MIT College & Hostel Life

     DAY 15 (30-09-22) 5:40 AM  - Today was a rainy day so couldn't go for my morning run. Anyways I wanted to sleep longer as I slept around 12. I am very excited as we have our fresher's party today 😃 which starts from evening 6 PM. And I wanted classes to end asap.  First period was Physics Lab and I completed my experiment within an hour.  So during the break I had just gone to check the B-com Freshers party and more than a party it was a function in our auditorium. Then we had MOS and he continued with Equilibrium. Post Lunch instead of BE we had maths and I actually left my maths book. So had to continue on my BE notebook. Then last period was  UHV and Ma'am surprisingly she took our attendance and left us 15 minutes earlier.  We had a lot of time to get ready today but as soon as we expected something good, it was pouring. This rain could have spoilt our party too 😨.  We needed to collect gate-pass before leaving. Before we actually ...

   DAY 14 (29-09-22) 5:20 AM - Yeah so my day starts with a smooth run until when a dog just starts following everywhere. Literally everywhere. But it wasn't like a that big of an issue where I need to stop running. Maybe he likes me 😜.  So after ages I had idly vada and it was decent despite being cold. First we had English and we had to finalise our topic for our presentation.  Then we had BME and he finally he starts the class with a new topic instead of wasting time on asking guys to solve sums. Maths we learnt Gauss theorem. Didn't know that Gauss was even a good mathematician 😮. Had to miss the first 15 minutes of our class as I was called for Document Verification. So now at least I didn't need to some library or go to doctor to take his sign on my Immunization form. Post Physics we had a long break which includes lunch. Chinese was there btw. So had to go to the library to get the correct BME book. Then by 2 I had gone to the Physics lab to complete the New...

   DAY 13 (28-09-22) 5:20 AM - A very pleasant start to my day as I see a lovely tinge of orange on a clear blue sky. This really made me feel like really happy. So first period we had Workshop and it was literally for two hours. Initially I thought it was time - pass class but when I had to complete the readings and diagram it took a very long time. Post workshop we had a 2 hour break where I had gone to the doctor to get his sign on my Immunization form. Then stayed in the library to complete some work and studies until we have lunch. After the long break we had the very boring BME where sir as usual he wasted time on solving one numerical. Last 15 - 20 minutes he starts with a new topic.  Then we had maths and to be honest this sir is a very nice teacher. Like he is very chill. I really understand what he teaches in class. Last two periods we had BE and Physics and I was expecting class to end earlier . Our class timetable is really messed up. Instead of giving a break...

    DAY 12 (27-09-22) 5:20 AM - Woke up to see only one pair of shoes 😢. So I had to change my track for running today. Instead of the conventional run around the ground I changed tracks and had gone for a longer run within the campus. So had come back to complete some math work which sir gave on teams.  I was super stoked as today was a half day and I had more time to finish my work and play today. Post breakfast I left a bit earlier than usual to college. This time on my wave-board 😎.  Reached early as first period was maths today. He continued with what was taught yesterday. After BE we had a 15 minute break and I had gone to the library to check some books which I can take during the weekend.  After break we had MOS and he started with Equilibrium. Then by 1:15 we had second half off. So had gone to the library for an hour.  But we were called back earlier as we had our document verification. I wanted to stay in the library for long but couldn't....

    DAY 11 (26-09-22) 5:40 AM - Woke up a bit earlier than usual when I'm at home as I needed to leave for college asap. So had to eat my breakfast back over there.  So this time I reached around 8:00 AM and had enough time to sort my room again. And finally I could reach for class without any delay. First period was MOS and then during CPI we had BME. After these two classes we had maths today and we started with Matrices.  Last two weeks we had maths from 5 to 6 in the evening and now since he moved his class to this time we could leave earlier. Tbh the lunch has been improving over the last two weeks. Initially we even planned for some alternatives for lunch but Ig I am getting used to this. So during the break I was planning to use my wave-board but it started drizzling over here. So I had gone to the library for studying. Last two periods we had English and Physics and then college ended for the day. So I had completed 1/4th of the maths worksheet which sir gave...

