So it's a crucial juncture for tenthies...or at least that's what parents have to say....Though if you grope somewhere in an honest corner of your heart, you have to agree that they couldn't be more right.
So, we'll now be pushed outta the protective walls of school to the brutal world outside. Exposing our tender brains to the merciless competition. And of course, the way Indians are reproducing, it's bound to be ball-cracking. You have thousands..scratch that...lakhs...thwarting you on your way to the peak...and a rank in top 2000 is just not good enough for these people. To add to the woe, parents feel they'd rather die of shame.
Adding to the woe is uncertainty....which way ? The world economy is in imbalance...it doesn't seem that the once 24 karat gold IT Industry is gonna be the champion after this, having already expanded to it's peak. There'll be new sectors leading the way...you dunno which...is it biotechnology ? Seems likely, especially with the DNA technology, which is well poised to be in the nex-gen PCs.You're at crossroads, there are so many directions to choose from, the lights are off, you don't know which will lead to the peak...or whether you'll be able to survive the race in the 1.15 billion strong nation ?
The way I visualise it, it's a winding and twisting road, you never know what it has in store for you, you're walking, rather driving, seeing that most people are getting their vehicles in +1, irrelevant though...as I was saying, you're moving along this dark and uncertain road, not even sure if it does lead to the apogee. An ill-designed curriculum, rather a faulty education system adds to the woes. You're supposed to study 12+ hours...wouldn't it be kinder to add another year to higher secondary system ? And you don't get good teachers in schools...how in hell's name are you supposed to have clear fundamentals ?
As if this wasn't enough...our generations will be left to cope up with the problems our ancestors have been heaving us with. Population, as I said, is the root cause. We have energy crisis, resource crisis, water crisis, economic crisis, crises crises crises. Why didn't they give a damn before burning all the coal that their offsprings would have to burn their asses to get any heat or electricity for that matter.There's a limited money out there, and with so many trying to lay their hands on it, only the super-duper-ultra-fine will be able to get good. It's more of poker than chess, all you can do is have faith on your luck.
