Some of the major "AURORA MOMENTS" of my life happened while i studied stuff related to science. I call those moments of discovery and adventure "aurora moments " because this beautiful subject is filled with amazing things we dont know about both, the believable and the unbelievable world. This particular post is about my transformation from a pure scince student to a more versatile one of mass communication...
Science..... a subject which is very much underrated these days,not in the context of amount of studies required to pass it or in the context of career streams that people can opt for,but in the actual practice of "studying" science. Students think that if they read and learn the text along with the punctuation marks of a few thick science books like "Pradeep" , they can say that they are science students. Getting 90 % determines who is the scientitst of the class and whose not. Students are more interested in rote learning the defenitions than doing experiments on their own and finding out answers ! Infact,unfortunately, in our CBSE syllabus, more weightage is given to theory part than to practicals and even in the little bit of practicals that we do we waste most of our time in trying to maintain our "practical files". Our leaders are trying to reform the education system alot (Kapil Sibbal is now like a God to many. :D thank you Sir ! ) but actual reform is required in the attitude of today's children. They need to understand that its not ONLY the books that enhance your knowledge. They need to understand that love for science should be the only reason why one should study it. You should be able to apply the scientific principles in real life situatons and analyse them spontaneously......
I took science (non-medical) for the love of it... when i was in class 10, i didn't know what i actually wanted to do in life but i knew that it wasn't engineering or doctor and even then i took science. But after my boards i realised that i am not the kind of person who can concentrate on just one subject. I wanted a more versatile course in which i can explore the world in a more wider frame. I wanted a career where i can quench my thirst for knowledge as well as my thirst to speak my thoughts..... So, i opted for mass communication. I was hesitant beacause i thought maybe i'll miss all that science has in store for me but i realised that being in this world of mass communication i can actually explore the world more freely....
I am not saying that one subject is better than the other because both are equally amazing but i am saying that love for a subject is defenitely bigger than what the stereotype image of the subject is...and i have always studied what i loved...
