if its console gaming!...then its right here...

I was thinking that gaming is just a child’s play and not for the grown ones. But I happened to stumble upon a website called savebuckets, which sells Nintendo Wii gaming consoles on the net. Since am not avid gamer I must concede, it was so surprising that there were so many Nintendo Wii gaming consoles that this site sells. For a layman who does not have much idea about gaming consoles and price ranges, I would really recommend this website. It was particularly interesting to note that this year’s most popular game is “Wi fit”.

The website gives the best deals anyone can have on the net. It compares the various price ranges of all the consoles from all over the net. Another stark thing about the website is, if we are not satisfied with the price put up at various console models, the website comes up with an option of “watch this product” where in it asks us to specify a price and whenever the price comes in that range it emails us back that the console price has come down. Though it deals primarily with the best in Wii Gaming consoles of Nintendo Wii. It also deals with other gaming consoles from different manufacturers. But majorly it’s Nintendo Wii. And the coolest thing about the website is it shows what other potential buyer saw after seeing a particular console; in this way we know what is the happening product in the gaming world. Well if you are planning buy a wii gaming console any sooner, then do check out the site for great deals!

EXAMS - WHAT ARE THEY FOR...???

Exams....Exams.....Exams.....What are these words,where did they come from...i dont have any idea...u have any??....from the day i reached the secondary education i lost all my battle for the first mark with my counterparts.That day i asked myself what are these exams goin to do my life?...are the exams the best judge of a students talent and potential...i would say a big NO!!...

Take a student who gets a aggregate of 90 and another student who gets a mere pass...what our society decides on the child who gets a mere pass...he is pushed back in all fronts...since because he gets a mere pass it doesnt mean he is unfit for education its actually the other way round the education becomes unfit for him.

We boast ourselves having educational institutions which are best in the world...but what are we doing in these institutions...we make the students cram...vying eachother for marks...we dont understand the inborn talent or the interset in a child in stead we all push them to our will...we are only concerend about how to get the top mark in the class...we don encourage the child to think on its own...the sense of marks gets into the child and it is not able to think on its own in stead it has to concentrate only on marks....

where are we headin???....is the question i ask myself whenever i sit for a exam...a student may mug all the facts and figures and reproduce it like a xerox copy in the exam..but what about the one who cant mug????....he may not have the ability of mugging but he may have the talent of remodeling a motor...but we dont encourage that we say the student is dull and average...

The system has to change we don need marks and grades to support our life we need something practical knowledge to sustain in this world...The greats in this world are not educated the biggest example was einstein...i am not saying education is ruthless and we need to boycott it completley...we need a radical change we need to throw away our useless grading and marking system and try and analyse the child based on its and talent and interest.
