Its a week already since I arrived in Goa, and to confess i have already succumbed to the "vices" of Goa..... :). Explored panjim a bit, gorged buffet at the legendary haunt "fidalgo", got sloshed....sigh!!!. There are still places to explore, people to meet , soak the goan sunshine instead of getting soaked in the heavy rains!!!!!.....my schedule is already filled.....
Not to deviate from the course of action, we are already knee deep in action here at GIM. With the advent of the gruelling ( well.....at least for some people!!!!) 3 week long foundation course, things have started to fall in place a bit. Still we have enough time to explore the nearby scenic areas. The inland beauty of Goa really amazes me,compared to the beaches and all, it is hugely underrated. With the occasional sprinkle of rain, the greenery of the place literally lightens up....
Coming back to the foundation classes, it has been fun interacting with profs and fellow batch mates alike. Some people really capture your imagination, some hijack them and in some cases you still wonder "what was that?". But I guess these are perspectives which one needs to shift accordingly :). From the initial reactions one can gauge the fact that the faculty here is really up to their task and they know their "p's" and "q's" damn well.... I can already see my future :p
Our campus here is promoting a real novel concept of RFID cards for your every need on campus be it food ,laundry, stationary, snacks anything. Every transaction on campus is cashless transaction. So, up the hill cash doesn't work (pun intended!!). And as far as I know other than GIM none other institute can boast of such a unique facility. Of course there's a flipside, if you lose the card you are broke or the guy who finds it will make you :) :p
The campus is still in a progressive stage but once it is complete it will be a sight to see.
Quite unusually it has not rained for over 20 hours now, its a first for me since I arrived so am not complaining.
Rain or no rain, first week here was quite eventful. Hope my cheerful tone doesn't get caught in the myriad shenanigans of the coming weeks. :) :)
Later,
Abhishek
P.s. TT is a big hit in the hostel (the only "entertainment" here)
