Google Wave is awesome!

And they lived happily ever after

This is IIT, where there are a total of ten people on campus, five of whom do weed, eight are usually too drunk to attend classes, and every other person has either attempted suicide or made out with his professor’s daughter. Not to forget the perpetual muggu, who covers his window panes with black paper, so as to protect himself from the gaze  of 7 pointers. This is where people risk their lives, doing stunts even Batman would be proud of to get their hands on a question paper. Yes. This is IIT. Five Point Someone is probably the most factually incorrect book ever written; this guy actually praises MS Word(Open Office anyone??).

Chetan Bhagat should have been a Bollywood script writer; His books are a perfect recipe for success. There is a hero. There are his sidekicks. There is a chick. There is her evil father.There is action. There is tragedy. There is comedy(the farce that comes from IITians). And at the end, everyone lives happily ever after.

The other day I read his latest book; the one called “Two States”. All he has done is pitched Punjabis against Tam Brahms and poked fun at eccentric ways that supposedly exist among them. I read this book with no expectations whatsoever, and it turned out be a fascinating read, just to notice the amount of exaggeration in the it. What makes it popular amongst people is that there are not too many people who know about the lives and the ways of an average Punjabi as well as a Tam. They usually end up laughing at the other(you may want to read this later if you like this).

Now for some clarifications. There are 4000 people on campus. I do not do weed; hardly anyone does it here. I do not go drunk to classes. I have not tried to commit suicide since I joined. I have not made out with my Professor’s daughter yet. I do not have black paper on my window panes; I will probably end up getting close to an 8 pointer anyway. I have not tried dropping ropes from the roof in order to get into my Prof’s office at night; all their rooms are on the ground floor. MS Office sucks. And I am an IITian.
