Schools to be ranked, more lives to end

Are we missing on the daily dose of news about students giving their lives away by surrendering in front of pressure to perform better and excel in such a competitive world of education in India. It seems yes and that we want children of India to suffer in traumatic situations. Indian’s need to accept that no scale is perfect to measure one’s ability to perform well in life. Great emphasis is already been given to academic performance which leaves students in a feeling of grief with average performance but with possible excellent skills out side the limits of what any academic system can measure or identify.
There are several unanswered questions to which Indian society must address before more students are sacrificed. Failure is never considered an option and is treated as a shameful situation and average performance is never being appreciated.
Such kind of an attitude makes us the Indians develop a conservative mentality which limits us to a scope or a horizon that is presented to us. Fear of failure has made us insecure and has reduced our risk taking capabilities, hence closing down several doors of opportunities which would definitely help India progress and provide a sense of satisfaction. When alternatives will be given a chance and a consideration, that will be a day when Indians will not give up their lives to a mere failure or to even the fear of facing one.

Webcam not working with Yahoo / Skype

My girlfriend studying in Germany got a Tevion 85572 webcam as her christmas present. After installing it and hours of struggle no one could make it to work with any of the VOIP messengers that also supports video streaming. Quite surprisingly video from the webcam could be seen with the software provided along but nothing could be seen on Yahoo or Skype webcam window.
We had to just leave it like that as we were not willing to waste anymore of our time. Few months later we tried to fix it again and almost after a hour it just clicked my mind and yes that is where the problem was.
It was quite obvious and at the same time also surprising that neither Yahoo messenger nor Skype messenger could detect the problem and suggest a solution.
Here is what the problem was:
- The webcam software started as soon as a webcam was detected.
- Any webcam can only be used with one software at a time.
- The webcam worked as soon as software using it was been closed.
