Three letters IIT sometimes makes a lot of diff...
This article is a result of a chat i had with Amit Aggarwal an ex IITian who is the creator of 'mnemonic dictionary'
Everyday you read in newspapers that "Someone from IIT (or IIM) rejected big placement offer to do abc"
Some IITians are now authors of top selling novels {Chetan bhagat,Tushar raheja},many have started their own business,Some are rolling out projects like 'mnemonic dictionary' and 'vakow' and strangely some like Kaushalendra have even opted to sell vegetables.
They are rejecting huge pay packages to start with something that may not be very promising but 'IIT this three letter tag can easily get you media attention even if you haven't started anything great and once you are able attract media half of the work is done soon you'll get people who are ready to invest in your dreams.
But does that mean only IIT and IIM students think this way ? Well I won't agree to that, students in other institutions are also very creative and are full of ideas but they are not that lucky, i won't say that they don't get oppurtunity but they are actually blindfolded and they don't see it and this is because the environment in most of the institutions is not compititive. Copying assignments and getting projects made from shops is very common and these institutions are least bothered because they know nomatter what happens their seats will get filled every year.
But if you are determined to do something then no one can stop you...
These days you also find students from other institutions creating wonders but that percentage is still very low.
One major reason why students are not able to turn their dreams into reality is the risk involved, For IITians its easy to kick off jobs and start with something and even if they fail they can go back and take up jobs in any IT company but for others campus placements matters a lot because once you are out of campus it gets too difficult to find a job.
Where there's a will, there's a way! if you have passion for something than get up and get going because now is the time to turn your dreams into reality...
ALL THE BEST!

Y360 to wordpress--Mission accomplished
Finally i managed to transfer my blog from Y360 to word press... As you all know i transferred all my blogger blogs to my self-hosted word press blog and this was the last blog left but unfortunately it was on yahoo 360 and since their's no export-import mechanism in y360 i couldn't do so but because y360 is taking its last breath it was very important for me to transfer this blog and after a lot of hard work i found this great tool called "Y360 to word press" but after using it i realized i was expecting too much,it was not an easy task as it didn't worked the way it promised firstly i had to remove all videos and polls even after that it was giving error while converting so i had to start from the last entry and by taking 5 or 10 entries at a time i had to convert them in xml format and then upload it to wordpress then the most difficult task delete the entries thaat have been successfully transfered you might be thinking what's the difficulty in that well friends its y360 and not wordpress-- 1 you can not select multiple entries and delete them you have to delete 1 at a time, 2 big time cache problem so when you delete entries and return to last page you might actually end up at an enty that you have allready deleted just refresh the page 2-3 times...And after 2-3 days of hardwork i finally managed to transfer and delete all the entries... and am really happy because wordpress rocks!!! and now i can express myself in a much better way.
PS:- 1 major drawback of this tool is the image at the bottom of title and before the content doesn't gets transferred.
