The Breakaway Month, a period of 30 days that can literally transform lives of millions of Indians from an ordinary hard working high school student to an Undergraduate at a prestigious college or an extremely talented awe inspiring human looking for average colleges all over.
It is the month that can some how make or break a child's career. With the ever so increasing pressure of cracking the much acclaimed entrance exams along with the expectation to score high in the High school exams can make the best go insane with desperation.
It is the same time when almost every school student goes into a bewildered sense of joy owing to the summer holidays and the pupils in the class 12th are given the so called magic mantra of study and excel now the future will be easy by their parents. The magic mantra that fails to exist even for an iota of time given the unprecedented tough nature of undergraduate courses all over the country. The IIT's , NIT's , AIIMS and all other prestigious colleges that the whole nation wants to have a pie off become a part of the folklore that are enhanced and spoken about like bedtime stories to these children.

The want to achieve more and dream less takes a hell lot of toll on an average child's brain and he is stacked up against all the odds the country's education system has to offer and at the end of it all some lucky and some amazingly intelligent hard working students get through into the awesome top notch colleges in the country and the rest are left to fend for their own selves.Its an obvious thing that there is another stream of people who do make up with admissions owing to their lack of talent but the topic has been untouched for now.
Regardless of the disturbing differences in the education being offered by the different graded colleges in the country , its an alarming fact that 10 years after passing out of colleges that are almost non comparable two people can have almost the same remuneration. This not only offers a stark difference in the attitude of the entire population towards a child's career at the end of his school education also it gives a far greater insight into the amazing opportunities the Whole Market gives to the people who dream of making it big irrespective of where they are coming from.
The whole theory of a child deciding to do what his/her aptitude is somehow stands negated at the tender age of 18 , as according to the general perspective life's greatest decisions are taken at this time. Instead the aptitude does keep on changing with the change in the practicality towards life and effects the decisions made earlier by a great deal.
At the end of it , it some how does not matter where and how the child does the studies from , instead what he/ she does with life and the people involved in it that makes the actual outcome of the Life worthy in our own eyes.
