disowned by my country

its hard to believe that after reserving seats for sc's, st's and obc's in colleges, we can still call ourselves a democracy.

is this democracy? it is pure and simple discrimination. and the only people who are gonna benifit out of this are the politicians. not the scheduled castes or other backward castes(the only people who benifit out of the quota sytem are filthy rich people, who just happen to also be sheduled castes), but the politicians only.

reason? try and think, has it ever happenned that when a motion has been passed, EVERY SINGLE PARTY, including the opposition, has seconded it? not really. then why this time, all parties have agreed to the quota system? hmmm...could it be....the elections round the corner??? yes of course it could be, and it is.

why cant the government provide subsidised primary education? if every child gets the same education, the same books, the same teachers then each one has absolutely equal opportunities. it removes the need for reservation of seats for them in collleges.

secondly, most students who get into the premier institutes of our country on the basis of reservation drop out by the end of the 2nd year, as they cannot cope with the curriculum. obviously they cannot, as they HAVE NOT EVEN STUDIED THE COURSE REQUIRED TO CLEAR THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS OF THAT PARTICULAR COLLEGE. is this fair? students who slog for months on end miss out, but people who dont study a word get in just like that. also, the number of seats which are wasted due to the dropping out of the quota students is crazy, and totally unfair to other aspirants.

after this, can the students be blamed if they go abroad to pursue higher education? after all, their own country is practically kicking them out.

future IITian..not

perpetual happiness

its 2 am n i'm chattin wit a friend. i was practically fallin asleep a moment ago but somethin which he asked me right now has seriously woken me up. he asked me, 'how come ur happy all the time?' and i've never actually thought about it ever. i'm a normal teenager with normal teenage problems n i've never thought of myself as an extraordinarily cheerful person or anything. his question has given me a major jolt. i'm askin myself, do i really come across as a perpetually happy person? and since this question has come from one of my close friends, its even more.......provoking. its not some randon comment by a person who barely knows me. am i really so private that some of my closest friends actually think i hv no problems?? i seriously need some soul searching to find out wot exactly is goin on here. and whether i bottle things up way more often than necessary....
