What is a crash course and for whom

Come entrance examination time and town walls get painted with posters like Crash Course, Quick Course, Revision Course, Two Month Crash Course, 3 Month Crash Course, 10 Day Crash Course, 3 Day Crash Course blah blah blah....
This is the time when all students are serious about their future. Even those who never attended full lectures in class start thinking big, bigger and much bigger. Parents want to send you in top college of the city.
If I keep aside discrepancies in entrance examinations commonly these exams are considered as fair exams where one do not get chance to cheating and selections are based on score and rank.
Fear sales, crash courses are administered during exam time and compartively cheaper than a full time course. Therefore, its good time of the year for coaching institutes to make some good money in less time for small efforts. Coaching institutes are not wrong, it’s a business to them, student is a product.
So if there is a crash course is on offer near you let’s understand Crash Course is for whom
Its for students
  • looking for quick revision
  • to clear some doubts
  • to take some mock test under examination conditions
  • to check last minute preparation
  • to gather some additional knowledge which may be useful during exam day
Anyone can attend a crash course but primarily its for those who are already prepared. Also those students can join who are in the mid of school year studies for knowledge about entrance examinations.

This article is written keeping in view Indian K 12 students. Opinions are personal.

How students can get hygienic meal

Many students starts living away from parents as soon they get enrolled for a college course or earlier. In fact at some point of time in life many lives away. Getting food is a challenge. No matter how much you spend, at 90% occasions you get two things; one, something to fill your stomach and two, free germs. Food is integral part of life and hygiene makes 50% of your meal. This is not a food blog but yes I want to keep my readers healthy. After eating street food, junk food, healthy food, fast food, premium food blah blah blah and after suffering many times over a year I observed couple things about restaurant food / take away kitchen. I suppose many of us know cooking but don't do it and often counts on food parcel or eat out. So here are some suggestions if you are hungry
1. Find restaurants in your area.
2. Check rate card.
3. Try different food joints till you find couple of them those interests your taste buds and tummy both.
4. When you visit a food joint or restaurant observe if they maintain hygiene. Of course you can't see their kitchen if its a restaurant but observe service, sitting area, attitude etc.
Once I visited a food joint and felt like I am sitting over garbage despite its mentioned as one of the good meal supplier in a top food delivery app.
5. If you take food parcel, pick yourself or order directly to restaurant. Keep online food delivery app as your last choice. Often restaurant pack less quantity for higher price when you order online.
6. Do not buy on credit, they will serve you third grade meal. Sometime restaurant manager trick you and give meal willingly on credit, show extra care for you saying you are regular customer. Don't get tricked. When you have a currency of 500 and bill is 100 bucks only, if you are regular normally cashier trick you saying pay later. This is trick to bring you back.
Every business need repeat customer but what I truly hate is when consumer is tricked or cheated.
7. A food deliver app should be your last choice. I observed prices of many restaurants and there is a huge gap in pricing when you visit and buy versus order food online.
8. Do not get tricked in the name of offers and discounts. Those offers are given out to make a habit of order online in you. That's a dirty trick. Nothing comes for half the price so can come your food?
9. Food parcel comes in plastic bags. I hope those contain enough germs. The dirtiest invention of century is plastic packaging.
10. Third grade raw material is used in preparing meal at food joints and restaurants and even top restaurants.
I have no personal enmity with people in food business but this happens largely across India. Health is the biggest luxury you have at disposal. Food makes life, what you eat that you become.Hygiene is first thing when feeding your stomach. Chose your meal wisely.

Ask any food delivery guy in how many day he sanitize his parcel career bag?

Idiots like me buy food from outside then write here. Good people cook their meal. Home cooking is not cheap but at home hygiene comes for little efforts and time.

Busy schedules, day long lectures, classrooms leave almost no time for activity like cooking but watch before you eat. If you stay in a hostel and joined mess ask for good hygienic meal. Do not accept junk or just anything. Hostel mess and canteen are notorious for serving waste meal. In case of problems DO NOT FIGHT give written complaint to those responsible for hostel administration.
