Beware of Fancy education.

It appears to be so funny when I listen to the +2 passed guys spell out their choice of the branch of study they want to take up.

Some guys say that they want to take up bio-technology .

Some guys want only electronics and communication Engineering …!!!

If they say that they want to take up computer science, it sounds little logical, because they have some feel of the process of computer programming. But with near zero knowledge about ECE & Bio-tech how they have become passionate about these two branches?

There is one more comedy called bio informatics.

The colleges are definitely making huge collections exploiting this craze.

Once the guys finish their engineering, the management education craze starts. Most of the Management institutes have a single building, a medium size library, two class rooms and a small seminar hall. This is their infrastructure!! They collect astronomical fees of the order of 13 lakhs. to 16 lakhs.

A multi million racket is in place for looting money in the name of entrance examinations. Wasting so much of time on entrance examinations lakhs and lakhs of unsuccessful candidates gain absolutely nothing in terms of knowledge but gain an inferiority complex over the guys who could make it to some half baked management institutes.

If you look at where the guys are placed after their MBA’s is mostly in financial institutions.

Financial institutions also express their opinion that CA’s are better equipped to handle the job than any MBA. So the management institutes after swindling whooping millions can only offer second grade managers.

The saddest part is that for the so called ECE, Biotech and MBA the candidates take heavy loans from bank or drain the resources of their parents.

Of course some parents are so aggressive to see their sons and daughters as Management Executives at a very young age. Alas!
1.A management position is always strenuous.
2.Emotional Intelligence is a skill to be acquired by experience like car driving and cannot be learnt in colleges.
3.The charm and beauty of life will be lost if from the day one of employment the young people assume position of higher responsibility. This can be evidenced even in government services.

This phenomenon is greatly pampered by the materialistic society
because, the capitalists are not concerned about quality of life of their
Managers. They want some young horses to pull their dream Chariots of expansion and growth.

Unfortunately(fortunately?) at very young age the sons and daughters of the business men have to sit as The Boss in the company.

This should be the justification for the so called B-Schools and an MBA degree behind the name is the highest value jewel like GOLD.
Unfortunately the degree cannot be liquidated. The banks consider this and offer education loan if an immovable property is given as collateral security.

You may share my views or may contradict, but I finally hold on to the wisdom

“It is wiser to reach higher position in carrier with good bank balance, experience and people skill. It is unwise to aim for the same with loan balance and little experience and inadequate people skill”

Education is a continuous process and has to be pursued through out life.

Dreams,Goals and Targets.

Dream is a term talked very much these days. The word has found a place in the corporate world and whether people understand it or not, using this has become a fashion. The recent popularity of this term may be due to the fact that our Past President Dr. APJ.Abdul Kalam used this to motivate young people. It is very true that once you have a strong dream, every thing around you will align to make you realise your dream. I can quote many instances in my own life to support this. The trouble is how to have a strong dream. It appears that ones dream very much depends on his basic attitude. If by virtue of your attitude, you are comfortable the way you are, reading a book like 'The Magic of Thinking Big ' will not move you even a little to form your own dream. To read the book itself you need to have an attitude. All of us are born in environments that are never our choices. We are born with certain facilities and certain commitments. However the dream can just enter your inne...

The beliefs that drive people( For those who are interested in “Why')

April 24,2012 was celebrated as Akshaya Thrithiyai a festival recently rediscovered to buy gold. It all started five years ago when a smart jeweler in our town caught hold of a so called Prohit to sow a belief that will boost his sales. A Prohit is a person who projects himself to have great knowledge of Hindu rituals and dresses him self in distinctly peculiar ways, fore head shaved and the hair left to grow long on the back is tied in a knot. They wear some religious marks on the temple either three horizontal bands of holy ash or a white U or Y mark having a red line in the middle. Just as one does not question an automobile mechanic, people in India do not question these Prohits also. It is understood that there are some Veda Schools that teach the authentic techniques for the popular rituals and the Vedic rhymes that are to be chanted as mantras during the rituals. But most of these Prohits do not study there. They gain the knowledge of these mantras from some senior Prohit. Th...

The Gods of Health

Most of us have great faith on God. Being pious is a comforting feeling and adds to the psychological strength. If we have some problems, we pray God and we believe that our prayer is heard. Most of the time the problem get solved or we accept the bad results as our fate. Similar faith we seem to build on the doctors. If we are ill we go to doctors and religiously obey their words and gulp what ever they give as medicines. I have asked many of my friends and acquaintances, who are under treatment for some common ailments like fever about the medicines they take. Even well educated people are ignorant of the names of the medicines they take. So people have great faith in doctors and this really makes doctors to behave like super human beings in charge of the life and health of living beings. In this part of the world where I live doctors want every one of their patients to patiently wait for hours in the ill equipped waiting room. Friends are no exception to this general waiting ...
