Education, just for a job or...?

Yes, We can get a highly paid job after getting a degree from any institute, but that is not the sole purpose of education. This education should also add moral values to my life and transform me into a better, more sensitive individual than what I am today, with a sense of responsibility towards the society. I am not saying all that to win laurels or to be known as a humanitarian. I believe that this society has enabled me to achieve education at this premier institution, and now it’s my turn to square up with it. I think it can be done by not just only understanding various problems such as illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, corruption and malnutrition etc., but also finding a solution of these. Though, I realize that this is a mammoth task, requiring great amount of determination and energy, but I look ahead to draw the desired strength from the education that I am achieving here.

India : 60 years Older or Younger!

Tomorrow we are going to celebrate India's 60th Independence Day. India has changed a lot in past 60 years of independence. I'm not able to decide whether India has turned 60 years older or younger. Patriotism has taken a new form in this era. The new generation expresses it's respect towards nation on this day by forwarding messages, scrapping pals and wishing Happy Independence to each other. It seems India has turned 60 years younger. But there is another side of the story... the same internet savvy young generation neglects India on the other days and feels ashamed of being an Indian because it's corrupted, dirty, bursting with population, full of people living in abject poverty, mismanaged, and so on. Their attitude towards India gives a feeling that they have lost hope about our country and there I feel that India has become 60 years older.
