My father saved me the day I was about to join FIITJEE. We went to pay the fees together. The receptionist explained a daily schedule of 5-6 hours of homework, with no room for sports or other interests. "Everyone is doing it, here's the form for the fee..." "But he plays badminton," said my father. The lady shrugged. He took my hand and we turned around and left.

Result - I spent class 11 and 12 as the only person not taking any tuitions. I read, I wrote a blog, I played sports. I had FREE TIME..
