The Real Philosophy

This semester has at least started on a better note, it’sthe one and only sem. where they teach Comp Sc. students Comp Sc. And at least we have got 2-3 good profs. But then again the hypocrisy of the whole system leaves a lot of people in awe. It is no longer possible to ascertain whether the students or the professors are at fault, because no one really wants to concentrate towards academics. Like the prof. who told us yesterday to attend a guest lecture w/o fail or we would fail the course (coincidently going on right now).

Also the red tape seems to baffle me a lot. I was asked to bring an F.I.R. yesterday for a lost grade sheet. Generally I am able to handle my way through most situations, but this one left me in awe as well. It is these moments that bring out the nature of Indian Society. No one wants to live in a community as a whole. Its the shit and the selfishness that’s makes the backbone of it. Its prevalent everywhere, from the people manning desks at the academics section to the administration who make up these weird rules to the people at various corporations who don't give a damn about the students they are about to hire and finally to the students themselves.

For corporations, hiring brilliance is one thing, but then again the process could be much improved. Also the search for an intern has proved beyond doubt that as soon as competitiveness came into the picture, the students themselves were at the throat of each other.

I am still not sure why I wrote all this on a Saturday morning. But it’s mostly reading the newspaper daily; TOI does bring out good examples of sensational journalism. But then again the news is still based in some fact, and those facts are not very good either. But it's good to know that some of the people, who managed to read this post till the end, don't fall in the above categories. Think about it.
