3 idiots

Forewarning:- By any chance if you haven't watched this movies then stop here itself. There might be some spoiler. But if you are a regular HINDI movie goer, I wouldn't call that as suspense anyways.

3 Idiots? That's just for the the name sake. Reality is something different. But why why why? Why this happens only in movies? Hero wins all as usual and hero is the best of lot. Now coming to few points about movie and loopholes:-

1) Ground work about the engineering could have been done at higher level. Movie forgot important fact that night before the exam is most sacred of all your semester night. If you do not study on this night, no one can save you from failing. In engineering terminology, the amount you devoted a night before the exam is directly proportional to the marks which you will obtain. With threshold differing from person to person, for some its 1 am for some its 5 am. A night before exam in hospital not studying, you can pass but certainly not top until you are in the exception list. More about exceptions will come in point three.
2) No one join engineering thinking about insane ideas like knowledge and learning. Students are immature and their minds are not corrupted with words like Value and Learning. Everyone join it for job and recognition of degree. Leave the terms like value addition, learning etc for MBA aspirants and PHD Scholars.
3) Those who are topper are mostly non-fun kinda people who have a bypass for rule number 1. Because they have devoted all day and night to studies and preparing notes and have read the theory so many times that they can even teach their children after 30 years without looking at book, . And these noble souls are the one whose notes, oops xerox is going through hands of 99% to-be engineer. No offense meant to toppers. In fact everyone will praise you highly entire life for your notes which made those 99% lot getting engineering degree. You were like saints who never thought about wordly desire and gave life for the greater cause - well being of mankind, a philanthropist I should say.
4) Dare to give counter reply to your professor, you can be sure of one thing between two - egoistic, insane and ahole prof/lecture is highly pissed off and will either complain about you to Dean or will make every attempt to screw you while checking your exam papers. However good you are but you won't be topping like Rancho.
5) Names? My goodness, dude how did you came till this far. Children though less known for cruelty but are nonetheless most brutal at emotional level, names like Ranchor Das Chanchad will be hot cake. :D Forget about Schooling for a while engineering will definitely carry some funny name(and may be butt of all jokes) for you rather than being Rancho like some hot dude.
6) Taking cuts at your director, leave lecturer or even professor, but director?? and director needs reason to rusticate you out of college? And pressurize others to stand against you? Dude - day one, one Disco (Disciplinary Committee) And Day two, you will get lucky and OUT!!! Immediately Out of Hostel minimum and suspended from college. College prof takes pleasure in doing such things, one such example in my knowledge, merely for playing Holi(A festival) with no college property loss or physical or mental abuse to prof ,18 noble souls where rusticated from the hostel and suspended from the college for week along with fine. But again these are the things which makes the college life exciting and adventurous. Definitely after coming out not when in college and while passing through such mental trauma.
7) Committing suicide? That too for studies or year back? Cm'on I have seen people partying hard when they had year back and over it 17/18 arrears (fail grade) out of 19 subjects in year. No one commit suicide. Everyone is damn happy. But yeah after coming out engineers are the one who run through identity crisis and may think about suicide all the time. No one in sane mind would give so much importance to studies when in engineering college. Or may be people are camouflaging their suicide by reasons like not able to learn google wave.
8) Real time project? Which world are you leaving in? Are you sure you was talking about Indian engineering? No one works on new idea, they are left for masters degree holder or doctoral candidates. I have seen people taking fake report and fake presentation to get the final degree.
9) Well its not the case that engineering degree from low end college like my college was/is only like this. Even IIT's are like this. Please do not defend on the basis of ranking if it was comparable to IIT's or not . It would still be BS for me.
10) Aha forgot the most important thing, Doing such stunt in ragging? haha, one thing you can be sure of right away - you are not studying in this college for sure.
11) Director complained about the student's performance to his/her parent and talk harshly saying their ward will not get the degree because of poor performance and next day guy found dead as he committed suicide and still police is not arresting the director?Where is media? This is totally bad, you should show some reality in movie.
12) Beautiful girls in engineering college are like rare engineering concepts which will stick to your brain cells when professor is giving lecture, I mean near to nil(for god sake, do I need to tell it again and again). And they going for Chanchad? As in Ranchor Das Chanchad? That's complete insanity and height of fantasy. Girls do go after rich kids but atl east not Chanchad, or probably I am ill-informed. Hey, no offense meant to reader who is unfortunately Chanchad.or have best friend as Chanchad. Anyway, Some great writer had said, "What In Name" but unfortunately he added his signature as Shakespeare so that no one else can own it. hehe

This post was written so that people do not get wrong idea about engineering portrayed by 3 idiots. hehe. Well, I can write tons and tons of matter about engineering and its greatness no need to give proof about it. ;-)

Good movie, a must watch. Low comparing Amir's standard but still can be seen. Dialogs are good in fact would call the best, because even after watching it once, dialog would stick to your mind like mischievous engineering plan's. To end, go and see this movie, because baad mein sochoge ki, accha review the movie ka, hall mein lagi bhi thi, bus ticket black mein mil rahi thi, lekin fir bhi thodi si himmat karke thode aur rupye deta to ticket mil jaati aur movie dekh leta. (Translation, though will nto make much sense : Go and see the mvoie, because you may regret later that movie review was good, it was running as well in the cinema hall, tickets were being sold in double or triple cost, but if would have given some more money would have got the opportunity to watch the movie on big screen)

P.S. :- Its not easy degree but not tough as well. Anyways, engineers always work on the concept of Rockets. Do not start work until your ass is on fire. ;-)

P.P.S : - On serious note, if Aamir/Directors would have taken note of all 12 points and boring stuff about engineering, you wouldn't have had been watching this movie N'th time in same week.

P.P.P.S : - (Disclaimer)Whole post was written on lighter note, and shouldn't be taken seriously. If any of my comment hurt your emotions, please leave your comments in comments section I would edit that part.

P.P.P.P.S : - And here I make world record for my own blogs by posting post notes after post notes. And reason is, its tough to be in real world and have to write disclaimer to make people aware that I can make the change if they did not like anything (Only if ,you think I am trying to defame you).

2009

When the end of this year is fast approaching people have started thinking about the things which they did in last one year, so do I and this retrospection gave some astonishing revelation., not all is coming here.

This year was happening both at personal as well as professional front. This year there were many moment when I wanted to come to my blog and write something but somehow or other I failed to do it. And at the same time it happened first time since I started writing that, I wrote one post every month, though not useful sometimes. Loosing at SPJ call to winning new role in my job, Organized and stable in job to unorganized and screwed career plan, Feeling of standing nowhere to ecstasy of achieving something, loosing out contacts with old friends to making shallow attempt to make new friends ; all seems standing side by side and leave with a awkward sense of being lost. Though I was passionate about writing, but seems that is also dying slowly and now is struggling to write, not sure if I would be writing anymore including the gibberish stuff. One thing which was done consistently was nagging and the procrastinating attitude, which are the main cause for slow progress. Time demands a change, but being a neophobic it would be a tough call. But sooner or later have to go through it before I get caught by stagnancy.
