Happy new year ??!!

It is most likely that you are going to be reading this in 2011 unless, ofcourse, u are a really close follower of my blog (which is highly unlikely).

Well, Happy New Year.
This year , like all others , seemed to pass by really fast. In this short time , u cant expect much to happen - leaving me once again stranded with nothing to write about.

Eve of new year. This one of those times when facebook gets really boring - filled with the same old copy-pastes of fancy new year wishes and few a few original ones which turn out to be mostly dumb to say the least. And the mobile phones keeps beeping annoyingly with messages from 'well wishers' . Just for the heck of it we reply them with messages we recieved from others. Caring friends , u see.

This is yet another week of promises. 'Resolutions' as many love to call it during this time of the year. I dont get the point of it all. I doubt how many of us have really stuck to the promises we made on Diwali, Christmas , Hindi new year ... Then why take pains to think of new believable resolutions now ?? :P .
At best resolve - not to change.

Here's one of the most popular resolutions i've heard of lately. 'agle semester mein padai kareinge' .
Oh, to remind you , i'm at IIIT . (that kind of says it all). Well, even if we really want to make one, why not make something that we can really hold on to?! That's why i say : resolve not to change ;) . well that is what is going to happen. (Do you even remember the resolution you took this time last year ? )

Talking of IIIT , This 'grand occasion ' is celebrated in grand style here. A little late , as people argue ... but better late than never ,at 8.30 am in the electronics lab. I await the celebrations eagerly :P.

Ah, There's one more thing i really wish to see this year...
i really want to see what the heck changes in the next 365 days.

By all this , i by no means try to stop u from partying ;) ... i myself love this excuse for partying!
Hyderabadi Biryani, Pizza , Coke , Dum aaloo , paneer tikka!! Mad Dance, Rocking DJs, blazing Discos, and everything else nice [ ;) ] ... WOW!! Wooo hoooo!! Enjoy
I suddenly get a feeling , it's time for me to leave !! PARTY HARD !!

Just let me know if any thing new occurs to you this new year...
I'm going to be looking east for the sunrise ... what about you?!

In one corner of the world...


IIIT Hyderabad.
No,No, read that name again... it's notIIT its IIIT.
Its not one of those colleges that a kid grows up aspiring for. Neither is it a "COLLEGE" like colleges are assumed to be. Yes, I study here.

Preparing for IIT, i ended up with an extra 'i'. Today though there are no regrets. :). infact its just smiles.
A few days back the Dean of the college termed IIIT as an "Academic NDA". Well...it didnt need this certification from the Dean, I had already figuredthat out.

Well , i'mwriting this blog taking time out from never ending assignments and deadlines.
just waiting for the next ass to be uploaded.
I was tempted to write this blog on popular recommendation.(just one guy asked me to do so though... ).
Back in baroda i had LOTS of friends...who today have spread into all colleges i've ever heard of, and more. when i talk to them i realize IIIT is so much different from the rest. Mind u ... being different is not always a positive!

I dont know how many of you have ever heard of this college. But i dont care. I know about it and I'm Loving it.
Strangely for most college goers... We attend classes, atleast phisically almost daily andwe've never thought of a mass bunk. We do our assignments ourselves(well, almost). we barely party. A completion of an ass (short of assignment) is in itself a party like feeling. The reward "a good night's sleep".

But we cant deny ourself our peice of cake can we?
we enjoy our days the IIIT style. Hacking the workspace computers to get windows working on an otherwise linux comp and playing CS , Dota ...(none of the games i'm good at).
Oh ...ofcourse our very own bakchodi... RULES.

Reaching this point of the blog... i realise that there nothing 'exciting' that happens on campus that u'd like to listen to... Except for a few events like rocknite which a few dozen audience and a couple of sport events that attracts spectators on a similar scale.
And there are coding competions almost weekly. This is by far the clear winner, attracting almost half of the college. And people other than me walk away with pretty prizes... and me and my UG1 frnds are left with some consolations... We take that as a prize though!!

