the philosophy of a poor IITian

(1) "Every life has some purpose and we must try to fulfill our purpose"
(2)"Do not leave your efforts untill you get succeed"
(3)"Sincere and Honest hard work can never fail."
(4) "If you are not harming anyone else, then you can not be on the wrong path."
-I believed in this philosophy before coming to IIT .....(Second teaching is was taught to me by my father).

I became very crazy about IIT when in my 11th class , one of my friends(Indra prakash Jha) told me about IIT, that it is the toughest exam in India., and anyone who gets in IIT will surely had a stamp of being talented. He also told me that students get job directly after passing out of IIT and that too worth >25,000 per month., some of them even get >60,000 per month..I was fascinated.- in fact any person, who never has seen any person earning >5,000 per month just after graduation will be amazed by IITs.But more importantly, what I was thinking,was of the above statement "it is the toughest exam in India., and anyone who gets in IIT will surely had a stamp of being talented." No one from my Town (Sardarshahar) in history could clear the exam of IIT..I,being the city topper of my town, thought that I must try for it.I made IIT my dream.

He furthur told that IIT is not exam, name of the exam is JEE ; IIT is name of the college., there are 7 IITs in INDIA.
He told me that list and saw an old prospectus of JEE , that he had from his older brother.
"IIT was my dream"
I struggled & fought enough to get in IIT without any coaching., because in my family no one had spent 40,000 in 1 year for study , in fact no one had spent >2,000 per year ..the maximum was also of ours.I was predetermined "not to take admission in any coaching institute."

but blessings of my parents make me to clear JEE.
On 28 july 2005 ,I was admitted in IIT Delhi.
first 20 days were better that what I had expected.
but then came the minor I.......................................................... .........................................................................
and it was that time , from which my philosophy of life has been constantly varying each day, each minute...
trying to understand what is my purpose , where i am heading to...........
think IIT is still a dream for me..................................................................................
