4th Idiot
Mr. Perfect aka. Aamir Khan is back with another bollywood hit 3 Idiots. This man some how keeps exceeding the audience
expectations. I felt its fully what we call " A Paisa wasool movie". Evey character has acted superbly in the movie, even Kareena
Kapoor I must added has really tried hard to act at some parts of the film. Although there are some exaggerations, which is
perfectly acceptable in a hindi movies. Afterall we cannot be too greedy right ?
The movie is all about the present education system. Rigth from Parents, teachers to students are all after good grades and marks
and no one talks about any new invention which is so true. We all wanna join top colleges and institues not to learn or gather
knowledge but just to get placed in some big MNC after 4years.
Although its just a movie, it is something that we all really need to think about. Universities are the seeds, water and earth for
inventions. Only when the universities work towards developing new technologies will the R&D of a country develop. Its worth noting
that all the latest technologies that we see around today without which life would be nearly impossible like Internet, search
engines, etc was developed by university students and professors and not by any top MNC's.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not totally against the education system that we have in place today. but we cannot deny the fact that
changes need to be done. India today, to the world is just another service providing nation. Maximum of the inventions thathappen
outside India be it any front. Those guys put their brains and skills and develop new things. We just go, learn it from them and
implement it for them again, at a cheaper cost.
Why is it so. Is it because we donot have brains ? The answer is as you all know, its a BIG "NO". Then what's the reason ?
The answer to this (its my feeling ) We do have brains but we have never been taught how to use it. Rigth from childhood We are
only taught to repair not to create. We are just another machines, who do things with a little bit of artificial intelligence to modify things but not humans.
The reason behind being such a good service provider should be accredited to the
education system. Right from our schools we are taught to replicate whats there in the textbooks, the better you replicate better are your marks. No place for innovation, no time for thinking because we are so busy learning the inventions. As written by a son to his father in a letter, "Father I can't even recognize if Mr. Albert Einstein comes and stands before me, because I am too busy studying about him".
Its high time that we change our education pattern from theoretical base to practical base because we donot need "Mechanics" labelled as Engineers, but true "Engineers" who can create marvels.
