9 point someONE ..



[ The latest read being 5 POINT SOMEONE . The narrator aimed the reader to feel tht hes reading his own story & for sure he got me. It seemed to be so me in the book .... the only differences being

1. I m not an IITian
2. I m not a 5 pointer
3. I dont have a girl ]

This is a story of a 9 pointer [ grr does it matter ]. Got an admission in an institute which was then striving to be a premiere institute of India [ and to the best of my badluck & damngood indian politics .... it left tht strive & no more longs to rise to the apitome of technology & management ]. People used to ask why did he choose this institute .... wht the heck .... it was never chosen .. we never have a choice here in India .. U only get it .. nothing choosing. All u need to do is work ur ass out & come up with some good AIR .... but hard work was nevr there in my dictionary.

And therefore it does signify tht to be a 9 pointer does not mean tht u need to work ur asses out. Atleast not here. MAy not in any other institute leaving the IITs. Rather i wud say tht its MUGGING every where. The only difference is tht in IITs they do it most of the times .. and here its ocassional .... rather the examination night only. So all i have managed through 9 is by being in to best of my senses .... mug up the right things .... vommitting them right there .... and may be lots of luck.

But then have i been such a "9 point JERK someone" all my life .... definitely not .... i almost always wished to be the TOPPER one(rather the CREEPY ones). But this desire was never backed up by HARDWORK. MAy be i never believed in hardwork & may be even today i dont believe in it ....I know i havent done one till now. I ditched my parents dream of seeing me in to IITs. Umm wasted most of their efforts & hardwork. And all i cud manage to keep them happy & a bit satisfied is a 9 point something.

As an individual .. I wish to be a STUD .... dont knw wht this word actually means. But all i understand frm this is being nearly PERFECT. ATleast being at the Top of ur world & ur Dreams. If i see FEDERER .. i wish i was a GOOD tennis player ..[ i nevr feel being a CRICETER .. they SUCK ]. If i see TRENDZ [ a fashion channel of ZEE ] i wish to be a FASHION DESIGNER ... and this feeling is stronger. When i write i wish to be a NOVELIST. Presently i m in to Engineering but i have never dreamt to be a good engineer. Rather i never came to a conclusion on wht a GOOD ENGINEER is all abt.

I long for a girl to be in my life .... to be a part of it .. but people think tht i m a so called DEVDAS [ and i hate being called so ]. I wish to undrstand loVe. But all went in vain .. and there r very less expectations now.

So i guess till now life has not been worth it .. except from the fact tht i belong to a very LOVABLE family .. i have the BEST parents .... considerate BROTHERS .... and a hell lota caring friends around me. Isnt it enough ?? Or am i demanding too much ??

So being a 9 point someone is easy but not coooool enough. U have better things in life to care for. As RYAN [ one of the characters ] says it :: " Life is much more then this system and its foolish policies. Its the AGE of fun & enjoyment. Its the AGE to live, love & make life feel worth LIVED " [ lol ... the quote is mine .. i just used the character name .. though he conveys a similar idea ].


SOme excerpts from the book :::::

There is a reason wht they say men shoud not cry, they just look so, like , ugly.

There r times in life u wish dinosaurs werent extinct and cud be whistled to come & gulp u down

Its hard to say NO to pretty girls or to ice-cream.

Girls loVe laughing at their own jokes.

It is funny how ur mind comes up with questions.DAmn it, it is up to the mind to come out with the answers, so why cant it just keep its doubts to itself ?

hi nine point someone,the book was entertaining n guys can draw an instant connection to it.
It is a mockery on the indian education system,about friendship,about survival of the smartest,lots of emotions.
hey wait a minute.. were u trying to mimic that pink floyd and vodka combo??

Bowing to the lord of one night study and best results....

Well the thing abt Five Point Someone is tht it has all gudy-gudy end.

Whereas in truth, life aint tht considerate...so just gotta keep fightin...life and all these feelings.
