Pity...

Pity that i am an engineer,pity that i belong to VTU,pity that it remains in the same unchanged,pathetic condition ever after 9 years.
The excitement of understanding a concept,the excitement of its application.The intellectual stimulation got by contradicting ideas.The Independence achieved in technical thinking and reasoning structure.Pity that VTU students don't experience it,pity that they don't want to either.
I unfortunately belong to this blind army of students who refuse to QUESTION.This is contrary to the belief of researchers who claim that the Y generation(us) questions and then reasons out.
The lecturers force it down our throats,a stodgy meal of nutritious and fattening food.Nutritious,the subjects we need as engineers,scientists;and the fattening-obsolete subjects which don't help us in any way,only burdens us.We just chew and re chew on it,without questioning.We just ACCEPT it.We just soak the sponge with four months of material,then squeeze it clean for the next four months.Unfortunately,retaining nothing at the end of four years.What makes us more knowledgeable at the end of it?..the laminated sheet of your degree?
I don't blame anyone.The system seems self-sufficient.Lecturers who fail to inspire,with brain dead wannabe engineers who dream of only lucrative salaries,the comfort with which the system is running makes sense now. I haven't taken my stand on this issue,the money beckons me and the knowledge stimulates me,craving for more.I am divided and by taking my stand,I will only be a hypocrite. But i took a vow,to QUESTION....
to replace the sponge with a book..
