The title is indeed true. But there's no sense now in bragging about it. Anyways February has blessed us with the first blog post.  Nothing much happened from the last post except for the ongoing<ish> protests here at IIT Indore. In most of the IITs pan India, such protests are coming up for various reasons. Leaving a link . The [article] is very well written. But it made me wonder that many national universities who already have established powerful student bodies have done any good to themselves. We all know that what kind of cultures prevails in those unis. All these debates akin to prevalent national politics makes me look back to my naive and cynical attitude to government, or in a broader sense the governance which I had in I don't know like in 9th - 10th standard. It wouldn't be even wrong if I say that it was still with me for the last few years. Back then everything was ( In a rigorous sense) either right or wrong. It was purely classical mechanics, no r

Got a chance to visit much dreaded Ahmedabad once again. This time for the marriage of an amicable 2nd cousin.

Naturally, curiosity mad

Exams are over 😔, results were a significant setback to my already not so smooth college life. I miss the thrill of studying during JEE prep. Then I studied because I liked to but now I study only for passing the exam. No subject is a forte of mine now. God knows what IIT-I has more to offer. It is just like that the state of my mind is not on the same page with the college learning process. Many are feeling likewise. Other reason may be that previously, results were directly proportional to your efforts but now instead they're like efforts to the power one fifth. I have to stay in the campus till all the answer papers are shown. I've found solace in badminton until then. One side of the earphones paralyzed today <sed lyf>. Yesterday went to Indore for a quick trip with friends. Every time someone enquires of place worth sightseeing more I realize that Indore has nothing to offer except food. I also got to use Pixel 2 devices in T.I. Google is really trying to set the
