You are absolutely right in that the standard of primary education must be
sound to prepare the foundation for high school and college. This is also the
time to orient the young minds to ethical responsibilities as I have been
saying in previous emails. Primary education is a right of every citizen and
must be provided by the state (read government if you like).
At the same time, Assam cannot neglect the domain of the elite :-), the
IIT's, IIM's and other such portals to Indian stardom :-). Coaching for the
entrance exams are traditionally provided in the big cities by fee-based
organizations and Assam shouldn't be any exception. If a philanthropist teacher
wants to set up free coaching for the under-privileged, more power to him.

Yes, it is a good is idea. It will certainly help the ELITE and the
privileged who can afford to avail of these opportunities. Because the
underprivileged have a far more serious problem: Their educational background
is such that NO AMOUNT of FREE coaching will let them catch up.
What is direly needed is a massive effort to improve basic, primary
education, without which no one can move up to the next tier.

Take pride in being the torchbearer. This is just becuase of
generation/knowledge gap. Please don't forget that you are representing a
region where there are people for whom
having a look at a computer is a distant dream.
Cheer it up guys ...

Some more statements from our enlightened Assamese which gets me mad:
Oh so you want to study fashion designing but why do you want to be a tailor ?
Oh so you want to do mass communication but why do you want to be a cameraman ?
Oh so you stood 2nd in the exams ?
what a pity ,we thought you would be first.( Dosent matter if the guy/lady's
own children are bad in studies) Oh so you want to study hotel manangement but
why do you want to be a cook ?
So just chill coz our NE guys are doing good everywhere: in software, in BPO,
in aviation ,in hotel mamagement etc etc. No need to explain to dumbos.Everyjob
is important but we Assamese do not understand the value of work & think that
some work are below our dignity.

Very true Saumar,
It's indeed a gargantuan task to explain the difference to such people. I have
committed the Himalayan blunder quite a couple of times. The moment you end up
describing about the multi-national company (MNC) you are working for, pat
comes the response....Ohhh!!...I get it. A BPO!! (like hell he/she knows..may
not even know the full form, leave alone the what it stands for! You wince, but
valiantly keep a straight face! He/she continues nonetheless...) It is really
sad that you people in MNCs have to talk to clients all through the
night!?...You try once, you repeat twice, thrice, trying to get it straight
again, ultimately you sagely bob your head and echo...yes,
sometimes..especially when I can't get any sleep!
"When you can't beat them, join them"... is what most of us end up doing.
Regards,
Gitanjali Hazarika
PS: Infosys is a helluva company guys. Great work. Show them your skills. Let
them taste the power of Assamese talent. Congratulations once more. May your
tribe increase.
