         Education is a continuous process from birth to death of an individual.The aim of education is knowledge,not of facts but of values.It is not possible to carry out a good deal of things for the society without having the knowledge of goodness.And this had been the aim of education in the past.Gradually the vitality of this aim was widened.As Science and Technology advanced,the realm of arts and science also broadened and the haste for aquisition of knowledge gained a notable change.

         What makes a man tackle with the problems of social life?It is his knowledge about the society he lives.The ultimate goal of all educational programmes is to fix up one with the awareness of his life and the world.Its nothing but the development of man's brain that makes him undeviating from his principles.However the true aim of education is to lead him to realize the path towards the ultimate truth.

         There is no doubt that education primarily contemplate the well being of one's personal and social life.As  a member of the society each of us have the responsibility to carry out some duties also.All these duties or obligations as what we call,are to be fulfilled through certain particular vocations.In this sense the aim of education can also be said to make one suitable foe a job.It is in this sense professional education is very much relevant.

       Privatisation of higher education is rapidly progressing in India and it is justified pointing to the large requirements of professionals in future.In this regard concern voiced by Prof.Anandakrishnan ,Chairman of IIT Kanpur which was reported some 5 years back draws our attention."In one year the number of Engineering Colleges has gone up to 2250 from 1600.There is a mad rush for starting engineering colleges.This is a scandal in technical education and nothing has been done to prevent this."[Times of India,20 Oct 2008].The preference of private promoters for job oriented disciplines is understandable as it is a high profitable business now a days.Students are expected to complete their higher education with the help of loans or other means as their prospects of employment following the courses are high.

      But education is not just about enrolment from numbers.What is the quality of education provided by self financing institutions?While there are excellent private institutions that have been established over years like BITS,Pilani and Thapur University,Patiala,the concern here is about the large number of institutions that have been mushroomed in the last decade or so.The criterion for selection of students to many private self financing institutions is that there is enough cash in the hands of prospective students to pay for the high fees demanded by private institution besides huge amount of donation.

       Another trend in our country reveals that many of our students seeks foreign universities in countries like Australia for pursuing their career in professional jobs.The poor people, as we call in both sense,in their zealous engagement in giving their child quality education is unaware  of the expenditure,nature of jobs,the quality of education and the social environment of such countries.Rarely do they recognize that they were betrayed by money thurstful agents.The only solution to this problem is to provide education on quality basis and not on quantity.Co-operative sector can also do a good many things in this field to render education on quality basis without having the lust for making money which will be a solution to the quantitative problem also.

     For the sake of the aforesaid aims of education and the society, we have to cross examine the mindset of the student community who spend huge amount for their higher studies.Majority possess a view that they spend money for doing the professional course.So they have to get it back in multiple in a short period in any way disregard of the morals or ethics.As far as they are concerned the society is not in the picture.Their concern is about a small circle consisting of their family.The emergence of nuclear family system donate much to evolve such a view in the minds of the youth.Moreover the modernisation of villages into towns and the globalised new life styles paved the way for the deterioration of their humanitarian outlook.

     The character of an individual is assessed and evaluated by the society.Our obligation to the society in fixing up a disciplinary life is provided by education.Besides acquisition of knowledge,training of jobs and character formation it should have the aim to raise the cultural aspects for building up the grand work for a complete life and inculcating moral values in the citizen.Education centred only in any one of these aspects is incomplete.It reaches its acme only when all these qualities are attained.So the ethics of education is to serve the society being a member who availed so many inexplicable concessions at the expense of the society and the love and affection they got which cannot be measured in any way.

      Democracy has never been given a respectable place as what it deserves.In the same manner we have not realized the importance of the study of political science in its true sense in our educational system.What  should be done through political education is to inculcate humanitarian outlook,democratic values and to bring up a group of disciplinarian and obedient students which may inturn make responsible,co-operative and broad minded citizens for our nation.................

          

 



       

WHO AM I?????

