Kapil Sibal's new poem portrays beautiful thoughts...at the least the man is trying to understand young minds. After attending a few functions in which he spoke, observing recent changes and reading this poem, I feel this man will make a difference. Here's the poem
Please rid me of this awful load
preparing for the class X board
My thirsty mind craves to create
Not have exams decide my fate
My wondrous eyes yearn to explore
Much beyond my classroom doors
My dreams should not be cut to size
Because I hate to memorize
If you test me for brains and guile
Don't have to look at percentiles
Marks encourage one upmanship
a free ride on an ego trip
With textbooks I should start to surf
Inquiringly look for new turf
Walk away from the trodden path
And not invite my teacher's wrath
Solving a sum will help find
Real answers to a questioning mind
Create the space for me to run
Let learning be a lot of fun
