The poetry in the smallest of things and in every emotion of the self.
Wordsworth defines a poet as a person of more comprehensive soul. A poet is different from others, because he/she has a more lively sensibility, and his/her emotions and passions are more enthusiastic, tenderer and more powerful. A poet has a greater knowledge of human nature, the poet is not only a social instrument but an individual, pleased with his/her own passions and volitions. The poet has a greater degree of imaginative power than others, a power of looking from heaven to earth and earth to heaven.
Poetry is the sliver of the moon lost in the belly of a golden frog.
Poetry is the opening and closing of the door ,leaving those who look through to guess what is seen during a moment.
Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.
It is the humming of a soul
a soul full of emotions
emotions, often hidden
hidden like desires with deeper longing
longings that have been swept away
away, into deep hearts, deeper than the ocean
Poetry is someone’s feelings,
feelings which are covert.
Covert like the heartbeats,
heartbeats full of thousand stories.
Stories full of memories,
memories of love, sadness and euphoria
Poetry is an incomplete song
a song for the world to comprehend.
It may evoke an experience
sometimes notional sometimes semantic
yet, it is not everyone’s cup of tea
It is the rhythm of the misunderstood.
It is the calling of the introverts.
It is the pulse of a dreamer.
a metaphor through a mirror.
a silent prayer to the divine.

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.