Ok frndzzz,

    Nw i believe u all hve gone thru my previous posts & nw hve a faint idea of my nature.Do u nw wanna hve a look @ my life???Nd i thnk u'll nd if not u hve 2 knw abt me if u r a frequent visitor of my blog.....

       I Poornima Lakshmi,was born in Mavelikara(my Amma's place) a small town in Alleppey district on 5th June 1991(Seems as though i'm writing my autobiography.....).....I'm d eldest of my parent's 2 daughters.Although i'm two nd a half years older dan my younger sister,her behaviour is alwys like she is my super sister and i shud obey her(Itz really funny 2 thnk abt her,being someone who takes care of me like she is my elder sister......).Nd if u ask me who is better i'll say an extra point shud be given to my sis..bcoz she is such a beautiful sis without any kind of obstinacy......Caring wise,study wise,knowledge wise......nd if u consider any aspect 4 assessing an individual u'll find dat my sis shud b given an extra point.

      Poor girl, d only time i had to weep on her is wen she decided to pursue her higher studiezzz in Physical sciences(She is doing her degree in Physics in SD Colg,Alappuzha).Dont thnk dat i'm such a fool who is against someone taking Physical or natural sciences or any other subjects of their interest dat is diffrnt frm engineering or medical stream,nd my parents too r not.....it was bcoz she was made fun before others by some of our relatives nd natives for taking such a decision of nt opting those streams  of high demand.And dis is wht i've 2 tell dem,,,,,,she isn't a fool to take such a decision,scoring 97 nd 93% in her SSLC and +2 xams.... but u shud appreciate her and studnts like her who loves physical sciences vich is considered 2 be d root of all dese professional courses for taking such decisions.....If she was such a fool,i dnt thnk she could clear d preliminary xams 4 All India Medical entrance...bcoz she did cleared d exam..nd even den she is here in SD Colg doing her graduation...I thnk , dat courage needs 2 be appreciated....If der is a big dream 4 me t is nothing other dan seeing my achoos in flying colours....

        Itz time i shud introduce my amma & achan 2 u frndzz...My achan,is a retired Section Officer frm Kerala Public Service Commission(PSC).He is a hard working personality nd i've never seen him sitting somewhere without doing anythng....He too has a definition for 'rest'....hahaaaaa.....He alwys tells me dat rest is nt jzt sitting somewhere after doing a job..it is actually  a transition frm one job 2 anthr so dat u wont b tired of sticking on 2 d same job....(Great philosophy.....But i'm jzt opposite to him........whenever i feel bored of somethng i'll jzt go & sleep...... :-P)....

      With dat attitude he decided 2 go 4 a new job after his retirement nd is nw working as a proof reader in d Malayalam daily,Mathrubhumi...........Nw my mom...wht shud i say...I can't express who she is by d mere usage of several words arranged in some way......Maatha,Pitha,Guru,Daivam.....dis is an absolute truth......The one who is above all 4 every individual will b ur mom......A teacher by profession(A langauge teacher.....)she is respected by many.....(The only profession  wer u get dis much respect is d teachng profession,i wud say...bcoz d kind of respect or relationship wid other people varies depending on who u r @ d moment,but u'll alwys b dat old school kid no matter who d hell u r....... :-D)

     Unlike other teachers ,she is a teacher educator who trains teacher trainees on hw to educate children...bcoz of a profession of dat kind she often has 2 travel thruout Kerala...(Had our father been never der,we wud hve suffered in such situations.....Whenever she feels sad dat she isn't here to take care of us in such situations itz our dad dat reminds her dat no need of worrying abt us..nd itz her duty 2 take care of her students....).Itz only bcoz of my dad,dat she can go wherever she is destined 2 go.He is such a great personality nd has never stood against my ammas wishes....nd my amma too has never stood against my appa's wishes,making dem a perfect couple  and our great parents supporting me & my sister whenever & whereever required nd dat too only wen dey thnk it is necessary 4 us......  ;-)....

