Five Points Someone – What not to do at IIT

It is not a book to teach you how to get into IIT or even survive it. In fact it describes how bad things can get if you don’t think straight. It has been in best sellers list since its release in 2004. It is a must read for everyone. With lucid and clear account of a young wordsmith who succeeded in making this book a must read for fun of it.
It is story of three friends Hari, Alok and Ryan who have just got admission to India’s most reputed institution IIT Delhi. On there first day they are ragged by there seniors. Ryan saves the two from ragging and they become friends. They study, eat and hangout together. But thanks to Ryan they only manage to get 5 points something in there G.P.A.s (exams). With that low marks they are branded as one of the poorest students. Meanwhile Hari becomes close friend of Neha. Neha is daughter of there head of department. There friendship slowly transforms into love. Hari tries to impress her father. But he fails to do so. On the other hand Alok wants to improve his marks to get a better job and support his family. Then Ryan strikes an idea to steal the questions of there exams. Three’s bad luck follows them there too. They are caught. Now the question is will they make it?
It is just a damn great book. I read that in two days (after all I got to read all those boring regular books too). This is the best Indian book I have read in my life. Chetan bhaiya you rock man!

Together we can

I liked the idea given by Sulakshana. Why should we all work separately and not together? After all, all of ours projects are related to climate change. We are just tackling it through different fronts. Someone is working for green building, someone in climate finance, someone in awareness etc. But my project has got best of all the worlds. So surely need the help of all you guys out there. But then the one of our Martian Mr. Raghav’s worry is very correct. What I think we should do is we should simply write about what we are doing and let the help flow in. All the things which Raghav says are true and practical. But then we have to make our project impactful. And this work cannot be done alone for sure. So we should focus our energy at not more than ten projects at a time. But surely we can pass suggestions and all to others. For example we in East Zone more precisely ICCs in and around Kolkata have 4 waste management projects so we are doing it together. I also have a waste managemen...

UnIndianing India

Today our Republic turns 70years. In these year we have raised ourselves from ashes of partition and hate, braved conflicts internal and external. Yet we have carried on as a republic for so long, because we stayed true to the ideals of our founding fathers. The ideas that shaped our struggle against a colonist, against the communalists. But very often did our republic find itself at the verge and it seemed the dreams that freedom fighters saw for our free nation might be too much. Last few months if not years have been like that as well. When we seem to be turning our backs to the principles that defined our country. Principles of unity in diversity. Where so many people from so many different part regions, religions speak so many languages, can live and thrive together. Where different ideas from anywhere is not frowned upon. Where one does not have to fear to speak his/her minds out. Where people from different places and religions were welcomed not just as guests but as God...
