One Year in NIT Trichy
Its been a year since I joined this Institute. One year has passed so fast- almost like a lightning. So many things had occurred in the past year. Looking back into the previous year in this college, here are a few things I wanted to write about.
Friends are the greatest asset I have gained in NIT Trichy. I’ve gained a lot of new friends here. I’ve done a lot of things in the past one year. Blogging, LAN Games, playing TT, etc were completely new to me when I came to NITT.
Communication… Well. Believe me I never used to talk to anyone in School even as I do now. I’ve improved a lot after coming here. In NITT I got a great chance to interact with others. I stay in the hostel with hundreds of students, playing, studying and doing all crazy things. I got to interact with everyone through my club, the mafia game, interaction parties, etc. I got inducted into my Club – Wisdom Club of NITT in early first semester. Through this club I got a great chance to interact with seniors and others batchmates. Our club conducted sports competitions which was named ‘Blitzkrieg’. It was conducted by the first year club members exclusively for the first year students. This too gave me a chance to make more friends.
Blogging is a great medium to express your thoughts and make yourself known to others. Even though I was a member of Blogger.com and had a Blog, I didn’t write anything in it. It was only after reading a few of my college senior’s blogs that i really got interested in this. Then I started Google-ing (New Google Blog Search) and Orkut-ing for reading various new and interesting blogs. After all this I’ve started posting my own junk in around 4 or 5 blogs.
I did play a lot in this year. We used to play TT most of the time. Occasionally I went to play either volley ball or shuttle. I used to swim a lot in our college swimming pool in the first semester. In the second semester the pool was closed due to some contract problem. I got interested in TT when we conducted the Blitzkrieg Tournament in the the first semester. After the tournament ended Me and Somu went to play TT each and everyday- both morning and evening. Then a few more guys joined us and we used to play like mad.
In the second semester, we had the national level tech fest – “Pragyan”. I was a volunteer in this fest. I was assigned the snacks committee job. We had a lot of exposure to the activities done in NITT and also various new things. I attended various guests lectures and video conferences. This year’s Pragyan had the improvised version of the Dalal Street – an online game which was similar to the real stock market. In this game we are given virtual money, which we got to invest in virtual company stocks and make profit.
A few weeks later the inter-department culturals NITTFEST started. I was the volunteer for organizing LAN Games. I accepted this as I was interested in these games. This is what made me hooked on to the games. After this we started to play DotA in Octa lab2 which became our abode for the rest of the days. Playing games in the LAN with friends is far more better than playing with the ‘Crazy-Player’. This gave a great chance for me to make new friends.
During these vacations I spent the initial few days roaming Chennai and then going to Mumbai and then to Madurai. For the past few days I’m on a hibernation. Sitting idle in front of the computer. I’m looking forward to be back in college. Lets see how the next year shapes up.
