Are Extra-Curriculars Important? || Acharya Prashant

My batch strength was 350. Out of these 350, I suppose 325 would have never stepped on the tennis court even once in those four years of beating. That’s a choice that you make. The court is there. It’s available. You don’t want to step on the court. That’s a choice that you make. The pool is there. The swimming pool is there. 300 out of 350 students never went to the pool. The dramatics club was there. elocution or debating, extemporary or poetry, composition, recitation, photography club, dance, music, creative writing.

But most students simply didn’t participate. Now whether you participate or not depends on your zeal towards life and if you’re allowing let’s say 2 or 3 hours of the day to be taken away by the social media, right? You go to bed at 11:00 in the night and then you finally fall asleep only at 1:30 a.m. And those 2 and 1/2 hours have been deeply wasted. It’s a huge waste. And then we say we don’t have time for extracurriculars.
