Who is IIT Baba?
In an interview with a news channel, Abhey Singh was asked about his journey from IIT to being a Sadhu. He said, "I come from a very small town of Jajjar (a town in Haryana). I did not even know about IIT till Class 12. Someone came in our school and informed us about IIT, that's how I came to know about the Indian Institute of Technology."
"I took a drop for 1 year and went to Delhi to study in coaching. Thereafter, I cracked IIT as my mind was sharp. I got AIR 731. I did IIT thinking that my parents won't reject going away from home if the college is big. Going by the rank I got at IIT, I thought aerospace engineering will be better. I did not think about placements or any other thing...Eventually, I learned English there as well."
"I got exposure in Mumbai and then I came to know that there are other things in life as well. For example, there was a humanities department there. I started taking an interest in philosophy, postmodernism, and epistemology (the study of knowledge). I have also directed plays, written poems, etc during my stint at the IIT."
