First Days at IIM C

yes, i have finally reached here……

this place is even better than i imagined atleast as far as the scenic beauty goes – 7 lakes, forests all around, nice rooms – pretty much a wildlife sanctuary with all kinds of reptiles – snakes, lizards, cockroaches……u name it (although all of them are pretty harmless)

the people here are nice too……i was pleasantly surprised at the attitude of my seniors- extremely cool and comfy to talk to – considering what i got in my first days at NSIT (offence intended)……even my batchmates are really nice – pretty simple and down to earth…….but most importantly, almost all of them are scared of the impending academic load which helps coz even i am not at my normally chilled out position of indifference at this stage. 

i am at the library at this time. pretty cool spot - largest library in Asia and plus, all kinds of journals kept here. lots of novels too, that might help  [i.e. if i get the time ]

the only unfortunate part about this place is the extremely damp weather – try being in a steamed room for 24 hours – you will get to know what i am talking about.

somebody just asked me how calcutta is, as a city ?

lemme answer that before i leave here………calcutta is an old world city – if u dont like the streets of old delhi or chandni chowk, u will probably hate this place…….on the other hand, if such places interest you and remind you of times yore, u will absolutely love it.

there are a number of places to vist here – kalighat mandir, dakshineshwar mandir (both temples of goddess kali), park street (almost like CP, AFAIK), howrah bridge, victoria memorial, Science City and of course the planetarium here (which is awesome, from what i have heard). if ur one of the “old world charm” lovers, this is definitely a place to visit 

if anyone of u readers do plan to come here, please give me a call……..i wd be generous enough to let you share my accomodation

oh last and certainly not the least, this place has a combined boys/girls hostels, ramanujan – and its the one where i reside currently   

Things to do

I am sure that there is more to life than making shallow, fairly obvious observations that I have accustomed my life to….

These days, i am thinking of making an A-Z list of all popular people….and also mark out all the schizophrenics. I intend to find out whether all geniuses were schizophrenics to some degree of extent.

Secondly, i am thinking of visiting every nook and corner of delhi and eat up its unbearable heat. I think that would be an excellent tribute to my home town. For the rest of my life, my last impression of this town would be that of the burning heat……..rather gud one to have (have often always wondered why there is not a song “dilli ki garmi”)

thirdly, i also intend to meet up with my old friends…..mostly because i have nothing else worthwhile to do

fourthly, i have to arrange all seasons of seinfeld…….but before that i wd hv to buy a portable HDD (80 gb preferrably)

i can’t think of much else now……
