What do they mean now?
Few incidents in the recent past have made me wonder about the meaning of our activities in life.
Some of my class-mates used to copy in most exams in college. One of them has recently quit his job and is entering the enterpreneurial world (Since there are quite a few who have done this, I hope the name of this particular person would stay anonymous). I just wonder how the copying in college exams has helped him. Even if we accept that some companies do shortlist candidates based on marks, enterpreneurship definitely doesn't count marks for anything. So, what is the net result of the unethical practices adopted during exams? I believe it is nothing. Or maybe they have a negative impact in that the person's class-mates who could currently be in influential positions might not be able to place trust on the person.
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were locked in heavy tension last year because of the RajKumar kidnapping issue. Same time this year, neither Veerappan nor RajKumar exist. Just the people who suffered the tension because of them exist. Would "Irony" be a better word for the situation?

not justifying the act, but students copy cos their priorities are different at that age. getting as much marks as possible by whatever means is the single most important thing in life. i wudnt judge someone based on what he was 10 years ago, certainly not if he was not good then...things change, people change...

@Sankar
No one is perfect (that definitely includes me). But that doesn't mean that we should move towards imperfection. Life ain't a digital signal where we are either a 1 or a 0. I've had my 0s and am only trying to move closer to 1. I hope you got that :-)
I wouldn't delete the comment Sankar. Criticism is welcome.
