My First Blog Post

-
Finally, after months of procrastination and spending my entire summer vacation thinking about it, today on 31st of July 2017 I decided to write my first blog post. Now that my college starts tomorrow, me writing this post makes total sense. Right!!

Since I'm completely new to blogging and this is my first post, I'd like to tell you a thing or two about myself, dear reader. My name is Anmol Hinge, an ordinary 18-year-old teenager with the dream of someday becoming a published writer.

  

My purpose of starting this blog is to share my views and opinions on issues which I personally come across on a regular basis or which have had an influence on my life or things which I would love to change. Hopefully, you can relate to them too and gain something useful from my posts.

Blogging is a great platform to voice your opinions and convey your message to the world. Blogging is a big stepping stone towards achieving my dream and a great place to work on your writing skills.

This blog is dedicated to all the readers who can relate to my posts and might have encountered the same issues at some point in their lives. 'Impractical Knowledge' is not just any regular blog. On this blog, you'll find educational, inspirational, sarcastic, informative, knowledgeable and all types of posts.

The second post will be about the need to update our education system, so don't forget to be back and share this blog if you gain something useful from it. I'll try posting as much as possible. Sorry, I could not come up with something really out of the box for the first post. Your feedback would be very helpful.

That's all with the post. Keep reading and keep smiling:)

Kamlesh's Story : The 13-year-old Kid Addicted To Drugs

The kid in the photograph above is Kamlesh , a 13-year-old drug addict. But you might probably recognize him as the ' Solution ' or ' Soluchan ' kid as popularized by memes and viral parody videos. Such memes and parody videos are regularly shared on my WhatsApp groups and it bothers me greatly when people post, share and have a laugh while reading these memes and watching these videos without even having the slightest decency or concern to look up the story behind them. Social media and this culture of memifying each and everything are increasingly leading to feelings of insensitivity , hollowness and the loss of empathy where people are ready to post insensitive memes and remix music videos of Kamlesh's interview to get some attention, views, likes, and shares on YouTube and social media.  Kamlesh's Story Kamlesh, now an internet sensation for the wrong reasons, is a 13-year-old drug addicted boy. He ran away from his hometown Bh

India is one of the largest producers of engineers in the world. Yet, more than 70% of engineers are unemployed due to severe competition, and by some estimates only 7-8% of engineering graduates are actually employable.  These are the first two lines of the Wikipedia article;  Engineering education in India . Wikipedia Logo Aspiring Minds , an Indian employability evaluation, and certification company revealed that only 7 percent of engineering graduates in India were suitable for core engineering jobs in its National Employability Report 2016: Engineers  after a study on 1,50,000 engineering students. It also revealed that a whopping 97 percent of the engineering graduates wanted jobs in either software engineering or core engineering. However only 3 percent of them possessed the suitable skills to be employed in software or product market, and only 7 percent could handle core engineering tasks. Aspiring Minds is an Indian evaluation and certification company.

Everything Wrong with Our Education System - 1

Guys, this is my class 12th Physics Board examination paper and these are some of the " very important " 5-mark questions which can supposedly make or break your future (well at least that's what our education system made me believe).   To be very frank with you, I don't know the answer to any of these questions and believe me it’s only been 5 months since I appeared for the exam. I also don’t know why I was taught and made to memorize these things in the first place as none of them make any sense or have any practical use in my real life. I still can’t recall how I managed to score 48/70 in the theory paper because if I had to appear for the paper tomorrow I’d surely flunk the exam. From the above example, you might get the point of me naming this post as ‘ Everything Wrong with Our Education System ’. Me not knowing the answer to any of these questions does not really make any difference in my life and yet these are the questions which decide the k
