Of any value addition?!?

Why r thr subjects like EVS, BC, BSS, FC for commerce graduates????
all r useless to the core...sheer waste of time to even glance through 100 odd pages in all those subjects..
pecisely thts why ppl say only a BCom grad stands nowhere in this competitive world if hes done only this much in his college life....
Pooja dosent like to describe anything by the word "sucks" so i wont use tht ny more..but do tell me if there is a superlative degree to tht word then i'll convince her to prefix it in regard with all the mentioned subjects....
Guru is greater than God...but the once who teach us currenty do u really consider them so?..... I got ur answers friends....thts the reason why we tend to curse the subject more tht ever....
There is nothin worth learnin, nothin practical, nothin to add value into us in these subjects but still why is the curriculum havin them on board?????
u know just today did a friend of mine mention how awesome it would be to sudy a combination of subjects like Accounts, Psychology, n he did mention Physics but i hate tht subject so i would instead prefer Economics in place of tht.....
thrs specialization in every field more than tht we hav companies caterin to specific demands of the consumers in the similar way why doesnt the education system permit the aspirant to choose the subjects as per his combination n permutation????????? what do u feel guys? wouldnt tht be g8t??? we'll get to hav a glance in to a real depth of education n do wat we actually want to n not just be forced to take up subjects out of compulsion.....

nyways i hav to be awake for some 3 more odd hrs or may be the whole nite today to open my books for a suject named BC whos exam awaits for me tommorow mornin at 8 Am...
n btw its all ready 11:43 pm now...

Adios

"Soona Ghya Aani Soonya Sarkha Waga"

A "Golden" tradition of dassera........
On this day of Vijayadashmi (10th day of Dassera) the most distinct tradition is of exchanging the leaves of Apte Tree (aptyachi pane) with all elders n young ones n seek their blessings for future endevours to reach successful heights.
Aptyachi pane are considered to be gold coins or rather gold leaves. There's a beautiful history behind this tradition. Kautsa,a young brahmin, and a disciple of Rishi Varatantu he insisted that his guru accepted guru dakshina. Finally, Varatantu asked for a dakshina of 14 crore gold coins, one crore for each of the sciences he had taught. Kausta approached king Raghu,an ancestor of Ram, famous for his generosity. However, Raghu did not have gold coins to give as he had just given it to all Brahmins after performing the Vishvajit sactrifice. Raghu then asked Indra for the gold coins, who in turn ordered Kuber, the god of wealth, to rain gold coins on the Apte trees in Raghu's kingdom, Ayodhya. Kautsa gave those gold coins to Varatantu and distributed the rest to the people of Ayodhya. This happened on the Dassera day and even today we follow the tradition of looting the Apte tree and exchange the leaves among each other as sona.
And that is why while giving the leaves we say "Soona Ghya Aani Soonya Sarkha Waga" (take the gold and be like gold.)
There are so many traditions attached to this festival which lasts for good long 10 days that one can sit and compile a book on it and i would love to do so. It is the best example of exhibiting the diversity on Indian culture as the fesival is celebrated in a variety of manner all through the country.
Every single tradition teaches us a lesson, inculcates in us the values of our own rich Indian culture.
Be proud of your Indianess.
