Shaon Malik was just 21 Yrs of age.
He was a topper of his batch of the electrical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. He was in 3rd year. He was academically gifted and used to score 9+ cgpa. For the reference , my cgpa was between 6-7.5 for the entire duration of BTech. He was part of Bengali Dramatics society and was very active in extra-cocurricular activities.
😭He was found hanging by the iron grill of the window of his hostel room.
He was a resident of Azad Hall of Residence. It is just near the trinity of Azad, Patel and Nehru halls.
❤️🩹It breaks my heart to read such news. What could have been wrong with the boy. He looked neither academically stressed nor lonely.
✍️Indian education system and society have to look within and stop pressuring our sons and daughters to such high expectations.
Really disturbed reading this news.
Alma Matters: Inside the IIT Dream
Alma Matters: Inside the IIT Dream on #netflix is a must watch for everyone, specially for students from #iitkharagpur
Few points where I connected the most are:
1. Some 6 pointers called #Chaggi are so chilled out. I was one of them. Our gang enjoyed a lot. We had our fears deep within. But somehow did not get intimidated or consumed by that.
2. ILLU is the most beautiful and unique feature of IIT Kharagpur. It can not be found elsewhere on this planet.
3. The pressure during placements is real, and extremely stressful. Few of us struggled to get placed even after a month. And we waited for our opportunity. I sat in 15 Interviews. Almost lost the confidence in myself. Ironically, I am a very vocal, extrovert and super confident person.
4. Depression and stress is prevalent. Some show it, some manage it and some quit the life on it. I met one of the batchmate in Patna. We greeted and talked. He had scored 7.6 SGPA. I had scored 6.2, After 15 days, I got the news that he committed suicide. And I remember what he said when we met: Yaar, 7.6 thik hai, ghar wale chahte hain ki kam se kam 8.5 to aaye.
5. I personally know some friends who were extremely good in Coding, and we called them Gods. A few were so engrossed in video game called #CounterStrike that they failed in semester exams, got year back, got late placements yet they are doing so well in life. I know few people who were careless, managed to get their Degree, later became serious in life and became civil servants.
6. Gurukul setup of IIT KGP makes it unique, unlike other campuses. I have been to IIT Bombay and have seen how different it is from IIT Kharagpur.
7. I always believed that some of my batchmates are good in studies and will get success based on that. I am more capable in other aspects, and will get success when my time comes. Success is very subjective, although. The message in the series is clear. You are unique, so is your journey. Embrace it. Do not fear failure. Failure should not consume you. When I look back and suggest you to look back, then you will realise, success or failure are part of journey. IIT makes you resilient. If you are ready, open your arms, you can conquer the world.
I always wanted to write a book on IIT Kharagpur and the life that we enjoy there. It was meant to be realistic like Gangs of Wasseypur. Not like Half Girlfriend of Chetan Bhagat. I am happy that this series on Netflix does some service in that direction.
Beautiful Creation by the team. Congratulations !

I will create a video on my YouTube channel for more comments on this series and life in IIT Kharagpur.
अच्छी लगती हो
अच्छी लगती हो
सावन की रिमझिम में
भींगे गेशुं लिए
अल्हड अदाओं से
जब इतराती हो तुम
अच्छी लगती हो.
पंकज नयनों से मुस्कुराकर
रेशम सी लटों को
यूँ चेहरे पर गिराकर
अपनी कस्तूरी सांसों से
जब मदहोश करती हो तुम
अच्छी लगती हो.
दुपट्टे के कोने को
होठों से दबा
कनखियों से देख
जब मुस्कुराती हो तुम
अच्छी लगती हो.
जब मैं देखता हूँ तुम्हे
यह देखकर शरमाते हुवे
दुपट्टे का पल्लू
जब ठीक करती हो तुम
अच्छी लगती हो.
चांदनी रातों में
जब छत पर मुझे
चुपके से बुलाती हो तुम
बहुत अच्छी लगती हो.

