Taking to writing after a long break...
Anybody not experiencing it can hardly imagine the pestering pressure that we are being kept under at IITK..but it's very disheartening that the faculties deliberately suppressed this point when raised in the faculty meeting..
I came here with a lot of hope to enjoy a good academic environment, but I must say that the curriculum is so loaded that my 2 month's stay over here has been far from pleasant...it's rather bitter..
Big implementation assignments always frighten me(I understand it's not a matter to take pride in)..but the tight deadlines and a multitude of assignments is exhausting me and,I'm afraid, I might shortly start to abhor studying.Many guys are of the opinion that there is a point in keeping you under this pressure..you end up learning something.Even if that is true,the process of learning is extremely painful..
I still remember the mental burden that I had in the week preceding the first mid semeter examination.The examination went awefully bad but as the result came out, I found that my relative score(which is what matters) has not been that bad..
Worse is that academic obligations have completely taken us up.We hardly find time for playing or even going through newspapers at some length.Monotony and exhaustion have spanned our life..
Looking forward to go to Kolkata in the Pujas.This break is very much needed..

humm i really hate the carriculum.....theres no point of giving so much pressure...ekjn kotota grasp korte pare setai matters at last...bt still we got 2 live wid it...however puja is comin so cheer up....
as i am not an IITan, its pretty difficult for me to comment on such a subject.But i personally feel that compulsion or obligation towards a certain task alienates a person no matter how much he/she loves that activity-its very basic human psychology.Even it is so in case of knowledge.If a person is oversaturated with it no thirst remains for its acquisition & a person ends up knowing much less than he otherwise would have coz to him the process of knowing bcoms bitter & monotonous.So I believe a blend of other activities in the curriculum makes the process of acquisition of knowledge more enjoyable.And moreover its not enough to learn sumthing.The knowledge is complete when one knows how to make use of that "sumthing" he/she has learnt about, in practical aspects of life. So a person should be provided with enough time to sit & realize the true essence of what he has really learnt. So not getting personal( towards a certain view or institution) i would like to say,Knowledge should be ones vehicle to the destination of humanity's wellfare, not a burden on the back of humanity with which humanity will stagger along.
