Back to square one : The rat race
It's that time of the year again? Oh , you know what I mean! Admissions , Scholarships , Quotas , Donations and what not! Students with even 95% get left behind because of the cut offs being as high as 99% . Quite quixotic , you say? Well that's how they roll in India !
Admissions in top colleges are supposed to be hard but not so much so that we'd have to go through such unrealistic demeanour. Why go through so much stress and tension for just mere admissions?
Yes , MERE admissions. Your identity should not be defined by what college you belong to instead you should define yourself . When you're 70 years old , you might not remember what chaos you went through to get in a top ranked college instead you'll remember your much cherished memories in the college canteen or bunking classes to watch a movie !
In my opinion , these rat races we all indulge in are a waste of time and emotions. Why cry over marks? Life has much more to cry over and laugh about. These are the days when you'll find every third house in your locality complaining about the tough admission processes and how long they stood in queues to get one form ! What's the use of that much sweat and tiredness when you can't admission without a 98% aggregate ? It's better to settle for a college which gives you credit for your talent and not the marks you get after mugged up vomits on your answer sheet. It's surprising to know that me writing so much would go a waste when I approach for admissions . I would have to go though the same tedious procedures because my society obliges me to do so. It's not us but societal pressure which forces us to be like we are. In fact any college with good faculty and facilities can provide you with a suitable degree and placement , not necessarily the top one but how does it matter when you're provided with the best alternative ?
Thrive for what's best for you not what makes you best in your peer or societal group.
Talents are not only academically driven , you could be a good sportsman , a good musician , actor , artist , writer , dancer etc. It's up to you not your marks on what you become or what you are.
Go on , discover your talent.
Don't cry over marks cause they'll just be printed sheets at the end of the day .
