The IIT Transformation

Another light-hearted and humorous post(may be, lets see how it comes out); for some getaway off the exam and project tensions(needless to say - for others, not me personally....), and perhaps from some conflicts...

Disclaimers:
  1. This post is not intended to hurt anyone; not an inch more than what they deserve and have developed - including the author himself.
  2. This is a general trend analysis and .... ( hmm, anyway no one would take anything I write here seriously so no need of completing that with justifications and exceptions..)
  3. Statistics on the other kind of population is not performed. This is a purely male-oriented and male-dominated post!! 

A picture says it all - and what better than the above picture showing the 'development' of an IITian over the course and stay.
The above pic clearly sums up a general trend; and the reasons for it are obvious - Food habits and more mental workout than physical exercise.Obviously there are exceptions - very energetic and fit kids, or genetic outliers; but this is a common scenario...

Details are probably insignificant here - whether it is the mess food or the canteen food, erratic eating habits or high carbs and fat diet; what strikes out is that the 'curve' happens to be one of the identifying factor of a well settled IITian!

I am a Stage-3 now; and yes - initially I did try some jogging stuff to curb the bulger, but of late became complacent. So, no jogging, no gymming(well, never tried - but was a mental exercise :D) - just worrying about the protruding tummy. Just wishing that Stage-4 wouldn't set in with all this laziness growing!!
So here is a notable 'benefit' of joining IIT ;-)

Before ending, one question:
What stage do you find yourself ???

    1. Of course nobody wants... who wanted even stage 3... but if one year of iit can transform me from stage 1 to 3, then one more year....
      P.S. I am not going to reach at stage 5 in any way. Whenever I cross stage 4, I usually fall into stomach problems and they put me again in stage 2.
