Entry: From Vivek's blog Apr 28, 2004



Now, that we are up ane running and all that, here's some interesting (and fitting) stuff that I found while browsing through several new links on the side here. Found this one at Vivek's site. Hope he doesn't mind this plagiarization....

-----------------------------------------------------------

Aniket Sule posted some comments which he got from some people (in Germany) regarding IITians (only those who come through JEE).

1: They are academically brilliant but exibit worst kind of social behaviour.
2: They look at females just as objects to satisfy lust and not as a human.
3: We feel ashamed to take them to some party/trip along with us because due to their behaviour towards girls they become a liability.
4: Whenever they come to Europe for their BTP/DDP, they get uncontrolable in case of all the addictions be it booze or smoke or even worse visiting prostitutes.
5: They have unnessesary supiriority complex, hence behave very arrogantly with other Indian (male) students. They like to flock only with other IITians.
6: They are accoustomed to use atleast one swearing per sentence.

Amazing how people draw generalised conclusions based on sample sizes as small as 10-15.

Amazing how a handful of people can typecast an entire institute.

Still pondering...
---------------------------------------------------------------

Sochta hun sirf BTP ke bare me,
BTP ke bare me Sirf sochta hun.

Kyon sochta bhi hai BTP ke baarein mein,
Dard bhar jaayega teri zindagi mein.

Kya karoon is BTP mein, samajh aata nahin,
Kyon karoon yeh BTP main, samajh aata nahin.

BTP mein samjhne ko rakha kya hai,
Daya hai... daya hai... daya hai.

Samaj mein aayega, to bhi tu kya paega,
Wahi 4 panno ki kitaab guide ko pakda aaega.

Sochta hoon sab kuch chhod ke bhaag jaaon,
Par uske pehle maddu jaa ke khaooon.

Maddu to jaana hi hai, lekin ek dua hai meri rab se,
Usey aashikon mein sabse, meri aashiqi pasand aaye.

Yeh dua hai dost, teri tamanna poori ho,
Hum submein bus, maddu mein mera pehla number ho.

Pehla number tumhara ho, hum-raza hain hum,
Lekin main maddu se hi likh raha hoon.

Main tum se bahut kuch seekh raha hoon,
Filhaal to apni zindagi pe cheekh raha hoon.

Zindagi choti see hai, jaan gayein hain hum,
Aage nikal gayein tum, peeche rah gayein hum.

I was thinking of handing over the username and password for this blog to some people who are interested...any suggestions?

If you are planning on moving this blog, move to Blogger.

The reason I say that is cos Google now owns Blogger and I have great faith in Google when it comes to:

a. Quality of Service
b. Continious Product Innovation

Yeah, Blogger or Livejournal wud be better for many people to put up their posts.
And about that post, have that incident a lot in IITM too; those who go for summer interns abroad, rarely do behave civil. It seems to be set in their mind that their only point of going there was to booze, and letch @ females (and more). I am not accusing anybody inparticular here, but thats the general idea among the people I ahve talked to. I have never been to "exotic" lands for my intern, but I do hope to behave civil during my 5 year jaunt @ USA. Yeah, me soon to be X IITian...

Yup, blogspot/blogger or livejournal would be ideal for this kind of blog.

Well well.. someone putting stuff from my blog on their blog!

I dont mind it.

As a matter of fact, as long as you quote your source, I think it would be something to be flattered!

I am a big fan of Open Source stuff, so feel free to lift stuff you find worth picking up and dont forget to quote your source(s).

Flattered

Doesn't it allow multiple people to edit the same blog? Blogspot has a feature where in you can be the admin while granting some other user permissions to add/delete/modify stuff.

See if that is possible...

Dhar
