Someting I had forgotten ... It took 3 idiots to remind me of it

I was genuinely interested in certain funda's that one actually joins engineering for.. Innovating something on my own which would solve the purpose of mankind in someway or the other ..

Rancho is a pretty much a fairy tale character(suited for cinematic viewing), but the ideology that he followed of getting 'educated' and showing his brilliance in applying his knowledge practically and developing something very passionately is something what most engineers dream of when they enter engineering..

But alas, their dream is shattered due to the rubbish structure of Engineering curriculum(I can claim that about University of Mumbai atleast)..

Life ek race hain... agar tej nahi daudoge to koi tumhe kuchal ke aage nikal jayega ... This dialogue has been made fun of in the movie.. but sadly this dialogue is what you need to follow if you are to get good marks in engineering exams...

A study curriculum where rote learning is a mantra to success... where you are not judged by your ideas and your application power but by how strong your mugging power is.. "agar tum reference book se slowly padhne jaoge aur tumhare funde clear karne ki der mein lage rahoge to sab log tumhse aage nikal jaenge .. to behtar hoga ke tum chupp chaap easy solutions lo aur ratta mar lo" ... that is the sad scene about engineering education ... you have to change ur ideology to meet the requirements of the rat race .. No minimum percentage in exams ... No job.. boss karna padta hain...

This is the point where most engineers stop innovating ... This is the reason why we are pathetic at research as compared to western as well as our asian counterparts.. This the reason why we are laid back in terms of technological innovation .. I do no mean to debilitate the magnificent achievements of few Indian scientists but what I mean to say is that we are under-achievers in this regard with 10000 engineers graduating every year..

3 idiots amazing movie ... For me apart from the message tried to be portrayed in the movie it reminded me that I had stopped innovating .. Thank you 3 idiots for reminding that to me... Hope I reinvent myself in some way!!!