Oops, the assignment is OUT!!!
So,i gtg... Not for completing it... but to tell the rest this news...

Do leave a comment.

Code ur way to success.

Far Far Away Laah!



"Around the world in 80 days."

... Nah , not my story.

Neither did i go around the world , nor did i spend 80 days traveling.

A short trip to our "across the sea neighbours" - Malaysia and Singapore turned out to much more fascinating and awesome than what i had expected.
Well, I'm not here talking about the must see places or any tourist information as u can easily find better people to tell u about that. Just google.

Lets go Malaysia first.
First thing one is likely to notice in this nation is the LARGE airport - it has a rail system inside its building!
Nice huh?

On the flight , we were offered lots of cool drinks and little food. I wondered why.
In the airport , EUREKA! , i found myself the answer!
Superb toilets and breath-taking wash rooms!
And who can resist showing off their investments??!! Hence the cool drinks onboard!

Fresh strawberries, Dark chocolates and things i could not recognize made a walk in the airport rather a pleasure.
overall 9.99 out of 10. (9.99 because i did not like their strategy of drinks :p, every thing else was real good!)

It's a 75 km drive from the air port to the city. On the way we pass by unpopular buildings like the incometax department and toll booths. And soon the landscape changes from pure green trees to shiny blue sky scrapers. Putrajaya - they call it. the city which they claim will take the architectural world by storm! seemingly so.
But like most other beautiful things, a visit to Putrajaya is expensive! ...We let it alone.

We steadily moved into the country's capital - Kuala Lumpur.
I was Stunned. The towering sky rises and marvelous architecture apart, the first thing Indians are likely to notice in the city is it's incredible cleanliness!
The 75 km drive was having it's toll on me already. It got sickening and monotonous ... u know... i'm not used to perfectly smooth roads without pot holes!
Finally we arrived at our hotel ... nice and cozy. I was already liking malaysia!
We spent the next few days looking around a few buildings and nodding to every thing our guide told us...
not much sight seeing to see in this city :-( . however , the city was of a different type... so just liked looking around.
The place that caught my interest was a street called " Little India". It really was very 'Indian' and i felt as if i was home. One can find anything he/she finds in India - Samosas , vegetables, pirated CDs n fake Nike/Adidas shirts :p and ofcourse many INDIANs.
It didn't take me long to discover malaysians' favorite word : "Laah".
It goes like this :
How are u Laah?
I am fine Laah!
U like KL laah? (KL = Kuala Lumpur)

uff!

The last day at KL turned out to be a lil boring.
i dont know why... perhaps it was getting monotonous or maybe i was excited on going to our next destination - Singapore.

Oh! btw... we visited a place called Melaka sometime during the stay at KL. Decent historical place.
But what was more interesting was it's name - u swap the 'l' and the 'k' and u have the name of one of my classmates :-p !

overall rating : 7/10. (don't ask for reasons, it's MY blog!)

We then head towards one of the most hyped countries of the world.
Singapore looks small on a map , but for a one city nation it's big enough.
Lots of places to see!!
I wonder how they have a zoo and a safari inside that small island!
I just LOVED this place! awesome!
Stupendous technologies everywhere - automatic toll , high tech train tickets... So cool!

Btw... here's an intersting statistic : 77% of singaporians are chineese, 12% malay, 8% Indians and only 3% Locals!! :p.
And as a result Chineese food is all around.But chineese restaurants that dont serve veg food. :p
We went into one of the eatery and asked for VEG food - and the waiter went " Are u sure??" holding an absolutely confused face!
There's nothing much i would like to add about the experience about Singapore... It really was tooo cooooll!! the sight seeing places are superb, well complimented by a clean, safe , tourist friendly atmosphere. For more see my FB photo album.

over all rating : 9/10 (i was tempted to give a 10/10 , but there is always room for improvement u see!! :-p )

Very soon i landed once again on a runway. This one was much more bumpier. The air hostess then called out "My dear Guests , Jet Airways now welcomes you to Baroda...."

