A. Do not be so much of cynic in this young age. Also do not genralise about Indians or any other global community. You have good and bad persons, thoughts, beliefs & convictions everywhere and at the same time -look around for good things in your social, physical and spiritual environment. I am convinced that there is lot of hope for all of us . Even for the students securing less marks, there is a great hope...just do not narrow your choice to few colleges and limited courses...go and watch the movie 3 idiots again along with people who are involved at present in the decision making while selecting a course or college in DU ...all the best!!!
