Science students study, so do others...

Gone are the days when streams in education equalled intelligence, isn’t it? NO! Though it is correct that the scope of varied subjects has widened when we look at them as careers, has the mindset widened?

Science students do get a lot of backing when it comes to their studies and their being busy, and arts to wo log lete hain jinse jyada padhai nahi hoti… NO! If so, then why is it that being a science student is equivalent to a lot of studying?

The answer is simple: being a science student is, in reality, equivalent to a busy schedule but not self-study. To add to it, when a student attends coaching classes, he looks outright busy. Subah 4 ghanta classes karega, fir college jayega jahape wo adha to timepass karega, aur fir practicals attend karke ghar aa jayega. Iske baad shayad extra classes bhi attend karega. All in all, this so-called studying is nothing but attending lectures to gather information for self-studying. Irrespective of the stream, the gathered information has to be translated into knowledge by self-studying by the student itself.

Commerce and Arts students on the other hand attend lectures in college. Whereas commerce students can opt for extra coaching, this doesn’t apply to arts. It is all about self-study when it comes to arts; though the funda of self-study is applicable to all.

Yes, it is true that as compared to science students, commerce and arts students get more time. This surplus time must be used by a student to hone his/her skills and learn something extra that will prove to be a strong backup when the time comes.

Students who don’t study are present across streams. I have seen an Arts student studying (self-studying) more than a science student: studying that includes more than the textbook: out-of-the-box reading, and gathering information of the world because the exam will ask more than what is present in the syllabus. I have seen a commerce student investing time in studying equivalent to a science student, and I have also seen a science student who studies sacrificing everything for the better future. It is the schedule of a science student that creates the delusion, and the one who wants to make a better future will study irrespective of the stream chosen.

There is no future without hard work and be it any stream, hard work matters. Just because someone is in a bank or a newspaper editor doesn’t mean that that person hasn’t worked hard. It is just as much hard work as any other profession.

I request students and parents to not be opinionated and think freely. After all, your kids are the future of the country as well as of your homes.

And hey you! Thanks for being here. Means a lot. If you liked reading this, do share it with others, comment your thoughts on it and help share the optimism.

      Eye opening article.
      Whichever is the stream, your focus should be very clear,so is the ultimate goal which can be easily achieved with consistent self study.

    I totally agree to this blog!!! I feel that 'quality' of the knowledge gained should be given more importance than the 'quantity', irrespective of which stream, vocation or course is chosen by any student.

    As far as I understand; commerce or arts are cousins of Science and so the debate of Science Vs Arts / Commerce and which one is better than that other takes us to the dead end. Science is based on facts, so does arts or commerce. If Secience seeks answers in the outer world, so does commerce. Yet, arts is a journey within. So students from all these three branches need an equal depth of study...not a penny less not a penny more.

Gulmohar teaches

Nature is a great teacher. If we look around ourselves and do not learn from nature, we must be blind to ignore the lessons of the omnipresent. While every single petal, every single leaf is a lesson in itself, one lesson that appeals to me the most is the lesson of the gulmohar tree. Here is a story: He was scolded by his parents for disrupting his sleep cycle. He felt dejected. He felt angry. He didn’t want to wait for a single second in the house. He didn’t want to let his parents know that he would be away for some time. Grabbing the key of his scooter, he softly closed the door and left. To make sure his parents don’t notice anything, he pulled his scooter to the end of the lane, and when out of earshot, he switched on the ignition. After god knows how much time of riding, he spotted a field. It was nearly 6pm and the sun’s rays looked like melted gold on the green grass. He parked his scooter and sat down under a gulmohar tree. He looked up at the six feet tall tree. His eyes gli...

The best advice I’ve ever received.

How many times has it happened that we have received a lot of advice and suggestions? Many times I believe. To add to it, many of these are similar to each other in some cases yet the point is: why is it that only some drive home the message? I guess there are surrounding factors to it. Maybe the experience we may be going through or the context in which we receive the advice… There is a lot of advice I’ve received but this one has stayed with me like no other advice. All of us were once a student and we have been there, done that: we have been typical students at a point in time. During my master's, I was facing some issues with one of the subjects (typical student problems ;)). As usual, we were playing the blame game and yes, you guessed it right, the blame was on the teacher and her teaching skills. A genuine and helping person that she was, we were concerned with her teaching skills at that point in time. We were standing next to the door of our classroom cribbing about ho...

How did I start cycling?

It has been a year that I have taken to cycling. At this point, I would like to share how I got into it. Many would obviously guess that I started cycling for weight loss and considering the way I look now, it is but natural to guess so. But honestly, I started cycling because my mother wanted my life to be better! Mothers do have unconditional love and the power of that love is unparalleled. It all started somewhere in June of 2020. My mother consulted an astrologer regarding my future. The astrologer suggested that I should visit a nearby Hanuman Temple for one and a half months. The people who know me know that I am not a fan of God and visiting temples is not my thing. Yet there are some things that a person does for his family. Initially hesitant, I agreed to the above suggestion. This is because it gives them peace of mind about their son’s future. Initially, I went to the temple on my scooter. Given the pandemic, temples were closed. I just had to go, pray from outside and...