That marked the END of a short but enjoyable journey.

Go Play! U can't be defeated!



---
Fiona , Laila , Ruby.
The first thing that comes to mind reading these names are images of beautiful women.

"PHET" is one of the latest additions to the group of 'beautiful ladies', though it might not sound as sexy or seductive.

Phet emerged on earth after successive thunders and lightnings (quiet literally)! It had an ideal entry to the world, Just like our film stars who jump out of nowhere with nature seemingly becoming a slave to them.

Pouring showers, deafening thunders and blinding lightnings! Stupendous! A wonderful way to welcome a HERO!
This cute devil was born in the Arabian sea. It grew in power , moved towards the mainland causing utter panic and chaos. Meteorologists named this powerful cyclone - PHET.

A cyclone ,traditionally ,is associated with utter destruction and mayhem.
Phet has not yet reached Gujarat. (atleast when i write this blog)
I hope it doesn't cause too much damage to property and does not claim lives of any. My sympathy would lie with those who loose their belongings or loved ones.

However, Phet has brought happiness to many. Atleast to me!
After a long summer of unbearable heat, early monsoons are only a welcome.
The dry dust by the road side , will soon become muddy... perfect for a mud bath!
The climate will chill and the aroma of the monsoon will spread. (oh! The garbage dumbs will get stinkier too!)
the cool soft breeze shall flow!
The MONSOONS SHALL ARRIVE! Wooo Hooo!

That is nature! A cyclone (Phet) assumed to be a mere tool of nature to cause absolute destruction , turns out to be a hope for a long and pleasant monsoons.
Fortunately life mimics nature in several ways.
Naa.. life doesn't give us powers to make clouds rain or lightnings strike.
But it sure does say that the other side of the moon is bright!

These are the days when results of various examinations are out. These are the days when the judgement is given. Well i believe that te judgement is 99.9% wrong. Terribly wrong. It doesn't reflect the true caliber of the candidate. But Grandmas say "Thats the result".
Yes. This is THEIR judgement.

They have created the storm... we have to harvest the happiness.
Lets just take it this way... We are who we are. No result can change us.
It's time we digest the results, jump on to the playground and say "I'll show u who i am,buddy!".
We still have a long way to go!
" Do what u love, love what u do"
Success is somewhere around... We just need to find it!
GO PLAY!

My dear Phet, I love you!

Result Days



I'm sorry for not updating my blog for sometime now...
..
..
But
i'll assume that u have pardoned me on that...

Ever since my exams were over,
i've been busy. Busy with LOTs of work to do. Of the many things that i have been involved in, preparing my self to switch to hostel life was one. Many of my seniors have said that one of the most exciting and important aspect of hostel life is GAMING. Computer gaming. Cool huh? This seemed tough ( to become a good player needs lots of hard work) but enjoyable never the less! I had a variety of games to choose from: CS, WOW, AOE. ( Computer games can be compared to Indian politics,actually! Just like most political parties which have their own abbreviation (remember BJP, BSP, INC... ?), also the games take a toll on ur computer's memory and performance just like the politicians dig ur pockets! lol)
Anyways, I chose
AOE. Age Of Empires to be more precise.

Computer games and ME never went together. However, my game is improving by the day. My brother's addition to the game (on LAN) has only helped my improvement.

When i gave my brain a little exercise, i realized that my game often reflected my feelings.
Hey!
dont laugh! I'm serious!!
The day i'm happy and calm i tend to grow more farms, when i'm angry i play aggressive and so on..

Past 2 weeks have been what i call "Result Days". The FINAL result of my hard work. The first bombshell was that of the
CBSE boards. Had no expectations... and i wud have been happy with any percentage( i had put in very little hard work into it). Then the results of the competive exams started coming. GUJCET, IITJEE, BITSAT, AIEEE .
My game grew bad. Bad to worse. Worse and Worse.

