prelude...

One day, when I was bored to my bones, a thought clicked in my brain and said that education has ruined my life more than it has made it. I still remember that Alexander the Great invaded India somewhere around 326 BC and died somewhere around 323 BC, ‘x’ is the capital of ‘y’ country, ‘d’ is the head of ‘w’ state, ‘d1’ is the date when ‘t’ was born and ‘e’ died on date ‘d2’. Apparently my brain, overloaded with unnecessary information, is now struggling to find some space in its intricate anatomy where it can process the information it has and make sound judgements. I mean, what do I care if Aurangzeb levied taxes on Hindus on 17th of February 1655, or Mahatma Gandhi died on 30th January 1948? Sadly, the educational system I grew upon was mal-designed to judge a person’s memory and ability of retrieve the information from his/her brain instead of sharpening his/her intellect and strengthening the ability to infer from what s/he knows.

So, I thought I will re-educate myself all over again. I decided that it is imperative for me to know something of everything and everything of one thing. But it is difficult to unlearn certain things, and those things prevent me from learning the right way. Because most of the time I have suffered from not knowing what I really wanted, I dared to choose Economics and Computer Science to be the ‘one thing’ and ‘everything’ remains everything like political science, sociology, driving, swimming, psychology, combat, management, finance etc… Strangely, everything interests me now, when there are no exams which judge me against some stupid definitions and dates.

Till now, I have been putting all the noise of my brain here. That's moslty unstructured and random, as the life is happening to me. That randomness will continue along, and now I am attempting to structure my way through life as I learn and evolve.
