Think Different!

Recently I was browsing through the website of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It’s necessary to specify the full form now days because as far as my knowledge goes there are 7 MIT’S in India also!)
And really telling, I was astounded at whatever things they are doing. Robotics, Space, Biotechnology, Chemistry….they are creating wonders in every field. I know that they have the best brains and the best professors to do so. But they have yet another thing due to which they are doing wonders…… “ Execution of Thoughts” …and I am talking about the thoughts of students.
Here back in India, we people also keep our grey cells busy…but the agony is that we cant always put our thoughts to execution. We have some premier institutions like IIT’S where an individual does get a chance to execute what he things...but I think there are still some IITians who do not get their chance.
We are, infact, not encouraged to think differently. As such we are always overburdened by exams, some stupid CGPA’S and assignments….and whenever we get time to think, people don’t support it.
At least this has happened with me a number of times. We have a society named as “Society of Petroleum Engineers” which is the most successful industrial society. Many technological advances came from within this society. I have been trying since months to start a student section of my university for this society. But nobody has taken it seriously. Infact it’s a shame that none of our faculty are even a member of this society!
Recently my paper got selected for an international conference, but nobody from the faculty even asked about it! I sent my paper in IIM after they liked my abstract…and still nobody asked! And guys…it’s not only about me. I see my juniors winning and participating in different seminars, and still they are unrecognized!!
We have a R & D center. What for?? For practicing dance during fests!! Even if the university get some funding on a project, they never involve a student in it.
And still they want to be of International Standards!!! How can they even think of it???
Really telling, I am totally frustrated now. That’s why I decided to start blogging..so that atleast I can put forward my idea’s..
Common guys….MIT’S are not created just like that….we need that scientific temperament…and I want to see in every student…I even see students who just cram things..because you only get recognized if you an excellent CGPA. …we need to get out of it…we have to think different..if we really want to see a true MIT here..
