Do we have the right pace?

It has been over three years staying and learning in the premium institute of engineering. The experience so far has been enthusiastic and contaminated with moments of joy with a steep learning curve. By learning, i mean grasping, sharing and developing new techniques in all walks of life ranging from engineering to economics to law.

Our alumni has proven to the world that we are better, smarter and faster than many and we have huge responsibilities on our shoulders when we are called the "cream of the nation". We share reviews on national level policy making while having food in the night canteens, talk about new technological know-hows while chatting back in the room. Everyone is busy in some or the other research/term papers. It is this remote place where we (the students) organize the best and the largest symposium of events across nation.

The only question i ask to all of you is 'do we have the right pace?'

Sorry for being too dramatic, but after seeing Pranav Mistry's Sixth Sense Technology, Dr. Stephen Thaler's Imagination Engine, a 12 year old girl's speech in UN on Environment and many more such examples like this, i feel the fastest pace in current world is very much ahead of us.

Are we lacking with the pace? Is there something needed for a change amongst us? Or it is just another big talk we are having here with no solution?

Let us sit for a while away from the speedy (ironical) life of our campus and re-think on this issue.
