<p>u know this is a very common scenario in india.mugging up stuff and then writing entirely bookish language in the exams and not actually applying your mind even to the slightest.but even i have come across toppers who are just as dumb as a cucumber.thankfully you are goin to the states.i guess the state of affairs of the education system would not be so grim there.its just the indian middle class mentality which you cannot overcome which tells u to be a donkey,get good marks and evn choose your career acc to prospective salaries!!!nd not on the basis of aptitude</p>
