education and exams

examsss!!!! they are an inevitable part in anybody's life.. i dont understand da logic behind having exams. if u mug something for a week and then vomit it out, does it mean u are intelligent and are worthy enough to be moved up to the next class??? then what happens after the exams are over.. u r done with it.. and then u forget whatever you learnt for a week. how does the power or capacity to mug prove your capabilities and ur aptitude??? y cant we have more of practicals so that it tests our skills as well as our capabilities???i know that theory is essential so that we have a strong foundation for our knowledge. but only theory??? if we have only a strong foundation nothing can be done with it. i have noticed that till now whatever i have studied, be it school or college... practical knowledge imparted to us is very poor. and then we are blamed that we are not practical, we just have a bookish knowledge. we get handicapped wen it comes to getting onto the field and applying our knowledge in the practical arena. so why blame us wen we are taught from the beginning that we have to mug.. why cant we bring a change in the present system and have more of a practical, on the job training..it will help us wen we set out to carve a niche for ourselves in this world and also improve our knowledge.

studying hard!!!!????

Re - kindled faith

As i sat on the sand,
In the darkness of the moonlit night;
Thoughts wavered, all across my mind.
I looked for the sun in the rising night,
Found none but gloom and plight;
Never once, never before has the dark been so bright.
The future and the past loomed before me:
But i knew not what to derive,
Hours had passed before i realised -
The sun was up and bright,
But still i could see from my mind's eye,
The darkness of the night.
I woke up and realised that -
The bad would pass us by;
All it needed was a little faith; in the Supernatural Spy.

I write, not because I want to; but because I have no other option. I need an outlet to my thoughts, my feelings, otherwise I shall go nuts. I cannot talk because nobody will understand me. I want to stay in the dark and just listen to music or watch TV. Or make a phone call to somebody and not talk at all. I want peace, silence, tranquility, solace... so that I can connect with myself and with God. I want to think to myself and look back at all the things I have done in the past one year. I want to review my activities. Want to ask him if I have done the right things in life, if my good deeds weigh more than my bad. When will I get time to do this?? I am loosing touch with myself and him. Infact, I have been living just for the sake of others for the past few months. Why is it that even if you try to prioritize, you always place others before you? Why???? Is this just a feeling I have OR…
