Landmarks

I have been away for a long time, and that is because I have been really busy over the last fortnight. And I have been really happy over the last fortnight as well. To enumerate a few highlights:

1. Kshitij - Kshitij, is the annual techno-management festival of IIT Kharagpur. It was repackaged last year, and has grown this year into an international event. I was involved with the core organization last year, its first year. This year, I was organizing Overnite, a night long programming contest. Despite a lot of last minute hiccups, the contest went well, the winners were well rewarded, a night well spent!
2. My Sister's marriage - A landmark event in my life, and obviously in her's. The wedding was a great success, both the bride and the groom were looking their best, and were very happy to be in each other's company. A lot of relatives and friends joined us in this moment of happiness, and the house got a festive makeover. That we had a lot of dancing, a lot of teasing my sister, a lot of fun and frolic goes without saying. I wish her all the best in her new life.
3. A new internship offer - This time from a company in the north-west United States - My Dream Internship. Great work, wonderful exposure (both to a different culture as well as to technology), very good friends for company (4 people selected from IITKGP) and a helluva lot of money! The making of a dream summer! Only regret: I will not be able to stay under the shade of the Swiss Alps; I had been looking forward to it.

All of it garnished with assignments and tests.

Exams are coming, cleaning their feet on the doormat. I gotta start working ... and fast!
