It's Time For a Change - The Indian Education System by Abhi Raheja

INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM IS FLAWED!



It's the examinations time in the Country. So I thought I might just share my feelings about the INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM with you guys. So, Being a Student, I believe Indian Education System is outdated, infact very very outdated. And it is apt for us to revolutionize it to produce quality Students for a better Indian Future! That's What this Post at Blog@AbhiRaheja is all about.

 

 

It's a Time For Change.




If you're an Indian Student, and frustrated by the quality of education being provided to you, then please spare 5 minutes to read the Blog. It's just a simple summary of in which areas does our Educations System lags behind and which areas do we need to work upon.

Indian Educations need a long pending change. India's education system has been very static and outdated. It hasn't been updated much since long.

Here are a few things which is making Indian education retarded :
1-  Rote Learning: People perceive rote learning as being educated which is clearly not true. The emphasis has never been on understanding, gaining the "real knowledge". If someone can mug it up and vomit it out in the examinations he is considered intelligent else of "no-use". Education's should be aimed at imparting knowledge.
2-  Marks : All the studies done are just for the sake of the marks, Is getting marks the only motto of studies ? It's so baseless to judge a student by his/her marks. Marks will never be able to test our innovation, knowledge. Marks are just a reflection of how much we can memorize.We are never required to do innovative & creative things ! Priority should be given to field work, project work based on original ideas (not copy pasted from google). That's how Indians will become inventors, not just the users.

The Current Scenario


3-  Too Theoretic : Subject like Science was not invented on papers, but in India it's all about theory ! In school we have 8-10 theory periods compared to only 2 practical periods per week  ! Is this what science is ? Certainly not !
Yes, theory is important but only and only when accompanied by practicals.
4-  The great Indian Coaching Culture : Coaching centers have bloomed in India in past few years as a major source of business ! Particularly because 75% of students want to become engineer/doctor by will or by force. Coaching centers make big sum of money, make a student's life hell ! I feel entrance should be based on project work (original) done by student, his level of thinking, knowledge. Also, BAN coaching institutes !

5-  The orthodox mentality : Parents/teachers feel that engineering is the end of the world. That is why even with the population of billions India lags far behind in many fields such as sports (leaving cricket of course).At school level students should be encouraged to take part in Extra Curricular activities and sports.If everyone works according to their talent, they are bound to excel in it ! 
This Is happening Soon!







5-  Reservations : Off late we have observed that almost all communities in India, be it Small or big need reservation. Shouldn't admissions be based entirely on merit and not by virtue of birth ? There are so many communities in India (be it small or big),if reservation is given to each of them then no seats will be left for general category !. Ban reservations

6-  Outdated : India is still stuck with chalk and talk theory. Time has changed now, and it's high time to integrate technology with studies and make it more interesting. Technology can have a very good influence on the Indian education.

7-  Biased Teaching : Teacher's in India are highly biased. Chaploos students are ALWAYS given priority ,be it marks, giving opportunities in competitions or for that matter anything ! Teachers tend to demoralize those are are not able to score marks just because he/she cannot memorize !! 


It's high time to remove these drawbacks ! India is the country with maximum youth population and maximum human resource. If situation is not changed at the earliest then we might end up having a disastrous future. Right now is the time when changes in the Indian education system should be introduced to get the maximum output in the future, to become inventors not only the users !

Thank you.

The Top 10 Creepiest Love Songs - According to Me.

Since Music Being the Certain area I am into in these days of my life, well ofcourse after Studies (My dad will be so proud after reading this. lol ). I have been listening a lot of Bad and good Music. Everybody knows the best but nobody knows the worst. So, to 'AWARD THE WORST' of all time, I Present here The 10 MOST CREEPIEST LOVE SONGS I think ever released till date.

The Fine Line Between Love Song and Stalker Anthem

Some of the most popular love songs, if spoken to a lover, would be creepy or downright declarations of stalking. Professing your undying love and devotion shouldn't make your beloved consider a restraining order. Singing a beautiful love song, on the other hand, requires you to exaggerate.

