Project - Started at last

The IIT-M project that i was very much expecting has finally come off to a start..
The results were announced a day before we were supposed to report in iit.
The main day came- we were all so tensed and eager to get to the processor in hand.
We had to cover almost 2kms inside the campus to get to the computer science and engineering dept which was clearly hidden off from view by other buildings and ofcourse trees and lots of it.....
The professor then told us that he was too busy that he could not start it today and told us to return on monday- NICE START!!!
Hope the project starts off without much delay like the results soon.............

Project!!!

Its over with second year and each of my friends keep talking about some project or ipt that they are doing.
Then i learnt that this was important if u go for higher studies or even jobs as it keeps you occupied and also gain some experience in the subject.
Then the work for searching for projects came as a challenge.
Many emails were sent to numerous faculties around the nation in respectable institutions for projects.
Just then did my department(the great comp sci.) come up with this idea of sending their students for a hardware(indegeneous x86 processor development) project in IITM. As the name had its say, i wanted to get this project for sure and also the location in my hometown was an added advantage.
Then came the selection test for the project. Questions were like the IIT-JEE, maybe the name itself carries its standards. You either know the full solution or u know nothing. Ok got over with the test - then what??

The results part
Due to some unavoidable reasons as the departments puts it to us, our results have not yet been declared for 3 weeks from the test. Our holidays have started and many of my friends have started their projects. Well me, iam just sitting plain dumb at home not knowing what to do....
Thank God that at the last moment, i got some feeling and got another project from another of my faculty so that i can spend my time atleast knowing about something.
This is the story of 1 of around 20 students who took the test. God knows what the others will say when asked about it!!!
God save my department and our Excellent HOD!!!!!

2 years in college

Two years have passed since i joined this prestegious intstitution NITT and i have changed a lot from my earlier form.
