I reached Valparai yesterday with Manju. This ride is probably going to be the last ride for the year. Not bad for the year I restarted, isn’t it? I will write about the ride in detail once I reach Bangalore. For now, I can only say Valparai is as beautiful as it was...
It’s that time of the year (Weekly Notes 21/2023) again. I am in Chennai for Paradox. I like these yearly visits. The year 2023/24 has been exceptional. Some of the students who had completed the course have been placed.
I was at the IITM campus the weekend. I met a bunch of students and witnessed some of them graduating. Overall it was a happy experience. I should plan for a more extended visit next time.
I am at IITM, Chennai, for Paradox. It’s my second Paradox festival. I love meeting students, faculty, and other members (at least once a year. I am going back tomorrow night, to Bangalore.
I have been a professional engineer for 20 years now. I started in Jan/2003 as a Software Engineer for Infosys and Mysore. It was my first paid job. Ideally, I should have written about it in Weekly Notes 02/2023; I somehow missed it. Anyway, It’s been an exciting 20 years, and I hope I have another 20 years in me. I want to cover aspects of it separately throughout this year.
Last weekend I was in Chennai for Paradox2022, the first offline student festival for IITM BSc Students. I have been teaching MAD01 and MAD02 since 2020 for BSc students personally; it’s been a great experience. But I never got to meet any of them in person, so I thought it would be an excellent chance to meet them. With the bonus of seeing more than a hundred students getting their diplomas.
