After years of having forgotten what originally inspired Managing Director of the renowned medical coaching institute Aakash, Dr. J.C. Chaudhary allegedly had a recent epiphany at his breakfast table which reminded him of the exact thought that inspired him to name this now-burgeoning institute. Alas, it was not to ‘turn potential doctors to frustrated B.Sc. Biology Graduates’ but to turn potentially bad-at-science students to gather confidence in themselves and learn rocket-science.
This has come as an unforeseen revelation both to the institute faculty as well as the NASA headquarters at Washington D.C., who remained unavailable for comment, displaying acute symptoms of shock and psychosis, as described the presiding psychiatrists at the prestigious institute.
Parents from our motherland, however are ecstatic at the immense number of opportunities it will bring to their children’s already over-poured plates of forced options, none of which they were good at or ever wished to do.
“This is just another brick in the wall”, says Meenakshi Nayyar, an ambitious 42 year old mother of two, innocently misinterpreting the meaning and intention behind the famous Beetles song ever so enthusiastically, as is the duty of most middle-class Indian parents when it comes to understanding anything remotely connected to their children’s interests.
Pragati Sharma, whose 18 year old daughter, ‘Aparajita’, joined us in a joint heart-to-heart interview where she was asked about what got her so convinced of the fact that becoming an Astronaut was her daughter’s real object in life and in kind but no unsure terms, she told us:
“Each time we asked her to take up science, math or become a doctor, she told us she couldn’t take it anymore and would simply ‘take off’ some day, now I finally understand what she meant and what her heart really wanted all along. She was shy, the shy child she always has been, so she stopped short of telling us where it is that she wanted to take off to, but of course, now we can finish her sentence for her, like we have always done as good, well-meaning parents. So we knew: it was in a spaceship, working as an astronaut with the prestigious NASA, and this was something far more lucrative and ambitious than we could ever think of dreaming of her behalf, such a pity we didn’t see it before. Sadly, like the Almighty himself, sometimes parents too can falter in catching the subtle aspirations and dreams of their darling children.” she said with looks of genuine regret and remorse in her tearful eyes, while a nonchalant Aparjita sat next to her noticeably unaffected, having sketched a brilliant pen and ink impression of The Mona Lisa on an anatomy diagram page of her biology practical file during the entire course of the interview, which everybody, including us, chose to look away from, for the sake of convenience.
“Forgive the new generation’s impoliteness, they are like that, you know, us parents are to blame for granting leverage and spoiling them, he he”, remarked the concerned mother nervously, signing off.
As yet another exciting career prospect awaits in line to add to our your generation’s to-coach-and-do agenda, the esteemed institution in question did not fail to hold a timely press-conference highlighting its competence, infrastructure and adequacy in meeting the standards of education and physical fitness complying to NASA guidelines for astronaut studies and training. Although they maintained excellent calm and composure when asked if the ironical ‘crash course’ title was appropriate for a preparatory course to go to NASA.
