I’m one of those people who gets excited whenever it happens that I check the time and it is ’00:00’ or ’20:20’. So, I’m pretty pleased, right now!

Now, we’ll start right from the stairs leading to the Girls’ Hostel and end at the ‘Mandir-wali’ stairs.
There’s a long straight road that ends at ‘Titanic Point’. Full credit for this christening goes to the junior batch. Initially, we did mock their choice, but, by repeated use, the juniors have managed to get the rest of us to begrudgingly agree. Well, to their credit, it is a tad bit more convenient than ‘behind FPM Block’ and definitely more aesthetically appealing.
Now, the long straight road. All the way, out on the left side you can see far & beyond, plains, mountains and the highway. On the right, you pass by Married Student Residence , Student Mess-2, a Hostel Block and Executive Residence-3 to finally end at the FPM Block. (Fellowship Programme in Management aka Ph. D students’ Block). The FPM Block is perfectly circular in shape and is rather cute.

Once behind the FPM Block i.e. at Titanic point, there is almost always cool breeze and good company to be enjoyed. Walk around the block and out from the other side. Walk past ER-3 , the stairs leading up to the library, Student Mess-1 (Main Mess) and the other Girls’ Hostel to find yourself back at the base of the stairs where it all began!

All Hostel Blocks (not the recently constructed ones) are the proud owners of two names- one of the format SR-X (Insert a number in place of X) and the other of the form X-Block (Insert a letter of the English Alphabet here). The ‘X-Block’ format was the older one and the other one is the latest. While the blocks are labelled as SR-01, SR-02 and so forth, everyone refers to them only as ‘A-Block or J-Block’. I shall compile a comprehensive list, of what’s what, to save myself the confusion! Also, each block has its speciality which definitely merits a mention on the list too!
