So the govt wants to do away with the concept of board exams for class Xth. What a stupid direction we want to walk-in ! Before thinking about this idea (which is a complete copy-paste from the West) has anybody tried to see the standard of education in school and colleges in India ? Education in India is one of the most terribly screwed up things. Govt institutions have fallen below all the standards and for private institutions it is a pure business. Colleges after colleges, universities after universities are opening like branches of a tree. They are charging sky touching fees which a very small percentage of people can afford to pay. Anyways, talking about the effects of doing away with the board exams, my main question is what advantages we/education standard is going to have from this concept ? On the negative side there are so many things like:
- There is some amount of fear of board exams in the minds of students so do study, at least to pass the exams. That fear gone away and no-one is going to care about preparing for the exams.
- When things will get in the hands of schools, its effects are going to be terrible. In Govt schools, things are already at their worst, they are gonna worsen even more. In private schools, to show good results they are gonna play with the numbers on the marks sheets of the students.
- Teachers are going to give good marks only to the students who will take tuitions from them. Its going to corrupt the whole culture like anything.
These are just a few. There could be a lot more. Rather than taking such stupid decisions, we need to work on improving education standards in India.
God help India !

It is a tough question to answer that whether cleaning your house would be tough if you are a bachelor or you were married as in first case you clean your room and might assist your roommate in cleaning his and in latter case you assist your better half in cleaning the whole house 
. Anyways, i haven’t gone through the latter one but today was the day for experiencing the first one. It has been pending since long time and we had been planning it since pretty long. Everything was terribly screwed up and needed attention. Finally that fine Sunday came and now everything has been cleaned and set properly. As usual, what i liked the most is my books shelf which is just looking too good after arranging everything properly
Next on agenda is to clean my laptop of all the clutter around ie files, folders etc etc…

Before i start writing, i should mention that the whole inspiration for writing this post has come from an announcement made in Delhi Metro that “Male passengers are requested not to sit on the seats reserved for ladies”. It is one step ahead actually. Earlier they used to announce that “Please vacate seats for Ladies, senior citizens and physically challenged”. Now this one. What irritates me the most is the contrast between the thought being created that women are not the weaker sex, they can do everything blah blah blah and such announcements. In Delhi, in buses also all the seats on left side are reserved for ladies and oh yes they are sitting on some seats on right side too and NO you can’t ask them to get up. Is there an explanation that how all of this bullshit fits under one cover ? One on side the whole media, women organizations and x y z are hell bent on proving that women are not the weaker sex and on the other side women need reserved seats in buses, metros and where not ? And after getting into the bus or metro, the way they ask for the seat is just awesome as if it was their Dad’s property. Bullshit ! Either they should accept that yes women are the weaker sex or they shouldn’t ask for reservations !
BTW ladies what is your say about this ?

While reading testimonials of people on Orkut, i always wonder how people can manage to write those sugar coated words and sentences. I tried it so many times but my little knowledge of English seems to end where that sweetness starts . Anyways nothing much against it, i actually enjoy reading all that stuff. Just a thought that how people do that

I have been tagged by Puja. The game is:
Go into your photo archive,pick the 4th folder in the archive,select the 4th picture in the folder,and write about it.Then tag 4 other people to do the same.
This is the 4th pic in 4th folder of my pics archive. It was taken on 17-Nov-2005 . I was working in Chandigarh those days. We went to Amritsar to attend the marriage of my roommate’s brother. We went to Golden Temple and this pic was taken there. It was taken with Nokia 6630 Cellphone camera so not even that much clear.
Next, I am tagging Harmeet, Vaibhav…hmmm..no one else right now

The way earth smells like when it has just started raining…
The sound of rain…
The sound…when you wake up from sound sleep in the middle of night and notice that it is raining outside…
You go out just after it has stopped raining…
Smell of the new book you purchased today…
You are sleeping in the room…sound the pages of book lying aside make when wind from an open window turns some of them…
A small kid smiling…
You are sad and call from someone you care for…
