Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of students missing classes, suggesting that the problem is not an isolated event but a symptom of a deeper, life-wide disease. He argues that focusing only on physical absence is too narrow; one must also consider those who are mentally absent, those present only for marks, or those enrolled out of fear and greed. This pattern of avoidance, or 'bunking life,' extends beyond the classroom to workplaces, gyms, and personal relationships, where boredom and a lack of belonging have become habitual for many.
