Seven Point Someone

Well you have heard five point someone...now you are wondering what this seven point someone is..I am the seven point someone!!!Actually 7.6 point someone..(my aggregate is 76%)

When I was reading Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone....all through the book...I can relate almost every page of the book to my life(though I am not an IITian). I dont know which character represents me...Hari or Ryan or Alok.May be, I am a blend of all these characters...I am dumb during the VIVAs just like Hari,some times I am cool like Ryan and some times I am worried about my studies & career like Alok.So,I guess I am all the three!But, I love Ryan among the three and his weird & stupid ideas...my favourite being C2D(Cooperate To Dominate)!


Just like the IITians in 5 point someone,we have got assignments,surprise tests, stupid labs and a very tough & tight schedule.

And of course, we share our assignments just like them...one student breaks his/her back writing the assignment on his/her own and then all the others just copy+paste it into their assignment books!

Surprise tests(actually, they are shock tests)...its a team work! C2D...we share our ideas and these ideas change our life...we are given assignments again as our professor finds our ideas dumb.But our weird ideas are some times good, at least according to me!!


As I am an ECE student, I have got the toughest labs(at least tougher than the CSE & IT labs).Damn the VIVA where our professors become the crouching tigers and we,the students become the hidden dragons.{"A fool can ask more questions that a wise man cant answer". So there is no wonder that we are speechless during the VIVA:)}


Coming to our schedule, minimum 75% attendance is necessary for you to get promoted to next semister.Thanks to the proxy! And of course , we have got our age old excuses..."request to grant attendance as I am severely ill"!!


Though I have got no guts to steal the question papers right from my HOD's office(like the 5 pointers), I am facing a situation more or less similar to the DIS-CO(Discipline Committee)! Till now I have neglected my studies(Ryan's character was dominant in me all these days!).Now due to the economic recession, campus placements are a distant dream in my 3-2.Added to this is the fall of the Satyam reign,which has been one of the major recruiter of our college students.Gone are the days,where an average student(like me) could easily find an entry to major IT companies.As the IT sector is now not ready to waste their money and time on training the freshers, it is searching for students who can start working on the projects right on their first day in the office!

Now all these realizations hit my lazy brain out of the blue! Well, I cant change the past..but definitely, I dont want my future to repeat my past.

So, I am trying to focus(at least now in the third year) on my studies just like the 5 pointers who work sincerely towards their career in their final year!

The climax of the 5 point someone was an happy ending...lets wait and see whats going to be the climax of my college life--- "7 point someone"!!

Life screws you just when you think, you have figured it out!!!
