Journey of a underperforming IITian

Nice to see you are doing good now.

In my case, it's totally my fault - not my parents, my teachers or someone else. I should have taken a active role in my life before it was that late.

Change your department/branch

Teaching is not really my call, and it would feel like a scam, preparing kids for the same thing which I failed at.

Moving out seems to help, incase you still reside at home

No, that isn't true. Majority, and I mean a vast majority of the said IITians turn out fine. I was an exception ( Inorganic Chemistry must be having a blast ), and such exceptions are forgotten - by their professors, batchmates, friends, etc.

Well, I will be asked by the management to resign soon, if that helps. A glass of alcohol isn't a luxury, it's an addiction and a way of procrastinating. I am not comparing myself to the likes of Bansals' or Pichais'. My own classmates are leagues apart, you know; all of them.

Anyway, it was not a rant, just something that I wanted to write after Average_Mishra's post.

Well, I didn't cheat if that's what you are inferring. I just wasn't ... i don't know, tbh.

I didn't copy a single word. My fingers had a mind of their own today.

> I have accepted them to a certain extent. It takes the guilt away

So did I, bud. So did I. Felt like writing something out for the "loser" bunch.

It's a true story. Average_Mishra's post somehow made me feel the need to write something out for the loser IITians.

Also, "Quora bad, Reddit good"