The results have been a disaster for me. I thought i had done much much better than this.
Spending hours and hours wondering what went wrong
didnt help one bit. Tears ran down my cheeks , my nose got filled with goo and my throat was choked.

It took me a while to digest my result .... but in the end i accepted it.
I wiped off my tears, blew out the goo, gargled my throat and i was UP again!
I
wud have ruffled up my feathers i had them for the long happy flight ahead.

It is now that i have realised the value of the
wise's saying ,"Whatever happens , happens for the Good."

Filled with enthusiasm again, i switched on the computer inserted the CD, and i was back to gamming terms!

Believe me i'm playing better today! I'm still hopelessly bad at gamming... but i'm better than what i was a couple of weeks back.

The RESULT DAYS can't stop me!

Don't fart ... There's a reason.



Vada Pav, Burgers, Pizzas and every thing nice have two things in common.
1. They taste Great
2. They make u fart!

A survey suggests that if all the 100 billion+ people of the world fart generously ,all together, they may generate enough methane and organic gases to increase the temperature of the earth by 5 degrees.
I wonder who did this survey and how he went about it!
Doesn't matter, does it?

5 degrees may be well enough to melt a handsome amount of polar ice.
Not only that - trees will dry up, deserts will expand , rivers will not remain and worse.
If you want more scary consequences of "global warming", google a little- you'll loose your sleep.
That's why i say - "don't Fart". But can we ignore the nature's call?


There are two ways to define a 'pessimist'
1. "A pessimist is he who looks left AND right before crossing a one way road"!
2. "A pessimist is a person who thinks the world is down and out, and there's no cure to the global warming".

There Sure is a CURE for global warming.
Grow trees , Don't cut 'em, Dont waste electricity .... All well said.
Practically , we won't cut trees, we're no axe men. But we surely can grow more trees and use less of paper or reuse the reverse side of used ones.
- In this respect, i say the "Paper shredder" is one of the most ridiculous inventions ever! I have still not figured out how it makes life easier for you and me.

Anyways, lets see how we can do something more constructive.
One of the finest suggestions to control the warming , according to me, is to save electricity.
YES saving electricity can check Global warming.
We all switch off our lights when not necessary and same with fans and ACs. Don't we?
If not look around ... Your toilet light may still be on!
DO join the crusade against the warming and turn your lights off.

{Actually all the TV channel owners have sworn in to save the planet. Ever guessed how?
Well, That's exactly why they dont broadcast any good shows! And you turn the TV off!}

Energy management plays a crucial role in battling our misery.
Politicians, Netas, Leaders, Babus or what ever you like to call them, have ever been promising all kinds of stuff, claiming that they're THE best when it comes to helping earth. But VERY few have kept their words.
Believe me, if there was an invention that could convert all lies and crap our politicians speak into energy, we might be facing a problem of plenty, in terms of energy!
I just hope our politicians get to work.

Google-ing a little will let you know how YOU can save earth ,if you've not started yet.
So , i wont waste electricity typing those suggestions here.
But i'll remind you to do your bit for the planet we share.

If you can't follow those suggestions around, the best way to help is..
..
...
....
DON'T FART.

Mumbai Meri Jaan??



Aye dil ! Hai mushkil jeena yahan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan!!



Ah yes! Those are lines from some random famous bollywood movie.
The reason i take pains to copy paste those lines is to suggest that even in those days Bombay,if not Mumbai, was not a very pleasant city to live in.I came back only yesterday from the "Financial capital" of India and believe me it's perhaps even worse today!
If you have ever cared to see a T.V. travel show about Mumbai , they ususally call it ,rather safely, the city of contrasts.It's that way because thats the most positive expression one can give for Mumbai and plus you don't get want to mess around telling the truth with the "Sena" around!