Take this post by me as a reminder to consider the meaning behind a song before you dedicate it to the one you love. The lyrics might frighten him or her away rather than drawing the two of you closer together, especially if you're pining for your ex-love.
:P

On this Post, I'm going to nominate what I think are the Top 10 Creepy Love Songs, from the tenth-creepiest to the most-stalker-appropriate. I'll include the lyrics for each, as well as videos and places to get them, where I can find sources. If you've got a creepier song, let me know. I'll be happy to expand my list! In the meantime, watch out for The Police, Bryan Adams, and Blondie.


The List: The Top 10 Creepiest Love Songs

 I know people love these songs, and think that they are just beautiful poems of love set to music. I see them differently. For instance, I wouldn't want anyone doing "everything" for me, including breathing and, presumably, using the restroom and perhaps torturing small animals.

These songs have the potential to be sinister and stalker-worthy rather than love songs. The links below will take you to the lyrics for that song. None of this should imply that I don't really enjoy some of these songs, I just don't want to get to know the authors.

 

1-  Nights on Broadway- The Bee Gees

2-  I will possess your heart - Death Cab for Cutie

3-  I will Follow Him- Little Peggy March

4-  Hello- Lionel Richie

5-  You Belong to me- Carly Simon

6-  One way or another-  One Direction

7-  Every Breathe you take-  Police

8-  Obsession-  Animotion 

9-  The old Apartment-  Barenaked Ladies

10- Everything i do(I do it for you)- Bryan Adams


My Nominee for the Creepiest Love Song Ever

Everything Bryan Adams Does, He Does for Someone Else 

 

Reckless

To be fair, I'm not a Bryan Adams fan, nor did I enjoy the Kevin Costner movie that spawned its overplay. But the song implies that every single thing you do or say or think should revolve around another person. If someone were that obsessed with me, it would be frightening. Besides, he looks creepy on the album cover. ;)


Lyrics for Nights on Broadway

The Bee Gees Sing a Creepy Love Song

 
 Okay, my hair bears, you have to stop following your ex around and plotting ways to get rid of the people who "stand between" you. That's just creepy.

Here we are, In a room full of strangers
Standing in the dark
Where your eyes couldn't see me

Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away

CHORUS
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs
Singin' them "straight to the heart" songs
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town

Now in my place, There are so many others
Standin' in the line, How long will they stand between us

Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away

CHORUS

I will wait, even if it takes forever
I will wait, even if it takes a lifetime
Somehow I feel inside
You never-ever left my side
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime, ooh

CHORUS

Singin' them sweet sounds (oh yeah)
To that crazy, crazy town (yeah)
 
 

Lyrics for I Will Possess Your Heart

Death Cab for Cutie Live Up to Their Creepy Name

 
Just the title of this song makes me think of threats that start with "I will possess your heart" and end with the flourish of a knife and "one way or another". I have a vivid imagination that way. Then I listened to it. I'm still scared of them.

How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound
But in a language that you can't read just yet

CHORUS [twice]

You gotta spend some time love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

There are days when, outside your window,

I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective,
when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.

CHORUS x 2

I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

You reject my advances and desperate pleas

I won't let you let me down so easily, so easily

CHORUS x 3

I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
 
 

Lyrics for I Will Follow Him

Little Peggy March Was Creepy, Too

 
Even way back in the early 60s the stalkers were recording freaky love songs. Sure, it's catchy but would you want Peggy March following you around, swooning whenever she "happened" to bump into you? No thanks!

I love him, I love him, I love him.

And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.

I will follow him.

Follow him wherever he may go.
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away.

I must follow him.

Ever since he touched my hand I knew,
That near him I always must be.
And nothing can keep him from me.
He is my destiny.

CHORUS

I love him, I love him, I love him,
And where he goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love,
From now until forever, forever, forever.

I will follow him

Follow him wherever he may go.
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from my love.

CHORUS


I will follow him (follow him),

Follow him wherever he may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from my love.

