrich your experience. There is so much more that we can explore and that does help us save time, energy and some money as well. I write with the same intention. Material carrying is important. Wearing bike accessories is essential for safety. This time while driving in the late hours, I felt that I should also carry items like pepper spray, a mat & torch. I carried a battery back up this time which made me feel safer, so to say. To remain ensured during the trip helps to enjoy better. I was calm due to it. I had put Kalsubai peak in the google map. Somehow I was going in the wrong direction. I had planned that I would find some tenting service nearby and sleep inside it during the night. I got to know t...

Why am I a Vegetarian?

-
I am a vegetarian for many reasons. I am one of the people who come in the 5-7% range of all the vegetarians that exists in the world. So that way, I do fall in a wonderful category of a minority! Well, past 7 years I am away from my hometown into different Indian cities & I must proudly say that I have been learning the art of respecting other people’s choice for their diet & to settle with the fact that I could not impose my thoughts onto other’s parking. It is that part which is unethical. Mine and your worlds are different. The grass is green on both sides. As a fresher, when I stepped out of my parent’s den into the real world, I would say that I had many prejudices pre-set in my mind. I remember to avoid sitting with the batch mates in the mess during the initial week just to show off that I don't eat nonveg and it is impure to do so. It was a hypocrite behavior. I am grateful that I came into my senses quite early noticing the fact that it is disrespectful t...
