IIT Bombay - My home for the next 4 years

IIT Bombay main building


Finally, I got B-Tech, Electrical Enginering in IIT Bombay.

'MAD'RAS

I should have posted this earlier but my laziness ( my virtue!) stopped me from doing so. I have a good excuse too… I have no internet connection in my home.

19th June. 2006 A.D
IIT Madras. Chennai.

After a long (14 hours) journey, I could finally find myself in one of the India's prestigious institutes - IIT MADRAS. It wasn't a piligrimage or a tour either. It was my counselling… scheduled to happen the next day.

This place, at first, ressembled a wildlife sanctuary as evident from the presence of deers and monkeys moving around. I heard about Panthers in IIT Bombay. I'm lucky I didn't find any here.

After going deeper into it… the campus I mean, you'll find 7 storied buildings which, I later came to know, were student's hostels. Humm… looks like hitech residence for the techies. Two days stay at IIT made me love the place but hate the weather. You know? I sweat like hell! This kind of weather is something that one would love to hate and others hate to love! I do both simultaneously. No sooner did I complete my counselling, I started back home as I could no longer bear that weather. Well… now I'm in my Hyderabad…my fingers crossed… waiting for the counselling result to be out within next few minutes.

Musical might!

The day night before yersterday night was a musical night for me as I was awake till 2 AM, composing music for the songs my Dad's friend had sung. I still wonder why in the world, I didn't feel sleepy that night because this is not the case when I sit to study. (As a matter of fact, I rarely attempt such adventures… studying… I mean.) It is musical might, that kept me awake. I call it might because, nothing else can keep me awake.
