What’s one thing that you miss from your time at IIT Kanpur?

And after kind of nightfall, I remember during one or two of other summers, I take my bike along with a couple of my friends. I think Bulla was one of the guys who joined me on these races on the Air strip. Something very uniquely IIT can't put. I don't know, too many institutes that have an airstrip where you can actually ride your bicycle and race

Time for some nostalgia. #iitk @bulla

Oh, I missed treasure Hunt. You mentioned bicycle races, to say, at a late night, it was pretty exhausting all night until early mornings. But I think that's other one thing that I really miss

@sshekhar @Arun - Antakshari! You both were involved if I remember right

Oh yes, Shashank, I really used to enjoy the treasure hunts as well. That reminded me there was a lot of such competition we all used to take part in like movie Quizzes and d*** Sharads and all that I used to enjoy movie quiz is something I have have actually conducted also a couple of times. So that was a blast. But the one event that I did not enjoy taking part in but really enjoyed watching was antakiri

Yep. Antarctic Shari was fun for sure. I don't might remember. I'm sure he will remember. I think I remember the guys who won that year eventually went into that TV show as well. Or poor or whatever ztvpn and something at the national level too. So that's kind of nice, informal in general. That was part of informal events. I remember he got into involved and then we set up the disco check. That was the first year

And we had made a very small electronic circuit, which we had, I think three LEDs. And basically the idea was whoever connects the hangar first, their Led stays on and the other two LEDs don't stay on. But these LEDs were so small and we were outdoors. So I think we had a shoe box inside which the circuit was. And we had a hole where I think it was surrounded by peeping inside the box to see which light turns on

I think also involved were Wiggoop and Sherlock Jan in doing Annuxary, preparing tough questions. And like which was the first, which was the song that Mohammed Rafi played back for something like that. I don't know if this was part of the informal, but I think this was a separate thing which was equally fun or some kind of a murder mystery you have to solve and you have to go. I think it may not have been part of informals, but it was another fun thing

Yeah, I didn't remember all these details of the buzzer and stuff. Now that you say that. But I think stockmania we did it as part of tech gritty, informal smile. I think the palace are what tech creepy. Kind of started from chemical engineering Department or something. I think it was part of that in that new convo hall. Or a convocation. Anyway, that's what I remember. They're pretty fun

That was fun. I used to enjoy the open free space there. I used to enjoy sometimes going for something. I don't know if you guys were there, but I remember maybe from some other wing. I used to go to Nankari and just go hang out in the middle of the night. And I remember going out to the Dhabas on the other side, right. Running away from the monkeys was fun other they would chase me or I would be chasing them. Good days, man
