Posting from the IMI computer centre
First and foremost -> IMI is quite far off from New Delhi station. The autowala told me that you should have got down at Nizamuddin. So people joining later should take a note of it.
The infra is quite good, although not very spread out. Saw IIFT and Fore as well, quite close by. Had a plate of Maggi and a glass of Neembu Pani at the IMI canteen. There are a couple of persons incharge of the mess :- Ranjana Sachdeva and Mr. Banerjee (forgot his name). You can pay for the mess to either of them. Payment is made for 3 months or more in advance. I'll have to check out for some ATM nearby and would make the payment by evening today.
Met Nikhil (nikhil_aero). He's really very helpful. He showed me around a bit, in fact he got me here to the computer centre (which is also pretty decent). Also, he talked with the concerned people regarding my concerns. Overall, really made me feel at ease.
The Adhchini hostel has only wifi and no LAN connection (as told by Nikhil). So the connection speed would be slower. Nikhil told Mr. Paras (of the computer centre) to get my wifi network setup in my hostel room. But the good thing about it is that no site is blocked.
In the IMI campus, gtalk is blocked although gmail is working. Some other sites may be blocked as well, have to check that out.
The hostel wala for now is Mr. Tapan (09868574768 ); Mr. Garimella has gone off to Bangalore. So, people who'll be joining later could contact him for directions, queries etc. Although don't think it would be required as auto walas knew the address. It's supposedly quite a posh area.
That's the update from me till now. My wifi would probably be setup sometime after 7 pm (as told by Mr. Paras). So till then, I would be off from here. Hope to get my room soon and get some rest. I really need it
Overall, a very positive impression at the start!!
Hope to see you soon puys!!!
