The great Talisman

Everyone knows that the life is not a bed of roses; and here you find the experience of a denizen of IIT Kharagpur. A final year, who for the last three years always dreamed of reaching the elusive final year when there will be no more classes (or very few classes which you can bunk with the priviledge of being a final year), no further pressure of earning a CGPA and being the seniormost, you move with a consequential air.

If this was not enough, I see a mail today in my mailbox reminding me that I did some summer training which needs to be presented within a fortnight.

And, finally the thing which eludes every IITian...a dream job with a lucrative package, Trilogy is visiting us this weekend to see if we deserve to serve on their pay-roll. Not to mention, in this semester, I am supposed to some research work which is known as B.Tech Project. With all these worries in my head, I was desperately looking for a talisman, which I will like to share with all my brothers and sisters and it is

Whenever in doubt, quit.
