Impractical Knowledge

Today, after a period of two months, I decided to check YouTube India's Trending Page hoping to see a lot of changes and watch quality content being featured on the ' Popular Videos in India ' page, but to my disappointment, nothing has changed since the last time I checked it. The same clickbait videos with misleading thumbnails and titles, videos about making people rich with a few cloves and a lemon, the same vulgar pranks, and the same hateful videos. I'm sorry but I can't post the photos of the videos currently trending on YouTube India. It all began in September 2016 with Reliance Jio's Welcome Offer which offered 1 gigabyte of internet data each day free of cost. The move was targeted to introduce the world of internet to a large population of Indians who could not afford the expensive internet data packs offered by other existing companies. Though this move helped to improve India's connectivity to the internet to a great extent but a...

Hey guys, today we'll be learning how to make a Bollywood movie in a few simple and easy steps but before we begin with the post here's a list of a few things that I'd like to clear up: 1. Bollywood here refers just to the Hindi Film Industry and not the Indian Film Industry as a whole. 2. In this post, I'll be talking about Bollywood in general and not every person in Bollywood falls under that category so obviously there a few exceptions as well. 3. I'm just an 18-year-old teenager who literally has no idea how a Bollywood movie is made but today we try to figure that out. So, first things first: The Script In order to be a scriptwriter in Bollywood, you have to be an expert in the art of leaving your brains home. Yup you read that right because in Bollywood you are not allowed to explore your creative side and write a story with an out of the box new concept as none of the production houses and the so-called mafias will ever fund your ideas. Their...

First of all, I am really sorry for ending the last post abruptly. If you haven't read the first part, be sure to check it out by clicking here . Well, continuing with the post, these are the phones that my mother used in the years 2006 and 2016 respectively. As you may notice, in the past 10 years technology has enhanced rapidly and we need to keep ourselves updated if we want to be a part of the present world. So, why not our education system? Learning and memorizing the same things which were a part of the curriculum 10 years ago makes no sense. The curriculum is prepared by a group of people, deciding what millions of kids would be learning while sitting in a room, without any feedback from those whose life gets directly affected; the students . Also, in the recent years, the trend of joining coaching centers for cracking entrance exams has seen exponential growth. The coaching industry in Kota was valued at Rs.300 crore in the year 2013. Parents pressurizing their ki...

Guys, this is my class 12th Physics Board examination paper and these are some of the " very important " 5-mark questions which can supposedly make or break your future (well at least that's what our education system made me believe).   To be very frank with you, I don't know the answer to any of these questions and believe me it’s only been 5 months since I appeared for the exam. I also don’t know why I was taught and made to memorize these things in the first place as none of them make any sense or have any practical use in my real life. I still can’t recall how I managed to score 48/70 in the theory paper because if I had to appear for the paper tomorrow I’d surely flunk the exam. From the above example, you might get the point of me naming this post as ‘ Everything Wrong with Our Education System ’. Me not knowing the answer to any of these questions does not really make any difference in my life and yet these are the questions which decide the k...
