I am afraid of joining the rat race after the end semester results have started to pour in. One day, someone had told me
Depending on how much I know you, I know you are not like them but the
fear is that competition might derive you to become like one, be safe my
friend don't let that evil catch you. Actually, I have to admit I am a bit scared. Actually very scared. I don't even have the confidence to write this whole thing without a background music.
How unfortunate. Yes I always knew Indian Educations System sucks. I never expected Thapar to be any different. But this is a whole new level of insanity. Never had I actually felt nervous for any results, let alone such an insignificant one. Even the JEE results came in a lighter mood. Those from engineering (most of you readers) know how big an event JEE Advanced results day is. And the server crash had made even more people nervous. But I still remember I was calm. It was my mother trying to refresh the page again and again. And I didn't seem to care.
Thapar changed me. It did to me in 6 months alone what 12 years of schooling failed to do. And yes, what it did is nothing close to good. Rather, it is pathetic. And I hate this college for that. For making me nervous regarding the GPA, which I, by the way, know is very inconsequential. In fact, I wouldn't blame Thapar alone. Yes, I do admit my family has also played a crucial role in this transition.
Yes GPA matters. But for the average. I know Google employs people without a Bachelor's degree, let alone those who have a low GPA, courtesy subjects like Chemistry. But yes, man is a social animal. And after a point of time, you do become impacted by what people around you are saying. And that's not good. For me, it's not at all good. Yes, peer pressure can help you, but outside the coaching life of the 2 years, it is a very rare event. In fact, it is impossible.
Yes, our education system aims at bringing down the confidence of the students to an unimaginable level. Yes, engineering is a field as hard as described. They are no exaggerations. And I certify this fact. I no longer feel what I used to feel 6 months ago. Why do people suicide. Yes, this is no longer a question in my mind. In fact, it seems reasonable enough. Yes, the engineering colleges of the 21st century are nothing but pressure cookers.
God, I have to admit, I hate this place. Not for any tortures it inflicts. They are temporary. Not for the reasons described before today. They will all go away with the 4 years. But for the reason I just described. For taking away my confidence, my carefree attitude. For I don't know how that will come back.
And today, I am opening this Blog for all prospective readers. If anyone comes to this blog and reads this post, and knows how to deal with this utter nonsense, please drop a comment.
