WIMWI: Place of Holes, Goals and Incredible Souls !!

It’s almost a year back when I entered this place. But after one year my impression about this place hasn’t changed much. The title of this article summarizes it well.

First thing you notice about the place is its unique architecture. There are many things which made it unique. But what attract me more is different sizes (if I counted correctly its more than 20) of HOLES this architecture have. In one of my club interview here (where I thought the interviewer was testing my creativity) I jokingly described this place as ‘Place where big holes also add beauty’. No doubt I screwed up badly in that interview but that didn’t change my opinion.

When I gave serious thought on this I realized their significance to this place. Everyone who comes here after cracking CAT feel sense of perfection. But the first thing this place tells you is that no one is perfect. Everyone have big or small holes in their knowledge. Few of them realize this, some try to hide them and those who ignore them end up seen them growing.

Everyone who comes here has some GOAL in their mind. It may be hefty pay packages and recognition for some or value additions and lifetime experience for others. Some have a clear idea of what they want out of this place at the end of two years. Some of them discover it in these two years and rare few never bother to answer this. This place offers you everything but finally it all boils down to what you want out of it?

Let me talk about one more interesting aspect, the ‘Incredible Souls’ which you find around you. Everyone has something or other which sets him or her apart from the crowd. As the days pass you realize the greatness of these people. You not only find them in students but in professors also. You find great pride in attending classes by professors who are MIT gold medalists, nation’s policy advisors and one who work with farmers and grass root innovators to change their life.

Hats off to their greatness !!!
