one test and hell of an essay....

today was the my first attempt at xat...though i believe that i fared pretty good, but still not any confident about getting a good score there. last nite i just flipped through a couple of pages and this morning i just went out with blank mind and the little bit of knowledge assimilated during the cat preparation.nonetheless i felt a little confident while giving the exam. may be because i didnt carry any expectation burden out there into the exam hall. i also found the essay thing a bit amusing since i was not prepared for that in the first place not that i was prepared for the exam part. the topic of essay was "consequences of gender imbalance- third world war". seeing this topic first i couldnot help but laugh. well gender imbalance as a topic is not very uncommon but who would have thought of such dire consequences resulting from it like a third world war or something. but since i didnt have a choice i had to make up about 200 words to write on this topic. i thought of a lot of things but couldnot fix my mind on anything and since there was only 20 min for it, so i didnt wait any longer and started scribbling whatever came to my mind. to say the least i touched on the emotional part of the topic i.e. the consequences which will result out of skewed sex ratio or with the decrease in the female gender in the world. and i tried to quote the instances of china and india, the new developing nations, where this kind of trend is most prominent. the preference for boy child is very evident in these countries due to ,we may see, many different factors. like lets say in financial terms limited return on investment or being considered as the dowry burden or who-will-carry-the-family-name-ahead issue etc. so due to all this we see a widespread dislike for girl child and which ultimately skews up the whole sex ratio in many parts of the country. now this kinda trend is not limited to these parts of world but present everywhere though on a low level and due to which it generally goes unnoticed. the point i believe is that with the decrease in girls in the world the boys will go astray. compassion, love which are the paragons of motherhood will be lost from the earth and which will result in endless misery and the society will become more brutal. there will be more fights for girls. now this will definitely increase the animal tendencies in the man with no force to rein them. not to mention the biological imbalances that will arise from the decrease in the female forms on earth. well in the end all these factors will contribute to more fights and more wars. and sooner or later we will see some country attacking another country with the intention, of capturing girls and increasing the fertility of their own country. all this will eventually lead to a big war being fought on the surface of earth and which will definitely wipe out every forms of life on earth- and all this will be for one thing-woman. now i dont know how rational are my arguments nor do i have any basis for them, but i tried to paint a very probable picture of what might happen when things go wrong like this. nevertheless i totally enjoyed the experience of writing on topic so abstruse like this and with this i got a hang of how to rekindle my creativity while thinking for topics like this. thats all for now...gotta go office tomorrow...goodbye
