From school,college to university : The build up of classism.

-
As illogical as it may sound, education where it should be a force to eradicate class difference does more to solidify it.

 You attend school, as young naive kids, and that point you're least judgemental. Thus clearing the notion of attitudes being groomed and bred, and not natural in its raw form. Then onwards, we are at the edge of clearing school and entering college, at which point you're still evaluating people on the basis of general attributes, scaling in on the judicial scales lightly, the good,bad and the grey. Its when you enter a more materialistic life; when your outfits matters, when social judgement stands more important than ethical judgement. It's then we build in these deceitful and downright erroneous theories of class having an impact on our perceived 'esteemed way of life'.

It is here I end up questioning a lot of standards we swiftly abide to, without so much so giving it a second thought.

    an interesting topic, about time somebody reflected on that, its not easy to come up with compelling topics regularly and good to see this versatility germinating in you...
    loved how you set the tone initially in a very prompt way however, you easily could have done better :/
    few grammatical errors and depth was lacking....
    an exceptional effort and extremely written if we look at it in terms of a briefing or precis

    Thank you.

    I felt there was a lot more that it could have led to, I just wanted to leave it as a question, not drag it into something I am only just exploring.

    JazakALlah for checking it out, I will see to the grammatical errors. :)

Somewhere around 8th or 9th standard, we were issued to buy a book with a collection of poems for our English class. Unlike many other school books that pass us  by every year like trash (sadly) does , this book is one of the few that remained attached to me. And to-date is very much a part of both, my shelf and my self. Today, as I am reminded of how little I am , and how grand life is; I'd like to share a poem from that book. I do not know whether it is the poem itself that attracted me, or the fact that like everyone, I found a connection in it that I so needed at that point of my life. Which ever the case may be, this is it : Try Again 'Tis a lesson you should heed, try again; if at first you don't succeed,  try again; then your courage should appear, for if you will persevere, you will conquer, never fear try again; Once or twice, though you should fail, try again; if you would at last prevail, try again; if we strive, 'tis no disgrace t

         Apart from the very first two stories I posted on my blog, stuff here has been pretty thought provoking and serious. If you plan to read the lighter side go here :  The 50 mosquitoes  and  My little pranksters journal  (These might be a little hard to read since back then I was a very rough writer, I think I still am but ... oh well)       It's not like I don't want to write joyous and giddy stuff, on the contrary,I love humour and it hurts me that I struggle so badly writing it out. I play the joker everyday, so to live it, Seriously I get fits of randomness..... I got proof man, see picture to the right. Erm.....  Okaaay  ...perhaps... uh... yeah possibly.... I am no  Chaplin, Jim or Ellen. I don't claim to be them either... Oh look, a random alien hovering. Perhaps A little Chaplin, A greener and mushier version of Chaplin ? Meh, Least I go green.                   Still a mere look won't turn me into that great person, so what wo

Wish: Animated treasure.

No, this isn't a clever thought-on title for a grand philosophy running in my head rather just a twinkle of a wish amongst the plenty I come up with occasionally. I know it's a tad cheesy but I like cheesy...so that's that. Since there lays no order to the wish process, I'll be random with these. Today I'll be introducing you to my first random wish.. or my first random open wish.Nevertheless... drums roll please ..anyone.... no? Fine,I'll do it myself  *da dum ba tiss dum badadadadadadadum*                                                 :   Animated treasure : If you want to take your guess on what this might stand for, go ahead. Do it and then proceed reading. After you read it, you'll realize the content isn't as intricate as I am making it to be. *sasti fancygiri*.Any ways, without further dramatics, the title "Animated treasure" pretty much stands for it self. It has two meanings, one literal and the other derivative.     > L
