I have been saying this to some people since quite some time, but no one bothered to take me seriously. May be because I am not Azim Premji :)) Its really nice to read about what people like Premji and Murthi think on such apparently insignificant, but deep rooted topics. Why do we give so much importance to academic success? In the present scenario, all that it certifies is the memory prowess of a person. Nothing more!! How many actualy understand and how many just remember? We forget one basic thing. Even our IQ tests are skewed. Someone with good logic and math skills will score more in IQ tests. I was one of the high scorers. But no one has a low IQ. Its only that they have a higher IQ in a different field. I want my children to be good human beings. I don't care if they are good students. I would simply hate it if my daughters are top scorers in their class, but are rude to others. Shahab, I have lots more to say on the topic. But this is not my blog, its yours. LOL.
