WHAT IS BEING AN IITian

Today, I am transgessing my moral limitaions to write about something that is much bigger than me and obviously my human capabilities.Something that has always intrigued me since my first year.

WHO IS AN IITian??
Hailed as the ambassadors as Indian supremacy in technological information and brain power..Is it just another hype in the mindsets of people and media OR are WE DIFFERENT??

Three years into it..and slowly a realisation has come in..
there is a ring in something everything even an average IITiann does.He is mind boggling to the normal eye.
Nd of course he is the biggest geek on the planet..they have the ability to can do..nuthin seems to be out of their reach...

And again I am not talking about academics...be it in any field..the image of an IITian bein a lean thin person is no longer true(though I am one)..Sports , athlectics, even comp games ...once they set their eyes on something, u can feel a sort of madness in them to defy all boundries..

Thr is one more flavor to the whole exp.erience. Since IITs are national institutes you get a whole breed of people living around you..a mix which you will rarely found anyehr lese in india...

but the greatest thing is a sense of realisation about your strengths and weaknesses..If thr is one thing that I can surely learnt in my three years..this is the one. Studying here has been a revelation..You realise wat you are good at..and humbled by your weaknesses..(that is normal though) ..
But the greatest thing is the feeling of awareness. Let me elaborate..you think you are completely superb in something ,be it a trivial thing like playing a game or reading novels...but here you will find tens of ppl eho are more fascinating and classy than you in that very field. "The point is even the invincible can be overwhelmed"
...and this I think is the underlying ethos of being an IITian
