We, because of our young blood, tend to think only about fun, but think of a student in larger point of view. Here in IITD we have many fields to excel in, many things to yearn for. But, whether you like it or not primemost importance is demanded by academics.This institute, this world famous faculty, this money is all spent so that we become 'good' engineers.Some people, either because they're not willing to or are not capable enough, score low grades, low enough to call for attention. For that, there is the SRC which "punishes" such students by limiting their credits and disallowing them any post of responsibility. The idea behind this is, that IIT wants them to devote time for studies. They lessen the workload by reducing both the amount of studies and amount of extra-curriculars.If in this way, he can at least get some passing marks, than what's the problem. We are here to develop our overall personality in all dimensions, fine, but we forget that we still are IITians first and then a dramatist, or a footballer, or a guitarist.

Our country has marked us as above average and is providing us the best possible resources to develop our minds. We are supposed to be excellent in the technical field. Why do we keep forgetting our national responsibilities. The burden of nations expectations should feel heavy enough to make as sweat for our studies. If by this small 'punishing' act of SRC, they assure that a bright star is not completely lost, then why complain?

OK, even if you forget about your country(which would be a very mean thing to do), think of your own future. You are here,spending your time and money, to get the label of an 'engineer'. As a professional, it is of utmost importance that you excel in your field. If you score too low, than obviously you are a goner in your field. If by 'punishing' you, SRC saves you from making such a big blunder, then why crib about it?
I think everyone must sit down and reflect, ask yourself -"What am I here for?". "What is best for my future?". The answer is more than clear my friend, and I don't think these questions can be termed as immaterial.

Ummm.........

Who doesn't like the taste of a mango? When that thick juicy pulp fills the mouth, it ignites that magical sensation of cool sweet bliss and everything else in the world seems immaterial. And then, the heart says," Ummm….." in our local language, we call it 'aam'. What an apt name!

Ummm, the fire of my tongue. Ummm, the scream of my buds. The all refreshing Ummm. Most certainly, you are a gift sent by God. When the devotees of God were fed up of baigan and karela soups, God said," Hmmm, let there be Ummm." Now you know why the yogis always chant 'Aum'. Actually, it’s the archaic form of Ummm. All they desire from the God is a big juicy mango.

For that matter, even the common man in our language is called 'Aam Aadmi'. You know why? Because when these leaders, industrialists and criminals relish the innards of common man, they say Ummm. This Ummm which seems to be growing at a rapid pace, is becoming more and more vulnerable to such Ummm-eater.

Lets get back to our real, juicy, pulpy, ultra yummy Ummm.
It is now being exported to the U.S.A! let me tell you the truth. This Ummm is actually a bait. When the unsuspecting Americans get the taste of this notorious Ummm, they will come begging on knees to our country for more. That lays ad 'No one can eat just one', is just an indication of the things to happen when this Ummm goes global.

Not for nothing is the Ummm called the king of fruit. Not only does it rule over all other fruits, it is the cause of war amongst other kind of kings. It's rising price in the market is just a start! This mischievous thing has plans to take over the world. And this time, we peacelovers are defenceless, unless some tongue-less aliens come to our rescue.

I have completely surrendered to the demands of this king. There is no hope, no point being hostile to it. Go, get a big Ummm and swear fealty to it. NOW!

Question Mark??

The thing that they show in the Matrix. Can it be true? There is no way to tell. Our fantasies and stories portray the world as something completely unexpected but perfectly fitting. The story of Harry Potter or those written in our epic indicate one thing. That this earth is not what we see it is. That there are powers, people,brains beyond all this.Of course these suppositions are not proven to be true, but they aren't proven wrong either. Amusingly so, neither is the modern science equipped enough to prove these things wrong.

Maybe we are all computer programmed organic robots kept in a simulated real life environment.Maybe beyond the skies and the sun live the angels and Gods in heaven. Again, the things are passed off as baseless.But what if there is something we are totally unaware of, something that is an integral part of life but still we miss it.

According to fantasy writer Douglas Adams, the earth is just a supercomputer built by rats to find the ultimate meaning of life. This sounds gibberish that one cannot overlook the possibility that maybe we are a part of some gigantic system, a small cog in a complex machinery. The vastness of universe often creates such doubts.

No law of science can be treated as totally universal. There are countless examples where old scientific theories, which were very readily accepted by people, were discarded like a piece of nonsense when new facts were discovered.

When the world was wide beyond our eyes, we accepted it to be flat. Only when some people tried to think beyond this 'unshakable truth' did the real truth come out. What we truly need is unbiased fresh approach,which challenges every pivotal belief in the world. Only if one starts afresh from the basic developments such as languages, civilizations and religions; will the answer be found.

Question what they say and never discard any possibility only because its too odd to be true.What Darwin said was unbelievable, but true. Again the definition of truth is skewed here. What Darwin proposed was accepted and followed by the world thereafter. But now, even the Darwin's theory has been modified. Modern biology doesn't believe that Darwin's postulates are entirely true. God know what really the truth is.

The biggest question that poses in front of us is the presence of God. Does God exist? If yes, then what exactly is God? It he a human, or a source of power, or a centre of force? Is it a thing or just thoughts? If yet God is not proven to be there, then why do so many people believe in God? So many people cannot be blindfolded at the same time. Or maybe they can be!!

In our quest for the answer to everything we humans have come a long way. Questions like this have always enticed us and keep on doing so till eternity. That said, does anyone know how long eternity is? maybe God does.
