Last few days at IISc :(

Have been starting to think about what I will miss most once I leave IISc. Very few (and mostly involving music), but whatever I will miss, I guess it will be huge. And I can continue to have some things even after I leave.

  1. Rhythmica... First year in IISc, i wasn't very involved with Rhythmica. But, when I became the Music Club Convener, got really involved. Didn't participate much, but kept hanging in the music room while others were practicing. Have had a really nice time there. Even though I can't participate in its programmes, I definitely want to continue hanging out in the music room, which I can, if I have time off my job.
  2. Food at A-mess. Again, first year wasn't significant. 2nd year was quite significant, once I started hanging out with the Rhythmica guys.
  3. Department lab/sem hall... Exams/presentations mean spending nights at the sem hall or the lab. The sem hall belongs to the 1st years. So my first year, I spent most of my pre-exam/pre-presentation nights at the sem hall. pre-exam/pre-presentation nights during the 2nd year were mostly spent at the lab.
  4. The few times I went out with my class mates. I couldn't spend so much time with them in the second year, but had fun...

To be contd...

Drive to Trichy from Bangalore

Image
Road trip on our Suzuki Ritz 2013 Vxi Petrol - Bangalore - Tiruchengode - Trichy (Vayalur - Tiruvanaikovil - Samayapuram - Srirangam - Rockfort) - Namakkal - Bangalore -  850 kms - 3 days/2 nights   After our road trip to Chennai last month, I really wanted to go on another long drive, and was looking to drive all the way to Kanyakumari on the NH7. But, with the limited budget, we decided to restrict to Trichy which is around 380 kms. We started with an elaborate plan to cover a lot of places in and around Trichy with a 4-day halt at Trichy - mainly a temple tour with a few picnic spots here and there. However, the actual trip spanned only 3 days - we started on 6th October at 5AM and returned on 8th October by 4 PM - purely a temple tour. The Trip... Bangalore-Krishnagiri-Salem (200 kms - 3 hours) We started from Horamavu, Bangalore (north-east corner of Bangalore) on  Sunday, 6th October 2013 0500 , and drove through the inner ring road to reach Hosur Road...
