Nothing is interesting here. Kanpur I love you, Please change.

Among few cafes and parks, literally everything over here is just boring and dull, atleast Lucknow has alot of spots to visit, it kinda baffles me that a city like kanpur which was so rich in economy, politics (kanpur had the most prominent leftist parties), famous celebs, 2-4 cafes, areas ke alawa not very much is interesting. Although people here are way more interesting than Lucknow at all. So many people I have met here and they are somewhat part of the history of this city. I love you kanpur, please, you're the best city you could've been, like oxford or Manchester of the West.

Took Inspiral (methylphenidate) for the first time today.

I took it at around 11 am, are only one parantha after which I went outside to school for some work. Within 30 mins, I had extreme anxiety and worry about Inspiral because it was 10 and 5 wasn't available, but dude, but anxiety instantly shut off, my restlessness drove off, I was calmer but couldn't feel the hit until an hour later, my hours literally widened, I was so ready for hyperfocus, I didn't look at anything in the way I used to. My mind went into blank state, no emotions and no thinking just a robot ready to do anything, I was thinking in my mind what tasks I need to do, I had weird urge to do all tasks, I stared at myself in the mirror for 30 mins, read 30 pages of book, I tried to resist myself to read the book but i couldnt bring myself to put my attention away, showered and did my House chores which I have never done in my life, I had constant urge to study so bad, I couldn't because electricity went off. It started to wear off pretty quickly around 2:30 and I felt fatigued and sleepiness, my pulse was high but bp was okay, I am so happy. I didn't feel any side effects other than thirsty, I wasn't feeling hungry but wasn't also didn't felt like to eat. I felt so calm.

Wake Up India: This is how the school system is killing you. And you need to wake up right now before it's too late.

We are watching an entire generation of students walk around like ghosts, completely burnt out, exhausted, and mentally drained. As a society, we have normalized this suffering as "discipline" or "hard work." This is a direct wake-up call because our educational institutions have stopped being places of learning and have instead turned into rigid, corporate compliance factories. We need to confront this crisis immediately before the systemic pressure permanently breaks the mental health and potential of every young mind in this country.

Look at Kota, the literal epicenter of this academic meat-grinder, where student suicides have become an annual statistic rather than a national emergency. Every single year, dozens of young, brilliant kids end their lives in those cramped coaching rooms because they cannot cope with the crushing, unbearable pressure of constant testing and institutional isolation. When a student chooses death over an entrance exam, the system is no longer failing, it is actively killing. We have built an environment so hostile and unyielding that teenagers genuinely believe their entire human worth is tied to a test score, and when they fall behind, they feel they have no way out. BBC News Investigative Report on Kota's Regulations

The Rote-Learning Extortion

The entire evaluation structure is a total scam that does not measure intelligence; it measures your capacity to act as a mindless tape recorder. High-stakes exams completely ignore critical thinking, logic, or actual capability, brutally rewarding students who can regurgitate textbooks verbatim while leaving absolutely zero room for creative or analytical minds. The Faulty System Of Indian Education

The Neurodivergent Death Trap

The system is an absolute psychological prison for anyone with a brain that works differently, like those with ADHD. It forces students into long hours of rigid sitting and demands mountains of useless manual labor, completely labeling executive dysfunction as an act of rebellion and destroying a student’s self-esteem over arbitrary compliance.

The 14-Hour Institutional Slavery

Because mainstream schools completely fail to teach real-world application, they have forced the rise of a toxic, multi-billion dollar coaching industry. Teenagers are brutally trapped in a double-shift nightmare, serving hours at school just for bureaucratic attendance and then running to coaching centers until midnight, entirely erasing sleep, health, and childhood.

The Weaponization of Abuse and Fear

Schools continuously rely on physical violence, sticks, public shaming, and deeply humiliating punishments to break a student's spirit. They use aggressive fear tactics and hyper-regressive body policing over clothing and uniforms to enforce absolute submission, treating normal human mistakes like a missing notebook as a punishable crime.

The Commercial Captive Racket

Private school managements and coaching chains operate as ruthless, high-profit corporations disguised as educational trusts. They aggressively hold a student’s academic future and mental peace hostage, threatening internal grades or withholding exam cards, simply to extort escalating fees and bleed parents dry.

