Join Blogbharti facebook group.People often ask me that why a person of my intelligence, my caliber would want to waste his life by taking a course such as Philosophy or Sociology or Political Science. I don’t blame them. They are groomed in an environment where they are taught that making a decent living by licking someone else’s boots is the highest honor they can achieve in life. I answer them that my choice is not wasting my life. I say its my single moment of madness. I have only one life and I wouldn’t want to waste it. The reason and the whole point of taking a course such as Philosophy, Sociology or Political Science is because it teaches you how to think boldly. It helps you to understand people in a better way and take your thinking to a level where no one has been ever before. And I think that is something which is practical.
