Let me start by making this statment-I am not impressed by grade-points,however high you name... Seriously,it dosen't give me the kick.By this,I ofcourse don't mean to say that they are not important,but it is not at all that I hunt for.And this dosen't push to strive more.
What is it then?The answer right now is:I don't know.I do have a vague idea but if someone says me to pinpoint it,I fall back.I have had lots of arguments many-a-time sometimes with my college-friends or other friends from different colleges.They do ask me(with good intentions ofcourse)what do I consider more worthy and that ought to drive someone more than GPA does...I fumble for answers.Those who know me well,know that I have always had views differnt from others and I always made it a point to voice them-even though they may not taken in a nice way-and think I always make up my mind on a thing very soon and draw conclusions.I say only this that good GPAs are always good to see as laptops are, but they are not as solid as desktops-forgive my comparisons!!All I say them is to do something more meaningful.
But what is it?This is the question that has been haunting me and I am unable to find any answer to this.What is that....is it doing projects,learning more things that what they teach us in college...what is it?
I don't know what is it...but there must be something.Even after a year in college I haven't yet found that thing which really attracts me,is lucrative enough.I don't know what I will be doing after college or even what I want to do?
The only thing that I can figure out about that thing is-It is something more meaningful.

Quote of a lifetime...
Be a first rate version of yourself,not a second rate version of someone else.

What a shame...
Just got this article while browsinn through about IITs which was published by JAM Magazine and may be written by a useless person and thankfully in the IITs...I am extremely happy that this person made to the IITs-if making into one is considered a pride-now I thank I didnt made into one.
Just read the story and do come back-

Now that you may have read it...
I first read this and just this irritated me at first and then at second thought I couldn't stop laughing...here it is....
There are predominantly three categories of non-IITians.
WORSHIPPERS
Those under the misconception that "IIT is heaven and IITians are Gods." Perhaps the only sources of solace to the IITians(!?!), the constant eulogising by these people can nevertheless get on one's nerves sometimes.
PERSECUTORS
The "just missed IIT" types who, at every opportunity, try to prove why they or their college is one step above IIT in some respect or the other. Undoubtedly, a species to be ignored, if not avoided.
ATHEISTS
Those who can’t distinguish between IIT and ITI. Their ignorance provides comic relief to many IITians. The most comfortable group to be around with.
First of all as if being a non-IITian(now I even hate writing IIT in capitals-but I dont want to undermine what mark IITs have made)!!! Well put me in the second group....I missed IIT-JEE narrowly... But after entering NIT,Rkl I never had said-leave alone proving-that my insti is better than any IIT...Fools do that-atleast I havent found anyone in my insti doing that. Yes, we do admit that IITs are undoutedly better than any engineering college in India.
In the other pages there in the article I find ppl boasting coz they use short-cuts...LH(Ladies hall), CC(computer center) etc. Dear IITians there is also a world outside IITs and every college does that-got me right?I think you cant...or you dont want to...
Again,I find ppl boast coz they listen to Pink Floyd,consume drugs and they see Pondy...I dont think these are something to be proud of ...But these things happen in other colleges but they dont think this is something to boast of and so dont make it public... As far as listening to Rock music is concerned, ppl from our insti when had gone to IIT,Kgp they found that there were infact less rock-followers than in our college-it was obvious during the rock-night but we dont consider it to be something to boast of... Liking a particular kind of music depends on individual choice and has nothing to do with aptitude.
Lastly, this surprising fact that was mentioned that the quality of IITians is diminishing and this is visible coz the choice of music is shifting from Pink Floyd to hindi film songs-uhmmm,I dont have to comment on that.... And I think the guy who had written that,perhaps,he knows only about Pink Floyd-maybe too much impressed by Five Point Someone!!
Ha!If this is what represents the general attitude of the IITians then I am so lucky not to be one of these dumb-headed fellows...I find better ppl who are more sensible in our insti.And one thing to the editor of JAM,publishing anything about IITs will not see the magazine more-I think you must know that.
