It is a great privilege to born and grow in the democratic country like Indian where I have the full right of freedom, speech etc. which some country does not have. So in some contests I consider myself to be lucky enough that I bought up in such a atmosphere where after every 5 years essence in the year turns different make you feel alive and active part in the crores of population. Such privileges are given to each and every individual of India to be a part of the growing nation and become a better citizen and work for the progress and growth of the country. Today I got the opportunity to use one of my right for the first time and I was very much enthusiastic to use the same. I cast my vote today to elect my leader who I hope will look after the welfare of the people and bring out the truth inside ''Democracy is government of the people, for the people and by the people'.

Mid-Sems are over but hunt for Internship will not and the frustration of Mid-Sems and no interns for NON CSE guys is comng out through Anonymous Blogs (one of them is Alia Cisy IITK-I m n't afraid of anything) and the truth proved to be bitter for some guys.

Although  I think the matter is settled now, everyone enjoyed that and I guess the blog was meant for fun purpose only and the motive was not to hurt someone's feeling and the views presente

First of all Happy Friendship Day to all my friends, friends of friends and so on. This friendship day was a kind of different for me as I spent most of the time in travelling. I went to Malpura this Saturday for police verification of passport. I went inside the police station for the very first time in my life although the reason was not serious. Due to lot of travelling in very little time and prevailing illness I started feeling feverish. To attend Monday classes to mark my presence in attendance sheet and not to miss any surprise quizzes I decided to return on Sunday itself and went to railway station of "Pink City"  half an hour before the schedule despite of feeling not well. I went straight to platform 3 at which 12988, ALL SDAH was expected to arrive on scheduled time. Thanks to Almighty I was lucky this time that Indian railways broke my record as my train arrived at right time for first time, in all other previous instances whenever I travelled by train, Indian
