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!

Back Stabbed 1

I don’t know but it seems that India has a long and still lasting tradition of being stabbed by those people whom India helps. “30th October a day t5hat will live in infamy”. Perhaps this is what FDR would have if he could be our President or perhaps not. Pearl Harbour attack or 9/11 attack on US have happened once in sixty years. But here in India not even six days passes without someone stabbing our nation in its heart, whether they are terrorists, anti-socials or even so-called civilised people. India is been constantly butchered to pieces uncountable. Perhaps these incident happens so occasionally that our honourable PM and President have to appoint all the Booker Prize winners. (I really meat that, the number is very large now.) From last few months the numbers of bomb blasts are increasing and those bad guys have made whole India what Jammu and Kashmir was few years back. I think we are behind these blasts and all. Firstly we can’t elect a responsible government to run world’s ...
