IIT is IIT

almost ten months back i am reading india today magazine and i found an article entitled "US at IITs mercy" this article quoted about the way American congress expressed its grattitude to IITs and also they mentioned a fact that about eight thousands IITians are working in silicon valley and attributed the growth of silicon valley to this fact. after going through this article i thought "how come this many people gets seat in IIT?" then i turned my face to find myself in an IIT. that was really a dream came true for me!!!
now i am doing my summer internship in maruti. on an official visit i went a company called "SONA Steering" there i observed clear difference in the way people treat me once i reveal that i am an IITian. that really astonished me. the facilities, the environment and everything here is fabulous. after going to delhi i found how good my IIT is.
on september 7th 2005, i said to my cousin that IIT is like heaven. now i feel that IITK has surpassed heaven and unfortunately i'm out of words! there is no suitable for word to describe this place. so i jus say "IIT is IIT"
i think this is the third time i'm mentioning about this in my blog. but this place deserve much more times.

Ya, but I just hope that silicon valley were in India. IItians get so much govt subsidy without any bond to work in India, IITs also have very meager spending in research. If anything India needs more Phds, and IIts should become research based for real results for the country. So if an Indian has the capability for a Nobel prize he should get it in India itself. That's why IIts are not the best.

(My) Story of Bindi!!

Disclaimer: The content of this post is purely one of the several biases that I carry. I neither lament about them nor try to become unbiased. Because THIS IS THE WAY I AM. It means no reference to anyone dead or alive ;-) In India bindi is a predominant custom among woman of all religions. Apart from Hindus, many sects of Christianity and few sects of Islam practice this tradition. Keeping bindi is also treated as a symbol that the woman is not a widow. How did the tradition of bindi started?? As per the Ancient Indian philosophy every part of the body is recognized as a place for someone.. For e.g. heart is the place for loved ones. Similarly the place between the eye brows is the position of the Teachers, so as a token of respect to the Guru/teaching community the idea of bindi was introduced. Also, people in the olden days used to keep sindhur along with kumkum and both of them were cosmetics.. We Indians are always fond of looking good ;-)  Regarding me,  ...

God sees truth but waits...

This is a story which i read as part of my english syllabus. Today i found it as i was searching for some other thing. the Russian original was written by Leo Tolstoy. I found it at this link. After the story i remember my teacher telling us "its not human's job to punish others"... how true!!! In the town of Vladimir lived a young merchant named Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov. He had two shops and a house of his own. Aksionov was a handsome, fair-haired, curly-headed fellow, full of fun, and very fond of singing. When quite a young man he had been given to drink, and was riotous when he had had too much; but after he married he gave up drinking, except now and then. One summer Aksionov was going to the Nizhny Fair, and as he bade good-bye to his family, his wife said to him, "Ivan Dmitrich, do not start to-day; I have had a bad dream about you." Aksionov laughed, and said, "You are afraid that when I get to the fair I shall go on a spree." His wife re...
