Well, though i don't know u, but still I hv heard life in IIT is very interesting, studing till late night, visiting canteen at 2 am and other stuff.Well it sounds similar to what i read in a book by Chetan Bhagat - "Five Point Someone:What not to do at IIT".Well i wonder if it's mere fiction or reality ???left to u to answer.Neways nice blog !