Of-course they just don't call Mumbai "city of contrasts" without reason.
On one side u have the world's largest slum and on the other u have the the posh shoping malls..
Where u find overcrowded local trains, suddenly an empty one passes by.(it's kinda humiliating!)
Here's my fav : Worli bus stop is called "Worli Village" and Dharavi is called "Dharavi Terminus"! (for those who didn't catch the humor: Worli is perhaps India's most developed areas and Dharavi is the WORLD's largest Slum!!!)

I traveled to Bombay (hey lets call it Bombay. it sounds better) by train. Arguably rail travel in India is good. But the first impression about Bombay is not soothing. Not soothing? Nay, it's DISGUSTING. All you see is filth and filth and filth. Ah yes and in the middle of all this u have a towering skyscraper,just to live up to it's own repute of being a city of contrasts!Any way , i just covered my nose with a perfumed handkerchief and just moved on... just like a diver taking precautions before taking a plunge.
Very soon , i realized that Bombay was far too populated.
Give this a thought : u have local trains running at intervals of 3 mins - all of them overflowing with Mumbaikars... and yet u have traffic on the roads! Oh boy!!
On the positive side, u have fairly good footpaths here. Footpaths without vendors!U can walk past the Mercedes and Volkswagens which are stuck on the road , and if u feel like playing a practical joke, just give it's driver a BIG smile!(u can imagine how that man would feel - U buy a car for 15 lacs which boasts a top speed of 300kmph and here, u have a guy who walks past ur investment while he is still stuck!!!)
But Mumbaikars reputedly never give up. U ought to pay a price for that BIG smile!if the footpath is ur territory, the Zebra crossing is theirs.The moment they realise that u are going to try crossing the road, they floor their accelerators.
psssst here's a secret to cross the road: just keep walking and tell them:"I'm crossing. U bang into me and u'r going to jail buddy!"

Also, Bombay makes u realize the banes of technology.Every guy and gal there seem to have the cell phones glued to their ears.Hey! Here's a suggestion for u, if u are of the same breed - Try blue tooth!No one seems to bother about one another here. It's like "Mein , Meri phone , aur woh"!

.... To be continued

BITSAT Exam.

3 things happen today
1. I give my BITSAT.
2. I go into a state of Excitement + disgust.
3. I realize Mumbai is one of the worst cities ever. <>

Having done Miserably in IIT JEE, GujCET, ISAT - Bitsat remained my only hope.
i was determined to do well, and yes i put in a quiet deal of efforts into my preparation.
Result - Not handsome.


I know many of u out there are eager to know about BITSAT , hence i write this blog at the earliest. I hope my friends get to benefit from this.


First of all lets get a feel of bitsat and the atmosphere around.

Like most other exams, in this too parents and students crowd around the gates and best wishes fly around in the air- your job is to catch as many as possible. Most guyz try to laugh off their tensions and gals cry them away. Very few turn up without fear.I did not carry any tension with me, but somehow the atmosphere makes your heart beat harder.

A staff then emerges from the building and calls - "Candidates - This way!".
People stare at each other , shake hands, turn pages of books and some even tryout muscle stretching while others take an auto ,back home (Bunking exams!).

As you approach the hall u can already smell computers.
Vigorous identity verifications take place - all thru bar code reades and biometric thumb prints!
I was already impressed!

Inside the room there are 100 odd computers and one big mean machine with a dozen people surrounding it. Yes , if u are a hacker, u know ur target pretty soon - thats the server.
It has all the 1.5 lac questions , and thats the machine that'll bug u for the next three hours of ur life. And the questions don't seem to be pretty.

Here's is a review of the questions:
Level - maths slightly tough, PC easy, E/R Tough - Tough.
My score is not great coz i just did not lady luck with me 12th morning.
but i'm sure all those who have been preparing for iit/aieee should find bitsat a cakewalk.

My tip
hey.. my tip doesnot suggest how u shud be studying at the last minute or any thing..
I would say, Do your round of morning prayers wholeheartedly .
LOTS depends on luck.

Who invented the "spell check"?


