5 pt smthing

When I was told to write an article giving a few tips to freshers a sense of inadequacy enveloped me. Though not a social pariah but not exactly in the social groove either I may not be exactly the right person to give sermons on how to make friends in iit…

I scratched my head and it struck me that it wont be too bad an idea to give 5 pts on how to eke out a decent cg in the first sem.


1. I know this point would be causing much chagrin to my contempories but as it is I love to call a spade a spade. (not a great idea in hostel though)…if you are not one of those guys who have the gift of the gab and love to trick people then it wont be a bad idea to keep a straight face to your seniors and avoid giving ragging…it helps you to maintain your focus and after all the more pristine you stay the better it is for you.


2.Once in college many guys tend to have their adrenalin surging in their veins a bit more strongly than it ever did..Those who always used to keep their collars buttoned try to roam about bare chested…man take it from me…it is always cool to have a decent cg and good resume …..but thrusting yourself in useless activities or bunking classes will only elevate the mercury within you.

3.It is quite natural to have your hair flowing in the breeze of rendezvous but don’t let your mind flow away with it…Enjoy the evenings do your work in the mornings…after all some guys just keep on working in iit..and your grades are affected by their performance as well..

4. Well this is where I screwed up big time…the period between minor 1 and minor 2 is extremely crucial..and also the most enervating…. Most people do well in minor 1 but it is only those who score well in minor 2 who get counted…

5. This point might end up being the talk of the town…perhaps that’s why I kept it at the last…I assume all of you have read the 5 pt sm1 before coming over here…. the point is self explanatory…. if there is a Neha (no pun intended) waiting for you over here then…..You have my envy otherwise however hard you try…tough luck man…
befriending the proffs is a better idea!!!


Live your life to the fullest guys….try to bath when there is no water in the hostel…try to sleep when the lights are on and the speakers are blaring…perhaps “Ara ka enthu high hai” has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Changing Times

As a child I was born weak and fragile. Being the only child of my parents I was heavily pampered upon. All my demands were fulfilled steadily and surely. As man grows up and sees the world in his own eyes he develops fantasies .In the age of 6 I was bitten by the video game bug.

Considering the exorbitant prices that they sported during the 90s they were truly and expensive buy. However I was extremely bent upon their purchase. But I too displayed a shocking but realistic trait of humans and they were soon forgotten.

The onset of the 21st century marked the entry of the Chinese dragon into the market and Video Games soon became affordable. The idea of buying one resurfaced in my mind and with a lot of pestering I succeeded in owning one. It soon became cynosure of attraction among my friends who envied my position. I felt joyous and elated. However as it is life is a full circle and every dream has its end. The plummeting of marks meant full stop to Video Games.
With the passage of time they have lost the charm and are now gathering dust. When I ponder I realize change is the only permanent thing in the world.
