Hi Aditya,
Sad you didn't come IIIT. Its the best place to be if u'r really
interested in IT. I'm in the second year and i've learnt many a thing
that would have been impossible to do in a conventional college setting.
In fact we don't have any lab instructors we do everything on our own.
There's
so much freedom u can't imagine.
btw Hopefully u got u'r comp working by now.
