Last class at IITK

Tomorrow (or today.. as it's 3:30 a.m. already) is my last class at IITK. Monday is my last end-sem exam at IITK. Looking back, I think it was quite fun with all those high stress days during end-sems. Amid all the tensions we used to manage time for frivolous activities. It was among these times that orkut was visited most frequently. How can we forget the good old IITian 'top rat3d Mangoes' community. And that midsem sting operation during first sem was awesome thing! We also captured them visually digitally. I remember after an exam during end-sem I used 'Gunda' - the legendary movie (see the review) as stress buster. We watched Gunda twice back to back! Now that's some feat. All due courtesies to mid-sems & end-sem.

The learning was to see the enjoyable moments in spite of loathsome tasks. Performing under stress: that's what IIT system teaches you.

Although it should be noted that not all our peers were able endure it. Some chose to end themselves. And the numbers have been increasing after 2005. A total of 8 successful and 4 (or more may be) unsuccessful attempts. May they rest in peace.
