The days they speak it’s only arguing and proving whose right with justification and trying to make the other understand that I am right.
A striking pain in the heart a deep sound you want to cry tears flowing out making the eyes moist and the cheeks all red a deep sad feeling no words to express when you look into your bag full of memories of last night. A night which bought along with it the loud thundering storm the lightning which stuck the sky making it bright before it became completely dark. The dark grey clouds covering the sky making it even more darker than before and in all this the thunder storm and shower of rain the electricity the only form of illumination in the room goes and the young lady sits with her head ducked down on her bed in complete darkness. The darkness within her is so strong that it engulfs the entire place and all she has is darkness so much so that even her own self is not visible to her until she touches her hand to realize where her hand is.
Its from this darkness and sadness she looks to see where she is and how she reached this state. She goes deeper and deeper and suddenly the bright light shone on the vibrant colorful day happiness overloaded in everything around her it was her marriage day. She could see herself decked up in the most beautiful attire of bright magenta dress and loaded with gold jewellery sparking as the light fell on it. The house filled with all the relatives and friends enjoying the celebration of the deep bond between Radha and Hari who have been the childhood friends and now taking the plunge to strengthen the bond and give it the name of Marriage. In all the glory they get married and move to the big city from their small town to start a life together filled with love and joy. The years passed by and they start the journey in the city struggling to make the ends meet with both of them working hard and getting engrossed in their hectic life leaves them with little or no time for each other.
This pattern is so much that at times days pass by they have not spoken more than a few words to each other. The days they speak it’s only arguing and proving whose right with justification and trying to make the other understand that I am right. Both on the journey that am correct am right and am making the relationship work. This continued for another few months and a year later the huge blow came to Radha‘s Life. Hari came home today and announced his final decision of walking out of the relationship leaving Radha stunned and frozen.
The night has passed and clouds have flown past her sky. The orange sun is out in full bright and brightens the room and she can feel her breathing becoming normal and now she gets up startled looking around at the room and is awakened to feeling that life is not over. Puts on loud happy music dances away and yells in happiness thanking her stars it was a Dream!

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.
