I read an article on a local paper here,7 days,it was on the number of suicide cases of students in India of recently.The reason?Parental and societal pressure.If you are Indian you would be familiar with this attitude-"If you are a good student you are a good child else you aren't!".This attitude ought to change in our nation.We cannot go on like this.So all our parents forced us into courses,some of you lucky enough to choose your subjects,some others,like me,not lucky for that,but we carried on.But as years pass by cost,admission,reputation all becomes part of courses you want to take up.We are not given Education in India.We are just taught certain skills and principles through books and practices in the schools/colleges.Education is much more,sports,music,dance all of this is given importance.If you are taught a subject as core,you are also taught a subject of your liking.May be its a violin/ballet/basket ball.But where does this happen in India?and if it happens too why is it regarded of lower importance that your books?
Most of us today are the ones who work 9-5.Daily job tensions,political pressures and so on.Has your boss ever asked you how much you scored in Math in your 12th?I am sure never.He would rather find out from you if you have completed the task you were assigned that morning or what are your targets for the day/week.Who cares today how much was your score?If you prove yourself in the work environment you are success.Period.
Who are more successful?the ones who followed their dreams!They went on to become musicians,artists of various sorts,film makers,sports personalities,models,some even politicians.So who is more better off in soceity today?who are leading richer lifes?are their pictures on paper or yours?and what do you get at the end of the day- a comment from your parents about a young boy or girl making it to the top not through some exam but by display of talent.
Would you now after such thought want to waste your energy on a debate---A billion as per population and just 1 Olympic medal ???!!!
