The plague of modern productive life. Disagreeing with Ms. Shobha De. http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/politically-incorrect/dying-at-22-is-too-steep-a-price-for-being-the-best/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=TOI Right now, hundreds of over-wrought parents are undertaking pricey campus tours of various universities abroad. They believe this is their ‘duty’ since they want their kids to ‘get the best’. Is this what they mean by ‘the best’ ? We have equally good universities in India. What sort of absurd pressure is this that forces parents and students to go overseas in the hope of ‘bettering prospects’? Why not have confidence in your child’s ability to shine in India, without going through the sort of trauma Sarvshreshth suffered? Yes, we have ragging in our colleges, and no, some of our academic laurels are not as prestigious in global job markets as Ivy League degrees. So what? If you’ve got it, you will make it. Anywhere!(SHO
