I happened to see this photograph of Rahul Dravid and why he declined the honour given to him, I was really surprised. Only then did I read his statement that his mother was 55 when she got her doctorate and it took seven long years for his wife to get a degree.
This was the thought of a young energetic man who could easily take all the honours conferred upon him.
These are the days of fast food ...... And fast degrees that could match up to a person's changing statuses. But it does make a great difference in one's approach in professional life, especially in the teaching career.
The same danger that fast food does is done by fast conferred degrees. The process of endurance and perseverance to achieve one's degree is totally absent when they are just given as an honour. Obviously, the result is a mind that wants to be in full acceleration to keep up one's ego, simultaneously hushing up one's ignorance of the subject. The end result is that one transform to a heap of complexes.
It is high time that we go back to the dictum of slow and steady wins the race and putting one's hard struggle into learning is essential to perceive the mental capabilities in a student.
