KILLING THE CREATIVITY???????

This blog is dedicated to the engineers being shaped under VTU(i dont know the fate of other universities....)

4 years....8 semesters....tight schedule....no time for extra curricular activities....no time to sleep.....no time to eat n enjoy........that's usually the fate of an engineering student under VTU.....the extra classes is what he eats....the most boring lectures is wat he drinks....the least internal marks is what he digests.......and finally a few number of backlogs..........and above all an overflow of tension in his 'beautiful mind'......and in the last year he gets a job in an IT industry and forgets the frustration...the tears...the tension...the night outs.....all that he has faced in 4 years(at least!!!!)........but doesnt realise that again in the industry he's going to work under someone who never cares of you.......who u r......where u r from and what u did as long as u r in the industry......all that he needs is a bull(effort) and a horse(speed)combined together(i'd call him a "borse")....u r given different diseases and a handful of salary at the end.......and we really enjoy it.....we love slavery!!!!

all that i wanna ask is why cant we start our own industry when we are trained here for 4 yrs to be leaders.....(that's what we r told..)....where has our innovation gone? where has our creativity gone? GOOGLE, Hewlwtt-Packard,sun systems and many more to name.....are the products of stanford university....why only stanford? why not VTU? why only a stanfordite can afford thinking this? why cant a person coming out from VTU?
well i've come out with some reasons.......1000 years of slavery has changed our ability to think new....has killed our ability to raise questions.....has killed the ability to oppose and win....has killed our ability to fight for rights...
as the british people said "we are introducing a system of education where we create clerks and nothing more.........a person who can work all his life for a salary and never speak and raise a question"......that system continues till today....

we are afraid of challenging the professor b'coz he has our internal marks with him....we cant question our HOD 'coz he can dismiss us from the college....
we cant question our university 'coz our degree is with VTU.....we are afraid of the things.....

what is the 4 yrs of study given us? according to me education is one which builds creativity and the ability to think in a person......is our engineering education doing this? if yes then y r we failing to lead? why do we work under someone? (read 5 pt someone.....the best thing i've learnt from that is the thing i'm discussing here!!!!)we feel proud to be engineers...but what are we really proud of? spending 50000 every year? or sitting in the a.c for the rest of the life serving someone?or the way we have spent the 4 yrs of our life struggling to score a single mark? or anything else???????

they say that China,Japan,Singapore and some other nations, the core commitee in their govt cabinet is a group of engineers....its they who plan the infrastructure,it's they who build the nation.......but what has happened to the nation who has produced and is producing the best engineers? why are we strugling for a job which fetches us nothing but a heavy bank account?

finally i'd like to say that it's high time for us to join hands together and start something new where we are the masters and we are the leaders....only the leaders can lead the nation and help it reach new heights......only then it's possible to make APJ Abdul Kalam's dream, to make India a developed nation by 2020, come true.

Let us say whole heartedly and in unison "param vaibhavam ne tume tat swarashtram" ........

think about it.......think about IT....

thats all for today....
