This week was pretty eventful, had an opportunity to go to my Alma Mater. It was so much fun, the instant I touched the gates of my alma mater, I got nostalgic. I reminisced myself carrying drafter in first year, getting bored to death during electronics lectures (2nd year), having ball in microprocessors lab (3rd year), and not to forget the endless slogging nights in the lab to get the final year project working. All this came flashing in just an instant, and overwhelming feeling of belonging engulfed me. Also met the great person who's instrumental in helping me develop uncanny liking for microprocessors and assembly programming, Joglekar Sir. Glad he still remembers me and my buddy, Arun.
I was invited there to judge the projects at the most revered event @ PICT: Impetus & Concepts. Students from all over India are invited to participate in this event. This is one of the best times when students get an opportunity to showcase their abilities and talents. It is also the GREATEST chance for companies looking for hiring people with specific skill sets. I myself got a good job offer from my first employer after my group won the first prize sponsored by the same company. I make it a point to visit this exhibition every year without fail, and for past 2 years I've been invited to judge the projects. I never miss this opportunity which makes me feel 'I want to learn more'.
It's so much fun and exciting to see what students can do. The reason to go there is try and give something back to your college, and at the same time learn about new technologies and concepts. After judging allotted projects (on Wednesday and Saturday) I spent all the time looking and understanding other projects. Though drained at the end of the day, I was feeling very ecstatic.
I recommend that everyone should go and have a look at few projects during this event, you will be flooded with wild ideas and imagination. You will realize true meaning of the phrase: 'You never know enough'.

You can look at a thousand things that are correct and well done, or few that aren't! I chose the former :)
