Grades don't grade us

May be this is an after-effect of the announcement of results,may be not.Why is it that marks are made as mouthpieces of one's knowledge? In today's university exams (a select few Indian universities to be precise- or as far as I know) where there is no scope for creativity,individuality,logic and reasoning- why should one even bother?yeah,there's this life-depending-on-marks factor that determines one's placement and higher studies options.yet,the main attribute to this is the rigged up education system (I detest saying this 'cos I don't like generalizing things,but yeah here I am forced to say the 'Indian education system').All I can reinforce is "People,don't let your grades put where you are".The grades are just a manifestation of what we do during a 3-hour-period of our lives.There may be plenty of moments that we'd like to cherish forever and the grades and exams might be a dim thing of the past that made us learn something,somewhere,somehow...