       May b bcoz our parents are employed,we somehw managed nt 2 b too much dependent on others......This is wht i've 2 say abt me nd my small family.......... Vayichu kazhinjenkil poyi vellam kudicholoo....kaaranam ithu ezhuthaan njan kure vellam kudichu....appol pinne ningalde kaaryam parayendalloo....... :-D ...... :-D 

WAS IT ACTUALLY A JOURNEY 2 A PRJCT CLASS???????

Gud mrng mi dr frndzz,

     This is my 4th post nd lemme share our experiences in our journey 2 our prjct class(GIT,Edappally).Although dese prjct classes wer meant 2 guide us 4 accomplishng our final year prjcts,d journey 2 & frm dese classes did a great part in strengthening my frndshp bond.

           The 11 girls frm CEMP's CS BATCH 2009-2013 did their prjct der nd i shud say it was really a successful one in both sense as wht i told earlier.Our journey till Ekm south was by train and frm der a half an hr journey by bus(dese timings can vary b/w 1/2 hour & 1 hour.....u knw d traffic matters...... :-D)

         Once in january 2013,on reaching der we wer told dat der wont be any prjct classes 4 dat day.Dey wer actually at frst somewhat reluctant to inform dat we dont hve classes 4 dat day thnkng dat we'll b sad(bcoz ....u knw...v r der in Edappally some 67 kms away frm our town......4 d sake of doing our prjcts......)But poor people....... :-P ,dey had never knwn dat ,that news was an abt 2 hear gud news 4 us nd dat we wer all  waiting 4 a day like dis.....All decisions wer made all on a sudden nd we 7 of us made our trip to Fort Kochi(4 of us wer nt der as no classes were arranged @ dat day 4 their batch...).After spending an immemorable day out der we hired a boat 2 Marine Drive so dat we wont miss our train to reach home in time.

        Urvi,Aathira and Neethu was also here as alwys.But i became more closer 2 Neethu RG(another Neethu,nt d above mentioned one,d former is alwys called idivandi nd we often forget dat her original name is Neethu.i thnk i'll b no more if by chance idivandi sees my post.....So if i'm nt dead i'll b der next day vit a new post...... :-D ...... :-D)

      Besides Neethu RG,der wer Salma(Our thala ...... :-D ....... :-D ),Saleena(Parimalam..),Geethika(i shud better nt reveal her pet name here....bcoz u knw i hve 2 live my life....... :P ....),Binisha & Remya(Our Let Twins,dese people wer 3 years older dan us nd we alwys considered dem as our elder sisters more dan our frnds....(No need of misunderstanding seeing their age,dey joined our class during our 2nd year@ colg after completing their diploma in technical education)) nd ofcourse Reshma (Our luttappi..... :-D )

      Of dese 7 people,eventhough i had knwn Salma since our entrance coaching days (Entrance coaching 4 entry 2 BTech Courses,vich was in Thengana,Changanassey),it was only during dese dayzz..dat i actually understood who she actually is nd wht a lovely frnd she is..(I shud say,i've never seen a teenager or a youngster dis much attached 2 her family nd eloquent abt her family.....Keep dat love & attchmnt to ur family as alwys Salma.... :-D).......

     Der r a lotta incidents & memories like dis nd i thnk dey all hve captured my mind dat i'm nt getting enough words to tell u hw dese people influenced me in my so called "CHANGEEE....".....Will b back wit another bunch of memories........Till den u'll hve 2 wait my dearzzz...... :-D .....

A WALK DAT ENDS UP @ a FUD STALL....

Hi all,

i'm back again wit ma 3rd post........Again i'm telling u people to go thru my previous posts if u hve not gone thru it before readng dis one....dis time i wanna take u thru my way to & frm my colg(College of Engineering & Management,Punnapra).....As u can see in my previous posts dis one too is a comparison of "old me" and "new me" (vich i'll refer 2 as "om" & "nm" in my upcoming posts....)

