U obviously are not spending enough time studying, rather u focus on other activities that interest u. Nothing wrong wit tat but with ure talent u can comfortably score 75+ by just spending a little more time on studying. No need for wholesale change.

Remember u may have everything to succeed in another field but rght now u are studying engg. and make sure the mark list will not become a blot in ure resume.

You are not a mediocre student because you are but just because you choose to be so.

Anyways i admire ure blog and enjoyed ure posts. Keep up the good work!!!!

The fact that you're an NITian and your fabulous GATE score are enough testimony to your intellectual prowess and study skills. I'm not that intelligent (in the classic sense of the word), though! :P<br/><br/>And, yeah! I missed FOSSMeet thanks to a hurriedly-organized Class-tour which clashed with the dates. :-( Deepak Sir is one cool guy! I'm a great fan of his. @ hari:

Come on many hav done btr n u giv th honours to somethin tht i scribbled n in which i forgot half of what i'd to tell u! Anyways i feel th best was what's been given above ths comment. Th offer from someone to set u into th right path. Follow it if u feel its th right path. I've always been a strong believer that u don't need awesome marks to be good in life. Always th guys who ace in studies end up with a mediocre life. Its th one's who dared to defy conventions who reach th stars n shine down upon the world. Bt tht doesn't mean u completely shun ur studies n show th finger to th world. On a personal note i believe it's high time u stopped accumulating these back papers' i'd say this with even more stress coz u've equalled my record of 3 backs in B Tech. So stop right there buddy.
