Conversation b/w PC & Mr. G (Fiction)

Scene 2: A Coffee Shop

PC:

So you existed when subsisted no flesh or sphere,

Or any other animated Being in this dark cosmic despair!

Mr. G:

And what qualifies you to be the flesh, son, to whom I shalt unfold?

Truth or myth, about the indomitable; ratify the stories that were told;

PC:

To question the myth or truth is not a sin, or is it Dear Mr. G?

For isn't it that knowing the reason or purpose sets the soul free?

Mr. G:

Ain't hurt son, when someone questions the faith!

But when that trust trembles what was once infused in the flesh, to create;

PC:

Then no wrong in forgetting for good; shalt blameth not me,

No longer their hate shalt be restricted, would expand; won't disagree!

Quitetude!

Mr. G:

Learn to let it go! Indeed! But learnt from whom? Learnt from thee!

Then proposition no wrong if proffered to let go; from this covenant, set me free!

And what effect would be on belief, when knowing about universal ark!

Whether truth ends with a name or remains unexplored beyond a marge;

Illuminate! And there shalt always be beautiful minds around!

Not from those academic stews where Politicking flesh buttressed by projectors are found;

PC:

But where one shalt go, whom to look for, when enwreathed in affliction or travesty?

Mr. G:

For all is made of Cosmos, son; Answers lies within thee!

Be like an Ocean, even if one gets encircled with filth or hate,

Those who dwell besides, shalt chant with pride; but you never cross the ambit, follow its trait;

Now let's set aside this conversation: beginning or where it ends,

And enjoy the bestest taste of nature, poured in Mocha Grande :)

True Excellence

A Seventeen-Year-Old Unschooled Mumbai girl, Malvika Joshi, approached Top Indian Institutes for Admission. Her Credentials? Three Times Medal Winner at Programming Olympiad. And as expected, it is deduced, as contended in Media, the admission was denounced & refuted. Seems, the only reason was as she had not Cleared the so called PATTERN (10^th or 10+2 or Whatever). But look, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recognized her potential & not only the admission they offered to her but Scholarship too. Now that's True Excellence.

And there is an interesting story behind her. Her Mother was working for an NGO who takes care of Cancer Patients. And when she discerned STRESSED children succumbing to such monstrous disease, she pulled her child out when she was in 7th grade & started homeschooling, where this child, whose dreams were later scuppered by Indian Institutes, discovered the liking for Programming. For her Mother, Happiness is more important than conventional knowledge (sic). And as stated by her Mother in news projectors, she wasn't studying to get into any IVY league but was just exploring her curiosity in Programming, which later MIT acknowledged, but never any Indian Institute except one in Chennai which offered her Admission directly for Masters Course. And the Logic behind refuting her the Admission? We all know, for Eternity shalt be same: CLEAR THE PATTERN.

It's not only developing or poor lands who are Obsessed with this PATTERN. After all, they have cultivated this theory through Developed Lands only. But there is a difference betwixt comprehending exposition in verbatim & observing any logic (in such cases, Command) carefully, in which, off course developing & poor lands woefully crumbled. And as I am reading, they are Restricting the Age Limit for Admissions too! SIGH!

This only demonstrates what kind of people are getting schooled or making rules & also reflects how the overall societal development is stumbling. 

And obviously, if Top Institutes or Universities start admitting people on the basis of True Natural Merit & Not on Marks or PATTERN, then how we would justify the existence of coaching centers. Right? Never Mind!
