A lot of people have cribbed about the present education system...and yours truly has some constructive criticism (now that's just an onomatopoeic euphemism for cribbing, I know) to add as well.The education system has taught me a lot of things.
First of all,it has taught me the difference between a teacher and a lecturer.A teacher teaches(before you think that i am wasting your time fooling around with obvious nouns and verbs,let me clarify)."Teaching",for me,doesnt mean making me attend a lecture(which invariably is oh-so-boring-its-makes-me-wanna-kill-someone)quietly with a sword of attendance hanging over my head.A teacher is someone who makes me want to listen to him.Sadly, take any teacher in my college-he just makes me listen to him.This is where a person stops being a teacher,and becomes a lecturer...and sadly,again.....i now realize ppl in my college never were teachers,they were lecturers from all along.A lecturer lectures(if by now u think i am a self-repeating fucker,plz dont think so...because a fucker,...yes,....a fuckers fucks...and unfortunately, ive never had the fortune of even unbuttoning my shirt's top button in female company,so the chances of me being a 'happy bunny' are exasperatingly remote),and tracing the etymological roots of the word "lecture",its quite a detested word mainly coz its an unneeded dialogue delivered to an uninterested person by an uncompetent(i kno its wrong,i was just trying to complete the u-sequence : P) authority.
Secondly,it has taught me the virtues of plagiarizing...ppl like anu malik and pritam swear by it and now,so do most of the million-odd ppl who have passed through this farcical system.Ive always wondered about the origin of assignments....they almost magically appear out of somewhere from one of those dreaded front benches...where monsters with "superhuman thirst for knowledge"(remeber Ross,and his comic book Science-boy?ahh those magical sitcoms)as their power sit,and devour hundreds and hundreds of books....and crap out crappy assignments(getting too literal,is it?)...and in a lecture or two.....almost the entire class has a copy each.

i thought u lost da plot in between admidst ur unbuttoning...it was very nice though...
In my college, even some of the fucking assignments are incorrect...
The profs (many but not all), mull over the only thing during gradation, and that is completion of it anyhow before the last date...
@Smit: You are right abt losing the plot with that interruption. But that unbuttoning thing was sure entertaining.
It was a really good piece though initially, but could have ended better.
this post is actually incomplete...i wanted 2 add some more things,but didnt get time.
hahahaha..
soham's on the mark..
u didn't mention the harrising we are subjected to on the day of submission though..that would b a whole new category, eh?
