Hello Readers , I am from IIT Kanpur and i would like to share some of my experiences of my life.
I had always been a guy who had no interest in studies till class 5. I was failed in Maths exam of unit term of class 5, which changed me a lot. My mother beat me up and i literally saw her crying. I had then promised to myself for not studying for getting pass but to study for that women who cares for me to that extent. I started studying and i came up second in class 5 with full on full score in Mathematics in class 5. I had no intentions of competing with the topper , the only motivation for me to study are my parents. They never asked me to be a topper , they only demanded me to get pass. When i used to perform good in class, my father used to be extremely happy and used to give me chocolate.
Life went on calmly and i had really good friends. When i was in class 10 , my big brother seeing my good mathematical capabilities asked me to go to Kota for further studies and make my carrier.I said him no in my first go. I said " I can't live alone ! " . I do not want to be engineer or anything. My brother was successfull in making up my mind to go to kota and i gave my first competitive exam of my life. I got afraid by seeing the big crowd outside the hall. I started interacting with some people and people were really disgusting to have chat , they talked in such a way as i had asked them to give their kidneys. I got disappointed but more concentrated on myself.
I gave the exam and i was selected by Bansal Classes with a place in their top Batch (P1) . I went to Kota 3 days before the class resumes. I felt suffocated in such a hot atmosphere. No friends,nothing, just a boring room to study. I called up my parents that i do not want to study in Kota and i am desperate to come in home. My mother replied " Study for a week , then take the money which you will recieve as cancellation of registration and come :) " . I agreed to the deal and to her surprise , i called her up on the first day that i do not want to come back as i am more comfortable now. I had made some really good friends. I even contact them today . I won't ever delete those friends from my history.
Kota changed my life , it changed my thinking process, personality and many other things. I gave up my selfish nature, i started helping people and i was habituated in eating anything, which i would have not eaten if i was at home .
JEE appeared , i gave it with full confidence and god gave me a wonderfull opportunity to study at IIT Kanpur. I had almost lost all contacts with my school friends. I then came to know about facebook , and got to know how to find old friends. I got all of them , i felt very nice . As usual i made a lot and lot of friends at IIT Kanpur too. And i am pretty sure that neither these guys are going to forget me and nor do i will .
My first year of IIT Kanpur was wonderfull , in the first semester i learnt programming ( I even did not knew how to turn on the computer before coming to IIT ) . In the second semester , i came to meet an awesome personality , Utkarsh Lath , I am really very very thankfull to this guy. He helped me a lot in making me a good programmer. He is such a nice guy that he even debugged my bad written code on his convocation day. Today he is working in facebook and he welcomes my silly doubts.
In my second year , i got an opportunity to do something for my iitk community , i tried my best to teach my juniors something about algorithms and programmming. I do not know the extent to which
i was successfull. My team went to ACM ICPC regionals and secured the best position from IIT Kanpur.
I am currently studying in third year and i am ready to see more miracles of life.
