Semester Exams

Its the time of the year.. perhaps the only second time of the year to get tucked into your college books.We had our first exam today and it went off okay.I have more 5 papers to go and 2 more labs.So time to get into books and restrict myself getting lost in this maze called "internet".

Happy Diwali--2006!

I have been at home for my study leave for around a week. Its after quite sometime that I am enjoying my long stay at home and its wonderful.Eating good food,visiting familiar places,free from the hurry-burry of everyday..,celebrating Diwali with a new hope of carrying out my duties with greater zest for another successful year ahead.I am wondering.. there's been much change to my life since my last Diwali.. So.. many events.. , so many changes in my relnships wid ppl,so many sudden twists to my life,so much pain to be encountered at times too.. but at end of it all.. good success as well :) .I have seen much colours of Life... (though there is much moreee to see) All in ONE year! So life is going really fast.. I am gonna b graduating in another 6 odd months... So hope to savour every moment of my life.. in 8th semester.. be it good or bad.. I guess there wud much more stuff happening by next Diwali 2007!.. As far my sem exam preparation goes.. its been as usual.. never too good.. but with a hope to catch up and do well.I hope this Diwali is a start point for even greater happiness and success for my family,frenz and everybody else... So a VERY HAPPY DIWALI to all!

An afternoon at IIT,Chennai campus

Today was an alumni meet of IITians from all 7 IITs along with their families at IIT,Chennai and since my dad is an alumni of IIT-Kharagpur.. I thought I would spend my Saturday evening there. So, the meet was scheduled around 3 p.m. The alumni meet mainly involved the discussion of two main topics namely contribution of IIT to the society and Motivation of IIT grads to takeup Entrepreneurship. It was an interesting meeting with the presence of several well known names including Prof Ananth,Director of IIT Madras .While discussions were going on in one side.. there was a carnival going at the other end with some fun stalls.There was a stall on Mehendi(so my Diwali Mehendi is finished here) and an interesting stall on having your name written in rice and made into a key chain(unfortunately due to lack of time could not get hold of this). Once the discussions were over there were a variety of cultural events by IIT students including a wonderful classical flute performance followed by a dance by the girls team and ear-blocking metal songs by the IIT Rock band.Next came dinner, which was good and filling.The people who attended the meet were mainly those who had graduated from the instituition some 30-40 years back and here and there I could see some recent pass outs.Somehow when I went into the campus, I got a motivation that if I am gonna b doing my post graduation it would only be in this prestigious institute and follow the footsteps of my father.

Moments to Cherish

I am blogging after really a longg time.The 7th semester has been one of the busiest semesters for me.And I am really happy at the results I have got at the end after 3 months of unassured phase.Two major things happened in this semester.The first being my dual placement at Honeywell Technology Solutions Lab.I received my second on campus offer letter just a day before my birthday :). The second being my visit to Microsoft IDC,Hyderabad.The .NET usergroup which we are running Maduraidotnet won the "Best New .NET Usergroup Award" at the Microsoft National Student Partners Meet at Hyderabad. The award has really lifted our spirits and finally our hardwork has paid off.So my motto "Keep working hard.. Rest would follow".
