Blogging!! Knew that I would be into it one day, but never knew it would be so fast. The major reasons for my restrains from blogging being, I love talking more that penning things, and I have always felt that words from the mouth have more effect that words from the books/posts. Its very difficult to embed emotions with those words in paper, at-least I am not the best one at it. Ppl who knew me closer would now know the reason of my phone calls over chat, now that I am a few continents away, I can't really afford it. :) So I am jus learning to write here, with pinch of thoughts and emotions in equal propotions! I know you would have been thinking, whats this guy blabbering? Who in the hell cares about you? lol.. He has nothing relevent to the title inside, sheesh. Newys lets see what has written inside! Lol. Agreed! I am not gonna bore you anymore, let me start!
About the topic: 'I was born Intelligent, but Education ruined me', the quote that most of you might have heard, with a sense of sarcasm. But I felt it made true sense. Weird??? This guy is trying to show-off in his first blog, loser! :P Hmm. Not really!
I agree, education has shaped the way we are today, and the world is there today. Without a proper education system being implemented, we would never have reached this height. It has given us a sense of being rational. It has taught us to live and lead life! Wth! I thought he would be saying something against it! Lol. Ya I will. Do you really think, it has? Do you really think education has given what it has to, I agree probably knowledge, but the quality and quantity of it which spanned for more than 17yrs now. I dont really think so. If it had, it should have made us wiser, better, confident individuals focusing on what we wish to achieve and move forward with.
Is every educated individual able to cope up?! Is every educated individual successful. Is every educated individual confident! If you think it has, then think again! Dude, I never gave a thought, dont trouble me. Move one with whatever hell u wished to tell! Okies! :)
I feel it really hasn't, "12th standard guys suicided before board results!" Confidence taught them this, "A guy kills his gal friend" The guy just became wiser!, "A group of students from a law college, almost to kill a guy with all policemen around" who were waiting for the principals permission; What is it thats happening, what is it that they are going to do. What is the differnce that education has brought in them, from the one who is not. Hmmm! Is education just here to teach you the formulas, and equations, trying to find the meaning of logic gates, when not many even know essence of their living. Are we missing something?! I feel yes we are. Jus have ur thoughts ponder over it. Hm. Maybe sometime. I hope, you will agree. Is it that teachers in school always concentrated on us to by heart, 1330 Thirukurals(Thriuvalluvar), not the meaning that he wished to convey, parents always wanted us to chant slokas/vedas without actually knowing what it teaches you in life, history always gave the story of how ppl lived and where they lived, rather than letting ppl analyse what went right and wrong in civilizations. what is the moral that we learn from them. I feel a few chambers of cells in the head being wasted.
Other than this socialistic thought, even as an educationist, I feel education never was sastisfying too. Mankind evolved to this situation because of knowledege transition and creativity. Today at the time when information is overloaded. I feel that actual knowledege transition and creativity will be lost! What! Again Blabbering started aa! Lol. No. We have turned into a species where we accept things rather than questioning them. Have we ever questioned things that are essential to us, why should fan be designed like this; Almost never, we take things for granted and try to study over, ultimately not understanding it completely. Thats what education has been doing. We neither use our creativity coz everything you need is just few clicks away. So why should you think be creative and waste time. Hmm. Correct! Think about this as well. I hope I make some sense, if I was able to connect my emotions with what I wrote.
I am not here to say that education is bad, wish to say it would have been great if it was better. What Kamal fan a! Lol. Build better education, build better society! Jai Hind!
Hurray! Finally I too started blogging! :)

@All, Thanks for ur comments!
@Naveen, I am extremely sorry that because of some problem with my lappy mouse, your comment was deleted. I perfectly agree to ur comment, but still think that, as well grow up the level we still find that our foundations haven't been strong, thats what I wanted to stress, and our education should provide us a platform for it. Special thanks to ur comment naveen! and sry abt the mishap!

Dude..u dint delete..i did...neways..its nice post...and driving thoughts in new direction...
keep posting..interesting :)
looking at ur comments to naveen i feel (correct me if wrong), even people with strong foundations lack most of the aspects wich you mentioned here.
Probably we need to define education in a different dimension with equal stress on character building and personality developmentalong with algos and programs.
Then I think we can get the completeness of EDUCATION and i feel EDUCATION is intended to mean this only.
Probably EDUCATION was also born intelligent but time ruined it :P(sorry for the pj..couldn jus control)
nice start thala...wat next?? abt ur crush list a :P :P jus kidding

Betwn for me....its true...
'I WAS BORN INTELLIGENT, BUT EDUCATION RUINED ME' :P :P
a nice topic to begin with too... keep blogging!!!
Adada. Nice post! I really agree with Harish's comment. Education has transformed from "a selfless motive of teaching others" to "a selfish business oriented model that comprises yet another case study for mba students". I guess when you look at it, the first thing that strikes you is the competence level of the teachers. Apart from the extravagantly hi-fi schools, wherein they really try to bring out your creativity, most other schools have only a handful of teachers who really look at their job as a "molding the brain to think" thing. For the majority (I might be wrong here, but its my opinion) teaching is just about monotonous presentation of stuff in the text books.
And creativity must be emphasized from a pre-high school level. Would we ever want to take up positions there? Ob No.
I totally agree with you .. Education is not total crap, just should be better. And about the title.. Avoid using it!!! Indian politicians are taking it seriously and planning to stop educating people, discussing No FAIL till 8th grade. 1. Cost cutting (LoL) 2. Vote boost!! Sick of it.
@ All - Thanks a lot for your comments. The comments that I get motivates me to write more, and more s do more. There is a major difference in them. Writing is a good thing but the actions that should go with the thought and thats what is of atmost important. Writings and Speech kindles thought, which might be the primary moto but that is not it. It s the action towards the thought that would make a better future for mankind.
A thought with action could change the course of human life. So do not stop your thought here.
And abt the topic, if media would want to sensationalize something which is of no importance to us. I find no mistake in this. The topic was basically taken to make ppl read it! :D
I hope, the ACTION is not far away!
