Rita Hayworth and the Short Term Redemption


Editor’s note – In a fun way, the author takes you into the journey of exploration into the reasons for why those in power, despite their knowledge of the mishap that their management has produced, don’t make an effort to change things.

Author’s note – It’s about time the people running things took a look around them and admitted that not everything is perfect in the country today. Only after people admit the flaws in the education system will they be able to rectify it.

Engineering education and its relevance in the Industry


Editor’s note – This short article comes from a soon-to-be graduate who is dissatisfied with the way engineering is taught in his institution. The views are that of the author alone.

Author's note – In this article, I have written about why we need a change in the way engineering subjects are taught and the importance of a technically sound and better equipped engineer.

India Engineered


Editor’s note – This article comes from a Delhiite. The author talks about the narrow trends in careers and how the choice of a career is forced on the children. Then comes the argument about the essentially misleading nature of the competition that one has to endure in order to get into the top institutes. The author feels that real science is murdered in India. Also the topic of lack of productive output in our institutes is touched upon.

Author’s Note – I reside in Delhi, and I am aspiring to become an IT professional. Throughout my life I have had a pretty good academic record, but still I am dissatisfied with the quality of education I have received here in India. And this article is my statement on the trends of our country and the need to shift our focus from meaningless competition to real and productive output.


How much exam oriented, do you think, High School(Class IX & X) and Higher Secondary School(Class XI and XII) education in CISCE-affiliated(ICSE/ISC) schools is?
