This is one of the first poems I wrote during lockdown; it was meant to be my take on the Indian Education System. At that time, I was just trying to rhyme everything, so while this might not be the best-written poem, look out for those sweet rhyming syllables!
Physics, with Force, Motion and Astronomy
Biology, with Botany, Well-Being and Anatomy
Chemistry, with the Proton, Electron and Neutron
All three sciences thrived in Unison
But after 74 years they went hand-in-hand,
Labs and Practicals remain a demand!
The Bolds, italics, and calligraphy of curvature
The Prose, Poems, and Plays of Literature
The verbs, tenses, and conjunctions of Grammar
The British and Italian accents of Glamour
While all these things, we have managed to foster
English remains a field that we have yet to master.
Geography with its Landforms, countries, and climate
History with its Rulers, Revolts, and evolution from the primates
Civics with the governments, law, and equality for the masses
Economics with labor, capital, profits, and losses
All the above, in 74 years, we had strongly embraced
Lucky we are, for the social sciences, we have aced.
The lines, angles, and constructions of geometry
The sines, cosines, and tangents of trigonometry
The signs, powers, and numbers of arithmetic
And formulas that resemble a magic trick
When it comes to math, India is elite
So far ahead, that no one could beat.
But yet, everything we learn isn't quite pragmatic;
Not often do we have a chance to become athletic,
Arts and sports are often left in the Dark;
Forgotten clubs, which would make happiness spark.
Education in India is not the perfect tale,
There are pieces in the shadows yet to prevail.
Literacy rates and numbers, we should stop running behind;
And focus more on making education refined.
As a Wiseman once said, "Quality over Quantity,
Pay attention to the need for more variety.
With all these changes, in my eyes;
India shall become an educational paradise.
