Exams !!

Engineering is the discipline of acquiring and applying scientific and technical knowledge to the design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes. Well, Wikipedia says that. But is it really so?? I really wonder!! What part of it has left now?

Because for the greater part of the mob, engineering in our country has become just a way to earn the living. But the thing which concerns me these days more than that is whenever exam approaches, the engineering people sits holding a book/e-book or some photocopy with tension playing with them, cramming up all n putting it all on the examination booklet. Acquiring knowledge and applying it are something like alien talks; in fact aliens are much more popular now. All they have on their mind at that time is how to score more n more. In fact now a day the children, from the very beginning, since their childhood are learning how to score more with less knowledge, they have never been inspired to acquire more knowledge. As a result of which we people(most of us) never have craving for knowledge.

It is an incident of last endsem, when I had exam of one of the interesting subject(for me),after attempting 40% of paper, I didn’t wish to write anything, mera mann hi nai kar raha tha!, because there was a feeling that I will definitely be able to pass with what I have written then why to write something, if passing only matters to us and when I do have knowledge then what is the sense in writing it somewhere when not applying it. I was fed up of writing just for the sake of those marks which matters nothing other than having some good score on score sheet and feeling good for a time being.But what good this score will do, if we have only theoretical knowledge of things and engineering is all about application, n thing which has to be looked upon is that we do not have some theoretical knowledge even, all we cram just for the so called EXAMS.

So, is doing engineering right if we do not have appropriate interest? Or its course pattern and use of proper resources are not up to the mark to nurture the engineering skills in students? Or pattern of judging the knowledge is erroneous. Is it the fault of students, parents or the system or the whole comprising all of them in which we are studying??

One of my friend say that me n my exam never go well together, may be this is the reason that I have never been convinced by this funda of exams!!

Om Shanti Om

The review which made me to start blogging follows here:


Om Shanti Om, once again Shahrukh Khan's show. The King Khan's name is sufficient to make it a super hit even before its shoot. The movie is introducing the gorgeous model ‘Deepika Padukone’ presenting her damn beautifully but the show remain of sharukh only. The movie do not justifies her acting as it might be knowingly or unknowingly hidden behind the script, camera, retakes, dubbing.

The show begins with a lover guy (our boy Shahrukh Khan named as OM) who immensely loves a superstar (as we all know to Deepika Padukone being casted as SHANTI(priya)) who dies saving her life and as all old age movies he reincarnates(again as OM) and plans to kill the villain, which makes it as Om-Shanti-Om. But movie also contains a secret which do not cut the thread of interest to viewers.

A movie with a decent star cast but strategically publicized fully with 31 stars in one song. The music is rhythmic which is popular among the youth. The song ‘Darde Disco’ also presented the heartthrob Shahrukh’s muscular body which looks as if the is being made to show it the same which can be said for another stand for publicity. In my opine the movie was only a short step ahead for Farah Khan in the field of the direction, just a lil’ bit of finishing is being provided to it than ‘Main Hoon Na’, the first movie directed by her. So, the movie is totally a bollywood mix masala movie with a bit of comedy too in it but a less of emotion comparatively which makes it unlike every Shahrukh’s movie.

So,if u considers that the cinema should provide some message to the mankind or to the society ,then it might not give u a taste but it gives u surety for entertainment or it can better be phrased as ‘kahani poori filmy hai’, so it will be going to engage you pleasantly.
