of classes …
A week of treats, and to say adieu.
First the treat by the outgoing batches to all the juniors in the hostel, and the teachers, and after one day, it was our turn. Five years at the insti … we heard all their stories, wacky batch-anecdotes ( like Kotto Da and Kuila Da’s meye-independent concept, Kuila Da’s encounters with police, Soru Da’s ‘Via-agra’ story etc etc … J ) concept-et al at the night-long farewell, just the reverse of what happened in freshers’! Everyone got a personalized ‘gift’ by us juniors, all made by us in the last three days, based on the special ‘characteristics’ of the receiver !
Towards the end, emotions ran high. And justly so, for you’re leaving a place that has shaped and nurtured you intellectually for the last five yrs ( and a hostel that has added words like ‘gola’, ‘maya’ etc. to your vocabulary! ).
Good luck, ye batch of superlatives, for the rest of your life. We’ll miss you,- Panu da, JD da ( and his kitten, Ghunchu ), Woody da, Borat da, Pam da, Patty da, Bhoja da, Topper da, Mota da, Mitra da, Lanky da, Tridibesh da, Rajarshi da, Raja da, Anish da, Soru da, Kotto da, Kuila da, Shailesh bhaiya, Vignesh bhaiya, Prashant bhaiya … each one of you.
** of exams …
Feels pretty weird. I am now sitting my second semester exams ! We’re going to be seniors, after just two months ! Whoops … time goes really fast. Seems just a couple of weeks ago I sat for those tiresome string of competitive exams, spent a whole lot of effort for getting passport, went to the Olympiad camp, … and got admitted here.
And what a year it had been ! The first time in life I studied only and only mathematics, I did so much programming, … I stayed in hostel. New friends, a new academic atmos that doesn’t make you forcibly adapt to it.
Okay, the exams. Three over, two remain. At least can say that they are going better than the last sem. Here are two subjects that would be bidding goodbye, … Linear Algebra and Numerical analysis. The first one has been my least favorite last sem, but was quite interesting this sem, with all its eigenvalues and SVDs etc. The second subject, is quite good and resourceful in programming, with lot of methods for different approximations, but, to reproduce the long theoretical arguments behind them in the exam-hall … is simply tiresome. I mean, nothing new, man. Only remember from the notes and write. I won’t miss this subject. About Analysis, today’s paper, … okay, a fairly good exam.
So, two more remain.
