graduate school - IIJNM

there was a perception i had about graduate schools. like internet connections and hot men. electronic education: laptop presentations and well everything flashy and rich. hmm....and ya a huge big green campus. i got the campus alrite...and the entire big green planet with it. ours is the only little speck of civilization this side of the earth. there is obviously only one road....because ALL ROAD(s) lead to iijnm. because the world is flat now, this road leads to...well...we dont walk that far we'll fall off the earth. hmm now about the promised internet connections and hot men. didnt get the latter. wat other things we didnt get was the cell network, public transport and neighbours. there is a fort (so called international school) but there r no humans there. first day of graduate school: 12 hours. dont even ask. 12 hours says it all. sunsets and exotic birds, throw in one or two scorpions and snakes and few rickety buses that can b seen one in every 100 days......thats nityanandnagar. here, the moon in always blue

Hell yeah I thought it was going to be this hi-tech place.IIJNM was the college I dreamed about going to because it was the only one I knew....And the prospectus showed amazing facilities.When i got here, the middle of the Sahara seems more connected.No actually, its not all that bad. We have terrorist activities, midnight sessions, wildlife nature trails....Do we need anything else??!!

being in the middle of nowhere would be an unforgettable experience. you will look back to these days with more and more affection as you grow older. i am fairly sure of that.

And also : such intense isolation would have evoked intense emotions which would not have been felt easily elsewhere.
