yeah i know the heading is crappy, but then what the heck, it made sense to me these 30 seconds back and i'm now too lazy to change it. Was reading the blog of a teenager sometime back and the poor soul is trying to justify her decision of taking up a field of study to herself. hmmm...good penning down thoughts helps one organise thoughts better....but what the heck its 4 months to the boards....crap .....have the kids of today stopped running away from schools & studies???....have those goddamn books & teachers taken over the fun of these youngsters????
i don't know about them but my decision to opt for Commerce over science was pretty simple....S.....a one year senior friend...flunked in maths while trying to cover up for physics after taking up Science...and worst of all after missing our midnight walks for a week.....what the crap...i knew i didn't want to miss my walks......the 2 hours of playing cricket....and all the other stupid stuff to some goddamn physics/chemistry books....and as it was the best didn't come to commerce so it made my job of being in the top 5 in the class with minimal of efforts much more easier.....gawd it was a fabulous deal....fun for two years in school and....a chance to compete against mediocres ( i know its a cruel word...but what the heck...i ain't going to heaven anyways)...
At many stages i realised the sheer brilliance of my mind and a queer goodluck the decision brought...
they say science helps on logical building and the crap...aaahhh...i say playing cricket...scheming with friends...trying to get someone's phone numbers from telephone linemen without paying a bribe helps build better & useful logic....don't we live with humans and not machines....honestly i've won more battles against computers by thinking like a human than with sheer logic....:)..."Fool it like a human" that's what my quotation board in the Department of IT says...And honestly i can compete with any goddamn science graduate on logic....
but i guess i am digressing from the point...the thing is why are today's kids growing up so fast???....thinking of decisions which have to be taken after almost 8 months....pressure it is...from parents....friends...teachers ( i never liked the ones at school...there was this lady who wanted me to study for atleast six hours a day in 9th standard...poor sadist)....but more importantly its the desire to lead a good life in materialistic terms...and what withn ewspapers being thurst down kids throats at schools( i don't remember reading anything beyond the sports page throughout my school life...i still read the paper from the last page...:)) and they reading about the salaries being earned by freshers.....the newest models of cars being discussed in discussions at schools....these fortune pocket moneys...aaah...they want it for themselves and thus the stupid thoughts of careers in minds of 15 year olds....
come on guys...if u make ur career now when wud you have that stolen cigarette, that first peg of whisky, the first shave and the hesitant look into the mirror after that, the discussion about girls, the 15 rupee weekly trip to the burger wala....life is not supposed to begin at 15...
Yeah these are all the undesirable side effects of shining India....comeon someone take away some of the shine and give back kids the fun-years...
