Being "YOU"!

Taking a task in hand and completing it in the prescribed time with all your strength should be all what is required for achievement of a goal only when it is not at all extraordinary. There are a lot more ingredients in the recipe of success. Planning, management, finding out your shortcomings and working towards improving them are more important than doing exactly what you want to do. These are the reasons why some people can't do what they want  to do even by putting the due effort required  while the others can once they completely focus their attention towards it. In a nutshell, for achievement of a goal, one has to focus on it. Just like stacking the bricks into the shape of a house is not the same as making a house, proper cementing technique has to be employed. 

It all sums up into two choices you could be like someone or you could be like no on. Unsurprisingly, the former choice is the common one and eventually brings up a large number of people into competition thus making the whole process monotonous, uninteresting and ordinary yet the challenges are still the same. Then, there is the second option which is not a choice per se. Either it is inherent or one is just lucky enough to become one. Being creative and curious is  a lot of help but even more helpful is the rejection of the social norms and finding out inconvenience in what one has.

Which mouse do you want to be?

Although hard work is the key to success but it is not the only key to success. It may sound pessimistic to some and opportunistic to the other. But, to a great extent, I am convinced that it is realistic. In this Darwinian world of ours, each individual has a unique meaning of success if one has it at all. Now, that meaning of success may or may not require hard work in itself. Even when the success demands hard work, it is not the only way to get it. Thanks to the world for being full of corrupt people along with human nature for easily getting lured to it. Putting the story of two mice falling into the bucket of milk into the perspective where one mouse simply gave up the hope to survive while the other one churned it so hard that it made curd out of it, one would say that the second mouse was hard working so it succeed and will respect that, or will he?

The real world, on the other hand, has a significant number of a third kind of  mouse which waits for the hard working mouse to turn the milk into the curd while sitting on its back and eventually jumps out of the bucket thrusting it deeper into the curd. So, the question which arises now is "Which mouse do you want to be?"

Talking about the queue systems, for instance, "First come, First served", this is supposed to be the rule but in reality, watching a long queue, either people walk away or take their chances if they make it in time or some consider themselves to be so special that they do not shy in breaking the line. In fact, they take it to be as the usual procedure and do not find it wrong. Some people go one step further in justifying their action of breaking the line believing it to be their birth right. As they say that breaking of a line requires an art that they only are privileged with. So anyone who can "break a line" must have the liberty of not following what underprivileged people do.

Does Current Indian Education System sustain only MUGGERS?

Education system of INDIA gives you every thing but practical  knowledge of life. What? You think I am exaggerating? Well, prove me wrong when you know how much is the seriousness of any project which we get from our teachers, when you know all you need to do to pass exams is one whole night cramming, when you know you can not recollect what you learned a year before to teach your juniors and when you know that there is almost negligible use of the academic knowledge in the practical world.

From our childhood we are told that education will make you live life happily. True, but tell me which kind of, the one we see muggers doing all the time? Believe it or not, this way has risen above all methods of studying in INDIA. How? As we all know we have got written tests with limited syllabus in every phase of our lives, may that exam of entrance or the regular one. This is where our mugger folks get the plus point and the very soul of education is killed. We should always remember that education is the name of learning the values of life not the facts as Einstein said.

It is always said that mugging is not the true studying. Let it be but what is harm in it when your purpose is served. What I mean is that in INDIA, the system of education is such that only a mugger has what it takes to sustain. Here, we have teachers who never teach anything the way we grasp things, the syllabus which is dull indeed but can not help it, classes with no healthy interaction among teacher and students, marking strategy which is beneficial for muggers as the regeneration of notes taken in class is most likely to be awarded full marks. We feel it as our good luck if any of the above mentioned hardship is not present in any case. Don't we?

Bottom line is that success achieved by mugging may be beneficial for the muggers but with this approach they are not doing any good to the society and to the nation. This should be avoided by bringing some reforms in the current education system. What can be done? Smart classes for good interaction of teachers and students, formation of syllabus done with care for evenness and usefulness of it, initiating the true study from the primary school can be some help in the revolution of education. Saying that these are not being initiated in INDIA would be wrong. I am just saying these notions should spread in people of INDIA as well as Indian Government as fast as possible.

Ask me my three main priorities for Government,

and I tell you: education, education and education.

(not the way the muggers use to study, but the way geeks do it)

Are you a SLANG-O-MANIAC?

"SLANG-O-MANIAC", well, not a word really but take care of it just for a minute and find where do you stand on it. Its totally on what answer you have for the question raised above. Slang is a word that many of us usually associate with poor grammar and questionable diction. Thus, slang is nothing like a nasty bee for some, whereas, a pain in the neck for others. To be true, I am totally fine with the slang also I love rap songs. Let it be the fact that slang is an attempt to insult any linguistic or dramatic decline in the writing abilities. Slang is all about the intimacy, insanity and informality which you want among your best buddies. Don't you? Cause they are those with whom you get freedom to express.

Slang is good among the people of same generation more specifically among social circle. So, always watch where you are using them because you are not supposed to spoil the society by uttering whatever your tongue balances or say being a "SLANG-O-MANIAC" doesn't mean being a real maniac. It is like disobedience to the elders when some younger uses slang among them. Also it's shameful to be used by them in the vicinity of someone younger. This is a courtesy which must be carried forever as it decides boundary or gap of a senior and a junior.

Slang always suffers censorship in reaching children. On the contrary, it has hardly ever not delighted them. This is a deal done to raise new generation free of slang but failed every time. Slang is something sown so deep that it hardly is out of dictionary of an urban man. So, it is useless to go beyond it. Its good if you do not practice slang language cause slang is itself sort of a taboo. But one who do are not to be considered as convict as it is only with slang we are keeping it all through freedom to express like our constitution says.

Now, lets have some serious lookout over this question of concern. Can it be avoided ever? Is it the new fashion of linguistic with new trends? See, we cannot ignore slang, as much as we cannot ignore how we perceive slang. The acceptability of a sentence depends on certain set of standards regarding vocabulary or a comprehensive phrase used in that sentence. May be slang is not considered standard but what's wrong if we shorten our conversation if it is convenient as we all know the slang terms are popularized on social networking or other chatting means among our social circles. Now-a-days, these are taught in academies as a part of language. So, things do not appear to change in near future. And what do I care for more, I am on the dark side if you say using slang is bad. End of story.
