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 bête-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."
