History

                Sometimes I begin to wonder and ask myself whether studying history makes any sense or whether it really helps me not to commit the same mistakes again. After having gone through school and college days I feel that history makes a difference, but the history I’m talking about is that of my own experiences. This helps me in the sense that us very personal to me because now I know from experience what works and what doesn’t.

                While I don’t completely reject theoretical history, I’m somewhat against history which has to be learnt so as to fill the answer paper during an exam. It is rightly said that education is about the filling of the mind but bringing. In the same way history is also not merely a subject to be studied, but something very dear to us which helps us every day.
