Random Musings

The blog where we try to pry out all the significant little things from the insignificant little corners they have been pushed to, away from our sight. Where we discuss and examine things that usually people don’t tell you about.
Where I get to post my musings on any random subject I fancy. Wheeeeeeee.

I recently read in the newspaper about the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh taking to riding a bicycle and talking about cutting down on the security and stuff. A political party called it ‘drama’. I think that this is one of the better forms of ‘drama’ by politicians. At least it doesn’t harm the environment. In contrast to their cavalcades, with at least 20 cars and red beacons and sirens, designed to efficiently put the common man at discomfort and waste the exchequer’s money.
Btw this blog has no political leanings. It is to be absolutely apolitical. Any attempt to construe the meanings of the things written here to be something unintended will be unwanted and really, really cheap.

All this reservation stuff is giving me the heebie-jeebies. I am really scared that unless I get a truly amazing, spectacularly wonderful rank in the engineering entrance exams I will not be able to get through anywhere.
What I don’t really get is why is the general category student being penalised so? Haven’t we a right to education. Why should it be our needs and our alone that are sacrificed at the altar of social justice?

I believe the number of doctors, engineers, research scholars, etc is very few in comparison to our population। And most of the graduates are deemed unemployable by the leading global and domestic firms and companies. This is evident in the mad rush for iit graduates. A whole many government schools ar e in shambles. the quality and quantity of graduates is generally deemed to be pitiful for a supposed giant of the 21st century. So I suggest that if the politicians and ministers are really concerned about the plight of the people, they take a long, hard look at the education system today. That they try to improve the system that caters to a large amount of population, many of whom are underprivileged, those who have borne the brunt of the caste system. Because the majority of the population doesn’t even get proper schooling. The majority include a lot of people who have been stigmatised by the caste system.
we all have a chance to help india improve. let us strive to be better than we are.
