All throughout my childhood I kept hearing from my parents that we should teach others what we have learnt. Damn true, maybe my mom dad were one of those who are counted in the good part of the society. But there are many who don't follow this saying. Few days ago I had read a phrase that if a man learns he educates himself but if a women learns she educates the society. But this too isn't true, and I am not saying this blindly. I do have a proof, that such virtues don't exist these days.
I am a student studying from one of the best institutes in Mumbai, and seeking post graduation in HR. After almost 5 months of college, one thing that I have realized is that if anyone can help me it has to be me and only me.
First Day at college:
There are new faces all around and everyone is busy in their own world. Some reading business papers, some reading other stuffs while some are like me wondering as to what others are reading?
The first day goes smooth as I din't knew anyone. Made some new friends, spoke for sometime on the standards of the college, placements of the college etc.
The first month:
Somehow managed to make few good friends but there is something fishy. Still in an uncomfortable state as it's just the beginning. Not much but just the introductory lectures and freshers party were scheduled in this first month. Maybe they wanted us calm us down and help us settle down.
The second month:
All lectures starts and it's high time to rest, lectures on Sundays too! Oops that's too tiring and getting up early at 6 was a big deal, especially during winters. Skipped a few lectures, somehow managed to cover up whatever lil I missed. Everyone is busy studying but no one share their notes and on the contrary people say that they aren't studying but they actually are.
The third month:
Exams coming near by, and by this time round I've skipped few important lectures due to personal problems. Seeking for help I approached few friends but none seem to help, not even share their notes. If I was in their place I would surely help them by sharing my notes with them. One might say it's easy to say this but I am a person who helps people in their difficulty. Looking at this behavior I was totally disgusted. People stopped sharing the copies of assignment too. I mean if it was so confidential, I would have never asked for it but c'mon it's just notes.
And this was the condition of every other student like me who missed their lectures due to personal problems or any other problem.
There must be competition I agree but this wasn't acceptable. It's being jealous and trying to outsmart each other. Behave like humans and share especially when it comes to education.
Friends who have two faces are the ones who hurt even more. It's me and only me who can help myself.
