The 'High Tea' at the legendary Indian Institute of Science for freshers

Today was a historic moment(well, every day is historic as we are the 101st batch of students at IISc:1911-2011) for all the new students in IISc when we were cordially welcomed into this iconic birthplace of first class research in our country, which has produced and is still producing leaders who have revolutionised almost each and every area of science and technology over some tea and snacks.
We were greeted by the honourable director of IISc Prof.P. Balaram, our associate director Prof. Balakrishnan, our undergraduate studies dean Prof. Dasgupta, chief hostel warden, students' council chairman and many other important dignitaries at IISc.
Eventually after an enlightening session as we reached the conclusion of the programme we had to encounter the ferocious Meghraja, the ever persistent entity, particularly for 8 months in Bangalore, who probably disliked the fact that our honourable associate director rather warned us to be prompt in facing him at unexpected times.
So personally I would look forward to these life-changing 4 years of my BS course at IISc with a balanced scientific temperament, vigour and unfathomable curiosity.
