And finally I landed up in IITM ...........

Yesterday i got my gradesheet which declares I have successfully (?) finished 65 credits so far here . so that finishes exactly a third of my dual degree program (65/195).. so I think it's time to look back and retrospect how I landed up here in Jungles of IIT some 1000+ odd km from my home .. and believe me it's long story because I tried 'n' options even after getting my JEE result
30th May 2007 ... JEE result was declared at 8 in the morning .. I got a disappointing 2610 AIR which means I was sure of admission for btech but wasn't much hopeful for my dream IIT ( IITB :( ).My next option was IIIT hyd So on that day I was eagerly waiting for AIEEE results .. actually I was waiting for AIEEE results from past one week then . Throughout the day I must have refreshed AIEEE site for 'n' times.... finally gave up in evening and closed comp.At 11 in night one of friend called me and told me that results are out there also it was nt much good .. I was able to get CS/EE in home NIT/southern nit's but nt IIIT so that option was packed.btw before that I have given BITS and was able to get in both campuses but again not to the mark I wanted .. So finally options for me were UDCT ( if you have heard of this institute .. quite famous in Maharashtra),VNIT CS/EE , government college Pune (COEP) etc .. last one because I got good score in our state entrance but didn't cracked it exactly .. so the brainstorming lasted for almost 1 month .. (even when JEE alltment was done .. even after 1 month after results I was still thinking of UDCT then :D )
Even while filling JEE form choosing IITM meta wasn't that straightforward .I have considered right from MSc chem IITB to EP in IITG and upto last minute was hopeful about IITB meta but finally landed in iityam and in the land of idli's and dosa's :) .

Finally it's Over ........

Finally Saarang 2009 comes to an end.Now Opeth performance is going on in OAT but for me Saarang is over and I am back to my room (and jobless :D).Last 4 days campus was lively , energetic etc etc ... From tomorrow life will be back to normal (at least for me ).This saarng was pretty much was last saarnag for me .. dunno why .. but I was getting feeling of saarang 2008 again .Vodaphone was at the same place again , I didn't attend any pro-show this saarang either,Again I mainly attended speaking events and drams(again !! ) . Paint-ball and Theater fest were different experience though . Paintball was not that interesting (even though I led my team to triumph :D ) It was more like CS .However it was .. one thing for sure I enjoyed this saarang more then 2008 and got some useful lessons too ..

Adieu

Finally Mr George Bush is all prepared to leave his office with rock-bottom approval ratings . He has been criticized as one of the most unpopular president in recent times.With osama yet not in sight,Iraq burning,economy into recession his farewell is definitely not so pleasant.These cartoons I found on economist which shows the fate of poor(?) obama.
So let's bid adieu to our beloved 10 pointer(err 10 number :P ) bush and welcome obama who seems more promising then him.

Cribbing

I sometimes wonder why some junta cribs so much about anything and everything ..Right from some screwed grades / bad profs to high prices in tiff's . I admit that I am not the guy you will find dancing with joy always (infact never) but why don't you accept things as it is ... or do something really useful to change it or otherwise be OK with it (ठीक आहे attitude :D ).
If you just open student forum you will find guys complaining right from CCW to lack of cycle shed in Himalaya(:O even new hostels don't have any ) and from gurunath to insti bus drivers . Junta complaints about everything and anything .. I think our mess is quite ok , we get 24 hrs free electricity,20 hours free net access (atleast as of now :)).. but yet many times we keep on talking on why and how we landed up in the jungles of IITM.
I think I am cribbing too much about cribbing so I will end this post here :D.
