Life at IIT-Kharagpur

I was too apprehensive when I was coming here. It was a first experience for me to stay away from home. The first day at the institute was chaotic. And even the next one was nothing better.....I couldn't even see off my parents.My room was a small one in which two students have to adjust. Its , as I had earlier said-'First experience of its kind'.

Then came the first day class. Oh ! what a lecture theatre it is!!! Just see the pic of the lecture room. Its completely air conditioned!!! And what professors.... Come on pals...what could have I expected ....This is IIT and that to  Kharagpur-Father of all IITs.

It has been a wonderful experience here.The seniors are keen to help and everyone care for each other.Its just like a Home away from Home.After all we hav to spend the next four years here only.

I have been home in the DP vacations(for those who dont know DP is Durga Puja) and ya I would surely miss the Diwali celebrations there and considering myself to unlucky----the famous ILLU( I llumination) night wont be celebrated this year in KGP during the Diwali.You wanna know how grand this event used to be? Just search for it on google or Youtube and you would wish to be here. Now since I have brought a new Laptop from home, I would keep updating the blog regularly.There is still much to write about the time spent here but that would continue in the next posts.

Bye Bye!!!

Love you all!!

Going away

Well it has been a age since I last wrote something sensible on the blog, but I think the wait to write something has been worth it. Tomorrow I am leaving for IIT Kharagpur. It has been a dream of many to be in IIT so was mine and in few days time it will be a reality.
It seems nostalgic to leave my home city Lucknow for at least four years straight. My whole family, friends from the time I was child, the fond memories of school are all left behind. It were the last two years in school that I enjoyed the most. That all moments still linger in my mind and I dont think that theses days of school will ever go in oblivion. Though I have never bunked classes except once but still I have had the experience of bunking at least once even if it was for a period or two. The teachers especially Laaj Ma'm were so friendly with us that we didnt even miss a part of our enjoyment in the school.
But now everything of school is past. Now the college life awaits me. New friends, new atmosphere especially that of in IIT, tough competition that I had never faced in my school life and most of all new and great friends who will be there with me for my whole life......be it in IIT or the life after it. The wait has been worth. There are still inhibitions - how will be the first day in the institute; how will I be able to live in the Hostel; how will be the food and will there be ragging and how will it be done. But leaving all this behind I feel very excited to enter there.
It will be a Home away from Home for me and I have to spend the next four years there so I think adjustment will be must. Its the trouble which I think everyone faces......whether to be happy to get such an institute or be sad to leave the dear and loved ones behind. It still feels awkward to be away from home and to know that I will be meeting Amma and Papa and Saumya(my sis) only once in 5 or 6 months, but all is part and parcel of the game.
Now I think it has been enough. I will keep publishing on the blog from there too. wish me luck all of you you who read this - 'to do well'.
Goodbye .......will meet you all soon in the next post.