  6:30 AM - It's Friday and the entire day I had forgotten a lot of stuff.  Firstly waking up early as I was glued to my bed an even after waking up I was trying hard to get off my bed. So today's the day I get ready for going home to spend the weekend.   Second is forgetting to collect my gate pass so that I can go home at the right time. So I decided to collect it during my lunch break. Third was I left my record and lab manual in my room and I had to rush back to bring it. Fourth was during Physics lab was when I did the wrong experiment but the good thing was I got marks for what I did 😎. And fifth was post lunch break I had gone to the library to study and complete my lab record work and yet again I forgot to collect my gate pass. So soon after BE class we had one more break and I finally get my gate pass.  Then again I had to go back to the library to issue some books so that I can use it during the weekend. After UHV, our college ended and Mom was waitin...

  DAY 9 (22-09-22) 5:20 AM  -  Day starts with yet another morning run. Then I came back to take rest and just revise some topics before college.  This time for breakfast the food was decent but I had to eat burnt toast. Coz both my bread slices got stuck in the toaster 😞. Then I had to go for college and we had English first. Nothing much but it was just a small reading session. Then we had BME and tbh it was a very boring session. Like half the class was spent on just answering one diagram question as he kept calling guys to answer until someone gets it right 😒. After a good 15 minute break we had Maths and we finally finished Differentials after covering Bernoulli's theorem.  Then we had physics where we had a small revision of 12th Wave optics. Towards the end we just learnt Newton's Rings. Finally the cafeteria gave something different from boring  dal rice and roti. Fried rice , veg soup/curry and jalebi was served today and it was good. Post lunch ...

  DAY 8 (21-09-22) 5:20 AM  -  Day starts with freshening up with a small walk. Reason is Barking Dogs. Not one, two but 5 dogs disturbed my run today. Like every time I tried changing my direction they just kept interrupting me. I tried my best to ignore them but they just keep gnarling and barking. One dog was even howling. So after walking for sometime I had to go back to my room. This time I did a 15-20 minute workout.  So finally the hostel chef had a toaster to toast the soft and brittle bread which they served a week ago. And obviously it was better.  By 8:40 I had gone for college. This time I wore a formal shirt given by one of my relatives. And when I was leaving some guys thought I'm going for a office meeting or I'm some faculty over here 🤣. So we had Electronics workshop and we learnt the principle of an electrical vehicle. Like we saw the device and how it worked.  By 10 I was there in the library revising BME notes and I could understand the...

  DAY 7 (20-09-22) 5:10 AM  -  Day starts with freshening up and a run. This time I ran for about 20 minutes and then we had our cricket team practice. But it ended by 8 and we should be ready by that time. I had misplaced my wallet and then after 15 minutes I realise that my wallet was deep in my school bag. So I was late for college by 5-10 minutes. First period was Maths.  Next we had Basic Electronics and after a 15 minute break we had MOS. So he continued with problems and then he thought Varginon's theorem.  BME(Mechanical Engineering) was the last period he revised about some topics related to steam like critical temperature ,saturated water etc. Post Lunch I had gone to the library to revise as I had half day today. By 5 I had gone back to the hostel room for tea. They even gave Vada Pav along with it. Vada Pav - Chai combo is really good.  Then I got my BOAT Airdopes  which my parents had  ordered for me and it is too good. By 7 I had gon...

  DAY 6 5:30 AM  -  Day starts with freshening up and getting ready to leave for hostel. I spent good time with family during the weekend. So whatever was needed to shop for my college was done yesterday. I reached hostel by 8:20 and had to arrange most of my clothes and hangers before college. I was late for MOS class by 5 min and he warned me. But my reason of delay was valid. He let us in and we solved problems. Next we had CPI and we had BE instead. So again we had to do practice problems . Then we got a break from 11:30 to 2:30. During that break I had to finish my physics lab manual work which took 40 minutes. Then I had studied for half an hour had lunch and then again studied for an hour. by 2:30 we had to go back to our classroom. Pretty long break it was. We had English and she was explaining about the project we need to do before our In semester tests. Last two periods we had Physics and Maths. Maths teacher wanted to take the CPI class today morning so that he...

