Let's Bunk.............Why Not?

If anybody ask me what is the most interesting chapter of your college life? I will certainly and happily say bunking. And I believe the answer will be same for 90% of college buddies. We always like to be out of bookish burden. Being with friends, movie, hiking and all these masti has become the part of college students in most cities in Nepal. Go for a date with a girlfriend. If don’t have one, hike with friends. It is very interesting to catch premier show of the latest movie in town. Whenever, it becomes difficult to deceive a guard then blowout canteen.

Everybody has a dream to get admission in big, reputed college. And from the next day they got admitted the dream starts to wrack up and in few weeks the sweet dream becomes a nightmare. When we get admission in so called good colleges we get torture as granted as if it is a buy one gets one free scheme. Boring lecture, long established syllabus, harsh discipline and theatrical environment are sufficient to make our college life awful. Students hardly like to attend classes and if they do so then irritating lecture from some giddy instructor, assignment, test, practices and other burden will never help us bounce back to classes. So, we want to make sure we don't keep ourselves cooped up all day, staying up late studying and not having fun.

Now it’s time to say why we are impelled to bunk classes? First of all, why not talk about our university and syllabus. Oh! God what kooky university? Won’t have a VC for months, if got one will be a part of filthy politics. Then what to hope from such a poor planner? We are taught the syllabus that was made decades ago. I heard that it was revised last when my dad was a university student. Isn’t it a joke? Yes, see friends how we are made a part of cheap joke. Not only university but also colleges contribute us a lot for our outing plans. Established by an entrepreneur for the motive of earning and promoted by diseased marketing policy, our colleges are no more than a honey pie for the business man. The infrastructures that are shown only in the pamphlets and the banners and never seen by the students in their entire college tenure are of no use. Rarely found basketball court and TT board on principal’s room won’t hold us in the college for 6 hrs so think guys why no bunking?

I here want to draw the attention of our planner. What is the use of lectures that are hardly attended by students? Are you sure that this syllabus can carry on with Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge? Can these colleges give the good future to the nation? Please think genuinely for the sake of your children, for the sake of our future and for the change we are talking about.
