he he he ... this is very very very funny... I can't believe someone actually reads this blog... no offense but I am really surprised.

Well someone has left this comment

"Wish you had written something more about the Pilani campus, VFASTHostel, BITS Library Museum and the folks out there"

Well Ok,

We arrived in BITS Pilani campus on 16th midnight. And thankfully, VFAST is open 24 hrs. After showing our hall tickets, we where allocated rooms. Cost is rs 350 for 24hrs inclusive of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Where nice and comfortable rooms... and clean.

The Pilani campus is huge. On 17 th we had to report by 9.30 to the faculty division 3 of main BITS building. It is around 10-15 mins walk from VFAST. On the way, one passes by Hostels, staff quaters and lawns and grounds... Besides the main building is the BITS science museum. It's very nice museum with number of miniature models of different heavy industries. The museum reminded me a bit of the museum in Bangalore (on Kasturbha gandhi road), don't remember the name though. The museum has it's own miniature coal mine. It's good place to visit.

My viva was at 4 pm. So from 11 pm to 4, I roamed around and saw the museum, Birla mandir (wonderful temple.. must see, but have some weird timings...) Shiv ganga (saw it from distance) and the main building. One has to walk a lot, and because it is Rajsathan and we where carrying our 5kg laptops with us... it was tiring.

After the viva, went to the Library. Thats a superb building and wonderful library. Do note that if your carrying ur laptop with u in bag, then tell that to door keeper and donot deposit ur bag with door keeper. (Actually the door keeper himself told me this...).

But for me library is a place where one sits down and reads... Well generally people arriving have very less time to read books. So my advise is, see the building from outside, go inside and check the Paintings... and then leave immediately, don't waste time.

Well I hope that helps... it would also be helpful if the anonymous reveals himself/herself...

And i now expect chitnis to type something in the blog !!!

Cheers
Goremaniac....