The Hindu's Delhi Private School Admit Card Crisis

Delhi Parents Protest 'Unapproved' Fee Hikes, Allege Coercion by Private Schools

This is the moment where we have to draw the line and refuse to accept this trauma any longer. We cannot keep quiet while schools use fear, violence, and financial extortion to control our lives and crush our unique strengths. If you have been made to feel worthless, lazy, or broken by a teacher or an institution just because your brain operates differently, understand that the defect is in the system, not in you. It is time for students, parents, and citizens to collectively stand up, call out these abusive practices, and demand a human-centric education that respects our mental peace, our dignity, and our right to think freely. Raise your voice, support each other, and let's dismantle this machine together.

Even as you read this, the crisis has reached a boiling point at Jantar Mantar. Prominent reformer Sonam Wangchuk is on his 17th day of an indefinite hunger strike, losing over 8 kg with plummeting blood sugar, alongside student activists who are literally being hospitalized after days of fasting. They are demanding the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan following the massive NEET-UG paper leaks that shattered two million student futures. Yet, despite students literally risking their lives on the pavement, the Ministry has responded with absolute, stone-cold indifference, dismissing this desperate cry for reform as "disruptive."

this was all I could do as a research I know this is still not enough but this is all I can do Gather your guys attention this is something that is actually huge because this focuses on your career please.

PLEASE WAKE UP INDIA

Review of Dune by Frank Herbert

I have finally finished Dune, the first book, and I have a lot of opinions about it.

To be honest, I loved the book. I didn't watch both movies, but I already had an idea of what they were about. I still wanted to read the original novel because I wanted to know what Frank Herbert was actually talking about, and because I love science fiction.

There are parts of the novel that left me satisfied and parts that left me unsatisfied.

I loved the way everything happened and the setting of the story. But the pacing is something that can be very difficult to understand. I feel like Frank Herbert does not care about the pacing of his story. He wants to tell the story he wants to tell, and he tells it that way.

For more than the first 300 pages, you slowly get into the world and understand what is happening. Then, all of a sudden, in the next hundred pages, everything happens like a roller coaster. There are so many things happening at once that it becomes difficult to keep up.

One thing I really wanted to see was Paul manipulating the Fremen himself. I know the Bene Gesserit had already planted the prophecies, but I wanted to see Paul actually using them, winning over the Fremen himself, and becoming their leader step by step. That is probably the part that left me the most unsatisfied.

I also wanted to see more of Baron Harkonnen and Feyd-Rautha and learn more about their backgrounds. Even though I wanted more from them, I was still satisfied with what I got.

I wanted to see more of Paul Atreides as well. In the first part of the novel, it is not really all about Paul because there are so many other things happening. Duke Leto is a really tragic character, and his death genuinely hit me. The moment that stayed with me the most was when he realized that Paul and Lady Jessica would be all right, and that everything was now in their hands. Then he bit the poison tooth and released the poison into the air. It was a heartbreaking end for such an honorable character.

I also felt bad for Thufir Hawat. The way he sacrificed himself in the end was genuinely tragic. Duncan Idaho's sacrifice and Gurney Halleck's loyalty also stayed with me throughout the novel.

I loved how the story ended. Even though the pacing was difficult, everything in the end was magic. The last hundred pages were incredible. Paul riding the sandworm, the way he talks about keeping Stilgar as his commander instead of killing him, and then finally winning over the whole Fremen was something I absolutely loved.

While reading, I slowly started to understand how Frank Herbert writes. He writes what he wants to write, and he does not care if it is exactly what the reader expects. You are not always going to get what you want, and I think that is what makes his writing different.

When I started the novel, I expected detailed fights, more battle scenes, and more of Paul's manipulation of the Fremen. Instead, everything moves on by itself. By the end, I understood that this is simply how Frank Herbert tells his stories.

My reading experience was interesting as well. I finished the first half of the novel in about two months. Then I became completely engrossed. I finished the second half in just three days because I could not stop reading.

Overall, Dune is a masterpiece. I rate it 5 out of 5. It is one of those books that feels completely unique, and I do not think another book like it will ever be created again.
