The biggest division man is forced to make on a daily
basis is whether he can squeeze just five more minutes of
sleep and not be late. Yes, the struggle is real. Deciding
to write this article took about ten minutes of debate
between my conscience and my brain. Sure, there are
people who go out there and get things done. I’m not
one of them. My life motto is ‘Just live in the present’
which, I am told, is code word for ‘I am as prepared for
life as a two year old.’
The constant conundrum that takes place in a human
mind is whether to get it over with or enjoy the little
time you have is inevitable. I’m no psychologist but
procrastination given an adrenaline rush. The final
sprint to the finish line gives so much excitement and a
dopamine overload that you feel like a rebel. In so many
moments of life you fight with yourself. To make the
right decisions, to do or not to do, to change, to adapt.
With incredible cognitive strength humans are equipped
to make tough decisions. And sometimes you ignore
what might happen if you don’t do something at the
right time. Ignorance is bliss. Then you are pulled into a
quandary where you struggle between what you want
and what is ethical. Then comes prioritizing. What may
seem important to, you may not be to onlookers. The
constant pressure to do them right is inescapable. And
you are on another weighing scale. They may be wrong,
but you’ll never know for you chose your own path.
This morning I woke, took a look at my bed and imagined
its coziness, the warmth of the blanket and the plushness
of the pillow. Then I walked away.

The Indian education system has often been a two-sided
argument. In a worldly perspective, the Indian education
system has received many accolades and high praise. On
the other hand the Indian education system is perceived to
have certain flaws when seen from the Indian perspective.
Anywhere that you go in the world, you will find an
Indian there! They dominate the important roles all over
global
public
school
the world. This serves as a true testament for the positive
aspects of the Indian system of education.
And yet we often find Indians in their own country
working quite difficult jobs for very low wages. This
contradicts the fact that the Indian education system is
to-notch. Hence I believe the merit of the student always
outweighs the education system.
