Blame It On India... OR Read Ahead

Well most people would have encountered this thought- this is because we are in this country.Here competition is cut-throat, there's hardly any environment for the growth of an individual, people hardly care for potential here.Blame it on India, blame it on the damn politicians!Okay no preaching here... we have heard dialogues in Swades (2004) and more recently Rang de Basanti (2006),"no country is perfect..." and more crap.Well the crap is quite true.Ok admitted, we have less than 4000 seats in IIT, and after discounting the reservation bull-shit, the figure cuts an even more sorry figure.But hang-on, getting or not getting into IIT, is not the end of it.We, guys, are currently the hot-spot of the world, everybody wants to invest in India, every company wants to come to India- result: 50,000 jobs in IT sector, and atleast half as many jobs in other sectors each.


So, the moral of the story is... even if you didn't make it to IIT or even NIT, then too you have a great future ahead, and I'm not talking about starting preparing for CAT straightaway (IIM in my opinion is a tougher nut to crack!).Okay the exams are over now, maybe you didn't incorporate your full strength, but thinking about it now is going to be of no use.You can either drop a year (a very sensible move if you appeared for your 12th this year...though it's kind of a risk considering the reservation sword hanging on our heads).Or you can join the best college you can get with your capabilities, believe me guys its not bad as people around you may tell you.

And btw (thats by-the-way..), engineering isn't the only option either, there are so many other avenues, business management, hotel management, journalism, media, fashion designing... agreed many of these can be pursued only at the post-graduation level, but you can surely save a lot of time and energy by choosing bachelor's in a lighter stream that will give you the resources to concentrate on your special talent (yes everybody has some, which is what's required in the fields I was talking about).

Umm... I guess I got much to motivating and preachy today... hell!Well I had expected a better response at the comments section though....I guess too many blogs out there these days, more writers than readers, well what can I do... except to say "Screw All Those Stupid Blogs!"
