Errr...
These words that you see here weren't intended. Instead, there should have been a proper post on so many things that are going on in my life. I am being lazy for no particular reason. Procrastination is the word that was put in the dictionary exclusively to describe the meaningless activities of Kaps. I have a copyright on the word. I can sue if you use it without my written permission, and when I say 'I can'.. It actually means 'I definitely will' ..unless you are a beautiful girl who believes in 'quality' time pass while we discuss my other 'meaningful' activities. Did you say you are now procrastinating the use of the word?
That's that!.
That's that!.
Lately, I have been reading a lot about reservations in central funded universities in India. A silent reader, that's what I have been; All the yahoo groups..All the mailing lists that connect me to my Alma Mater, are discussing this issue with full rigor. Different people, different backgrounds, different opinions. Its just fascinating. I mean, being a silent reader-- even that is fascinating! Reading those discussions, arguments and counter-arguments and blame games is the highlight of my day.
Protests, all over.
Students decide to bunk classes to show their anger. That was yesterday in IITK. Were they heard?
students senate in various universities/colleges meet and pass a resolution. They intend to write to the President, hold a protest march in the campus, plan to organize a press conference, try and get themselves heard. Will they succeed?
Bangalore, Alumnus decide to go for a peaceful protest march. They want more and more support am sure they will get it. Will they make a difference?
Lots more. Rumors about IITK and IITB alumni going on a hunger strike/ suicide threats.
If its true, will their concerns be taken care of?
Media, publicize and make money, hoping that finger pointing continues. Big advertisement revenue keeps pouring. Will their profits be worth it?
Bloggers, yet another hot topic to punch words in. I think-I blog types. Will their words be read and commented on?
Answers, I seek. Questions I ask.
But wait.. I am a silent reader!...Let me go read more.
We need a leader.
(that's the bottom line, if u noticed)

aha me first :D
well yes words can be written, spoken, shouted but the main issue is will they be heard, seen, noticed? I know many a times that everything goes as a futile attempt…Thanks for linking my post! Reactions are needed but then more than just being wasted away…the leader is within all of us, just that we have to walk on it on our own and lead the way on our own!
Silent readers...need to start voicing their opinions too :D
If Jessica murder case can be reopened
if IIPM is made to change their advertisements (although the influx of students and *money* continues)
then an optimistic opinion would be yes, it wud make a diff.
the media is increasingly taking account of blogs, and the other protests would sure make some impact on the Govt.
Nahi to Arjun Singh ko uda dete hain, kya bolta hai :)
Possibly there is a threshold of apathy...a limit to the 'readership' in each episode...and sadly we are breaking records when it comes to being mere 'observers'...
The first step is in noticing and voicing...the second step is more difficult...possibly we will be able to find the leader within us ...
......
I challenge the concerned jokers to go ahead with 50% Reservation for not only students but also for teaching staff. Its better that Government builds one more IIT and IIM and call them RIIT and RIIM (R stands for you know what) and let others live in peace and maintain their standards. RIIT and RIIM may be put under AICTE for added glory. It will be wiser for the government to offer the best of education from primary education and make them face the world rather than give them feel of artificial security by reservation.

Its disheartening to see the kind of politics and leadership we have now.
IITs and IIMs will remain Institutions of the government by the government and for the government. One day MHRD may passa resolution stating that each MP is entitled for an IIT or IIM seat as the MPs are serving the nation. On the contrary take the case of BITS Pilani. In the year 2000, BITS Pilani put up a campus at DUBAI. In the year 2004, BITS Pilani commissioned a campus at Goa. In the year 2007 BITS Pilani is spearheading a campus at Hyderabad. Name one IITor IIM which broke the governmental shell and did something like BITS Pilani could do. Every one knows the famous IIM and IIT wanting to set up a Sing apore Campus. Well the song was over long back. We are left only with the National Anthem.
Bhaisahab, can you elaborate on the term, "quality timepass" with regards to a girl.
As far as the reservation system goes, well I am not following it too much except reading about it at few blogs because it doesn't concern me directly now. Also, we are just hearing one side of the story. What does OBCs think about the whole issue? Have we heard their side of story? We can't judge this without hearing both sides.
Also, I feel current generation always have to pay for the misdeeds of their ancestors. Our ancestors screwed up so we will have to pay coz that's how the world works. I have nothing more to say on this issue.
Case closed. I am now waiting for the jury to decide and judge to pass the judgement.
:P I have to come back and properly respond.....
Kaps.....Procrastination is my word now toooo
Guess who ?
you did not remain silent by posting this post :D hehe
PS: @camelpost: an iitian? there was a looong (& enlightening) debate on internal newsgroup inside IITB about setting up IITs outside... some faculty members choose to participate too... after practicality issues almost everyone agreed that the idea be better ditched !!!! Believe me its not worth it given the current scenario in the existing IITs itself!
And, sometimes - silence speaks louder than sound. It does :)
