Corruption- Still disguised


I think this is really hard time talking about corruption. People from all over the country are with or against Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare. Corruption can be defined as anything which involves misuse of power. But misuse of power for getting things done is not always wrong. i mean in a diverse country like India if people are paying extra to get something easily done, Do you really think it matters if the result is good. I would like to take the example of Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010. The games about which the whole world was talking. How many of us really think that these games were not a success. I mean the opening and closing ceremony of the games are one of their kind. The game introduced a new culture in the country and sports are now promoted i the country at much above rates than before. so wasn't it worth paying for all this. What i think is in a country like India it is impossible to get things done whether its Private or government sector. Suresh Kalmadi wasted about 10 times. But after 10 years what world will remember is the grand success of the games and not the money wasted to get it. people would always contradict that the same thing could have been done in a very little prize as compared to the money they wasted. But do you think with such less time left it was money or the pride of India what was more important?
As most of you do, I agree that corruption is wrong and should be uprooted from the country but do you think it is as =easy as writing this. No from my side actually. Its like the best way to deal with corruption is looking at both sides of it. you cant just say that people who take bribe are wrong. It is too harsh statement. We get money for the power and education we have, not the hard work. As if hard work is the only thing with a role then a labour would be earning far more than a contractor. So coming to the point, if we all get Money for the power we have don't you  think we all deserve the money we want. I mean if you are getting as a high salary than its okay and if you are ding the same job with less salary and bribe with it then its wrong. I am not supporting corruption all i want to say is making demonstrations would never be a solution as the problem is system not the government. Even if we change the government it will be same after few days. So all We need to do is stay away from corruption from our side and leave the rest on the system. stop paying bribe and soon  they will stop getting them. Its not the government who will take initiative its YOU!!

The Last time I was busy with my Admission


As all of us know that one of the most difficult and important task in our life is to take admissions. Admissions not only at the right place but at the right time too. Since our life start we are always in a struggle to take admission whether it’s a pre-primary school or a graduate college. The life goes around and comes around the admissions itself. I have been noticing the procedure and the difficulties student goes through while searching for the right college, the right course and the right time.

If we are talking about admission let’s take it to the nursery (primarily) level. For the past so many years the system of admission in India was based on the educational and economical conditions of the parents and the child who was going to be admitted was considered if the above two conditions make the school satisfied. Then our country comes up with a new notion that was termed as the point system. The idea is nice but the implementation of the system was never properly defined. The system is for sure better than the previous one but still have some vast loopholes. One of the major issues was the admission of children living in remote areas as it was really difficult to get them admitted. But they are happy tapping their back in pride.
Lets now come to the admission to a college, If you were able to get admission in a nice school enough to build your personality you can apply in almost every college in the country. But applying for it never guarantees the admission in the college. The admission in India is highly categorized on torturing students and their parents. To be on a serious note, the admission process is divided into two on the basis of the means of admission.
The first one is on the basis of Competitive exam and the other one is on the basis of merit. Usually the entrance exams are far more difficult than the usual academics they are taught in their classes. Thus most of the student prefers to take Extra tuition for these exams which makes it really difficult for the student to cope up with the school as well. And if we talk about the merit system their colleges asks percentage as far as 100% in the 4 subjects you have which is practically impossible. And there is a blessdy for all the students belonging to the special classes that they almost need 505 marks of the general student to get in and about 10% less merit to apply for an admission.
Thus the system keeps on revolving here and there, if you are not Einstein than you can’t get admission in India.

The First and Yet not the First

This is the first post on this blog.. I really don't know what to start with.. I am still in a doubt why i am again trying to start up a blog(as my previous attempts were worse than a failure). Just hoping this will work out as i am starting it sitting in the library of IIIT-D and maybe work as a lucky charm for me. Another reason that i can make out is now i am in a college and things are really different now. I am trying to change my perceptions about life though it is practically impossible. This may seem a little confusing but i can't do anything about it. However, these changes are helping me to try different things. the funny thing about this first post is I started it in the college Library and am ending it on my bed. I wish we can change our thoughts as easily as changing location on Google Latitude.
Wish me luck with this blog(yah i believe in luck and destiny) . Thankyou for reading this post. This was unintentionally written rubish. Please dont mind.. Will come up with something better for sure.




It was just like Hello testing testing  before the performance..:)
