Asleep

Somehow this song always gets to me..
 

Tangled up in Blue

Life Event Entry:

I got attendance clearance !
(trust me, if you were in my college you'ld certainly know the significance of that!)
In this humble achievement, I have friends to thank and my HoD to express my gratitude to.. (yes it is exactly like winning a soap opera award! )

now here's what makes it a life event entry, i was actually recommended for it by the faculty who was solely responsible for denying it to my fellow students.. and i have no clue why!

I wish i had a camera to capture that moment ..

Little boxes made of ticky tacky little boxes

Why is education such a big fuss?
Why do we need to "brand" education (or infact anything)?

Why can't we just go to schools to simply learn stuff... certificates, scores, etc are all just so much against the idea of learning.. how does one simply quantify a quality?
I may score a 90/100 in my Mathematics class.. what does the 90 signify?

• I know 90 % of the question paper?
• I can solve 9 questions out of every 10 mathematics question given to me from the syllabus?
• I was 90% lucky that day? 
• I am a intelligent person, and will solve a open problem someday

I never understand why do we need marks or a constrained syllabus or even an exam to evaluate my knowledge ..
I have a small dream (here's a joke for you :D ) I want see a world where people would want to learn .. a institution where anybody can teach, and anyone can just walk in a classroom to learn stuff.. no attendance, no exams, no constraints .. i want to see the Greek system of school back in life.. where people come to study physics, mathematics, poetry, art and politics.. for learning and enjoyment, not merely to have a "certificate" ..

......
enough babbling .. you're free to laugh your heart out on this one... i know i will tomorrow :D

i walk the line

other-end: do whatever you want to .

Me: entrepreneur ass! so whats up?

the 10 sec conversation that made a huge impact ..
i never thanked him...

as of now, i am continuing my work on something really cool.. perhaps my best work so far..
