it is not clear what message the author intends to communicate to the readers. Does he mean that the students should not study regularly in the class and slip sometime which would ultimately take them to England? What is the achievement he made by not seriously taking up studies in India. It is a known fact that some of the Universities in England/ Europe/ USA have reserved certain seats for outside students. By merely obtaining a degree in England does not mean everything. The brillant students, though poor, will not have an uncle like what he had. Good wishes.

The only message is that a person who is interested in some field should pursue that field for the sheer joy of it... The amount of money, whether the job is high level or low level should not and does not matter... Indian mentalities...

He could have done that in India. But the author is not qualified to for that 'low level' job in India so he escaped to UK and is now whinning about Indian education system
Even though im very succesfull in India...i had times wen i faced such situation.
U have written it very well....
When i was a lil kid.....i used to like a few subjects and infact fail at others....later in 9th standard....it just changed...i suddenly turned out to be the class topper.

I personally feel....we need to control the population...
Too much competetion wud stress out young lads...!
Who are succesful wud b the best in the world....but wat abt who arent succesful...?
You will be able to measure up your success only after you adapt your foreign degrees to suit our Indian standards and industry requirements in order to obtain gainful employment. And by the way don't forget that the Union Jack and Uncle Sam are firstly more interested in GBPs and $$$ from foreign students as they run their Universities just like the McDonalds and KFC where the bottom line is - sales and money!
PLAN INDIA GET UNPLANNED.......RET RACE IS SOME CHILD PLAY.....NOBODY WANTS TO BE IN...EVERYONE WANTS FAIR PLAY......NO COLONIAL MINDSET ,YES NOW A DAYS IF U TALK ABOUT VALUE,HAPPINESS,REAL LOVE PEOPLE WILL SAY U R GOING MAD IS THEY WANT TO BE IN THAT STATE OR ARE THEY HAPPY....CAN THEY SAY THEY ARE RIGHT?CAN THEY PROUD OF WHAT THEY DID OR DOING?
Your write-up was very inspiring. These are strange ways of the Almighty -- when one door closes He opens another. You have a wonderful mother and paternal uncle. I wish you well.
Well some of the feelings shared by aruni is really reverberating inside me.. there are some truth but the way it has been put sounds a bit like colonial mindset..kolkatta is full of it.. but this rat race undoubtedly exists !!
