Another Gang Rape in India :/

After the gang-rape of a 23 year old student on a bus in Delhi 3 month ago, a Swiss woman, aged 39 years old has been gang raped in a the state of Madhya Pradesh last Friday!

The woman, along with her husband, were camping overnight at a village when they were attacked by 8-10 men! The aggressors got the over hand on the husband before sexually assailing the woman... :/ To top it off, the assailants even stole the valuables stuffs the couple had on them! 

Is India a safe place for women?

Accodring to TrustLaw, India has been ranked as the worst G20 country in which to be a woman! Crimes related to raping is on the growth, with a rise of 9.2% over the previous year. Not to mention the several kidnapping cases or murder over the dowry payments, torture, woman trafficking...

"Female foetuses are aborted and baby girls killed after birth, leading to an appallingly skewed sex ratio. Many of those who survive face discrimination, prejudice, violence and neglect all their lives, as single or married women."

It was only last week that we celebrated International Women's Day, but don't you think that women are being disrespected, sexually discriminated? Not only in India, but all around the world?

Maybe we've built highways, huge buildings but our minds are becoming narrower and more perverted! Families are breaking, values are being jeopardized... We may be gaining more and more knowledge, but at the expense of possessing Wisdom! 

Can a teacher call a student stupid?

Defn of stupid: Lack of intelligence, understanding, slow to learn…

Does that mean if we suck at Math, we’re stupid?

Definitely NO!!!

A small anecdote: My maths teacher would often refer us as being stupid/retarded cos we’re not understandin any shit he is explainin! He would even say, I quote, “You need to be clever to do Maths, which you are not!”

Soo, can a teacher call a student “stupid”?

A teacher, by no means, should call a student stupid or retarded! A teacher’s job is to explain you when you don’t understand something, and not the opposite! As one of my teacher said: “A teacher is a guide, someone to make a difference! Someone who should treat the students the same way he treats his own child…”

Teachers should have good pedagogical skills:

Effective teachers use an array of teaching strategies because there is no single, universal approach that suits all situations. 

Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes. 

Some strategies are better suited to teaching certain skills and fields of knowledge than are others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and abilities. (Souce: http://the-teacher.wikispaces.com/Pedagogy+-+Teaching+and+Learning+Strategies)

Besides, intelligence has to do with your capability to learn new things & think intuitively, creatively. I really think that being street smart is far more important than being book smart! Book smart will get you through your calculus class, but it will not get you through life! Math is just a learned skill, you just need to study them enough until eventually you can just memorize most of the information!

Personally, I think that street smart and common sense skills are much more important than something in a book… :)

Why i dnt like my University.. :/

Im currently studyin' Engineering and im already in my II semester & i really hate the system they use at our University.

1. Everything is exam-oriented! They are not preparing us for the job world but rather only on how to pass the exams! Everytime the teacher would explain some stuff in class, eventually he would need to say: "Ok, so this part carries 5 marks for exams" and bla bla bla... :/ 

This really sucks cos wat's the use of having an Engineering Degree if you don't even know how the job world really is! 

Engineering Fact

The only thing you type on your Final Year Engineering Project is your name, roll number & group number...

Everything else is: CTRL+C and CTRL+V

2. The teachers would only stick to what is there in the syllabus and would not bother to tell us about the applications where we would use these stuffs in real life!

There's no such thing as innovation, but we needa stufy only exam-related materials...

Engineering Fact

I study... I rake the test!

I pass it...

I forget what I learned...

I start a new Semester!...

3. Personally, for my I-Semester exams, you could just have answered some previous years questionnaires and sit for the exams! 

The questions are merely a repetition of previous years ones.. Sooo, are the students really learning something or they are just learning the answers by heart? 

Engineering Fact

Exams don't test what you know. They test how well you can study the night before the test.

1 Like = $1, 1 Pray, 1 Shit!

Newest craze on fb: "If i get 1000+ Likes, my (some shit) will do (some shit) for me.."

Parents please!! You love your kids, so there's no need to use 'em to get likes!!! I wonder if in the future they would have to 'beg' for likes to get food!!!

Another shit: 1 Like = $1

 

If fb was really goin' to donate some dollars for every like, there would have been some Official Notice about that (maybe on your home page or other kinda notifications), and not some dumbass stuff about 1 Like=$1...!!!

Just a meme i guess...

1 Like = 1 Prayer

So 1 like=1 pray, 1 comment=10 prays & 1 share=100 prays?

Where does this arithmetic comes from? Is it because commentin' on the picture requires more time, more energy or idk wat kinda shit!! & on top of that, 100 prays for 1 share?? Sharin a picture must be such a tiresome task...

And the last one:

Guess the magic trick?? 

Tadaaaaaaa: Nothin!!!

In a nutshell, some ppl are creatin' lutsa stupid ideas about 1 like= somethin, and many ppl are buyin' it and eventually, they're likin, commentin' & sharin' these stuffs.. How far will human stupidity go with the increasin' number of Social Networkin Sites??

Facebook=Personal Diary?

Nowadays, some people consider their Facebook profile to be their Personal Diary.. They wud post all kinda personal stuffs rangin' from what they are eatin to whom they are f*ckin!!!

Here are some posts I've seen on my news feed:

1. I'm at (some place) wit (tag some friends) !! Im havin such a great timeeeee! 

Bitch please! If u were really havin a great time, with your FRIENDS, you wudnt be postin' a status simultaneously...

2.Smokin (some stuffs)

3. Drinking (some stuffs) with (tag some ppl)

 & they would even post photos:

4. Its rainin' outside!!!

Im sure, very soon, im goin' to see somethin like this:

Boyfriend & girlfriend havin' sex.. Boy says: "Wait i need to update my facebook status that im fckin' you & we're havin a nice time.."

:/

On top of that, Facebook has now come wit some texts in their posting space... In the past, it was std: What's happening ?

Now:

Sounds creepy, but looks like Facebook wants to know everythin' that you're doin or you've been doin'..

To top it off, check out this video which is about: Facebook v/s Reality... Enjoy xx

How hard is it to keep a promise?

Definition of the word ‘promise’: 

assure someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something; undertake or declare that something will happen.

How many times has anyone broken the promises they made to you? And how many times have you broken yours?

Every day people make promises to each other.

Promises can be the stuffs people say to win the elections ranging to a father promising to teach his son to ride a bicycle after he returns from work or simply the promises someone made to their better-half.

Sometimes due to some unforeseen circumstances we cannot keep our words. It may be due to lack of time, budget or simply lack of will!

But personally, all people should keep their promises whatever the age group or the magnitude of the promise made; otherwise, they just don't have to make any promises that they don't intend to keep.

Movie: Hugo Cabret

Hugo is an Americ 3D historical adventure drama movie released in 2011. It relates the story of a 12-year old boy, Hugo, who lives alone at a train station in Paris. By repairing a mechanical device that his father found at a museum where he worked, he deciphered some secrets linked to a great film pioneer Georges Melies.

Here's the trailer: 

During the movie, Hugo stated that a machine is made up only of the parts that it requires for the latter to work effectively and not of unnecessary useless parts... In the same way, the world is made up of people who are here to contribute to something to make a better world...

No one is useless in this world, everybody has been sent to accomplish something...

So don't think of yourself as a good-for-nothin, as a waste of space, but instead think in what way you can be useful to the world, to the people around you... "You're Original and cannot be replaced... You just gotta ignite the light & let it shine! Just own the nite like the 4th of July.. Cos baby you're a Firework, show 'em what you're worth..."
