Intelligence over Smartness?? naaaah!

Ok. Now the doubt. Is smartness and intelligence the same or rather is an intelligent person always smart? Well, the answer is no. After observing quite a few people, I admit that smart people need not be all that intelligent but the intelligent may not be smart at all.
Confused? There are a few interesting species who are the centre around all this fuss that I'm making. I used to go to this coaching class for IIT-JEE (the most prestigious and yet the most hyped institue of India. No offence but they try to teach things which no-one would use in their lives such as calculating the degrees of umbrella when its raining and wind is blowing at some angle theta. Thats ridiculous enough!). There were 2 blokes whom I witnessed carefully. Both of them are extremely intelligent. Getting all the answers spot on. Solving math n physics sums in a giffy. But these people lacked the way of the technique of living amongst friends and in social circles. They studied on their birthdays, had trouble hiring rickshaws and did things like wearing pants on their chest. Urgh!
They would not mix up easily and would be the package and a matter of laughter. They lost proper eating habits and had no genuine attraction towards girls and things like that which are "normal" for rest of us. They are not smart but the losers of the world.
Looking at them, I would rather sacrifice a bit of an intelligence but never live a life of a moron who isn't able to tie his shoe-lace just because he is busy thinking about a sum.

P.S. I do not appologise to anyone who is offended by this article as this is the fact.
