11/1/03 : Celebrated the Uruka of "Bhugali Bihu" with a party
at Baruah Sir's Quarter. It was a nice gathering of about 25 peoples. The cold was so severe that we had to take the help
of campfire. But we had to enjoy the real cold while returning back from the party at night. There was dense fog everywhere
and we can hardly see the way few meters ahead. The party ended nicely with an hot coffee at our hostel canteen.
18/01/03-26/01/03 : I was in Mysore for the International
School on Crystal Growth with my P.HD colleagues Atul (Swamiji) and Jyoti Da. We are kept in a nice Guest House and had a
nice time in Mysore. We also found out time to visit the Mysore palace and the Brindavan Garden. The school was attended by
many international scholars who were experts in their own fields. So it was an nice learning experience for a new kid in the
field like me.

27/01/03-29/01/03 : GE called the students who has received
their scholarship for an felicitation function and I thus got this opportunity to visit their office JFWTC at Bangalore. So I moved to Bangalore from Mysore. It was really a nice experience where I met all the other
GE scholars from other institutes. GE took us to their research facilities and it was a great interaction. We got to know
more about the company we were associated with. On 29th I was interviewed in GE for their EEDP programme. The result is still
awaited. But I was less nervous as I already had an job in my hand.
27/03/03 : Defended my Thesis in my final oral examintion. It means that I am an M.Tech now.
The presentation went well (better then I expected). I am leaving to Bangalore on 30th sunday to join GE on Monday 31st.

it a lot and had a chance to see Pune along with my Training. I also met Anil and Kothari (IIT Friend's) there. I stayed with
them for one day. Also visited Lonavala (near Kkhandala).

a good fight.

time today. Also met Bitupan Saikia, my school friend after a long time. Also met many other peoples from Assam. Rupam (from
Moran) was also there. He called me for lunch on 17th sunday. It was nice that my lunch was booked, as I was alone at that
time as my rommies was visiting their relatives.
27/09/2003: Participated in JFWTC badminton in the mixed doubles category. I was not prepared to play as
I was out of practice. Shwetha Reddy was doing her internship and was looking for an mixed doubles partner. So I thought of
giving it a try. She is a good player, and we managed to reach till the semifinal. We ended up as third. All credit goes
to Shwetha. If I could have played somewhat better we could have won. Never mind, it was a nice experience.
4/10/2003-5/10/2003: Went to Mysore on the occasion of Dusherra. We were five of them - Me, Arvind, Jayadeep,
Sujeet and Puneet. We stayed there in Arvinds Uncle's house. Aunty was a great hostess, and she cared for us a lot. Had a
chance to eat home made food after a long time and we made the most out of it :-) On 4th we visited Brindavan Garden (it was
my third visit there) and came back to see the Palace. The palace was beautifully illuminated for the occasion of Dusherra
and was looking GREAT. The next day we spent the morning in the zoo. Enjoyed the grand procession in the evening. It
was really worth watching. Reached back Bangalore at night. The journey was tiring, but we had a lot of adventure....
18/10/2003: Family Day was celebrated in our centre (JFWTC). This is the day when the employees can bring
their family to the centre. There were lot's of fun events which included childrens painting competition, employees painting
competition, Rangoli competition. I liked most the Fancy Dress competition of employee's children. They were all so cute.
One kid was just 11 months old and he was sitting in a toy car wearing a ferrari dress. He was Michlael Schumacher :-). It
was all fun and eneded up well with dinner.
20/11/2003-30/11/2003: Went home after about an year. The visit was great. Took some gifts for my parents
and sisters. Crashed our car one day while on the way to Sibsagar. Nothing happened luckily to us but the car had serious
damage. Mom was busy with town committee elections. My brother also managed to find out time and come home. So it was a family
get together. Had lots of fun.
25/12/2003-29/12/2003: Visited Kerela. We were three, my roommate Jayadeep, his friend Ramesha and me. First
we went to Wayanad. It's a district attached to Karnataka, filled with natural beauties. Stayed there till 28, and in the
evening moved to Jay's house in Kozhikode (Calicut). Moved back to Bangalore on 29th night. The journey was tiring with lot's
of trekking, but we enjoyed it a lot. Got to know more Kerela dishes and also lost some weight during trekking :-)
31/12/2003: Last day of this year. Planned dinner with friends. A new resturant was opened near our house
called "Little Italy". So we decided to try out there. But at last only two remained for dinner, me and Sujeet (my B-Tech
friend). So we had a great Italian dinner. Nice food and a nice sleep. Waited till 12:00 midnight to wish new year to friends
and family. It was a good year gone. So Bye Bye 2003........
