So I came across this column in Page 3 of Bombay Times of a seminar conducted by IITian's Pace ( a top-notch JEE coaching institute in Mumbai) for all the JEE aspirants. It was held in a 5 star hotel in which Sudhir Mishra was the guest speaker along with others .Now I wonder what he has to do with the IITs except for his partial resemblance to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
The speakers were going to talk about what sets apart the WINNERS from the LOSERS.Now the winners(let's call them the swans) being the 10,000 odd students who get admission into the prestigious institutions and the losers(let's call them the ugly ducklings) being the other 4,90,000 students who don't crack the exam.
Dear Elders (Indian Education System and the coaching classes) ,this is very demotivating for the rest of the aspirants who did not clear this exam.The ducklings toiled for the exam too ,but since they did not clear it they go into depression (peer pressure leading to this 'D' word) . The ducklings too have worked hard and sacrificed almost everything for this mammoth exam. Many ducklings even contemplate suicide after not being able to turn into the beautiful swan. The prime strain that the ducklings go through is that they will be called a Failure or Coward by the society.
Anyways not everyone can have an IITian future but nevertheless a normal existence can be led by these ducklings (so they in their own time can transform into swans) ,so I request you not to tag them as LOSERS.Who am I to say all this ?Well, just another loser.
(The above written blog is in no offense to IITians,I have immense respect for you all)
