It’s Bengaluru and it’s final !
As you all know, a few students along with Pratibha Ma’am have been working for the past two weeks to organize an Industrial Visit for the T.E’s and although I knew about this I chose not to write about it because there were still no signs of concreteness in the plan.
However, now everything seems to be in place and even though certain things haven’t been done as yet, they are moving in the right direction and I’m confident that this is going to happen and it is something you will definitely regret if you miss it and you can take my word for it.
Many details haven’t been confirmed yet (or maybe it’s just that after the Goa episode, I want to confirm everything I hear to avoid the same incident again) and I’ll post ’em as soon as I get ’em.
You can’t ask for anything better than being over 800 km away from home with your friends for about 5 days. We’re only being charged around 3K for this trip (all inclusive) and it seems like a great deal….(wait a second, I don’t even know what services we’re getting….we’re in for a (hopefully pleasant) surprise. )
Don’t miss it as we won’t be having another Industrial Visit after this. (I’ll start asking the why not? questions after we come back from this Industrial Visit )
I don’t know about you guys, but I have a few friends living in Bangalore that I haven’t met in years and I’ve got ’em on my To-Do List (I mean, to MEET them, not really "DO"
)
And what’s more, now that I have a GPS device along with a SportsTracker account, I’ll be posting all our adventures and travels online. The Sportstracker records the exact path we travel and superimposes the recorded path on Google Maps, so it’s an amazing and a totally unique way to store journeys and memories.
Click here to have an idea of what I’m talking about. I’ve currently stored most of the paths I usually (and also unusually
) travel by foot, train, cab or driving myself.
This is my favourite one so far, as I walked home all the way from Grant Road Railway Station covering the entire stretch of Marine Drive (along with pictures to prove it) and walking a distance of 8 kilometres. Be sure to check out the pictures, I’ve even tagged the slabs at 0m, 1000m and 2800m distances and they’ve been geo-tagged for your convenience
.
I’ll also be armed with a 5MP camera so I can capture all the pastings and pranks that I’ll be playing on you guys memories that we can cherish after our trip.
I’ve made my preparations. Have you?