I love him, I love him, I love him

And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
I know I'll always love him, I love him, I love him.
And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
[repeat to fade]
 

Lyrics for Hello

Lionel Richie Creeps Around in Love

 
At first listen, Lionel Richie just sounds like a victim of unrequited love. But if you read carefully you'll see that he's really stalking this stranger. You don't tell someone you've never met that you love them. That's just creepy!

I've been alone with you inside my mind

And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes

I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
My arms are open wide

'Cause you know just what to say

And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair

And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello? I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you


Lyrics for You Belong to Me

Carly Simon Gets in on the Stalker Act

 
Let him go, Carly Simon. People don't belong to one another and if he doesn't want to be with you you've got to accept that and move on with your life. I can pretty well guarantee your ex isn't going to be telling his new woman that you love him. Talk about a creepy love song!

Why'd you tell me this?

Were you looking for my reaction?
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be your girl?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own

You belong to me

Tell her you were fooling
You don't even know her
Tell her that I love you

You belong to me

Can it be, honey, that you're not sure
You belong to me
Thought we'd closed the book, locked the door
You don't have to prove to me that you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own
And I can tell, I can tell darling
Tell her. tell her that I love you

You belong, you belong, you belong to me

Tell her you were fooling
Tell her she don't even know you
Tell her you were fooling
I know you from a long time ago, baby
Don't leave me to go to her now
You belong to me.
 
 

Lyrics for One Way or Another

A Creepy Blondie Love Song

 
This one may be fun but it reads like a stalker handbook. Sure, some guys wouldn't mind Debbie Harry following them around but why does she want you to buy rat food?

One way or another I'm gonna find ya

I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha

I will drive past your house

And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around

REPEAT FIRST VERSE


And if the lights are all out

I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya

I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip

I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall

Where I can see it all, find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd

One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha

(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
[repeat until fade]
 
 

Lyrics for Every Breath You Take

Sting Helps The Police Stalk Someone

 
 Here's another creepy love song that makes following your ex around town and spying on him or her sound romantic. It's not. Move on, Sting, and take your band with you.

Every breath you take, every move you make

Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day, every word you say

Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you

O can't you see

You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take!

Every move you make, every vow you break

Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Every move you make, every vow you break

Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
 
 

Lyrics for Obsession

Animotion Gets Honest, but Still Creepy

 
 In truth, I really like this song. I used to dance to it a lot in my misspent youth. But that doesn't mean I can't recognize a stalker song when I hear one. This starts as a song about wanting to be with someone and seems to turn into a kidnapping. Yikes!

You are an obsession, I cannot sleep

I am a possession unopened at your feet
There is no balance, no equality
Be still I will not accept defeat

I will have you, yes I will have you

I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

CHORUS

You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me
[repeat]

I feed you, I drink you by day and by night

I need you, I need you by sun or candlelight
You protest, you want to leave
You say there's no alternative

Your face appears again, I see the beauty there

But I see danger, stranger beware
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems

CHORUS


My fantasy has turned to madness

All my goodness has turned to badness
My need to possess you has consumed my soul
My life is trembling, I have no control

I will have you, yes I will have you

I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

CHORUS [repeat to fade]
 

Lyrics for The Old Aparment

Barenaked Ladies Expose Their Obsession

 
Honestly, I don't even have to explain this one. Read the lyrics. It's creepy.

Broke into the old apartment

This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?

Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole
I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?

Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

Broke into the old apartment

Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

Why did they pave the lawn?

why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

How is the neighbour downstairs?

How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy here
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment

Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back
 

Lyrics for (Everything I Do) I Do It for You

Creepy Bryan Adams

 
To everyone who finds this to be a beautiful, romantic love song, I apologize. This one creeps me out a lot. Maybe it's the hoarse voice, maybe it's the repeated offers to die for me, maybe it's just the idea that he's saying that there's not one other thing in his whole life besides me. I find that creepy.

Look into my eyes, you will see

What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

CHORUS

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for you

Look into your heart you will find

There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am, take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice

CHORUS


There's no love like your love

And no other could give more love
There's nowhere unless you're there
All the time, all the way

Oh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it; there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you, I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah I'd die for you
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for you
