I am still a kid. I become friend easily. I get hurt easily. I am yet to attain the maturity. I am yet to take life seriously. I have to be organized. I have to prioritize.
I have to transform......and let it begin. NOW!!!

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik and great Indian hypocrisy
Sania is getting married to Shoaib who is a Pakistani. Suddenly tabloids are full of assholes who are wishing these couple luck, talking of success of marriage between a Pakistani and an Indian, asking the media to leave them alone...in short an shameful attempt to influence people opinion.
Background of the story is there is an another woman Ayesha Siddiqi who claims to be the first wife of Shoaib Akhtar. Shoaib denies that. The nikah namah between the two had been signed around the year 2004.
So now for full 6 years Shoaib had not met his wife (height of celibacy) and even if he met her, no attempt had been made by him to nullify the nikah namah or take a divorce.
And if he had not divorce her, she is still his lawful wife, and assholes in Tabloids are a least bit concern for her future. Just because she is fat, she should be denied the happiness of a marriage or a companion. Did she cheated Shoaib into marrying her, then Shoaib is a dimwit and Sania has a bleak future ahead.
Whatever the case may be, it is indeed shameful, but at least I know some of the people who are hypocrites, and their names are all in the tabloid.

Right to Education
The Government has introduced Right to Education bill which promises education free education for student from standard 1 to 8. There would be no grading or stopping any one from being promoted.
This is the beauty of governance. "The make feel good" factor and "Keep poor and wanted factor" which are the two tools which guarantees re election to the power.
Why I am pessimistic of the Education Bill -
1. 50% of children in this country suffer from malnutrition.
2. Mid-day meal scheme has failed to bring students to school. People only come to have food and then leave for the day.
3. Human is a social animal, and "survival of the fittest" is applicable to this animal also. By removing competition are we are giving rise to irresponsibility where teachers as well as students won't take their jobs seriously.
I have seen how a majority of students neglect their 11th Standard exams, just because it fells between two board examinations which decides the course of the Student Life. Standard 10 exams decides the stream - Science, Commerce or Arts. And Standard 12 exams decides whether the person is going to be an Engineer, Doctor or continue with Graduation.
Many colleges promotes their Standard 11 students, so as to make way to retain more students and thus be profitable. Assured of promotion, Students neglect their studies and might go astray. Even I have been victim of such an environment where in after scoring 98/100 in Maths, due to look cool, completely ignored my second term studies and remembered walking on the streets the day when Second term exam for Maths was held.I did not appear just because of the fear of failing. I was lucky to recover because my father could afford me a private coaching class for standard 12.
Thus the policy of Government as per education leaves lot of areas unanswered and raises doubts of its success.
What is required is assurance of near about same quality of education across segment. There is significant difference in quality among high class (likes of Bombay Scottish), middle class (Fatima, St Joseph) and lower class (Municipality Schools). See class difference begins at child level only.
What is required is assurance that it would not lead to population explosion and a large pool of educated but lacking quality professionals.
What is required is assurance that there are sufficient budget available for this purpose. Already the government is reeling under the pressure of subsidy on fertilizers and gas, how come they would finance this? More Taxes or increasing the education cess.
This is nothing but a ploy of government to make middle class feel good, and keep poor, poor creating an illusion, that they are their lifeline, if not they then all these freebies would be taken away, even though these freebies are responsible for their poverty. And the rich people do not vote.