The 'om' is kindaa girl hu walks 2 & frm her colg like a one woman army parade;neither looks @ d left nor @ d rght while walking....except wen crossng d roads.. :-D.(nw u wud hve understood why i referred 2 my walking vit an army parade....)really funny 2 thnk rght???...But see it was nt dat funny 4 other people whu eagerly looks @ me like a loony poorni... :-D...bcoz i was too serious @ dat dayzz.....hahaaa...[4 wht reason.....i dunno...:-P ... :-D]

               But nw i bet u wont be able anymore 2 see a one woman army parade frm me....bcoz der r lotz of people,my dear frndzz...(especially Urvi(Vamshi..), Aathi(Pothuval...),Neethu Augustin(idi vandi.....hahaaa),Binisha.... :-D) who r alwys der ready 4 a walk wit me even if it is on my way back 2 home or  if it is for a leisure time walk.....

I need 2 mention some othr people here,The Thakazhy,Kakkazham & Changanassery gang of frnds who hve equally assisted me during such walks..[To mention my lettu,sree,Akhil,Archana,Deepti & Chinchu ..... ;-)... :-D]... dese walks during our last mnths @ our colg most times ends up @ some bakeries...[i dunno if i shud call it a bakery ....bcoz dese r juzt bakery like shops which u may find in a village like ours....]

Comng to our taste for food,unlike most engg colg studnts who prefers dat kindaa fast foods wit names whch i still hve no idea wht it shud be called, we CEMPians prefer d 'naadan' food stuffs like pazham pori,uzhunnu vada etc etc etc....... :-D .... :-D ......May be d place wer our colg was built up wud hve directed us to sought 4 dat kindaa fuds which wud hve otherwise placed us in d former category......

Despite seeking restaurants & fud malls (preferred by dese engg stdnts frm metropolitan areas)we alwys went to local hotels mostly seen along wit d owner's house(dnt thnk dat i'm degrading it by calling local,i juzt wanted to say dat v alwys sought 4 not so great hotels dat can b labelled as restaurants..... )

Dis is d fud style of CEMPians......especially our CS BATCH 2009-2013.... vil b back wit a new topic....dis time signing out.....

THE VALUE OF FRNDSHP

Hi frndzzz.......
    Hope u went thru my previous post...."THE CHANGEEE".......if not ....i wud juzt say " go thru it nd come back"...... .....   As i hve already told, der r a lot that made me change dis way......But if i'm asked 2 specifically choose someone......i wud say it is none other than my frnd...Urvi.... : D .
      U might thnk she is my only soulmate  (i wont take dat risk frm Aathira  ,our Aathi... :-D .... The real soulmate of Urvi.......:-D ).....but it wasn't like that...... When i got into my Btech class 4 d frst time ....i sat beside a calm and quite girl Sameena....To say abt her,.....wht shud i say.....der r only a few of her kind in dis world ....bcoz u knw itz really a wonderful feeling to be loved by everyone.... and nt in anyone's list of unfavourable persons....  Sameena is in dat sense a blessed girl........ itz her innocence that attracted me to her ....... After 1 week or so......another girl gained my attention....  Divya......She was just opposite to Sameena......in d sense..... a chatterbox....... d only problm i cud find with her is dat she was so innocent( i shud say  Sameena is not much innocent when compared to divya... :-D) that despite being a brilliant student....she cud b easily fooled by other people....... which can sometimes be a curse......wen things started to take an unexpected turn......  My world was with dese 2 people....... d only cunning fellow in dat gang was me.......diverting dem frm some kinda people....bcoz u knw ...... tht was essential @ dat stage bcoz of d fact dat dey r too innocent to live in dis hectic world of 2 faced people........

       Wen i was wid dem....my interactions wid other people were limited......  (It was even told dat....i'm a misandrist..... lol....... :-D)..I was labeled in dat way bcoz my communcn with boyz wer limited.... (But nobody wud hve ever noted dat my commncn with even girls wer limited.....)...... those dayz wer like a hell 4 me...... i dont want 2 thnk abt dat....... but later when i was in my 5th sem thngs started to chnge....... It was den i became close wid my classmate Urvi....... (Being d daughter f a politician she has some kinda eye 2 read thru d minds f people.....nd to react nd assist dem whenever nd wherever required....).My dayz wid her made me realize dat ...... a change is crucial 4 me....... bcoz within 2 years i'm gng 2 be a professional..... My character nd my perspective needs some chnge...... I started interacting wit difrnt kinda students..... inlcusive f boyz nd girls... I alwys decided 2 start some conversation wid whoever it is wid me..... even if der is nothing much to talk abt..bcoz wht i needed was d cremation of my introvert nature.... :-D....

