So I am writing it after a long time, and you'll find me writing to you quite often now, if not everyday. This is a debate which took place between me and my friends on a friend's facebook status. Enjoy while you read the excerpts of it. :)
Status: Can anyone explain why Andaman and Nicobar is given home state advantage with West Bengal for NIT, Durgapur?

Samarth: Rip Logic...Govt. Schemes bhai
Jane: exactly.
Christian: its because they dont have any coaching centres or that type of culture there and most of the occupied people are bengali.. that's why the home state advantage..
Ronnie: its not my fault they dont have one......will they let me even a free night stay at a hotel for giving away my seat at nit to them...or even my distant relatives.....frankly realising the fact that hard work dose NOT pay off.......
Christian: then who's fault is it? try a bit socialism... there are still people in india who cant afford four to five tutions plus coaching centers.. there are some people who got below than me then still got NIT.. but im not complaining becoz most of them are economically deprived..
Gaurav: but isn't that ironical..?? we're trying progress by giving the downtrodden an opportunity and not actually giving the deserving a chance..?? does 5 tuitions really count if you don't yourself try...?? doesn't it change and economy of "rich and poor" to "all middle class"...?? is that progress..?? individually, it my be a small progress, but look at the bigger picture my friend.. :)
Jane: Yes five tuitions do make a difference to a person who has no resources to study. Who cannot afford books even. Coaching centres do give a upper hand. Many schools were students are trained only for joints and theres no pressure of boards or school does make a hell lot of difference. So I don't find anything ironical here. And till there is individual progress how the hell do you define the bigger picture?
Gaurav: there's individual progress in bringing the downtrodden to the level of general public, but there's an economic and pan social distress when you find that talent is just a liability. Those who cannot afford books, cannot afford colleges as well then. So why give them benefits? Till a certain point, it is okay. when we help them to walk with us. like till its limited to schooling. But what after that? the deserving don't get a job. but just because you were born somewhere where you don't get 5 tuitions a day. You say boards ma'am..?? don't you see the bigger picture? normalisation? You say you had a pressure of boards? but did not it serve you in the end? Why miss, i won't be surprised if you get a better IIIT or NIT than me. You have to chose between joint and boards unless you are some "high functioning sociopath". frankly, i am not one. i fared badly in boards, but i rather chose not to cry over it. that ma'am is irony, bringing the bar down, just so that everyone can go over it.
Christian:u are just good with words.. nothing else.
Gaurav: yes..??
Christian: bigger picture? u dont know anything about the conditions of people of india still? just imagine a guy who is just talented as u.. cant afford coaching centers or the materials they provide..
Gaurav: guy as talented then has no right to snatch away "my" opportuity. just because he's as talented but just with a "poor" tag maybe, and even though i've worked hard with whatever materials i got, he deserves a chance..??
Christian: swap places and think..
Gaurav: again the same thing...wouldn't this mean we all end up in call centers together..?? just because one who had the knowledge wasn't given a chance and one who didn't have the knowledge was just given a chance cause he did not recieve that "knowledge"..?? swap places..?? why should i..?? just cause i was lucky growing up the way i did..??
Christian: yeah obviously.. arrey.. just think if they did better than u with the resources u had.. if u were lucky then u dont think they should have been given a chance,, u dont want a fair fight or what?
Gaurav: i don't understand why is "if" always a factor. they were not born as lucky..reservations and stuff came along in the late 90s'...did not people breathe or eat or live or rise from their bad luck back then..?? you say everyone who has . wasn't it you who once told me to bloody stand up to what you got..?? just because i was born fat and with hyper extended legs, doesn't mean i cannot play anything dude. i'll never have fun watching them. but that doesn't mean i'll give up something i've fought for, for someone who did not even fight..be it for any reason..
So this is a lovely debate that was brought on between couple of friends. Hope you enjoy reading it and also leave your valuable comments. :)
