Work From Home, And Why I hate it

I work as a Software Developer at Haptik. As a process, we have monthly All Hands meeting where few of the leaders would present company wide updates of what happened so far, what is going to happen etc. In one such All Hands almost 8-9 months ago, this topic first started.

Computer Graphics (IS F311)

IS F311, an optional course (or elective as we call it) on introductory Computer Graphics, which I took in my last semester on campus at BITS Goa. It has been one of my favorite courses in college, and here is a summary about the same. Why am I writing a course summary on my blog? Well,...

Adios Amigos!!!

Yesterday, we were made to realize the fact that we will be leaving the campus soon, by means of a "Director's Tea Party". Many of us out there, who would be leaving this 180 acre piece of land in Goa that has been the heaven for our past 3.5 years, had a lot of feelings,...
