bacha party

It always feels nice to teach young kids. And the younger they are the better is the teaching experience. I have tried the under grad BMS kids as well as the post grad kids. Without the doubt the under grads are more receptive and more willing to learn. Most of the post grads are selfish, pain, know alls and egoistic. I guess the fact that they have got into a B school, means that they have suddenly become smarter, well read and so kewl. What more could be wrong? I have spoken in the past about intellectual arrogance that comes from reading but this is intellectual arrogance that comes from not reading. One fresh grad from the ‘best’ B school was having a strong point of view. While making him understand I was trying to quote a study by a seminal book /author. His response was to dismissively say that he does read any ‘such’ books. Toh bloody hell – MBA mein seekha kya? Kiya kya? And then have a bloody hell of an attitude and an even greater strength of opinion. And then show no respect or wither the reader or the author…. I don’t say that the book is everything. Its after all an opinion, but it is a validated opinion. It is something that someone has written form experience. It is SOMETHING! Aree mere bhai – dismiss the opinion of some book, only if you have read another, or have experience to the contrary or some evidence – not plain ass opinion.
Is liye I always want to teach younger kids. There is a lot of love that give you. They take a lot of liberties with you but that’s only once they accept you. And once you are a part of them then who the fcuk cares how you are treated by your types. I love them!
The other one thing I am accused of is being surrounded by pretty young things. Now its obviously my fault that my students are PYT’s. I treat males and female students alike. Some of my closest students would be boys and girls – equally. Sunny and other students will testify but the PYT’s are noticed by the boys and the cute guys are noticed by the gals. Yes you bozo guys – some chicks do notice you but they are just a little shy to talk about it. So as you realize it’s Even Stevens. The gals in any case these days are quick to notice a lech professor. A bastard of a prof will not get any acceptance by the girls. I realize that as many times they talk to me about their despo profs. I feel nice just not be in the same bracket.
Also the relationship that I share with the guys will be so different form the girl students. The topics of conversation are so different. The wavelengths are different and yet at the same time you can draw a common line on the basics of their issues. Opposites Do Reconcile.
