Some cliches never die, one of them is the *Science is for the smart ones and Commerce is for the dumb ones* theory. Lately I've been hearing a lot of jokes being cracked on the commerce students and this thought suddenly struck me.
Firstly, content wise both of them are equally tough, tedious, senseless and super boring. Yet, science becomes more taxing when students decide to screw their lives by joining coaching classes. Coaching classes that mercilessly poison people's minds against each other; simulate friends into deadly competitors who ought to be defeated… Barring that, I very strongly feel that those who take commerce are the ones with real guts. Especially in an engineer loving and favouring country like ours where every uncle and every aunty has a special corner for engineers, students who take commerce are the ones who are brave. Brave enough to not do what everyone does, because it is apparently the most *safe option*.
This post is meant and targeted at those who take up a particular stream not out of interest but out of stupidity. Indeed, it's the student's prerogative to take up what he desires… But yet, every one, literally everyone; values a bespectacled geeky engineer more than anyone else.
As a person who is swirling and stuck in this tornado of science, I cannot supress my deepest admiration for the smart bunch of commerce students who sit in the class next to mine. Trust me, most of them are way more braver and smarter than any science student, because they dare to challenge the stereotype that has infected our citizen's minds and also because they haven't commited the gravest mistake of taking science.
Salute to all the commerce and humanities students.
Sincerely,
A not so smart one.
Glad that u realized it at least now...
