“There is no free lunch, but there are always free
T-shirts.”

IISc is
well-known for its green and beautiful campus and a jog about the campus early
in the morning is perhaps the best way to explore and experience this beauty.
And when there are T-shirts in the waiting, this experience becomes quite
interesting (and many a time rewarding!).
Many were a part
of such an experience during the Rajyotsava run that took the participants
through a detailed panorama of all the nooks and corners of the campus, winding
though slopes and narrow lanes, greeted by bouts of fresh breath every moment
and embracing the tickling sensation of cold.
To add more to
the gala, all the participants were treated with "idli-vada" at the end in an
atmosphere that was suffused with the exuberance of patriotism. The run indeed
served as an ideal kick-start for the festive fervor of Rajyotsava in the day
that followed.
