"Sometime my friends saw what I was doing and asked me why the hell do I do these stuffs because it obviously will not come in the exams."

This is what I call love. Going beyond the call of duty, exploring more than you need.

One time in school I had the task of programming a stepper motor. All I needed to do was get the thing going round and round. Getting it to go in the other direction gave bonus points. But I exhausted all the possibilities I saw, I spent a whole week exploring the capabilities of that motor. I ended up with a program that made it go to its maximum possible speed by accelerating from a lower starting speed.

Love is to go to Mars when you're were only asked to go to the moon. Simply because you find the task interesting.
