Shukar Hain ke mein saare indians ki tarah nahi hoon. atleast, i work. just dont study. for me, college mon-fri. i have to keep up with all the film clubs and crap and than i have work. uggg raat ke 3baaje tak jaagta hoon study study study...  i still have the moto "study hard, party hard" anyways, college is just awesome after studying so much . YO lets go clubbing, Yo lets go eat out, Yo lets go here, Yo lets go there                                        

now what does that mean. exactly

im sure you know what i mean.

but the ones who do not work, will only study , and the whole year they party, so that makes only one job possible before exams - that is to study.

ab atleast exam se pehle padh lena chihiye, pura saal waise bhi here and there hi nikalta hai

arent Indians stereotyped as "closet study." in many cases, university does require to be active not just be a closet study. come home and study.

well we are talking of boards here, what maters is to top, ab university mai padho, closet mein ya kitchen mein does not matter, and yes inidans are sadly stereotyped that way, but desis are active in universities, aren't they indians

I avoid studying as much as possible. Totally hate school. I tried to sabotage my own acceptance letter to college. That's how bad it is. hehe So I'd be the first person to say that everything is wrong with the school system, and I'm sure that I'd be completely and utterly wrong in saying so.

It's not that I'm bad in school, I do just fine but I have yet to learn much from it. 90% of what I know is what I've learned on my own and 99.9% of what I've needed so far has come from what I've learned on my own and a measly .1% has come from school. I basically just consider school to be a waste of time, money and energy that I could be using to do something a lot more productive. Then again, maybe that's just because I'm in the USA school system. Personally, though, I'm glad I don't have to go through the same system as you. I think the time when my cousin (he's way older than me) made me memorize the times table was the most traumatic experience of my life. So yeah, I'm sure the stress of doing something like that repeatedly would've driven me to do something idiotic.

i agree, studies/ work aint for everyone. thankfully, even the western economies and educational systems do just fine on the back of maybe at most 10% achievers. enuff to carry the rest of the folks around. given that, why study when someone can play a vital role filling in, free-loading and flipping burgers, no?

You know I would love to meet one Desi mom who boasts about her son who dropped out of high school to flip burgers, or her daughter who backpacked across Europe with her trippy hippie boyfriend attending all the rock fests and raves. That would be awesome.
