IIT Roorkee #3


Competition never ends for anyone. If you are good then others may be better, and you have to prove your worth in that case not only to every one but also for self-satisfaction. In today's world the need is not of money, not of fame and not of being the best, everything is achievable so easily only if we learn to believe in ourselves. This is the key, the success of the world as a whole in every field lies here.
Being here at IIT Roorkee, I have found people striving for knowledge, striving to be the best. Some achieve it, some fail, some give it a reason Some are happy in where they are, some think that they were meant to be somewhere else. There is a saying :- The winner is not the one who always wins, but the one who never loses.
IIT Roorkee has shown some nice talent all around the world, some examples that lie on the walls of the university. The competition has always been high out here, young talented intellectual crowd has made it one of the top T-institutes of the world. The view of the main building of IIT Roorkee is like entering in heavens. Every year a lot of people intern outside, do projects prepare research papers. We do not leave any opportunity that comes to us to show its worth.
Top class infrastructure, nice professors, green campus, and many other attractive things have now forced even the dataquest, a magazine with results that come directly from surveys to the inside of the institutes have rated our institute at rank 3 in all of Indian T-Schools. I think the institute has always deserved it. We are no less than professionals.
I provide you with the link of the same:

On the other hand it does not require installation just download and enjoy playing.

the best feature of the game is that its only 96Kb.Are you joking, 96 Kb and quake 3 graphics, but that's why the two freaks, the developers of the game, joey and chaos got the German Developers Award.Try out its really an interesting game to play. The graphics might attract you to finish chapter 1 in one go.

The Nuclear Deal!!



As we all know the nuclear deal is all set to begin its consequences over the future of India, the 123 agreement. Such a decision requires an ample amount of thinking, not only about why but even the consequences that India could face. Its like we should never look back to the road not taken.
Such a debate is unending, cause we have as many strong reasons to approve than to disapprove.
But yes!! no one can disapprove the fact that this nuclear deal will lead us to somewhere at a better future. The scarcity of the non-renewable sources of energy has compelled us to opt for the choice. For a sustainable future and stable economy of the country the deal had to be sanctioned.
Though we had reasons against the thing also. Like signing the deal with the U.S. shall definitely make it able to serf the countries dependent over it for the reactors, fuel, cost,etc. According to the deal, U.S. will be the sole repository and all the import export routes related to the deal has to pass via Washington.
The most important thing of concern is that the deal has already done a lot of damage among the Indians. The relations between the U.P.A govt. and the Left front has risen to a far greater level than it had ever been since last two decades. There exists an environment of cold war between the two, much after 22nd July when the bundles of money were displayed in the Parliament. Though the deal might prove useful, the consequences won't allow us to use the opportunity to its peak.The logic of destabilizing a government for the sake of an international pact defies all political wisdom.
Among all this chaos may not we forget the most important issue of the Energy crises. Another possibility can be shifting towards using the renewable sources of energy. We are still not utilizing it to the optimum level. And India being a vast country holds a lot of these sources. Though its not possible to apply it on a large scale much due to the cost factor and the efficiency provided by the systems wont be high as well. Motivated by swades, I believe the remote areas and the villages can be installed with small energy stations for fulfilling this purpose. I actually mean that we should not completely depend on the Nuclear deal to follow.Now we just have to see what dominates, the Indo U.S. deal or the Intellectual Ingenuity of the Indians.

The Friendship's Day


What does it feel to be a friend, a true friend. Actually the first question has to be " Who according to you is a friend?". Someone who helps us when we actually need it, Someone who cares for us, Someone who tells us what is good and what is bad, Someone.........!!.....
These are the most obvious answers.
I tell you what I feel a friend is. A friend is someone crazy. Someone who does not express how much he loves you, but makes it for you to forcefully feel that you are the one.Someone who knows your week points, and attacks you over there just to make you a better and stronger human. A friend is all one needs to be happy in life, To share everything means everything. Who makes happiness double and shares our sorrow. A friend is someone who one day makes you feel at the top of the world and that he is the one, your lucky charm.

I never took the Friendship day so seriously till now. Just a day, but no from now its a day more than it was.Its a day to express yourself to your friend your own feelings. A friendship band counts every moment we were together making the world a better place to live in. It does not matter if you don't have much friends, but the one you have should be your exemplar.

A toast to all such friends of mine..........................

A jump in confidence....!!


If hard work is the key to success, then may Anju Bobby George feel it in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She has been working out for a better performance in the Olympic Games still being disappointed about not being able to cross the 6.70m barrier since 2005.

Anju George, one of the finest woman long jumpers of the world ranks 16, the highest ranked Indian Athlete, male or female. She has been showing consistently good performances in the International events every year. Her contribution for the medals on Indian side deal with the Silver she won in World Athletics final in Monaco with 6.75m as her best. She was at 6.83m in the Athens Olympics. According to her, she has always shown better performances in the major championships every year, and this is the reason she is looking forward for a medal in the Beijing Olympics this year.

Olympics have always been an opportunity to show the athletic skills worldwide. Though being the seventh largest country in the world, India has never shown up something it should have in the Olympics. We are not able to evolve the athletic spirit in the new generation to make the country proud.

The difference between the developed and the developing has to be understood for India to reach its goal of being a developed country. Each and every one should see himself/herself as the one who is born to show his/her worth in any way one can. Everyone is here for a particular reason, when you find that reason just don't look anywhere accept the eye of the bird, you will win the game before even playing it.
