Well nice reply dear, exactly what I was thinking this morning (a sleep indeed helps to clear up your thoughts). To tell you the truth, I never dreamed of joining the IITs, didn't even give the JEE. But that was because I knew without a two year preparation (which I just didn't have) I couldn't compete to get my desired subjects, and I am just too stubborn to study subjects like ocean engineering or mechanical engineering even at the IITs because I don't like these subjects. But on the other hand I wanted to go in the research field and knew of the importance of a degree from a very good college. When I went on a flunked my AIEEE, and had to settle for a state level college I was crushed. That was the seed for my obsession with the brand name. Trying to get over it but I find myself attracted towards every ad in the paper or TV from IITs or IISc or other foreign elites and just can't stop thinking about them. While on the other hand I would not want to waste an year (that too after I have secured admission in a very prestigious college of my state). I know I am messed up, but should get over it in time.
