For the modern age where we just can’t accept a “NO” and being relegated to the friend zone can be the ‘worst’ thing a woman can do to a man…
Gone are the days when someone would be rejected for a romantic relationship and would distance themselves from the one who doesn’t feel that way, (think Devdas!) because they knew that the other person doesn’t owe them shit.
Welcome to a place in time where the one who refuses has wronged you and owes you a “yes”.
Here are some fun facts for those interested to explore the latest phenomenon, friend zone, which, unfortunately, does not really exist:

The friend zone is not the new equivalent of ‘unrequited love’. Unrequited love is “my unilateral crush is my problem”. Friend zone is “my unilateral crush is your problem”.

Let’s just stop calling Anjali from Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai a woman who got ‘friend-zoned’. Why? Because she didn’t complain about it.

Most of these ‘good guys’ are not even in the friend zone. They are in the “oh no not this guy again” zone.

When he says you ‘friend-zoned’ him and his friends bully you into “trying it with him,” tell him he is out of the friend zone. Tell him he just entered the ‘enemy-zone’.

Think getting ‘friend-zoned’ is bad? Imagine realising that your close friend only wanted to screw you all this time.

Be a ‘slut’ when you say yes. Be the one who ‘friend-zones’ when you say no.

Do women request men to stay in a zone called ‘friend’? No. They do that to themselves.

Children should be taught to aspire to be successful, but success doesn't have to mean an IIT admission only!
Imagine studying for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 whole years for the JEE exam only to find out that there’s only a very, very slim chance of getting into an IIT. It is a fact widely acknowledged that the IIT-JEE is one of the toughest exams not just in India but in the whole world. Apart from IITs, the NITs and IIITs of India also accept the JEE scores for admission. There are said to be a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs and 25 IIITs across the country.
Now, let’s first get a few facts about the IITs right. First, according to the NIRF rankings of 2023, only 17 IITs rank in the top 50 engineering colleges of India and only a few (around 5) IITs are in the list of the world’s top 100 engineering colleges. Second, the dropout rate of IIT-qualifying students stands at least at 20%, with reasons being cited ranging from academic pressure and unmanageable workload to caste discrimination and high levels of competition within the IIT.
So, it’s quite clear that the journey of making it through IIT is as challenging as the journey of getting into an IIT. Third and most important of all, the acceptance rate or the odds of getting into an IIT are below 3% which is a lot lower than the acceptance rate of highly and very highly ranked US universities. Four, getting into an IIT of one’s choice doesn’t mean one will also get into a branch of one’s preference at that IIT.
