Reservation...

A lot has been said about reservations and both its pro and cons have been given in huge details...n well as a student( who incidentally are at the receiving end in the whole "How much reservation?" fiasco) I am definitely NOT in favor of having reservation for backward classes.

Most of the institutes take up students on basis of an admission test, n if a student is qualified enough, he gets through, n most of the institutes including BITS Pilani for that matter give scholarship to quite a large number of people who are not financially well off, so it doesn't make sense to first have reservation and then give scholarships to students. The place where politicians should try to enforce reservations is in schools so that the huge numbers of students who cannot afford to go to schools can get the opportunities to excel.Also increasing the percentage of people who cannot pay the fees indirectly screws the rest of the students who have pay higher fee to keep the institute running...whats the sense in that???

But, unfortunately, a politician refuses to see logic, he is more interested in votes..( n seriously how many educated people ever go to vote in elections...).

On a lighter side, I had a few days ago posted abt the creative poets in our campus, here's another thought provoking poem by Dr BR Natarajan(Dean Nattu) about reservations:

Future Shock for India

Wisdomless Politicians
Meritless Admissions

Meaningless Curriculums
Substance less Examinations

Faculty less Departments
Student less Colleges

VC less Universities
Knowledgeless Society

Developmentless Nation
Into that hell of gloomdom

My Father,
Let my country go to Sleep
Let my country go to Sleep...

Good nite...

Kahani abhi baaki hai...

Well, today was the end of our last serious t2( Test2 or the 2nd internals)...as the last year at BITS is for electives and a six months training, so we'll I am gonna miss u T2 :P

However the misery of the toughest sem for the toughest branches( EEE n Eni if you guys couldn't realize that out yet ) is not over yet...With us getting a checked copy of Analog Electronics papers tomm morning( wtf we just gave the exam on saturday..)...the dates for the final lab exam are out...n I am in the first batch :(

And after that is the Communication lab exam..

n then just a couple of weeks for all the nostalgic we can be...some of us are gonna be attending our last few classes together, eating in the mess together for the last few times... cause some of will be moving out for PS2..n will come back in the 8th sem when we'll be out...so its adieu time... :(

So guys its down to 35 days or 840 hours or 50,400 seconds (or simply its too less a time) to have fun n enjoy n talk and spend with all the people who have been a cushion for all the bumps and kicks life has given you these 3 yrs...
