Life at IIT began with my Yamaha RX-100. Dad had promised to buy
me a motorbike if I made it into IIT. He kept his promise. I bought an
RX-100 soon after I entered IIT. People called it maroon in color,
but I called it the color of wine, because it had a similar effect
on me!
But there were other excitements to be had too. During my second year,
I took part in the inter-hostel choreography competition consisting of 6 dancers.
The theme was The Emotions of Man. It was a fun-filled one month of practice
and nightouts.
We were all inexperienced, but enthusiasm was high. We created our own steps,
compiled our own selection of music, and ended up snatching the first prize.
Then there was the annual cultural festival (Rendezvous) that
drew crowds from all over India. This festival was food for the
intellectual and the vellas alike. The hasya-kavi sammelan,
the treasure hunt, the gunny-bag races, choregraphy show, rock show,
podium, and the sprawling campus all added to the festive mood.
Time spent at IIT has been one of the best times of my life.
IIT was also the place where I developed my virtual reality browser
(Web3D), something I am proud of to this day.
