Anything for you Maam is another story from an IIT’ian. THERE is no doubt that you have to be very, very smart to get into IIT. IIT’ians- The name just reminds you big spectacled human species who always know only one kinda entertainment-books, books and books. But there is a difference between smart and talented. And here you find one really talented. Flagged off by Chetan, Tushar Raheja, another student at IIT, Delhi, has written one of the funniest books in recent times. Raheja is able to sustain his style with pretty lightweight plot material — an IIT Delhi boy in love, planning a journey to Chennai to meet his girl friend. He has this instinctive ability to hold your attention with narrative deviations that illuminate disparate subjects — the charm of campus life, stupid and pig-headed Professors, the advantage of having many sisters (you get a chance to date their friends), the adventure of train travel in India, the joy of an early winter in Delhi (the weather encourages you to ...

I think next time I meet her without finishing this she would be ready to smack me.[I could see faces brightening up; sorry don’t be so happy she will not do it hopefully] I was officially declared to be a member of executive council of technologists [Atleast for sake of being declared engineer; I should be proud about it right??] last Saturday.

I simply thank the hijacker and went on tour. Passengers???? Rest???? Grrrr my mom woke me up at th...

Probably we would have read this as a forward or deleted it without reading. But now.. Lets take time to read it. One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She n...
