five point someone

What not to do at IIT!

About da buk●○●

Five Point Someone tells the story of three IIT students who refuse to make that trade-off, choosing instead to study less and play more. Hari, Alok and Ryan sleep, stumble and cheat their way through Manufacturing Processes and Applied Mechanics to leave room for bigger priorities: vodka, weed and Pink Floyd. Throw in a love affair with a professor's daughter, and you've got every Indian teen's dream. "It's amazing how happy one can be," realizes narrator Hari, "with low expectations of one's self."
