SCRAPING X CLASS EXAMS

The proposal to scrap the X class boardexams as far as I'm concerned is one of the most important moves.It will give a big blow to the tuition centres which are minting money in the name of coaching and a big relief from children who will be pressurised to excel in the exams both from their parents and teachers.Mr.Kapil Sibal must also ensure that a lot of vocational subjects are included in the curriculum so that students can have an idea of an industry or a research life.

There must be as many practical classes as possible so that Indian children will be enriched in knowledge.

Education should give more importance to values,the Indian culture and at the same time be world class.Children must also be taught in such a way that they can enjoy their childhood to the fullest extent possible.

Above all quality education must no longer remain a distant dream for the underprivileged children.

Will the present government look into all these features?

Shameful Act

In our country ,throwing shoes at politicians these days have become a casual occurence in public meetings or press conferences.

The first one was aimed at Mr.P.Chidambaram.Though I was indifferent in the beginning,my mother told me that in the US,shoes were thrown at Bush,not by a non-American."But look at the condition of India wherein one amongst us had did this shameful act."

Only then I realised what a shameful act has happened in our country.

But did it stop there?Two more such incidents followed this: One at Mr.Advani and the other was attempted by not so good college student for the sake of mere publicity at the PM himself?

Where are heading as a nation is a real big ?

NO LUCK FOR MUNNABHAI

"NO LUCK FOR MUNNABHAI" had been the Times of India Headlines on April 1st or for that matter the tag for previous day for news about Sanjay Dutt on CNN-IBN.

I really don't understand how the welleducated journalists used the word "luck" in this context as contesting in elections should never be one's luck.This is the unfortunate state of Indian Politics.

Munnabhai didnot get the privilege to contest the elections as he was sentenced to six years imprionment by the Mumbai anti terror court under the Arms Act in connection with 1993 Mumbai blasts and was disqualified from contesting the elections under the Section 8 (3) of the Representation of People Act,. and it is not that for no reason at all he was not allowed.

As per electoral laws, a person convicted for a criminal offence and sentenced to jail for more than two years is barred from running for elections.

But for people like me such debarrings is one of the pleasant news to hear.

FACING THE ELECTIONS-JAI HO!!!

Yesterday's CNN-IBN "FACING THE ELECTIONS" had thrown light upon the independent candidates contesting in the elections.The two most impressing candidates are "Ms.Mallika Sarabhai and Ms.Meera Sanyal".Ms. Meera Sanyal is currently the Country Head of ABN-Amro Bank.I feel really happy to see the women in such a position in India.I wish from the deep of my heart that these persons win the elections so that Indian politics can be redefined.Jai Ho to both of them.

FAREWELL PARTY AT MALANJKHAND

I was given three farewell parties at Malanjkhand...

My official farewell at the Chartola Club was really very emotional and it will remain as one of the most important events in my life especially the GM Bhatoa sir's speech in praise of me, is a real rejuvenating tonic whenever I feel sick and tired about life.Perseverance pays...

The other farewell party by my team was a picnic arranged exclusively for me in which I was gifted a watch.In a span of one year and nine months,I've been fortunate enough to go to three picnic spots along with my then team-One to mukhi on the outskirts of Kanha National Park,second one to Bharumdev which is yet another in Chhattisgarh border and the last one had been the place where a particular river originates(The river name exactly I don't remember).

The last farewell was at my office.It was an official one.All the three farewell parties will remain as pleasant memories.
