Rahul Pandey He comes from the lower middle class and has spent most of his childhood with the

slum kids, playing cricket and football.

He was a moderately bright student and somehow managed to clear board exams with

1st division.

He had high hopes from the government and believed that the country will at least give

him the opportunity to earn a basic living and feed his family.

He took up Science dreaming to become an engineer someday (the usual craze!).

His performance in 12 was average but in India, unless you are extraordinary, you do not

get a good engineering college.

Rahul Pandey Now Rahul needed to study and his parents were ready to do anything for that. As

anyone would do they applied for an educational loan in banks to get him admitted to a

not-so-renowned local college and like most of the cases the banks refused…

Now Rahul’s parents spend their entire savings and sell some of their assets to provide

for his education. The boy goes to college and gets a graduation degree after four

years…

But as you know a technical degree has little or no value in India which produces more

than a million engineers every year. Rahul sat for few interviews but since the demand

for employees is less than supply, he like many of his peers couldn’t get through. After

four years of aspiring, he was jobless…

NEXT CHANGE

SOCIAL MEDIA

Everybody’s pretending

The Facebook version vs

THE ADVANTAGE OF

SCREENS IS THAT THEY GIVE

US SOMEWHERE TO HIDE

‘We’ve stopped living life at face value. Now we live life at interface value’.

SO WHAT SHOULD WE ALL DO?

• Life is not fair. Get used to it.• The real world won't care as much about your self-esteem as much as

your school does. • Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic
