budgeted exams
Two things captured the limelight in delhi and kept the delhities on there toes. The General Budget for the year 2007-08 and the Board Exam fever. While the former was a disappointment in the financial corridors of most of the industries, the second was a sleep stealer for kids and there parents in there board exams.
Budget : for me the only thing good (which can be understood by my limited knowledge) is the 10k hike in the Standard deduction slab which means I will be saving 3k in taxes. Apart from that, there isn't much to cheer about in the budget. It has been not a popular budget with finance minister ending the tax holidays for IT and ITeS companies. Though there has been a good signal for Hotel owners. A tax holiday has been started for hoteliers to increase the public contribution in Hotels. This has been done keeping in mind the 2010 commonwealth games which will be seeing a major shortage in the availability of hotels and rooms. Another good thing in the budget was that there hass been some consideration for senior citizens and new scheme called reverse mortgage will be institutioanlized by the banks. Though the finer details were not given by the FM but broadly speaking this has been a good step to assist people who do not have any other source of income for survival.
Board Exams : THese two words still play a havoc on me. I start making mistkes while typing . But again this is part of life. There is no escape. Kids have to face it and they should actually to get the feel of the outside world. The Board provide a platform for the kids from different school to stand on a common platform. It is an oppurtunity to get the feel of the competition that they will be witnessing for the rest of there lives. But pressuring them to perform better or judging them by just there board exams score is not fair. What our school system teaches is hardly used in real life. How often do we sit and solve conical section problems in office or how often do we use the newton's law to write a piece code. Never. But we still tell them to study. Some points of exception are subjects like Biology where we come to know more about our bodies, accounts where we learn how to judge a company's performance or languages which are essential for all kind of activities. But again how we teach them defines what they will learn from it. If we teach the language just as a subject, they will by heart it and then forget it. But if the same subject is taught in relation to the industry so that the students can correlate it with them or there parents it will be easier for them to comprehend. Neways lot hs been said by more learned people before me and there is no point on putting it here. What lies now is for Board exams
1. Just be your selves. Imagine you are taking your school annual exams sitting somewhere else. That is it.
2. Relax 5 mins before the exam. I know some will like to see through some of the pages before entering the exam hall but that is primarily because you are excited. Try to calm your self down. Think of a comic scene that happened in your class and laugh your way out.
3. Have faith in you as your teachers,your parents and your God has the same in you. They trust in your capabilities and competencies.
4. Do not think how others are doing there exams. The need of the hour is to answer the questions to the best of your knowledge and concentrate on that. How they did you will come to know in sometime.
All the best for the exams and for our FM : "Get well soon Mamu"
