Open book - Closed book ???

From standard one till final year graduation...
The exams were "close book close minds"

At PG, the concept of "open book close mind" prevailed...

We werent happy then...
"Whats the learning in cramming nd pouring out"

We arent any happier today either...
"Whats the learning in searching the index nd pouring out"

Then came something called "case study" approach...
Apparently it was supposed to "open" us for the real world..

But we are not happy this way also...
Why??

Coz for 25 odd years we were used to a spoon fed education system..
This is in course.. That is not..
This has to be read.. That not..
This has more weightage... That can be left...
Nd more such this and thats...

Someone said grades are not important, learnings are...

I second the opinion..
Doesnt mean I dont want grades...

My point is..
If you have learnt, grades would follow by default..
They are stuck by their bums..
Remember Fevicol..
Mazboot jod...
Tootega nahi...
Exactly like that..

Doesnt matter what mode of education you have been through all your lives and what you prefer or whatever...
If you can understand, you have the edge...
Be it grades...
Be it interviews..
Be it life as a whole...

Apportion..
Segment..
Prioritize...

Here you need to mug and vomit..
Here you need to apply..
And here you dont need to do anything...

As simple as that...
Too much to ask for?????????
You decide...

Now go read something worthwhile...
Main to pagal hun.. likhta hi rahoonga...
