100% Cutoff points for Admission at SRCC

 India, The cutoff admission at Shri Ram College of Commerce [SRCC] in India is subjective not objective in the academe world.
 I write now or forever hold my writ, the origin of the depths of despair among students in India and developing nations, marks above the line, grading and marking system. I will sing from Maharashtra as I commute and study here. Long live the efforts of parents and students, whereas education system fails you! Failure in exams is not failure in Life; the teachers should hearten students, be average Oh! Students and life will prevail forth.
Just got astound, 100% cutoff point for admission into college, The Shri Ram College of Commerce must be for genius students' only. If not the case it's the systems' failure to deliver on the criterion of the marking system.
Delhi University has a scheme afoot to ameliorate on admission and cutoff. Not elimination impasse that colleges bring into play.
Where on earth? Developed or developing nation are students awarded 100%...This is unheard of...The system is flawed. Why should 'the intellectuals' who mark exams try to gratify parents and the nation? I am a product of the system , what's the message to Kenya and the world.... what if my employer  asks me why I never scored 100%.What will I articulate!!
Designed for crème de la crème students out of the ordinary for Shakespeare let alone Albert Einstein 100%!!! Awarded on the planet they are now. Honorary, why not? Errors, uncertainties ...don't mark the quantity mark the quality. As of the soul to the spirit, top Universities in India should lead by case in point and replenish the marking system, lest you forget brain drain, into the rain sweep forth talent 'excellence tape', foreign student alumni job market interview, International universities radar scan.
Its money market, education up for clutch to the rich -those with wooden spoons in their mouths out! Those with silver spoons in... A suicidal mission for ambitions, killing visions of students who toil and work hard from the states like Bihar, Karnataka, Orissa...Among others who cannot reach the cutoff, who will sing for them? I. Remember scientists are average students who never scored 100% and their products -inventions, innovations, research flourish..Someone has to say it strident...if my university lecturer awards me 100% thumbs down! There is a predicament SIR! I will pronounce. Except optional questions for an exam with answers  I sit or appear for...I won't be contented whether I write a marking scheme or not..I should score 99% not 100% there is always a minus one of excellence in academe world... I will be cheerful with 89.
For 'a fake pilot' 100% cutoff for admission OK!
It's not the students' inaccuracy to be awarded 100% rather academe structure taking students along with parents designed for a visual ride.
Transform the system at CBSE - Central Board of Secondary Education.
The Principal of Sri Ram College of Commerce has opened up a can of education 'Geniuses' Mr. Master. Dr. Prof. professor.... I need neither the tags nor acronym to gratify my village. When the shepherd boy asks me Dr. Boitt 'why can't I see the person speaking on television live?'  100%..With no answers? "He studied at the window, while other were in class" he whispers .I miss my natives, meek n modest. My mother wont celebrate 100% once I fail to explain the difference between pink and purple .Cut off 100% for non commerce students, I have a message-' even the ancient founders of arithmetic: methods, texts, formulas; Pythagorean Theorem, the Moscow Mathematical papyrus, Babylonian mathematics never got the cutoff 100% and yet we use their methods, we are proud of them, geniuses' forever elites...this cutoff is irrational, for a job market!  Passable with incompetence, but for a scholar veto!
Academics are not commerce.
This is why schools give out adverts on television, print pop ups online; with a tag international school, parading students 2 by 2 passport photos, give me a break! We are ranked No1??? That's subjective. Media give them a bite or a story of excellence not adverts. This is objective. Its commitment to academic excellence, not award to admissions. As a Chinese proverb goes 'a bird does not sing because it has an answer .It sings because it has a song'
The system that institutes grading parameters has to amend the principles for the Principals, every ranking as per excellence of India's University Grand Commission (UGC) and internationally tested for education is universal.
Education is not a production line measured with marks, the brains will drain in the rain, HRD ministry and the state ministry or departments of education needs to step up the efforts, a system alike for the child in the palace  with LED  LCD 3D..driven and the one in a village with CRT TV, commuting to school, a meal a day equal opportunity in regard to conditions of classes,  class ,region, religion, race ,caste and gender.
As per my take academic angle is never above excellence it's below 97% what about you?
Thanks to the efforts of Indian students home and abroad who toil to study and reach academic heights, traveling abroad and making hay while the sun shines..Let excellence shine on you.
Let us not sing with the magpies in the comfort zone, let's dive with the swallows to find a solution.

Difference between Al Qaeda and Taliban

Al Qaeda and Taliban have the same root from the same region and the same ideology...Their origin Asia.
The founder of Al Qaeda is Osama Bin Laden and Taliban was founded by Mullah Omar

Christian Arabs

They live in the Middle East and across the Arab world.They are followers of Christ.They live with our brothers the Muslims.
I was touched by the heartfelt warm reception,that I got when I met a Kurd from Northern Iraq here in India-wonderful people,the perception I got before was different about Islam, but now I can say the are caring and loving.Few elements in the name of  Islam spoil their names,but majority are my people.
Who are these few? ...Taliban,Alqaeda,..I urge them to preach peace and prosperity and shun war..
Pray for those living in Northern Iraq with whom are persecuted because of their religion,pray for the Christians in Egypt with whom are  victims of their faith,pray for peace and may the world be of a religion of brotherhood and care..peace be upon each one of you you are a sister i am your brother we are on WE ARE ONE WORLD!

TEA 'SLOW POISON'

Tea a slow poison,toxic chemical, we have made our morning breakfast,lest we forget its addictive.Come out of her my people,slow withdrawal,and the headaches,the urge will die down.We have made a habit of drugging ourselves everyday,"teacaholic" we dig our graves with a sip,keeping our minds intoxicated,slow death as we induce different brands into out bodies,it changes the normal working of our bodies and ,nicotine,caffeine -caves our stomachs,ignorance,aah!,we utter ..a sip and friends cup steams high.Less tension,for sleep,for concentration for pleasure as you say...its killing you,destined to sleepless nights,lack of concertration, dizziness and withdrawal syndrome without it
Digging our graves with out tongues,burying ourselves while closing our eyes with the morning tea sips...
TEA A TOXIC CHEMICAL

House Girl

Toil and work,a penny for all.
Sweat no more,rejection a selection
Cry no more redemption at dawn
You sleep with shrills,waken with crows,
Yonder astride life alike
Yorry aside,life at large
You eat remnant's after the carnivores,
The cat miaow's,the dog...barks
Made a maid wife in absentia
Loved by children ,mothers aside
Husbands prey, a wife to be
Yelled upon,life goes on
Never give up,head high
You are our heroes.

 May Japanese flag fly high..Long live Japan
