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.

Single road

I have always felt that single roads require more skill to tackle. Recently, I was driving on a single road and the train of thoughts started journeying as I kept munching those miles. The vehicle in the opposite lane was far away and hence, I put my foot on the accelerator to overtake the vehicle in front of me. Just then, another vehicle from behind interrupted my flow and went ahead. On that very road ahead, when I overtook another vehicle, the distance between the vehicle I was overtaking and the one coming from the opposite end was lesser than before. I still managed to do it because the ones ahead of me and in the opposite lane cooperated. At another point, I started overtaking but I was not accelerating fast enough and even though it was safe to overtake, I stopped. If you have experienced any of these things, you must have realised that single roads can’t be managed without the cooperation of others. Of course, not everyone cooperates and you get to see all kinds of drive...

Break or Breakdown?

We all deserve a break. Hang on! The question is: won’t we lag behind if we take a break? I come across many who take frequent breaks at the wrong times. What ensues is a disrupted schedule and breakneck workload. To cope with the load, guess what? Another break. Consequently massive chaos and the decision to avoid taking breaks from the next time. This doesn’t mean that breaks aren’t essential. They surely are! And this blog post is all about the importance of taking breaks. Given our age, we all have different notion of breaks. The ones who don’t really work in a productive way keep on taking breaks. On the contrary, the ones who work with passion often forget the importance of breaks. They say that they fall short of time to take a break. They fear missing the deadline. Surprisingly and contrastingly, a well-earned break will take them closer to their goal! Taking a break means truly separating yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally from that task to indulge in somet...

First century ride - 19 Feb '21

26 January 2021… it must have been my second group ride. I met Nitin Pathak sir again that day. I had met him on the 1 st January ride but for a brief period of time. While we were departing for our respective homes, he asked me to join him for a ride. “At what time do you go for the ride?” “6:30.” “Join me tomorrow. Instead of 6:30, get up a bit earlier, and let us begin at 6.” I agreed and the next morning, we went on a ride. We were four and while returning, we stopped at this roadside dhaba for a delicious breakfast of poha and tea. While we were generally discussing long rides, I said that the presence of professionals in the group would inspire the group to do more. That instant Pathak sir responded, “We can very well do all these things by ourselves. It is not at all difficult. Let us ride a 100 KM distance. What say?” The idea was thrilling. For me, it would mean my first ever 100 km ride. I suggested Pathak sir that we should go in February considering that all of u...