"Toh hum aaj kya padenge ma'am?" , i asked my english teacher as she passed by me.
"angrezi ... grammar " she returned.
I noticed she took pains to speak that one word of Hindi, but she made her point clear through her stern eyes - "It's English time."

As she reached the teachers table after her routine rounds near our benches, "page 43, english grammar textbook" she said.

None of the BBA's had their text books. So we gave a blank look at the rest of the class. (Oh ! btw BBA is Back Bencher's Association!).
The class turned pages, we shuffled the deck of cards.
The daily exercises started , and the cards were distributed.
The teacher continued with her teaching and the BBA with it's game of "Chokdi".
The game started , and a thought came into my mind "Should i be playing right now?".
Then,i got a slap on my neck. "Your turn " one said.
I dismissed all my thoughts and got involved in the game.

We were failures at English, but we didn't care. We didn't care one bit for anything except PCM and sports!


3 months later...
i.e. Today...

Most of the examinations are over. But one is still to go...BITSAT.
It is a prestigious exam - a ticket for a prestigious college.

There are two things bad about BITSAT.
1. It is conducted late... Very late. by this time moods have shifted from studies to play.
2. They test ENGLISH.

And believe me, English is tough.
As i prepare for the exam and try to recollect what we had learnt in school, nothing but the "Ace of Spades" comes to my mind.
Not a poem, not an idiom, not a proverb comes to my mind.
I am all regrets today.

Really?

Guyz, i'm an optimist.
Look at the positive side of it.
i've never touched the book, so, today it is brand new!! Very few can resist a new book!
As i opened the book , the Queen of hearts popped up - That's a good sign!

Now i'm going thru the book , trying to learn what i missed 3 months ago, Trying to improve my bloody english.

If by chance ,after going through this blog, you think that my English is not so bad after all (which is improbable) as there are no spelling errors... u're wrong!
That's not a consequence of my studying English for the past 3 days , or my time in the english class...
It is wholly due to the invention of a software called "spell check".


That's why i ask - "Who invented the 'spell check' ? " - I love him!

Friendship?

Hi mates!

Each time i search for a topic to write a blog about, someone or the other puts up a GOOD question and i find it difficult to resist my self and i end up here in front of the PC - typing.

I was browsing the net without any true purpose.
Boredom was all over me. So bored that even a class of algebra would have seemed exciting! (ah... i think that was over exaggeration... but i guess u get a feel of my situation!)

I turned to facebook again.
It didn't fail me this time either.
I caught up with a friend on chat.
It started off with those same old traditional questions ... how are u? all's well ... blah blah blah... (i don't get the purpose of these questions actually! Do you think a person suffering a life threatening disease wud be there chatting with u?? then where's the need of the question ... "how are u?").

To be honest i myself asked those very questions out of formality if not out of care!
Same old questions... Same old answers!

But my friend has always been a bouquet of surprises.
She kept up her reputation.
the chat changed moods... topics were into territories which few would CHAT about.

"What is the most important thing for u in life?", She asked.
I still dont know the answer... but i replied that my friends were my biggest strenghts...

That led to the question which prompted me to write this blog ...
"Define friendship."
This chat was getting as tough as a chemistry viva!

Friendship .... i wondered...


Friendship .... i wondered again!...


Nothing solid came to my mind but the faces of the mischievous boys and the calm looking girls...

Friendship...

Making our mates pay for our cooldrink, riding on their bike, playing with them, and those ever lasting gappas ...
Is that friendship?

If i had my way, that would be the definition of friendship in the Oxford dictionary.

But as always... I never have my way...


"Friendship is a mutual relationship wherein the two (or more) involved have a feeling of trust , love and affection between them." I read in the dictionary.

If you didn't understand what is written above... Dont worry - I'm with you!

Yaar, friendship is that where u are comfortable with ur friend.
U help your friend , your friend helps you.
U share joy or happiness with him/her and ready to listen to their sorrows.
U always trust your friend without a second thought.
(don't think i'm getting too emotional or something... I'm still normal)

Friendship is that which remains when one has lost everything else!

well that's my reply to the question my friend asked, i guess.

