10. Most of us talk more about movies, TV series, football, cricket, politics etc. rather than engineering and technology.

24. Seniors here strictly don't like to be called “Bhaiya” and “Sir”.
25. If a person is getting 100 likes within first hour on his/her DP, it necessarily doesn't mean that picture is good. It happens because of being IITian also.
