The Indian Competition System

-

 Even after getting admission in Dental college, a medical aspirant resents and regrets all his years of being unable to crack the NEET UG exam. A UPSC aspirant goes on giving his 7th attempt at the age of 33. This is the sad reality of the cutthroat Indian Competition System that inevitably makes the clearance of exam as an accolade of achievement to be worn and thus get validated by society.

It impacts the mental well-being of lakhs of students who sit for these exams and makes them like a horse with blinders just to focus on the target and 'if you fail you are good for nothing' they say. A lot of them are just enrolling in entrance tests due to their parents' aspirations or even when they are unaware of their interests or capabilities. These are the questions to current education system and the society: What about those major proportion who fail? 

Are their careers put on secondary options away from the pedestal?

Why are they not trained to explore other unconventional options which might fit their capabilities by schools and coaching centers?

Until how long the ability to perform under pressure and limited time will be judged for tutees who haven't even explored life yet?

Do we not need to have a solution system for pathbreaking careers too like research, etcetera for those who want to study but not for the sake of competition but for the thirst of knowledge?

God Is An Algorithm

"It all starts with believing in our destiny that whatever has been done is good for us and whatever has not been done is still better ." Whenever I look upon my current life compared to my past it always seems better. I won't say everyone to start comparing their past with present because you may have gain some and may have lost the other but rather state that, gratitude considerably leads to happiness and contentment. My friend jokes about my behaviour of  connecting the dots in everything. Yeah, I won't deny my habit to see patterns in things, people, and life too. But ain't it true, that practicing gratitude removes down a thousand kilo burden upon our lives?  Yesterday, I was looking at a cat in my garden and wondering that this cat could have been my boyfriend at some point of life in the my birth cycle. Now don't ask me why only boyfriend?.. I have an inbuilt romanticism...girls generally have it!  At the same time, I was thankful to be born as a human

Perfectionist attitude: a cursed apple 1.2

-
                 Perfectionism is like a cursed apple given to the Snow White by the Witch queen.   Perfection has become an aim due to increase in living standards with time. This attitude is inculcated in individuals as soon as they began their schooling. Soon, this becomes a major issue when they enter adulthood with so many responsibilities and burdens. Now, if they keep on aiming for perfectionism in their work or themselves or others, they will waste time, money and other resources.  Apart from that, being a perfectionist can sometimes even make you a ' maniac' with those burdening expectations which can't be fulfilled. This can spiral down to stress, anxiety and depression. At this hour,  ask yourself :  "Is that really important to be on top? Am I sacrificing my mental peace and happiness to get the perfect work, score or relationship?" "What is perfect in the very first place to start with?" In reality it's  NOTHING Just our own and expecta
