It's been a week's time since I landed up at the hostel in IIITB. Classes started on Monday, July the 31st. We have 5 courses to complete this semester. Among them is one Algorithms course....
The prof. who handles the course is the simplest person you can ever meet....He's a gold medallist at MIT, not Madras Institute of Technology, damnit....did his Ph.D work there with 6 Nobel laureates...got his B.Tech at IIT, Kanpur....M.S at MIT
He has biscuits and fruits for lunch and dinner....travels by the city's public transport system.
Now, here comes the best part....in his first class...he showed us an animation of a knight moving around a chessboard on all directions and decrypting a 'Sloka'
And then he jumped off into a realm of information....at the end of it we were all fully drained and did not understand a word of what he said!!!
He handled the subject at such a high level that everyone in class started wondering if it was right to come here in the first place....
Then we had a one-to-one session with our seniors...and they said that we would come across several situations like this and this was part of life here.....
Hmmm.....Lets see.....