इंजीनियर वो है
इंजीनियर वों हैं
जो अक्सर फसता है
साझात्कर के सवाल मे
बड़ी कम्पनी के जाल मे
बासँ और कलाइँट के बवाल मे,
इंजीनियर वो हैं,
जो पक गया है,
मीटिंग की झेलाई मे,
सबमिसन की गहराई मे,
टीमवर्क की चटाइँ मे
इंजीनियर वो हैं,
जो लगा रहता है,
सिडुयुल को फिसलाने मे
टार्गेट्स को खिसकाने मे
रोज़ नए नए बहाने बनाने मे
इंजीनियर वो हँ
जो लंच टाइम मे ब्रेंकफास्ट लेता है
डिनर टाइम मे लंच करता है , और
कोम्मुटेशन के वक्त सोया करता है
इंजीनियर वोह है
जो पागल है
चाय और समोसें के प्यार मे
सिगरेट के खुमार मे
बँढ्वाचिंग के विचार मे
इंजीनियर वो है
जो खोया है
रिमान्ड्र्सँ के जवाब मे
न मिलने वाले हिसाब मे
बेहतर भविष्य के ख्वाब मे
इंजीनियर वो है
जिसे इंतज़ार है
वीकएंड नाइट पर धूम मचने का
बॉस के छूटी पर जाने का
इन्क्रीमेंट की ख़बर आने का
इंजीनियर वो हँ i
जो सोचता है
काश पढ़ाई पर ध्यान दिया होता
काश टीचर से पंगा न लिया होता
काश इश्क न किया होता

Patel Hall, DTE (IIT Kharagpur): Lovely Memories
When i came to Patel Hall (famous for its terror in IIT Kharagpur) i never realized that it would give me never lasting memories.And then in wing DTE-known as D top east.Here i stayed for 3 years.We did loads of masti and fun.Now it feels that these 2 years were very short .Alas..!! i could have more years to spend here.
Patel Hall : Once a Patelian always a Patelian
These symbols/Logos define us
I am putting a short write up on our lovely wing DTE.
To recollect the past two years in DTE is nothing less than a journey. This has been a place which has housed 13 souls who have been extensively apart in their deportment and other aspects yet have been so very together throughout this period. When they joined hands together to come to DTE, there was nothing but promises of the marvellous days to look forward to. And beyond any sort of dubiety, it can be declared that the days spent here have given a lot to look back to for all the 13 souls who have inhabited this place.
Let us list some of the memorable things achieved in this wing:
- The “mid-wing conferences” on the cot in front of Sumit’s room…
- The Puri Trip in 3rd year winter…
- No dearth of photography sessions – camera in every room or the other…
- The “HP-wing”…
- Golu’s Anime affairs, much to the frustration of others…
- The gult songs blowing full volume in three rooms…
- The “watery” GPLs on birthdays…
- Mandal da’s endless funda sessions…
- The mega Job treats…
- The wonderful moments when the wing was painted with lovely caricatures and quotes…
- The highly acclaimed wing-treats to juniors and Hall mates at the end of it all…

Added and Updates on 11 March 2010
Out of these 13 STUDS 7 graduated in 2008 and remaining in 2009. Reason that these 6 were B.Tech + M.Tech students. So by Gods grace and luck they had another year of masti and fun. They wrote more interesting stuffs about themselves which is very hilarious and creative .This on line portal is archiving our great life spent in IIT Kharagpur.
Motive is that all the students who were in campus can relate with our fun filled life.Idea is that when we get older and look down the memory lane and visit this blog we get nostalgic.
I hope you Guys find this interesting and do not complain that your filthy past is being displayed here.
Have Fun and Blast !….

DESTINY
Have you ever participated in any contest lucky draw..??? if yes, then you will realize how fantastic is the experience.
From my childhood days i have fastination with these type of games, jackpot,lottery and all such types of stuffs.I have participated in many and hope that someday i will be a great winner.But till this date i have not been so fortunate.so i started believing that all these lottery thing is a total crap.
But when i was in intermediate i took part in a quiz competition organized by HINDUSTAN TIMES called BIHAR QUIZ CONTEST.The quiz used to be based on bihar and questions happend to be really tough one.so i used to search from many mazagines ,newpapers and then send entries.My close friends laughed at me and my craziness.but one day my name was published in the newspaper for being considered among best entries.then my friend got jealous of me and my instant success.
So now i started believing that yes success comes with a little bit of luck.but never believed on only and only luck.because i have never seen winning any thing out of total luck.
but today it happened…………………..
Today i was attending pre-placement talk(PPT) of a big software company called DE SHAW.after the talk was over they distributed some blank papers among all and asked to fill up.after that they collected that and said its a lucky draw.we have one gift and the most luckiest guy would get that.i joked that surely i am going to be that person.but ofcourse that was a joke.i was sitting with some of my friends and they were laughing on my statement.but soon the result was announced.the luckiest winner was my friend sitting beside me.He got an apple ipod of cost 9000/ Rs. we all were thrilled.and started dancing singing..making ho halllaaaa……….after that we draged him in the PARK restaurant and enjoyed dinner on his cash..
MORAL :if somebody close to you wins some lottery then you start believing that yes guys do get somthing so called jack pot.AND yes that must be in your destiny then only you can win..
[ I wrote this article when my friend got an APPLE iPod (in a lucky draw among 600 people) by DE SHAW- during presentation of the company before placements at IIT Kharagpur]
