Five Point Someone: "What not to do at IIT"




 Have you heard or much better watched the movie "3 Idiots"?

It is an Indian comedy-drama film released last 2009. The story of 3 students pursuing their engineering degree at Imperial College of Engineering, one of the best colleges in India. Ranchoddas "Rancho" Shamaldas Chanchad together with his friends Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogu are the three students whose the main characters in the movie. Being a student on the said university under the supervision of their college dean, Professor Viru Sahastrabuddhe a.k.a. 'Virus is like hell to them. Wanna know why? You better watch the movie for you to find out.

3 Idiots is also one of my favorite movies in my list. The movie that made me cry and laugh at the same time. The movie that captures my heart and made me keep mentioning the word "All is Well" right after I watched it. And after the movie what I did was, I researched the story on the internet. What I've found out, the movie was based from the book of Chetan Bhagat title "Five Point Someone – What not to do at IIT!" I've searched for the book online hoping that there's a PDF or any e-books where I can read the story. And luckily I've found one site and immediately read the book. Just like the movie, the story of the book is full of laughter and heart. The story is all about their friendship, their studies, their differences and ambitions. This is not a book to teach you how to live in college otherwise it describes how you messed up things can get if you're not that good while you're studying. I've looked and still looking for the book itself at our bookstores here and I guess I'm having a hard time finding it. But I'm hoping that I'll get one soon.
