Here I am
I sometimes wonder if we IITians have actually perfomed to our fullest potential in the last four years.Does the euphoria of having cleared the most difficult entrance exam in the world take so much time to sink in or is it a case of sheer slothfulness ? It is no secret that we are among the most desultory creatures on this planet as far as our priorities go.But why this randomness in India's best institutions ?
There is one thing that sets us apart from the rest on this planet.The ability to meet challenges.the ability to fight back...and most importantly -the ability to survive.Is there a fault in our education system which refuses to stimulate the brightest of brains ?
There was one thing that I noticed in the past four years.Our education here has been seen as a passport to a better life.A life of riches where monetary worries would be minimal and social security maximum.But have we ever thought about the Greater Common Good...have we not spent our lives in an ivory tower where we have refused our creativity to surface and our innermost desires to mould our future ?
Lets face it...99% of us did not choose to come to IIT because we loved engineering...it was because it was the oasis of excellence in this vast desert like country of ours.It was liberating to get away from a world where nothing was ever done right and the passage of time was a glorious uncertainty.
I love my community...I love the IIT...but we as the Brand IITians can aspire for even more ...........
