Remember this phrase??...Does it remind you of something??... I am sure most of you must have retraced the movie “3 idiots” from your cluster of grey cells by now.
It was not only the circumstance of Farhaan, where the father decides “mera beta engineer banega ” even before the child opens his eyes to witness the sunshine or feel the first raindrops; the story of Farhaan depicts the fate of many students today.
Most of the crew aboard on the so-called generation next cruise suffer from the malfunction of “UNFULFILLED DREAMS”.
Be it the need of the rat-race hour or the pressure from our parents, we have to succumb to the situation and forgo our beautiful childhood aspirations in the hands of reality.
Every year with the advent of the 10th board result, begins the tragic saga of a large majority of students of our country. This is the very first checkpoint of our “well-designed” education system which creates divisions in every peer group as follows…
· 90% & above-science stream
· 75 to 85%-arts
· Rest-commerce
What-so-ever be our ambitions or dreams, the sections have already been designed by our forefathers and the tradition hence continues.
The decision therefore has been taken even before we realise, and the only option left with us, is to stop cribbing and get to work as soon as possible.
It definitely takes some time for most of us to accept the situation but finally we relinquish and as time passes we learn to slog. With low but surely some spirits left within us we take up this challenge and start the journey of “no excellence, only gain”. The one and only mission leftover in our lives is then to gain marks and end up doing a job which helps us fulfill not only the basic necessities of life(roti,kapda aur makaan) but also to keep up to the standards of the high society be it on the cost of our lifelong happiness.
This again categorises the youth into two broad sections…
The certain proportion of youngsters who are not able to cope up and find suicide as their respite.
While there is this another group who certainly do not take up any such drastic measures and keep carrying the burden. But after a certain extent, even their conscience starts begging for the permission of euthanasia.
Hence the biggest question still remains unanswered…..
When are we…..the coolest tagged generation of all times going to make “THE BIG GESTURE???”…
And when finally will we throw down the gauntlet upon these age old traditions so that we get back the freedom to spread out our wings and fly….
