Blogging as a Subject

Posted by karthiksn

    I for the first time really mean what my title says. I had just a thought what would happen if in some near future blogging actually became a topic in the curriculum of the schools. We might see a mad rush of young students coming out to blog on net and actually competing with their fellow classmates probably for grades. Maybe their grades will be determined by the pagerank they have for their own blog.

               Though it’s a quite innovative idea I believe, but bad for the health of upcoming bloggers as many of those kids might grow up to take blogging as an interest and end up thinking that blogging is just about pageranks. One might presume that nothing good might come out of this but actually someting good will come out of it.

             Someone with a spirit of a true blogger might end up making a blog that would tell others about the happenings of the school. They might not blog for the grades but for the pure joy of freedom a blogger gets while typing a post. They would definitely be the true bloggers who will or may take up blogging seriously in life.

         Many subjects have been degraded just because they were pulled into the curriculum making them a part of the studies. I personally believe that subjects like arts and crafts should never be part of curriculum  but should be extracurricular activities though many schools in Inida have them as subjects making them a subject were kids compete rather than enjoying what they are doing. Heck I would say adding computers to curriculum is bad as some people have keen interest and want to learn something different in computers but as they are limited to their schools, they learn nothing but old programs and stuff that is near obsolescence and teachers who don’t know anything other than what the kids have in their books.

          But unfortunately we can’t stop time and as time flies by these words may come true at some point making the whole blogging scenario nothing but a big joke.

To Speak or not to Speak

Posted by karthiksn

            In my class some days ago, we had a disscussion about the topic “Speech is better than writing or not”. It was then, it came to my notice that people really have forogtten the importance of writing. I saw kids saying this and that about speaking but only very few(three to be exact including me) where talking that writing is important. I know that both are important but I was shocked to see how people blindly believed that speaking was more important than writing. I was thnking what if our historians never wrote the history or recorded it, all our history might have been just some fairytale told to us by our grand-mothers. Very few of them did believe that both are important but weren’t able to explain why.
                
                         It was like they forgot that their languages would have been non-existent, if there were no script for it. I believe that soon people will stop using pen and paper but still the scripts of all languages will live on in the computers.  I guess we do soon realize that if we neglect writing we might not be having good times ahead.

Karthiksn is back but busy!

Posted by karthiksn

Sorry guys for going out without a formal notice but I see there is no big probs here and everything went smooth. I am back but the problem is I am stuck with my lame special classes and also I am capped(crossed my download upload limit), so its hard to come online during the day. I am a bit shaken with last months broadband bill and would not want to get thrashed for another month. I am strongly feeling to shift to Airtel. I have lots of posts at hand but may not be able to post them in coming days but will try my best to post them as soon as possible. The week was fun though i was totaly bored as none of my cousins were there at my native place. So a formal announcement I am back to bore all you guys out there. And yeah sorry I had forgot to post that I was going away.

MAD Exam

Posted by karthiksn

Today unofficially my exams are over with just two more to go(computer and commerce). Now I have never been tensed by any of my exams in my whole life though sometimes I was too sure I am gonna fail in them but today I was a bit tense and it took a big toll on me.

It was my Accounts exam and I have never been tensed about it but for the heck of it I was a bit tense and it made me want to kill myself. I have to reach to my school by 1:30 pm for my exams and i reach at the correct time everyday. Today in my tensions I Left home and when I reached school I saw some 10th class kids running around after completing their last exam now the thing was I couldnt even see one of my class students. Even the Xtremez Gang members were nowhere to be seen. Something made me to look at my watch and then was it that I realised I was an hour early to the supposed time. I had reached the school at 12:30 pm with no work except look at the trees and at last found a friend who normally comes that early and we kept on talking about his ubuntu installation(no its not Qwerty). Hmm.. a little bit worry if takes this much toll I might even die if I get the real tension
