My Dear DoMSIITes,
Being an engineer, it gave me an immense excitement to
pursue my journey from the gates of IIT Roorkee. Like a lot of other engineers
in the country, I felt an urge, to go beyond my profession as a software
developer and look forward to being a techno- manager. And here I was, with
eyes full of dreams of becoming someone big…
I disembarked the train at Roorkee station and tried to
inhale the city which was going to be my 'partner in crime' for the next 2 years.
But the first look rooted me to the ground. And my first and only scepticism
occurred that it was going to be hard living in a small town after living almost
half my life in the city. But the journey towards the Indian institute of
technology made it a lot easier. The famous Ganga Canal spanned nicely in the
way provided freshness that no words can describe. After completing
registration process in the campus, it was time to begin my hostel life.
Someone has rightly said, “The best years of your life are spent in your hostel.”
Since I had already lived in the hostel in my undergraduate years, it was no
stranger to me.