  DAY 5 (16-09-2022) 5:30 AM  -  Day starts with freshening up and this time we had gone out of our hostel for a small walk. We walked to a nearby lake which is like 2 km away from our hostel block. We saw beautiful trees, corn fields which can be a potential alternative on days when our mess food sucks. Then had college from 9 and our first period was Physics Lab. It was kind-off time-pass class as we didn't do anything. she sent us an hour earlier. So decided to go to library to check some books and study. After an hour of study  we had MOS and we had to solve problems. We had to use calculator for solving. Post lunch we had Basic Electronics and I had read some information from the Electronics book in our library already so it was easy to understand the topic. Then again we had an hour's break and again I had gone back to the library to solve some Math problems. By 3:45 we had our last period which was Universal Human Values (UHV) and the teacher was the one whom ...

  DAY 4 (15-09-2022) 5:30 AM  -  Day starts with freshening up and going for a run, then getting ready for college. Seriously the Hostel breakfast food was pathetic today. Stale pooris man. Even the fresh ones were tasting bad. Was feeling home sick. I really miss home food 😭😭 So I rushed to college and we had  English/Communication class. We had a fun quiz session where we all interacted and then later on we played dumb charades. Next we had BME. After seeing the first session I thought was gonna sleep again this time but this time I found the session engaging coz he was teaching something interesting. After the 15 min break we had maths and we had to learn Homogeneous method of differentiation. Then we had Physics and he started Wave Optics. But it was interesting to see how they could bring Maxwell's equation in wave optics. Post lunch we had Basic Electronics or BE. So he continued about semiconductors. Next we had an hour break and I had gone back to my hostel...

  DAY 3 (14-09-2022) 5:30 AM - Fresh again for a run and then taking bath, this is how my day in hostel starts and hopefully it continues. So went for breakfast and tbh breakfast wasn't that great, seriously the eggs were not boiled properly and the jam/marmalade was extremely sour. By 8:40 I had gone for class via the usual shortcut but the shortcut is pretty long.  So we first had Workshop and our class(62 students) were split into 3 groups. I had Electronics workshop this week and the room was kind off empty. Our workshop teacher was just explaining about carbon resistors. So technically it was a proper Current-Electricity revision. We could see the carbon resistors and the colors on the bands. Workshop ended by 11 and then we had a long break of 2 hrs. So I had gone back to the Basketball court and guys were playing cricket there. So for sometime we played there and the went back to the campus for lunch. Post lunch we had BME and seriously with the pace at which my BME tea...

  DAY 2 (13-09-2022) 5:30 AM - Alarm woke me up, but as usual had to put it off. So my day starts here - woke up at 5:40 freshened up and had gone for my morning run. Basically its like 5-6 rounds of the cricket ground in front. But little did I realise that the ground was wet and I had only one pair of shoes. So my new pair of shoes got dirty on the second day itself. So after running I see a bunch of guys fielding(cricket) in the football field. So I joined them because next week we have college team selections so can't miss that. Fielding session was good as our seniors played nicely. Then I had to take bath and rush for breakfast coz it was 8:15 and I have college from 9.So we had Maths and yeah we learnt Basic differentials. Next we had Basic Electronics and yeah it covered "Semiconductors" one of my favourites in Physics. After a 15 minute break we had Mechanics of Solids(MOS). So our MOS teacher is a chill guy but punishes guys who come late by 10 minutes. We had a...

         DAY 1 (12-09-2022) First Day in College and it was completely a different world. Students from different states had joined this beautiful MIT Campus here in Yelahanka. But before that had to counter a heavy traffic at the Bagalur Cross which is not that surprising in Bengaluru. Traffic is Synonymous to Bengaluru. First we had MOS(Mechanics of Solids). Not like it was a fun introductory session as started with sharing the plan and curriculum for the 1st semester. We were supposed to have CPI but Sir didn't come. Next we got a 2 hrs break which includes Lunch break too. So during that I had gone to my Hostel to check-in my room. It took a while but we got our room. Triple sharing room with 2 very nice roommates - Preetham from Bangalore and Atha from Hyderabad. I just took a small round to check the sports facilities and man they are very good ones. The football ground, Basket ball court and the cricket ground was amazing. The Cricket Ground also has a tu...
