Professional colleges

Just finished reading "Keep off the grass" by Karam Bajaj. It is somewhat similar to "5 point someone" (remember 3 idiots movie) by Chetan Bhagat.

The common theme is that in our professional institutes the system is quite screwed up. Students are treated worse than donkeys as they are loaded with tutorials, very frequent mid semester exams etc. Classmates turn backstabber as they want to secure more marks than you. Creativity is discouraged and learning by rote is encouraged.

I see myself in the main characters of the above 2 novels as I was also sort of rebel to the system. Though not to the extreme extent. Barring a very few, I never made rather could not make friends in the college...almost the whole batch was full of selfish, cunning, rote learning donkeys, moving-up-by-crushing-your-head type of people.

I have seen strange creatures in my engineering college......maybe I should write about them here..it can become good case studies on weird human behaviors ...maybe some day... :-)
