Ramblings of a sleep deprived mind..Project Thomso

So, for a while i was toiling with the idea of actively conducting a marketing/financial survey. But the target customers and the prospective results was somewhat not clicking together. So, why the hell I am writing this post, you ask me! Sorry, to get all "The reluctant fundamentalist" way of writing, but it sounded like fun.

So, here comes Thomso in the picture. Thomso, the annual fest of IIT Roorkee which hosts a mind blowing event every year, witnessing participants from around the country and some foreigners too. The estimation ranges to more than 10k students both from IIT and other colleges coming in to Roorkee. So, what am I reaching at, you ask me? Wait and be patient, you will know it all. So, as I was saying, this fest provides lot of dough to circulate within the campus and the city. And to learn the significance of this money could give an insight to what people consume.

My first month experience of IIT Roorkee MBA


My Dear DoMSIITes,

Being an engineer, it gave me an immense excitement to pursue my journey from the gates of IIT Roorkee. Like a lot of other engineers in the country, I felt an urge, to go beyond my profession as a software developer and look forward to being a techno- manager. And here I was, with eyes full of dreams of becoming someone big…


I disembarked the train at Roorkee station and tried to inhale the city which was going to be my 'partner in crime' for the next 2 years. But the first look rooted me to the ground. And my first and only scepticism occurred that it was going to be hard living in a small town after living almost half my life in the city. But the journey towards the Indian institute of technology made it a lot easier. The famous Ganga Canal spanned nicely in the way provided freshness that no words can describe. After completing registration process in the campus, it was time to begin my hostel life. Someone has rightly said, “The best years of your life are spent in your hostel.” Since I had already lived in the hostel in my undergraduate years, it was no stranger to me.
