Internet is Jhakaas

The World is here on Internet, Where are you?

Have you ever been through the feeling of missing someone? Are you missing someone?
No matter what your answer would be for the above question but I can simply tell you that there is one and only one thing on this planet which I've missed more than anything else.

Can you guess what it is? No its not a girl, its not something from the materialistic world, it is something which is well-known to each and everyone out here. Yes, you guessed it right.. Its Facebook :-)

And, her is the reason why I am writing on this topic. Let me start it form the very basics.
My Father is Government Services (working under UP State Government). This enables us to get a direct 20% discount on all products from the government Telecom company better known as BSNL aka Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. Now How on this world would like miss such an opportunity...
This fact led us to get a Broadband Connection from BSNL. It was an unlimited plan whose cost was INR 750 (without tax). And, after discount, it was just a matter of INR 600 for us to enjoy high-speed internet.
We went for it, but only on the third day, it started troubleshooting giving us super-frame error and low connectivity.
In the mean time, I also opted for a GSM Prepaid connection from Etisalat DB. It was also too cheap but bad in quality (Yes, I really mean Bad). And then striked me a plan..
I opted for something which got me rid of both of them.
Yes, I opted for the MNP(Mobile Number Portability Service) and converted my number to Vodafone (It costed me 0 bucks to do so because they gave this service free). The MNP was finished in just 4 days.
And, Secondly after getting tired from they bad service, I activated Vodafone 3G internet packed plan and now With Vodafone, Internet is fun
Earlier, I wasn't even able to watch a single Video on YouTube without buffer even at quality of 240p and now with Vodafone, I can easily watch live streaming of IPL on YouTube that too on High definition of 480p and above.

Not extending it over, I would simply say that Hats Off to Vodafone for giving em such a nice Internet Experience. Now Even I can say, Internet is Fun.

Engineering is now a 6 year Offense

People say Engineering (B.Tech / B.E.) is a pressure cooker of 4 year which is too difficult to be cleared. The number of subjects we study, the classes we have, the assignment, quizzes and everything we go though in this span of 4 years is too tedious. Also its high on cost to do it.
But gone are the days, when Engineering used to be a 4 year course, now it is a 6 year offense because the competition has increased to such an extent that for getting admission into a good college it has almost become the need of hour to get into some kind of coaching ( like the well-known FIITJEE, VMC,Bansal, Resonance o VMC) because its a race where people are ready to do anything to win.
But alas, there also comes the Jinn of Money because the fees they are charging is even more than what premier engineering students charge.
I won't name it but an institute is charging a Six digit fee per year (in INR). Oh, my god does this mean that Its not possible for middle class society to get their children indulged into engineering?
Yes, In five year or so, there won't be many a featured story of street children getting into engineering.
