Tired of all things
Its a waste of time , I say. Writing assignments , doing seminars , exams , exams ,exams , exams .
Arre what is the point ... at work I am simply going to sit in front of the kompooter , tapping at the keyboard ... why do I learn integral e power x and differential of e power theta raised to omega - rekha ...
Welcome to the world of useless education ... where you never use what you learn .
Take chemistry boss.... you learnt organic, you learnt inorganic , thermal , physical , you learnt reagants , catalyst ,protein , dna . All the chemistry I use now is to check if the water I drink has no kachada in it . Only organic chemical I know is alcohol , found in TASMAC in plenty quantities. Why bother learning all that ?
Again Boss you come to college ... learn fourier transform , laplacian and volume integral ... While I know fourier transform is used to encode video signals why bother ? All I want to watch is Chikni CHameli . I dont care if you send it by fourier transfrom or Courier . Number theory I learnt. Matrix I learnt. The only matrix I remember ki is the movie from 1999 with all its stunts and flying kicks still copied by Vijayakanth and Vijay . Statistics I sitting and mugging in school . ALl I want to know is the batting avg of Sachin Tendulkar . WHY i BOTHER abouther variance and deviation . All I know about deviation is when my mother says " Beta , you no studying at home ... TV is deviating you . study kanna.Become BIG engineer .Earn well " . I think "Amma, if I want to earn money , I become politician only . Quick and simple ... all black money , no tax , full power . I go to law college , become lawyer then turn politician like Vandumurugan . Why I come to engineering and break head ?? "
Only BODMAS is putting soru(white rice) for me wherever I go . Nothing more than add , mul ,sub and div useful in real life . then why I learn geometry ??
Lets not forget physics tambi . When bus stopping , I jump front .Me hurt no , me get down like gethu ... physics yes , but I dont have to understand it . The quantum theory of physics .You mutta pasanga ... you cant even see atom . Why you bother about it ? You cannot see force ,,, why then formulate stupid equations to calculate it ? Me learn Newtonian physics and thermodynamics and carnot engine .... but only petrol and diesel engine matter in real life .
4 years of learning .... before that 14 years of preparation . Most of us are going to go into the service sector , catering to the needs of a guy 20000 km away , nodding and moving to his whims and fancies . Why do we then have to waste so much time to become nothing more than a hired servant with a regular salary ?
I am not blaming engineering or the staff or students. I am just pointing out the drudgery it has become . Insted of being a way to look and manipulate our world better , it has become too machinistic ( if I am permitted to use my own words ) . No more is engineering a challenge , innovative thinking . Big things are done by guys at IIT , so why do I have to bother ? I learn just to get a job , a wife , a house and settle down . This is how animals live , not men and certainly not intelligent and capable men .
Yes , there is a lot of stuff that simply is never used by us after we have learnt it , atleast not directly. However , everything affects us in its own way . FFT might be a pig to learn , but nothing can describe the joy of watching your favorite song or sports match online in YouTube . (you may thank FFT for that silently . Relax no one is going to hear you ).We neednt worry about why we dont apply what we learn . Rather its time we think about how to apply what we learnt. Education isnt just about formulae and equations . Its an experiment where you make mistakes and learn from them.
You may not use everything just after you've learnt it , but when the time comes you should be glad that you did .
So boss , I think I bore you lot with philosophy , dont worry . Its just like another theory class , you sleep with eye open nodding head when teacher says you understand . So after reading this , tell friend you understood the fundamental roots of the question to the meaning of life and all iz well.... forget this after you read and go to movie and enjoy the rest of the day.
