IIT for me

Ok, guys and gals, my habit of thinking from the roots and to start from the basics, lands me into a situation where I am trying to think, and figure out, what is IIT and about queries like- Why am I here? Where do I go? and about an endless list of such questions which might appear uncalled for, at the surface. Why are IITs so successful? Probably because it gets the best students and the best teachers, almost the best facilities, and so we are expected to give out the best. But what am I here for, certainly not because my dad is an IIT-ian, even though its a major reason, its not the only one. Maybe, what I have heard about IIT, at home , at school and within friends....inspired me to be able to be here, but the reason I am here is coz God wants me to be here. And I take this opportunity with opens arms, hoping to make the best out of it. Where do I go from here? could be anywhere, absolutely anywhere....maybe a good job, or further studies and the a job, maybe a company of my own, but it doesn't really matter to me at this point of time. I am here at IIT Delhi, and its the process that I am going to enjoy, "karm kiye ja, phal ki ichha mat kar" - I love this quote. The "phal" is actually the power to be able to do my "karm" properly, and let me tell you, its a great feeling.
So, IIT for me, means great fun(including the one I get even when I am studying). It means a lot. It means the experience of a lifetime, an opportunity to explore, to expand, to enjoy.........and I started doing all three of them in my first month at IIT. Thank you everyone who has helped me to be here, and to realize my dream. Thank you
