Annexure Rule 17 BPEE "A Menace"

*Rule17 0f the Reservation Rules-JKBPEE “a menace”
Yes! You heard and read well, it is Rule 17, a draconian rule, that relatively depicts its inherent meaning i.e.; “one reserved categorist is legal for ruling 17(seventeen) general category students in JKBOPEE PG(MD/MS) Exam. The panorama of the present treatment with people like medicos can be compared to plight of civilization during the reign of the Rams2(Pharaoh), where these two periods of time simulate each other for miserable life of innocents. Rationally a state of perplexing, one finds awfully hard to discover stability in the malignancy of stereotyped dogma, because the candidates belonging to reserved categories enjoy esteem over the most proficient and hold the cachet. Being a novice in medicine, it becomes an ambiguous concern for me to present the manner of the government demonstrating progress of our state. But it is not a matter of incongruity; you stumble on quid pro quo of everything here, be it in medicine, law or education et cetera. You can glimpse on the skewed growth in every aspect.This dilution of intellectuals in different fields has led to somewhat unlocking of the professed Pandora’s Box where Murphy’s Law applies only to the creamy layer, who are incurred to bare the utmost disgrace. Referring to the context, I exemplify the reality of prejudice being offered to the OM Students in PG (M.D/M.S) entrance examination conducted by BPEE. Instead of the fact of sharing the same atmospheric umbrella of exposure, knowledge, faculty and expertise, candidates from reservation categories’ are still benefited after completion of their medical schools! If they are considered to be contenders of equivalent faction as that of creamy layer by MCI and are titled to gyrate along the horizon of same arc, then why is there discrimination or chauvinism? Not enough, the reserved category students get pleasure from the Mendelein legacy of their descent at the time of counseling, posing peril (rule 17) to the OM candidates and in its place of having privileged position/marks are coerced to opt for the streams infra-dig to their merit. In respect to this reversion, there is no pragmatic solution from authorities. Amplifying in converse, the system sustains them to reach their heights and latitude of hopefulness. In view of the trouble of OM students at the time admission in medical school, we can see the endeavor put by them in getting selection. After getting admission and meanwhile during training, a poor OM student comes to know about the ripple effect of being OMtians, where Rule 17 dominates his psyche. In order to get PG seat they have to outlay vital part of their life in the scorching scuffle of competition where Darwin’s theory of natural selection plays the role i.e.; survival of the fittest. This is not incorrect, but essence of competitive exams, in order to eliminate square pegs from round holes, provided there is no nepotism among participants. But if we look into the matter through a pin hole then it is undemanding to conclude that, in case of competitive exams here the general category and other categories behave like two miscellaneous species, hence there is no natural selection but artificial selection. It seems to be just a conspiracy to devalue the talent pool while human resource. Pardon me! My analysis is not to craft a social racism but to the overtone the weight of the competitive exams likes PG(MS/MD) entrance etc. At the end I request BPEE to introspect into the situation to have amendment of the RULE 17 as reservation like this at PG (MD/MS) level is a bias in the delivery of health system.

Archer Lost The Bull's Eye(present and future education tappering towards mediocrty)

The utopian epigram “archer lost the bull's eye”per-se vindicates the stratagem of our education system, and thereby in the social order, is tapering towards mediocrity. My perspective vis-a-vis current way of delivering education is that it is cat walking on a ridiculous platform. I substantiate the statement of, the Sir Don David-prize winner Prof. CNR. Rao(a world renowned solid state &materials chemist & Scientific Advisory to the PM)"If IT is going to take away our values, burn Bangalore...burn IT .An NRI asked him, If India is so great in IT, how come it produces only 25 PhDs in computer science per year? Quoting Prof. Rao, can an India of the future afford such a highly skewed growth like this? All the humors should be balanced -we must also have good poets, good economists, fine historians, quality scientists & top-class engineers, as to achieve a goal of developed nation. Keeping in view the above paradigm, it is not a fag end and one can easily divulge such a manifestation in our valley too. In lieu of IT in Bangalore, avaricious & materialistic education is taking the same architectural scaffolding. The arena of our understanding education is constrained as to meet our livelihood & to earn living-wages. Our people have lost respect for erudition. Cupidity and commerce have taken our and taking away our basic values. The attention lavished on materialistic education, goes the feelings, diminished the dignity of every other intellectual professions and red-tapping the file of progression. The ice-berg profile abide by the principle carpe-diem i.e., live for the day.Nowadays, most of us believe in the fact that one should live a luxurious life as be ostensive to others. While ostracizing other professions of intellect, the quid pro quo expedite in a society and carve up its effect on the forthcoming generation, leading to dilution and deficit of intellect.The parents and guardians brazen out their wards to pull off a career where they can get a prolific trade. Let me epitomize medicine, engineering or management spheres, where parents shove their children to pursue such courses without knowing their capabilities and endowment. Pardon me! It is bilateral contract, to play blind man's buff, where their children go halves in the game. It is a state of perplexity to have a lot of young people getting big salaries provided they don't take away the essential life-blood of other professions. Plethora of intelligent people is doing jobs that are infra-dig to their intellectual capabilities. They are like coolies who are working for wages and not producing great intellectual material. The situation we have created in recent years is highly polluted, garbage strewn everywhere, including the intellectual garbage dumped on this valley by the materialistic education. People have forgotten the principle of ergonomics in-toto and bĂȘte-noire its value and meaning, defacto .Nobody among us likes to toss and turn the coin and to look the other side of the coin, where there are piles of avenues and arcane to be unleashed yet. Ipso-facto, the fur ore of the materialistic education will gradually haul and confiscate the intellectual capabilities from our generation and ostracize the intellect. Amounting to the facet, its aftermath will unlock the Pandora’s Box, to hamper the young as to tick the futile Hobson's choice offered by the voxpop. If people would not follow the principle of ergonomics i.e., elimination of square pegs in round holes, then we effortlessly tunnel our younger generation in a state of great stress and cul-de-sac, vandalizing their buoyancy on cloud of nine .Ex- post- facto, it will turn into depression on dramatic forms, evident from the famous painting of Edward Munch (1863-1944),** The Scream**.Forget the bullshit! Alfred Benet’s IQ concept,that makes a mode for the youngsters not to accomplish research as they flexibly pretext the encumbrance. Scientist of all times, Albert Einstein, a renowned Noble Laureate and theoretical physicist said "Brain, so IQ, is like a muscle which can be trained". Let me quote Michael Hart, who authored a book “The 100,” ranked the most influential persons in the history and accept as true! Nobody among them is a magnate or blue-blooded icon like the modern czar Steel Mittal or Micro soft Gates, in-extenso. The ranked hundred icons are from different fields of endeavors viz scientists inventors(37); mediocrity political and military services(30);secular philosophers(14); Religious Leaders(11);Artistic and Literary figures(6);and Explorers(2);this statistical data recapitulates that history, indeed, immortalizes the intellect not the tycoon. So it is the time to eschew the orthodox hypocritical path and avert to quiddle the precious time. One should choose the profession to which he fits utmost, so that one can give best out of him to the society. At the end, listen to the voice of your inner consultant, it will always be with you & will guide safely through even the most difficult situations and at last, not least, Greek philosopher, Socrates (469-399 BC), said "Know thyself."