Apart from all this, there's one thing I realized while writing this blog...
...

...

...

...


"FRIENDSHIP CAN'T BE DEFINED "




*That gives u an indication ... this blog was actually pointless, as the question it revolved about goes unanswered!





The time machine has been INVENTED!

hi mates!

A few days back i was talking to a class 2 child.
Somehow , the question arose... "what would u like to become when u grow up Daksh?".
He said "I want to become a scientist... I will invent the Time machine!".
This statement from a little kid startled me. It startled me for 2 reasons.
1. that there are a few kids today (very few though) who aspire to be scientists and not cricketers or actors.
2. It brought to my mind the question which many ask - "Can time be captured?Can it be brought under the control of us,Humans?"

Why are we so eager to develop a TIME MACHINE?
Is it because we want to get rid of our bad times quickly?
or spend ages when we are happy?
or is it because we do not have the courage to meet a few circumstances but love the times when we are at our peaks?

Well... I don't care what the reason is.
We just want a time machine and we can't wait for Daksh to bring that around!

Later the same day, i caught up with one of my old friends on facebook chat.
I had never seen her for a long long time , but yet we chatted like we had always done ,years ago. The poems we wrote, the class debates, group activities of primary school all came dashing into my memory like a flash flood and wiped me off.
The class used to decorated the class room on the teacher's birthday with all craft-stuff and i was forced to sit in a corner. I never got a chance to prove my talent in crafts!( I had none , so no regrets!)
We used to have inter class drama competitions among the three sections ...
Our class invariably ended up 2nd. I thought that was the best position to be in - not loosers and not winners.
Speaking of drama we had lots of it in school.
Some are those which you would have no interest reading about...
and others personal - which i would not like to talk about....
which ever may be the case talking about them is not necessary...

More important is the fact my old friend had taken me back in time.
She had converted my modest scratchy PC into a time machine which took me long back in time.

My dear Daksh... if you ever read this... the TIME MACHINE has already been invented!!

Mates if u ever get a chance to transform this very computer into a TM , please dont hesitate... Try it ... u'll love it!!

Ideal books for iitjee

Hi mate!
If you try to count the number of books available for iit jee in the market you might count till the end of your life.
I thought i'll sort a few things out.
Here's a list of the best set of books for iitjee preperation.
* I dont say studying these books will assure your selection in the iits but it'll surely make it easier!

Maths:
1.Calculus : Amit Agarwal (arihant publications) Differential and Integral calculus.

2.Co-ordinate , Algerbra , Trigo : M.L Khanna

Physics:
1.HC Verma
2.DC Pandey (objective)
(DC pandey subjective is also a good book , but not needed)

Chemistry:
1.Physical : RC Mukherji
2.Inorganic: CBSE text book and OP Agarwal (*not OP Tandon)
3.Organic : Jagdamba Singh (without ambiguity)

Tip : many have the notion "lots of books = High ranks". that's rubbish.
just stick to one book per topic. If you pick up say organic, stick to one book and dont try to switch.

Brilliant's YG file and FIITJEE's GMP is recommended if you dont go for any coaching classes.

All the best for your preperarions.

IIT JEE and AIEEE

Finally the competitive exams have come to an end with only BITS left among the important entrance exams.
preparing for iit jee / aieee is a tough job. one has to keep up the pace , precision , and perfection during the entire 2 year duration of preparation for the exams.
during my entire 2 year course at "RJ Brothers education" , Vadodara i have learnt so much.
if you are a class 11 or 12 student , u may want to read my blogs in the immediate future as i would be posting what one should and what one shouldn't during his/her preperation.
i would be doing a bit of research and telling the iit aspirants what they should be studying and how they should go about the preparations.

* if u are thinking as to who i am,
well i am a class 12 student who has done quiet well in iit and aieee.
