What has happened to passion?
It seems that extremism doesn’t help. At one point in time, one realizes his or her dreams. And one works towards them. From being an artist or a doctor or even a Computer Engineer as am I.
This is a thought that has been haunting me these past couple of days as I struggle to revive what passion I once had, that was drowned in a world filled with competition and expectations and the ALMIGHTY examinations that dominates our educational system. The examinations that we all are pressurized throughout our courses to answer as perfectly as is possible, keeping aside all else that could distract us. In this process I have come to find that passion gets lost somewhere along the way and we … maybe I should just refer to myself, .. and I forgot why I am doing the things I am doing.
Why am I working so hard. Yes no doubt I know that I had passion for computers. And I still do. Along the way I realized that my passion also lied in the field of academics, of teaching. But how much do I sacrifice to get there?
Is being away from normalcy one of the things worth sacrificing?
I think not!
In India, pressure and examinations dominate our scholarly lives, and in the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, one finds himself doing more work than he had ever done in his entire life. Working harder towards a goal that somehow one forgets along the way.
What is my ultimate goal in this course? Is it to top even at this level, as I had done when I was studying in the Goa University? Well, the way I have been working, it seems so. But I’m losing what I treasure most in life. And that is my passion to live life. No doubt with some level of discipline.
But where does discipline come from? Does discipline have to be forced? And if forced does it have effect? I don’t think so. I think desire has to come before one can discipline oneself to work towards something. And I need to discipline myself too… I just need to draw in the desire I once had. And leave the marks and the rest to the whims of time.
The learning experience is the most important thing. That’s what I should aim at. And that’s my experiment this week.
