Arun I second your thoughts. But you know life is so complex. Do not berate yourself. There may be some thing else you have in you that needs to come out and shine. Good luck.

Hi Arun, Even I wish I could have so much hunger for success. Things wouldhave been lot easlier than this guy. We mush resopect him for his will power.To be honest, I couldnt have thoguht ofeven stating to study in a romm with no electircity and 6 members shrng the room.
To this young man and his family who have persevered through all odds to achieve this height. And if any one deserves the benefits of reservation, it is diligent young people from economically weaker families like this, not sons and daughters of professionals and Class 1 officers, who enjoy such aprivilege by virtue of their being born to people who achieved their present status by availng of the opportunites extended by reservation. May I dare to ask what the sons and daughters of these reserved category professionals and Class 1 and 2 officers lack in life compared to their upper caste compatriots? Should people from economically disadvantaged families be accorded the benefits or those whose families have achieved status already by availing of such benefits?
Very inspirational. Goes to show what hard work and determination can achieve. I hope he dosn't see IIT as the culmination of his dreams by just the beginning of it
