first of all…yeah m back to putting up comments on ur blog so congratulations!

hmph! as an engineering student in final year..i share ‘almost’ the same feelings as u n d numerous others who ve posted there comments over here!

As i figure..most of em are ur frens n so inevitably IITians..but as an outsider’s point of view an inside view into ur lives I did find interest in d way u mention about saarang and shaastra! (Does ur insti have a thing with ‘s’ like ekta kapoor? :O)
Organizing anything that involves loads of people (..and chicks) is good!
u get 2 meet loads of people…(i remember my batch mates hovering around ‘the catch of the junior batch’ esp @ these times) ;)
Coming to hostel,parties, treats and frens!
ahh!they are inevitable and FUN!
pure and memorable..
i still ve one theory external and a project viva to give..but i am already missing college!

what u said about ‘meeting up’ and ‘keeping in touch’..(sigh) evidently its because of d ‘school reunion’ we had this year!
As all ur frens ll agree…u were pissed cos u dint get ur ‘chance 2 YAP’!
believe me..college reunions will be a LOT different and a lot more FUN!
u will see when u have one!
cos i have total confidence in mine already!
anyways college is a phase in every man’s life..he never forgets it cos some of us ‘actually’ grow up then!
Life dancing in its full colour…Funny!it ll take breaks 4m now on! :(

hopefully ll blog about this in my own blogpad…ll let u kno wen i do!
ciao!

I concur with most of what you say. But, I think why people miss out on so many things during undergraduation is that they simply don't know it's there. although many people I know have a record of some sort of spending more time in the canteen than the classrooms in 4 years.. <br/>and ya.. we'll keep in touch man.

this post was more about under graduation than about under graduation at iit … it is very nice to listen to diverse views from non-engineering background. they have a completely different set of ideas

@TheTobacconist
i hope psu will be fun too like you say

@anil p
education system has to be revamped to include a few more courses and reduce specialized courses at undergraduate level

@chennu
i really did not get to know him that well unfortunately .. some of his classes were very good.

@mahesh

I did take part in competetions but I simply wasnt good enouh to win any of them. What a collosal waste. Anyway, lets let bygones be bygones. <br/>Its true people drift apart, but it has been a special time in IIT meeting so many brilliant people. I dont know how other colleges are, but I think IIT experience is unique in itself. <br/>I am going to post a response to this post on my blog. Check it out when its up.

Indian Science and Technology Institutes are famously non-inlusive vis a vis Humanities, and that does make for a very one-dimensional stretch of education. Yes, youdo have a point.

Don't worry too much about friends and meeting up. I feel the time spent apart is really useful. It is such a joy to meet them after long periods of time, I can hardly find another more awesome feeling. <br/><br/>PSU is a very nice place. You'll have fun there. Good luck. Nicely written.
