@GabbbarSingh With writing skills dipping to their lowest..a well written, grammatically correct, fluent piece might be mistaken for AI by most.
It was a felt and thought for piece..one can feel the heart behind it.
My wife (Ria) went to AIIMS. I went to IIT Delhi.
We watched 'Hello Bachhon' on Netflix this weekend. One kid in the show breaks down walls in his village to sell bricks so he can afford coaching fees. A girl hides her textbooks because her parents want her married off.
Throughout the show, Ria and I realized that we never had to fight for any of that.
We had access to coaching. Good coaching. Neither of us ever worried about whether we'd get to prepare.
The IIT-AIIMS crowd loves talking about the grind. # of hours of self-study per day, the pressure, and sleepless nights. I've done it too. But that grind starts after you already have access. Most of us skipped the actual hard part and don't even know it because the people who are capable but can't afford access are invisible. They're not in your coaching batch. They're not in your college. You never compete against them because they never got the chance to show up.
We credit hard work more than it deserves. Sometimes the biggest advantage was just being born in the right city to the right family.
'Hello Bachhon' made this truth hard to ignore. Great watch.
TIL they don't make slambooks anymore. Searched online for daughter, then went to a few shops,even archies.Was told they are not in use since 10 years and no one asks for them.
So what are kids doing for memories when they are leaving school?

@GabbbarSingh Latest addition to the list of things that made you feel old.
Watching the show made one smile from ear to ear, as if watching the performance of the kiddos of an old friend..you see,you know there are some dips, but your heart is filled with unexplicable warmth for the kid.
And you want him to shine, to do well in life.

My pet peeve is how people write 'जी' on WhatsApp..
'Ji' is normal, than there is this 'G', and Gi which are both abhorrent..and then today I saw the abomination of
'Zee'...haha
