Engineering bias....

In many schools today, we find students categorically divided based on their marks/percentage…. The school authorities say that this is to make the students excel in the subjects more… they argue that the world is facing stiff competition and this is the right way to build them for the challenge…

The reason why this factor has started to bug me so much is that recently I heard of a school where students are divided into “clubs”!.... when a child score above 80% means: the child becomes part of the elite club and will be eligible for free snacks/lunch (sponsored by school)…. This is a demeaning, revolting… SKEWED value system: the school is imposing on its students!

Is dividing children on the basis of their capacity to perform / out perform the prescribed content … (an education system based solely on the memory capacity of children)…The right way to shape a child’s attitude or build the child to face life… guess only engineers, doctors, professionals will survive in this planet

I am not sure if I am fighting a lone battle… but I feel we need to give this system an overhaul…

Why should children be divided… children are the only living beings that mix freely without the inhibitions of caste, creed, class whatever… their innocence is the only way to overthrow the numerous evils that surrounds our society….dividing them early in their innocence equals breaking their virtue and incorruptibility.

They see a reality when we turn a blind eye
They listen while we merely hear
They speak out where we would evade
They seek the truth that we conveniently forget
Children dream the most impossible!

Civilized crime of our times................

We the people of this CIVILIZED world live in glass houses…. Within our fragile setup where we merely just look out and see atrocities prevail. We have been so called the products of “progressive” civilizations Yet we loot, we plunder, we kill, we harass, we cheat, we lie We wage wars, we nuke, and we discriminate, And falsify our actions as Glory… I question myself whether we can be branded in any way as “Humane”

Phenomenal Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal...

My hobby

Hidden by layers of books, Beneath the shelves, Lay a forgotten hobby of mine- As I blow out the dusty cover, Preserved are the strings of joy; Reminding me of a forgotten promise- The promise to pursue this hobby!
