After an exciting and confusing journey of four years, I can call myself an Engineer, to be more specific a Software Engineer. I am at home now doing almost nothing. But still whenever I stand on my roof looking at the students in my locality who are still pursuing their Engineering degrees, I proudly stand in such a posture to make them realize that what you are doing today has been done by me and it feels as if I have done it years ago.
I said goodbye to Pantnagar on 9th June, 09. I was missing Pantnagar a lot. But after a few days while chatting with my batch mates, I realized that they are missing it more than I do. They prepared a list of words related to Pantnagar or defining the life of a B.Tech student at Pantnagar. This list was formed when Bhawana mam and Kanika were chatting with each other. Poonam and I also contributed to it adding a few more words.
So, here is the A to Z of Pantnagar :-
