I did not go there of my own accord. My parents wanted me to get into IIT, especially my mom. I accepted because I liked the subjects but I definitely don't like the institute I'm currently in. <br />I am a talented singer and I've already won quite a few awards. I wish my parents would let me go into the singing field instead of making me read subjects which I'm not exactly passionate about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-45938396818822934802011-04-25T03:44:58.864-07:002011-04-25T03:44:58.864-07:00@gils - repeattu...(rajnistyle)

JEE is the premier without and doubt. They burden their wards with the heavy load of expectations and ask them to perform better but parents in this ode of premiership forget that everything has its own limits, beyond which it's not possible to do anything.Prateek Bagrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194295045033921434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-51213534035747137422011-04-21T10:37:16.543-07:002011-04-21T10:37:16.543-07:00very important topic...as i see many parents push...very important topic...as i see many parents pushing their kids into such coaching...SoulSpacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919528093576625477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-63634087699040560812011-04-20T09:40:26.415-07:002011-04-20T09:40:26.415-07:00your post reminds of the movie "three Idiots&...your post reminds of the movie "three Idiots"....<br /><br />and BTW i think your husband is very right by saying "She’ll decide and we’ll only guide"....<br />we as parent must only guide them and help them to decide for their career......Irfanuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931968343851910523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-79191520412137148712011-04-20T09:20:51.448-07:002011-04-20T09:20:51.448-07:00:( evlo peria post adichen :( athu load agama poid...:( evlo peria post adichen :( athu load agama poidichigilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259194565523548553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-27078784663821888262011-04-20T09:09:37.403-07:002011-04-20T09:09:37.403-07:00Hi,can I have your emai id?Hi,can I have your emai id?Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-24687946718317719022011-04-20T08:59:17.746-07:002011-04-20T08:59:17.746-07:00@ rama - so much care,warmth and info in your comm...@ rama - so much care,warmth and info in your comment. thank you :)<br /> <br />yes, those days competition was less and colleges were also few. <br /><br />Today if we have competition, we also have opportunities and like you said when my husband did his engineering in 1987 there were only twenty engineering colleges in Tn, now almost like a mushroom there are so many engineering colleges around the bend of the road.Ashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853943313848326731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-17476120646749726192011-04-20T08:47:01.178-07:002011-04-20T08:47:01.178-07:00Very true Asha. My husband is from IIT. Nobody for...Very true Asha. My husband is from IIT. Nobody forced him as in those days there was no competition. People just chose something that they were inclined. Only his Patti used to tell him that he must graduate from IIT and KAI NERAI SAMBHDIKINUM.It just happened he applied for it and got it, he says if he had applied for medicine too he would have got it and would have been a doctor instead of an engineer.<br />And our daughter was never interested in becoming anything she hated school and hated to study, although she did quite well in her school. She found that my friend's daughter was doing some applied arts course which is 5 year degree course, she decided she wanted to do it, and just joined it.She has done pretty well, for she is now a creative director in an advertising firm. and all the effort of studying and finding her job was all her on her own effort.<br />My son was the opposite, he wanted to always excel in everything, and he wanted to keep his options open, although his interest was always in Automobile engineering only. Yet he was applying to various things, and finally got into engineering in Suratkal, and even while he was completing it he wanted to train for MBA, and all other courses.<br />We never said anything to him, for he had made up his mind to keep options open, the new mantra of his generation. I kept on telling him to focus on just one thing, but he would always have something to support his view point. So I also had to leave him alone.<br />However we all knew he wanted to get into the best University that is Ann Arbor which is the best for automobile engineering. <br />And he finally got into that , and got Scholarship loans also from 2 companies, and he was very happy.<br />Both my children were never pressurised by us, they chose their own path.<br />But I have seen moms being so particular about doing all their childrens' project/ very eager to help them, discussing their future outside the gates of school.<br />My son also joined the coaching classes for IIT, but he could not get through, at<br />least he had the sense of not becoming obsessed by trying for it again like some of his friends were doing.<br />Sometimes i feel children are themselves responsible for their destiny, and they should not allow themselves to be brain washed into doing something that they are not interested.<br />We have to understand that there is scope in all the fields, and one should never be restricted to doing the same old things.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-41436172986504498912011-04-20T08:36:25.628-07:002011-04-20T08:36:25.628-07:00The schools are cashing the love of the parents, a...The schools are cashing the love of the parents, and not that these parents don't love the children , they infact love too much that it crushes the children.<br /><br />These schools instead of facilitating the intelligence, train their minds so well that they don't see anything beyong IIT.Ashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853943313848326731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-51269402354376968262011-04-20T06:33:12.089-07:002011-04-20T06:33:12.089-07:00Thank god my parents did not do that to me , I was...Thank god my parents did not do that to me , I was allowed to do what i wanted to do .. <br /><br />I hope the way education is given is changed it will domuch grreat to the kids then all the mugging ... <br /><br />good post though all the best to all the kids who go through all this chaos to attain what there PAreNTS want them to be ... <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Bikram's</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.com