    I eventually became dat kindaaaa person who never stops speaking once i started 2 speak..... an exact opposite version f me in frst year who alwys spoke by thnking wht i shud speak nd wht i shudn't...... Do u thnk itz a great change....... :-(  But i do thnk it is.......  :-D ......

     Atleast some one wud hve noted dat......eventhough i started my blog some 2 years back.......it was only nw dat i really got here.......bcoz  It was nt me dat created d blog ....but d older version of poornima....... who wrote some gud posts @ dat time and after crafting the post deleted it thnking dat who will read d post of a not so interactive girl wer der r lots of people..... whose posts wer frequently read...nd commnts wer given by der frnds.......... And wid that i juzt took me away frm all dese social networking sites nd blogs.....But  u knw nw i'm confident dat atleast 1 will go thru my post...nd will give commts to my job.... :-D ........ Bcoz dis iz d new version of poornima...... A confident girl who is no more an introvert...nd wont spare d chance 4 interacting wid diffrnt kindaa people ..........

     This is wer frndship can sometimes be a boon (like dat of mine....) wer @ other times it can lead 2 a bad situation frm who u r........  So everyone shud possess dat quality 2 decide where i shud go nd wer i shudn't ...... nd if der iz a strong desire nd effort frm ur part 2 choose d rght way....... d result is really awesome...... This is d "VALUE OF FRNDSHIPPP......"

THE CHANGEEE........

Hi,

This is d frst time i'm composng a post to share vit u ma dear frndzz.... Itz all over...Our dayz @ CEMP making fun f each other ...... fighting,laughing,sharing our happiness n sorrowzz.... itz time to welcome a changeover.....  some are going to get their knots tied.... some othrz to new jobz........ and even some people like me opting 4 highr stdzz...(The thirst 4 knowledge.... ;-) :D )...

            As u all knw......... A changeover can sometimes be an imprecation  ... nd @ other timez... it can be an enduement......  u might be thinkng wht am i upto....  I had to mention dis here being a student that belongs to the latter category...... (Thnks 2 ma Urvi.... 4 that)......

     During my frst 2 yearz @ my colg i was an introvert....... trying to get away frm some kind f people....  bcoz i waz afraid ...... My thoughts were like i'm here to be an engineering graduate.....nd i shoudn't invlove in any other businesses..... (The misconcept f a poor girl who spend 14 years f her childhood...... and school life in a convent school......i believe .....nw u would have understood why my thought was so.... :-D ).... I'm never blaming myself or my school authorities 4 that.... (I should say its frm here tht i started learning ....and that too not juzt mugging up all those nasty little thngzz from the syllabuzz..... but something which most children wont get or wont listen to..... moral qualities... )...
   
       But later @ some point f time a drastic change in my character came over....(I should say drastic.... bcoz those people....... who knew who i was during those dayzz..... nd knwz who i'm nw wont see any kind f exaggerations in that wording...... ).......  A change frm a silent one to an active one...... itz more like a chatterbox than an active one...... Now a dayzzzz my frndzz get mad on listening 2 me.... (bcoz u knw what it would be like to talk abt trivial matterzz...... without any reason and not showing a bit f interest in winding up whatever it is i'm talking abt.......nd the interesting part is that...... Not even i won't  be knowing what i'm talking abt......hahaaaaa...... ).....
     Anyway the change....which moulded me to who i'm is the thing which i love d most in this world...... the change which gave me a lotta frndsss........  nd....The one thing that wont change in this world is this.."THE CHANGEEEEEE"........
