Stu'dying'

Since the time we were four to the time we are nearly 25 or in some cases, till 30, we are made to do something which we all despise - yes, you guessed it right - study.

A cell phone wallpaper proclaims - "I was born intelligent but education ruined me". We might all take this thing in a light hearted way, but we all wish it was true.

How wonderful would life have been if we could do whatever we want and whenever we want to. Ahhh!!! Bliss!!

Instead here we are, trying hard (?) to get into IIT's or whatever.

My dad tells me that education should be something which helps you in life, something which you can use to live in a better way.

I think for a while... Then I wonder, will anything I am learning now help me in life?

Oh yes!!! I could use trigonometry when I am in danger of falling off a mountain to measure how deep my fall would be and feel happy that I calculated how well my body would be crushed when I finally fall.

If my car was in danger of colliding, I will calculate at what distance I should apply the breaks using laws of motion and come to know that the collision will not be an elastic collision using the knowledge I have attained by reading the 'collisions' chapter.

If I will ever be asphyxiated, i will surely realize that the gas being used to suffocate me is Carbon-di-Oxide!!

How sad it would have been if I were uneducated... I wouldn't have realised how I was gonna die...

Pink Floyd realized it almost 50 years ago, but some of us still don't - "We don't need no education".

Hell yeah.

"We don't need no education.
We don't need no thoght control.
No dark sarcasm in the class room.
Teachers leave us kids alone"
