Ultrastructure <> Hyper-lecture

So yesterday was my first day in the class. Pretty excited, thought yes this time I'll be the best student and shall follow whatever prof. says. Before talking about the class lets talk about the classroom.

What is a class room? An auditorium/movie hall (which is obviously has A/C, heating, Wi-fi, Carpeting, blah blah), which has one complete wall of black boards. Really professor can pull down one board, writes on it than can send it up then follows the code on the second board. He used some 9 to 10 boards to explain tower of Hanoi. A projector where the screen is retractable (vanishes in the ceiling) when he is using the board.

Here we don't have infrastructure, we have ultrastructures. Now I know why they charge you so much, when u go to Leela Palace u don't care about the bill. Here washrooms are not a place to write graffiti, rather here students don't have creativity to write those happy rhymes ;-). Instead they are cleaner (and techie) than what I use to have in my MNC. Coffee machines have 20 options of drinks, snacks had loads of nutritional info but no price tag !!

Now coming to the lecture ....actually I can not write about it. As it was a class where only Tower of Hanoi was the thing which I heard before. Rest was bouncer ....really. It was more of a maths class solving some real time probs (ex) in air. After ever prob-sol. he was all happy along with few grad students rest of us were wondering whether we are in a wrong class. He promised that before Stern starts his management classes, he takes the full responsibility to make our life miserable. I am sure, I am gonna royally screwed :-(

Here profs. recommend there own books for the courses. My Algo prof. says he doesnt agree with Knuth (Donald Ervin Knuth) on this or agrees on that. As if he is going to define it again ....may be yes. Another prof. is the son of Mr. David Korn....yes you got it right one who made the Korn shell in UNIX.

To bear all these guys, during the orientation I got one iPod. Ya free iPod!! Those are the most throw away things in any of the events. Just you have to be lucky enough and u guys know about my luck. And I feel its because of the wishes of my friends .......its because of U.
