Something away from IIT

I have heard many people complaining that IITians live in a world of their own. Not giving importance or Bhaw to outside people as much as actually deserved.
What could be the possible reasons??

Well nothing that i can think of. So to solve a problem lets go to the roots of it.
How does one actually become an iitian...By atleast two years of eating,sleeping,drinking,thinking and doing everything with IIT books.

And 99% of us do go through these two years. And after coming to this dream of JLN(Jawahar lal nehru) we tend to use this freedom in such ways that it at times hurts the ego of outsiders( this word outsiders in itself is show of my ego). But i believe that inferiority complex of non iitians also contributes equally to this process making iitians a community in ourselves.

This is not common to IIT B only.
During my summer internship at RCF i meet with people from IIT KGP, IIT kanpur, IIT madras. And it doesnt even take 5 mins for us to talk at similiar frequecies. We have similiar cult prevailing at all these places. Reason being similiar process of agony and IItianization for 3 years. And people who have lived in same way for 5 years would be able to find themselves at ease...I dont think many would disagree to that.

So actually i couldnt drag my self away from iit issues during this post also.
i will try to do better later on.
