Emotional Quotient

“The problem with a rat race is that the winner of this race is always a rat”, the dialogue of the IIT-B movie deja-vu can make you to clap but it made me to write, after a long break(brake!).

Three incidents occurred simultaneously in this fortnight a person of Indian origin got the Nobel prize, David shepered died and I again started to use ”045 Reynolds fine carbure pen”.

Lets start with Deja-vu. The movie reflects the frustration of an IITian because he could not pass the exams, could not crack a job, and could not get a gal. Understandably it touches the sentiments of thousands of IITians (including me! Err…sorry not me, as I m not an IITian). The movie also tried to convey the message that the mind of an IITian dwells in the plastic region, only thing it needs is a little more stress and it can fate the ultimate break down called suicide by them and homicide by me. Two things are pretty clear from this movie:

i) IITians are incapable or incompetent to the level of stress imposed on them i.e IIT-JEE selection process is a crap.
ii) If not, the movie is based on the bastion of a particular guy and a publicity stunt
(as same as the novel FPS by chetan bhagat).
I am not giving the answer as I am a psuedo-iitian (phew!! New word-psuedo-iitian).


An Indian can declare noble physics prize winner ( I don’t remember his name..sorry) as arrogant because he had blocked all the emails sent to him by Indians. He further said,”leave me alone and let me work for science”. Again two things are clear:

i) Every NRI physics Nobel prize winner cant be C V RAMAN.
ii) We cant win a Nobel prize because the guys of our top most institutions IITs are frustrated (courtesy: movie deja –vu).
Here comes the emotional quotient! The almighty, truly rich, omni- magnimous Americans say EQ is inversely proportional to IQ….not agreed…here in INDIA both are at unprecedented low(don’t cry I m justifying myself with some examples):
i) NAXALITES : Their IQ is low(as always) but now they have transformed into ruthless contract killers (EQ has been negative)
ii) AMBANI BROTHERS: Their EQ was always low but now their IQ has also been belerantly blunt.
iii) BOLLYWOOD: what is yr rashee(/why are you watching).


Ok! Lets talk some business here. Americanisation of Indian economy, inconsistency in RBI policies, dipping desi SMEs, porous security issues, falling MIGs, colliding trains, postponing national games, blind disinvestments and frustrated IITians had pandemicised/ inculpated every Indian to race and race blindly, decimating our IQ and abdicating our EQ.

As only low IQ, dismal EQ rats are available in India no one can expect a cat race!! 3 cheers to rat race….?
