Who would choose a laptop over a sparkling red BMW? We would have said nobody, but we'd have been wrong. Because somebody just did choose a laptop over a BMW. Tanmay Shekhawat, an IIT topper from Rajasthan, rejected a BMW his coaching class gifted him for topping the class!

This guy definitely lack business skills. He could have sold that car and bought the best laptop money can buy and save the rest of the money. Such a idiot.

I agree only with the bold part. An IIT topper can buy a Lambo after placement dear.

Anyone read this "However, the class had a different story to tell. "Earlier they wanted to keep it. They said the boy's maternal uncle in Mumbai could keep it. Now they want to sell it as they need money for the treatment of the boy's mother, who is a kidney patient,” the institute director told HT."

I pray to God that his mother gets well soon.
