Coffee Bean : IIM vs IITM

Now a small intro about Leo and Kavya ‘s studies and aspirations.
Kavya did her UG at IITM. She wrote CAT. She got 6 IIM calls.She is a getthu girl. Her parents are all so happy.In the mean time Leo who did his UG at CEG Guindy writes GATE which decides Leo’s FATE. Leo doesn’t know what he wants to do. From his childhood(1st Standard) he loves rats. HE had a pet rat which was eaten by the neighbour’s cat. Since the cat has eaten his rat , he decided not to write CAT.When Leo was in 3rd Standard , his mom used to put mat for sitting and eating food. His Gundu sister would fight and snatch the mat from him. So he started hating GMAT.But from the time when he entered 5th standard, he used to stand at the gate and sight adichify the opp house girl and hence he decided to write GATE.
Leo successfully writes GATE which then paves way to his MATE and ultimately proves to be his FATE.
Kavya attends the interviews from all IIMS and gets into IIM B as she would have got good scores at school.
Leo gets call from IIT M and attends interview… Thikki thadumaari he gets into IIT M to do his PhD.
IIMB welcomes the lazy Kavya and IIT M welcomes the crazy Leo.
At IIT M, Leo makes some new friends,
Leo is asked to choose his research guide, his area of research is Atta Mining.His guide’s name is Aaani Aadavan
Leo goes to hostel to play Piano… (imagine Sridevi playing piano in song “Enn Vaanile…”)
Enn Tablelile… OReh Kaapithaan
Kaadhal Kaaviyam…Kavithai Vaarthaigal
Oviyam…
