Abhik Bose

I am a mechanical engineering graduate from the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Bengal. I have provided Mathematics and Science tuition to a batch of 20 CBSE class X students during my college days, and all of them overcame their first hurdle of student`s life with good grades. All feel like students of the present generation in our country have a great mind, but they are bounded or narrowed with the pre-conceived thoughts that are passed to them not only by our families or relatives but also in this cyber era by internet and television. I have witnessed people accepting western culture as a fashion and forgetting our values and ethics. This all starts at that young age of 14-18 years when we do not understand the difference between right and wrong and mostly succumb to the negative side. By the time we reach 18+ we start accepting them as normal things and anything deviating from that zone makes us feel uncomfortable. We generally can`t take things that go beyond from that comfort mind. Now that`s the age when students need to be taught the difference between education and being literate. I learnt every youth wants to be unique, but the world around us is doing its best to make them just like everybody else. This everybody else is convenient but the "unique I" is a tough road. I feel like I have a responsibility towards making this world/country a prospered and educated one where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high.
