IIT Roorkee Suicide Raises Serious Concerns About Institutional Response
A research scholar from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, has been found dead in the Ganga canal. The student belonged to Nainital and was raised solely by his mother after the demise of his father.
What makes this tragedy even more disturbing is that the student had reportedly already submitted complaints against a professor to higher authorities as well as the ministry. If IIT Roorkee had handled the matter with seriousness, sensitivity, and responsibility, perhaps this young life could have been saved.
Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. In recent years, cases of suicide and severe mental distress among students at IIT Roorkee have continued to rise, yet the administration appears indifferent. Institutions cannot continue to ignore repeated warnings and then remain silent after tragedies occur. Accountability, transparency, and a genuinely supportive environment for students are urgently needed.

Is there anyway to sue a medical officer working in IITR
Recently, when admitted, I was very very very wronged by a doctor who is a senior medical officer. he hurt me pretty bad and i have a bruise right in the middle of my chest because of which i cant bend certain times. he said im only there for disturbing the peace of others and im pretending to faint.
Background on my condition - I have anxiety spectrum disorder with dissociative episodes in which my body when under stress, gives up and i have no energy to even open my eyes. it looks as if ive fainted but I've not. it's my body response and I can't control it.
it happened when i was admitted today, that attack, and he came in knudged his knuckles so hard right in between my chest and twisted and turned it while i was screaming. he did it again and threated me to stop pretending having these attacks or else this is the only way you'll be getting up.
my chest is bruised and now it even hurts to move.
There's more to the story if anyone interested.
But i really need help.
Why is finding decent food after 10 PM in Roorkee so hard?
Mess closes, everything outside shuts. If you want anything that isn't Maggie from a random stall you're basically out of luck.
Is it just me or does this city desperately need a late-night delivery option for simple stuff — coffee, sandwiches, shakes?
Suicide In Cautley Bhawan
A student lost his life and everyone tries to move on without addressing what happened properly. Whether or not people want to talk about it, this affects real students and real people. Silence shouldn’t make it disappear.
5k for a spirituality scam
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ldX2V5VswHeEP6LLP7VdXZ-NLP1A1TBR/view?usp=sharing
Wtf is going on with this institution,
First it was iks , and now some 5k course on “understanding oneself, transcending body, mind and soul.”
How is this academic content and not just spiritual preaching (bootlicking of certain ideologies of certain someone)
there is also some vivekanand study circle thing going on constantly poaching freshers
Feels less like education and more like organized ideological recruitment on campus
For Final year students leaving the campus
is there any final year student , who is leaving the campus soon , willing to give mattress and cooler for free ?
PS: ab to job lag gyi , 2-3k ka kya karoge 🙏
Rate the hostel mess 🙂↕️

I have observed that the Brahmins and baniyas are the most dominant groups in the college(in the general category), is there a reason for it?
For anyone who is coming to bash by saying stop this casteist shit, bro I'm not in favour of this too, I am against this in fact, end cast religion or whatever it is.
I love being touched by the guards
I love it when before any exam I have to undergo checking by the guards. I love it when he slides his fingers down my pockets softly caressing my skin and touching my thighs. I makes me wanted and love like never before. When he grabs my ass i resist my urge to moan in front of the crowd. It is one of the few moments of pleasure that comes before my doomed fate in the exam.
Nobody to roam around with .
You might argue that we don't need anyone to have a walk. Some people might go as far as to say that walking alone is a "state of mind" , the hell it may be so if you are wandering in a jungle with no humans. But in a tightly packed campus like ours where the population density is astronomical, walking alone feels like you are doing a ramp walk on some international fashion show. Almost everyone feels that 'spotlight effect' and it's a very terrible thing, you think, you even have trouble breathing. So that's a no option.
Then you are just left with a few options. You can beg to your "busy wasting time friends" – they are always busy doing something but they do nothing. They never go anywhere. All they do is reject everything of lightest joy. So asking them hits way hard on your ego that you never ever try again. On the other hand, may God be merciful and provide you with a girlfriend, then you're never gonna have this problem.
So what do I do, I resent myself for wasting my time in movies, books, and social media. What other options do I have? I wanted a life where I would work and excel and at the same time doing cool things college kids would be doing. At least be a part of a great social life. So that's what happened. I didn't get a very good social life and it affected my progress.
Now I've realized that first comes progress and then other things follow up, not the other way around. After all, I've never had many friends and never a best friend, so why did I expect to change things just because I came here? Or maybe I was unlucky to not find a good circle. Whatever! It's now time to do the "main" thing and dessert will arrive later.
Here I sign off, your weekly writer. I'll write every week from now on on relatable things. Still better than those clubs who don't seem to be working much.

To the Dumb Hostel Faculty and Student Hostel Representatives
Context : Current 2y/3y are required are to empty out their rooms for the vacations
Issue : Why? its not necessary, what was the purpose of shifting people to individual rooms from 2nd year onwards if you have them emptying out every year (common sense of so called IIT graduated Profs / Faculty)
Real talk:
To Student Hostel Representatives (Whatever you guys are called), ig you were elected and the only thing you have done after being elected is suck third legs, unplaced dumb mfs, do the job you were elected for, theres no transparency, everythings based on word of mouth, no emails, no wonder yall are high and busy in divine and what not
To faculty: Bruh, arent you IIT graduates? are u even? because ig common sense doesnt exist at all. are you also supposed to empty out your house when ur not in campus? I KNOW FOR A FACT there are not more than 1000 kids who want to pursue internship in this shit campus. you can easily accomodate them (if u even provide this facility) in RJB because those people have to empty out there rooms due to room change in 2y.
Kindly start solving some case studies, aptitude questions to increase knowledge. common sense has no solution sadly.
Whenever you ask someone "bhai kitna padha?" they say - bhai abhi start krne Jaa rha hu, bc kal exam h aur tum abhi start krne jaa rhe ho
Aur aisa bhi nhi h ki unke marks nhi aate, marks poore aate h in chuttiyon ke
Jab padh rakha h toh batane me kya hota h inko
Have you also seen these guysss?
Only studying cuz it has credits and one values their CG .Could have been better if structured in a better way?
Random hostel admin rant
Bhai im just so sick of my kb hostel admin. Itne chutiye supervisor and chief warden hain , why the fuck do they have so much ego , theyre here for serving us , were not here to serve them . The fact that ki koi issue resolve karana ho , they are the most velle and negligent people , office timings pe milte nhi hai , vaise call kardo bhadwiyo ko to bolti hai this is not the right time . Bc kab baat karu mai . Ek to inhe banata kon hai supervisor , theyre fucking good for nothing people. Girls hostel ka staff is so fucking shitty.
