It is more than a month since I joined IIITMK. How do I feel about it ? The first few days of course went in discovering this lovely sea side city. It was also an experience getting used to a new work place, new colleagues, new culture. Once the euphoria has died down, it is time to take stock and look ahead.

I noticed that in this one month I did not pick up a quarrel with anybody. I did not have to scream at anybody or bang the desk in pent up anger. Which speaks a lot about how I feel here, and about this place itself. This place is not without flaws. But these are flaws which people are sincerely trying to correct. This is such a great contrast to the four years of torture I faced in our JNTU colleges back home. How can one set of people be so methodical and professional, and another set of people be so incompetent and foolish ? How do these JNTU colleges survive and make money, in spite of all the chaos which they create and nurture, and all the dumb people they have recruited ?

I hope this feel-good mood will last for the rest of my stay here. I hope I will never have to show the other face of 'dynamite" Partha to these people. Keep your fingers crossed and taped.

Today I join Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management - Kerala (IIITMK) at Trivandrum. Beautiful place, cute office, nice people. In less than an hour I had all my formalities over and was also given an IBM Thinkpad laptop and connection to the net. Wishh all institutions in India work like this.

Hope to achieve a lot in this place.

Wish me good luck.

It is almost certain now. Partha  will join soon Indian Institute of Information technology and management kerala (IIITMK) at Trivandrum. IIITMK is a small institute filled with great intellectuals. This is in sharp contrast to the private engineering colleges which Partha has seen. All these were big institutes, filled with people with small intellects. At last, the torture is over.

Partha's new address and contact details will be posted in this blog soon.
