The feeling that B.Tech. is almost over forces me to feel a bit nervous. I spend (I am not sure whether to call it wastage) a lot of time socializing (at coffee shop and in BC with friends) and rest of the time I am sitting in front of my computer screen trying to develop or explore something. My life at IIIT has been influenced by a lot of factors from Dr. Kamal’s use of a tablet pc and wifi to connect to the projector for a lecture or Dr. Sangal’s outstanding way of teaching or the limited bandwidth forcing me to think of alternatives or Nirnimesh’s inclination towards Linux or Ranta’s entrepreneurial skills or Sandeep Saini’s dedication towards downloading.
