  4. I think girls have to prove continuously as to why they should not be stopped from pursuing further education. It all boils down to the reason of survival. Boys on the other hand, don't have anything to prove to survive.

  11. @Sumera: No jealousy here, & it doesnt bother me if a girl is topping the class or a boy. But you can be quite sure that girls are LESS CREATIVE and have poor IMPROVISATION than boys when application of knowledge is required, it seconds my claim about cramming and rote learning

  12. @Princess Sadi: Janab, those who take maximum marks in Pakistani studies are the one who end up earning a lot lesser than the average student! Earning is not related to securing maximum marks in any manner
