1st week ,so far ,so good

1st week ,so far ,so good Today marks exactly a week's stay at IIIT-B .The week has been quite fast and i have really liked my stay here.The hostel life is a great teacher , I truly feel ,all professional courses should be residential,its an enormous advantage and the level of exposure is at a new high.

I made a few friends and probably can recall about a 30 names out of 136 students of my class.The atmosphere here is so challenging, there's so much to know in the field of Computer Science, even with a 2 year experience at TCS , i feel i hardly know anything in CS.

Being up till 1am has become a regular routine and it hardly feels a burden to stay late. ,with so many seniors working in the labs and continous activity in the campus.

The prof's are down to earth and extremely knowledgeable ,and IIIT-B Director Prof Sadagopan's ,talks of wisdom are very inspiring.Seniors are very friendly and helpful .A wonderful bond has begun to weave between us.

The level of learning is quite high and i must admit i have already begun to feel the pressure,The subjects are approached holiestically.Every concept taught is discussed with a relevant industry example.

We were made aware of some of the clubs in college,and birthday bashes are fun. IMSAA an international paper presentation contest and NOKIA challenge are the awaited events.IIIT-B has been given the charge to conduct the NOKIA tech challenge , a national tech event and i am in the volunteering commitee :)

In my next blog, i shall write about ,the visit by MIT(Masuchussets Institute of Tech) Undergrad Dean to IIIT-B and his thoughts about why MIT remains the No 1 Tech school in the world. Ciao !!
