Life is…My thoughts…

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…
