Being Honest isnt Always Helpful
Feeling really bad for what's happening around. It's for the first time, I sense injustice.
I never copy assignments like many do.
I prepare notes on my own and I write them all by myself.
Just like any other college, the number of xerox machines out do the originals.
And you know what I get for all this work?
.... I get a 7 on 15.
And the people who copy get a 11 or 12 on 15.
Am I jealous of them? If the word is jealous, then be it. Name it anything, but at the end of everything it's me who is affected, right? I'm not praising myself for 'self-writing' neither am I criticizing my friends for copying. I'm just agitated at the kind of result I got for all the work. Never in my life have I come across a situation like this. Just wondering what made me get a 7 and other a 12 on the same paper? See it's these things that make me go crazy.

It's tough watching your dreams crushed down, but well, these four years at IITB have been nothing but that.
ReplyDeleteI feel a constant hate against this place that has the capability to suck all hope out of someone, but I've learnt to fight it, and now I know, "justice" is a very collective notion. The people who "deserve" have always been ridiculed, used, fought against. And it is always the second-handers who get the limelight.
Hence do not work for being appreciated, but work because You want to.
P.S. Was just randomly hopping and couldn't help writing on this, for I could relate to what is written here strongly.
