Ideology
When I was a kid, I use to make paper boats, not the usual ones, use to experiment with them, changed dimensions of its different portions. I use to stare at clouds and find patterns in it, I use to sit and think how world works, I use to question everything. There was never satisfying inquisitiveness burning inside me, I wanted to learn more and experiment with things in order to get deeper understanding, better the existing ones and develop the required the non-existing ones.
And then came college, assignments took place of creative ideas, cramming formulae replaced innovations, learning and experimenting was brutally murdered by mugging, performing in exams was prime aim rather than learning, college trained IT and multinational company slaves who‘d go out and work for someone else, it trained us to obey, learn and do outsourcing rather innovate and develop new technologies. It was breeding ground for future servants rather than future thinkers and scientist.
Colleges and their age old traditions, but traditions of what?
Hazing kids?
And humiliating who tries to think a lit bit different?
Or putting so much pressure on students they turn into these caffeine addict mugging machines?
College system and its mechanism is a criminal. It robs students of their creativity and their passion. And yeah, that’s the real crime.
The true purpose of education is to stimulate the creativity and the passions of the student body, it is to give them wings, to allow them think freely, develop new things, innovate and experiment. Education is that mechanism by which young intelligent minds are converted into mature ignited minds. Does that really happen? I don’t think so, our education system teaches us to roll on, play it safe, graduate and get a job.
You know a lot of people say that college is the time when young boys and girls expand their way they look at this world, when they open their minds to new ideas and experiences and from where they begin that long journey from innocence of youth to the responsibilities of adulthood. But not now….
Now college is no longer a place to learn, you go there single minded with one aim and that is to get a good job with great starting salary. No one cares about new ideas concepts and innovation; all you need to do is cram, mug do well in exams, copy assignments and projects get a good CGPA and fly away with your head held high with some MNC paying you a lot of dollars…
There are very few mechanism prevailing in our present system to support any new idea that any engineering student might come up with even if they are they r not encouraging enough to attract students. There were millions of ides that died before anyone knowing even a bit about them, our professors would definitely agree to this. There has to be so many things that you all must have thought but couldn’t develop those due to loop holes in the system.
Look there are so few truths in this world that when you see one, you know it.
And I know it is a truth, we all know it is a truth that engineering colleges kills innovations Present education system has lead us to a deep crisis. Time for awakening, time for another renaissance else it‘ll be too late.
This story is not about brainy geeks who sit on the 1st bench itching to raise their hand for every question faculty asks; this story is about genius back benchers who with their exceptional IQ find new ways to get earphones inside their ears in the class without faculty having the slightest of hint every day. This story is about those underdogs who take turns in a lecture to sleep, with someone having responsibility of elbowing them every time trouble comes. This story is not about those who give up on their dreams and surrender to dull college system, this story is about rebels who try and change the way system works and in turn get suspended now and then. This story is not about hard workers who toil day and night for a kick ass CGPA, this story is about students who manage to save their asses from getting debarred at the last moment (if at all) and manage to get a ‘D’ somehow, else they calculate the left credits and celebrate the fact that they will still get the degree in 4 years. This story is about the most hated section of college, not because they are bad or something just because they are not like the rest. This story talks about those who spend more time creating groups in case there is situation of a fight and hardly bother about making groups for projects and presentation. And while doing all this we never lost our enthusiasm for learning technology and trying new innovations.
Something snapped inside us when we entered our great institution that we gave up working hard instead started our never ending voyage for fun and thrill that earned us the name SINNERS. We are the heroes of this story, look at world through our eyes, you will enjoy, you will laugh, you will cry, you will have emotions that you never had before and in the end you will become one of us.
