JEE Advanced: My Take

So, there's this trend(fad) among people in my position i.e. recently made IITians, to start writing on Quora, start a blog on JEE preparation an what not. Although the thought of indulging is lucrative, I'd rather not. One of the reasons being that although I got an under 500 AIR, it's not good enough for those leagues. What I would rather do is that I'd leave my story right here, in this blog. Everything I did and didn't do, choices I made, why I made them? etc. I think it would be better to split my 'story' into 9 parts, those being, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 11th and 12th separately and 3 on revision phase of each. When I have completed the post, probably soon enough because I have a lot of time in vacations, I do not intend it to be a sort of 'Guide to getting a good JEE rank'. It'd rather be targeted to be an elaborate account of my experience throughout the preparation and what I've learned from it, not at all expected...

Who am I? What's this blog for?

This blog is a faint attempt to collect my life events, thoughts, opinions in an accessible, aesthetically pleasing format. Something like reminiscent of a quite personal diary. This blog is not targeted at any audience, it is sort of a personal archive which is publicly accessible. I also want to work on my writing, any sort of feedback/criticism is highly appreciated. Now all that aside, let us jump to me. I am Mohd Safwan, just another engineering student from India. Because I recently got admitted into Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, arguably the best engineering institute in India, I am going through a very interesting period and I decided to document all(read all interesting aspects) of it. Although I just completed my first semester, I believe it is a good time to start. I plan to post anything interesting that I come by on the internet, hear from friends, read in the news and also what I think about things that I encounter in my day-to-day routine.
