No need to tell that 3 IDIOTS is an awesome movie ...
But it gives us an opportunity to think that is there something terribly wrong with Indian Education System?
After watching the movie 5 times in theatre (no its not that I couldn't understand it in the previous 4 attempts, its just that I liked the movie so much), I tried to ask myself the same question, what the movie posed.
1. Whether I wanted to become an Engineer or my parents pushed me towards this?
2. Whether I like the work I do as an Engineer?
Fortunately, I didn't know till 10th standard that I would like to become an Engineer. And most importantly my parents never forced me to become one. They just wanted me to study well and decide upon my future, that's it. I would like to thank my then school friends, who told me what to do of my grim future at that point of time. So can't really say that Engineering was my passion. Secondly, anyone who has a good aptitude and an understanding of Physics can be an Engineer. So the question that whether you like Engineering, boils down to whether you can understand it. In this respect, yes I fully love my work as an Engineer .... Now whatever, that might mean to you !!!
Wherever I go, students get enroll in an Engineering college, the completion upon which invariably go to a management college, later on to work in some financing firm or as an entrepreneur ... the list is endless. The point is, do we really need so many managers, marketing executives, finance experts ... etc AT THE COST OF ENGINEERS. I really can't appreciate people doing there engineering and finally ending up in a banking firm after doing a postgraduation in business administration. One of my bosses told it to me that in the future there will be a dearth of technical experts in our country. Why afterall does a mechanical engineer, for instance, does an MBA and ends up doing a job in a bank? Well, the reason that I can understand (many people doing MBA will not agree to this) is that doing an MBA will fetch much more money and an astonishing lifestyle than that doing an MS or an MTech. Moreover I have seen many engineers taking CAT because they feel that if one of their classmates who was considered to be a duffer in studies can crack CAT, why can't they? Whatever be the reason, there is a very small proportion of people (engineers) who have a passion for management.
Still not able to understand what I wanted to convey??? Then you better watch 3 IDIOTS once again, on my request !!!
