well i dont think so I would need to pack my bags


coz my b-school is next to mt place so no need any packings


ya but i need to find all my stuff at home

GUITARS, GYM STUFF, BOOKS BIKE AND WHAT NOT!!!!!!!!!!

i m already thinking how will i manage?????????

I will be joining IIM indore.
My small list :
lots of VIP stuff(vests and briefs)
T shirts,coupe of jeans,a few formal wears..need to buy a blazer
laptops etc..the usual stuffs..
I am planning to bring a few posters of aishwarya rai, rani mukerjee(or preethi zinta)and a poster of the Governator aka Arnold swazeneggar. Can we stick them in my room ?

I thinking of bringing in a small glass bowl(or some horlicks bottle) to keep a Siamese fighter fish.

I wish i had that 2MBPS connection there for all these engineering days!!!kazaa,bearshare...

How abt the LAN games played there..UG?Unreal tournament(or UT2004?)?,Quake?AOM?...anyway,I will try to bring in all those installation CDs.

What do I take to "ko-rr-i-kode"?...THe campus...aaaah..the campus, is..well...divine...and i'm just talking about the snaps I've seen!!.. The downside to residing amongst fluffy clouds on mountaintops is that you don't exactly have access to foodworld et al do you??
IIMK seniors..some gyan..although i realise there's a looooooooooooooong way to go yey before I set foot in god's own country..

I m heading to my home town

No worry.

hey,
Im going to B and these are the things to get :

1)Bike :- The roads outside IIMB are too dirty to walk...and dude,autos in
bangalore kill!...most important biking in bangalores weather is Divine!

2)Comp + Woofers :Since the rooms at IIMB are pretty small...i dont think so we
can fit a decent music system without cramping the place..better to get woofers in
the comp itself...

3)Lots of Sweatshirts : You can easily wear them for 6 months out of 12 (atleast in
the evening!!!)

4)Cameras : Most important...Nothing as important as a camera...if its digital its
better for everyone...you and your corridor mates and your real mates!

hey guys,
hope someone coming to B too has such a collection...
i will contribute for the MOVING charges and the CD Cases...just get the movies man !!!

dimwitz0 Says

p.s: by the way i know a guy who has 88 GB of music videos...wat wud u say to that :P

All I can say is that he wont watch any of those videos

Hey dimwitz0

6. my cd collection

Can u tell me ur exact location n where u keep the keys of ur house...
am coming thr on a robbing spree!!

btw..where did u get all this stuff from esp. th sitcoms n the movie stuff!!??
And if am right u ll need 3-4 gunny bags to carry all this stuff ...
coz if 1 movie on occupies 1.2 GB on an average
179 will occupy 1.2 * 179 ~ 214 GB ~ 360 Cds
And this is just the tip of the iceberg...coz i hv counted only movies

hey cooldexter,
answer to ur questions:
1.my location is an obscure part of west bengal. u wont make it to my place its so remote
2. We have an amazing LAN out here. Nething n Everything{i repeat.. nething & everything for emphasis } is available here. And if something is not available u jus ask the frndly neighbourhood guys to dnld it from KAAZA.
3. the source of my treasure : KAZAA , Tesla, Shareaza
4. all movies are in .avi format so fits in a single CD. and a single frnds episode amounts to around 70-90 MB after divx compression.
5. i think in all there are around 236 Cds so that will take 5 50CD dubbas of moser-baer
6. and yeah if space doesnt permit...what the heck.i still got 2 60 GB hdds.
7. and yeah the movie count is increasing :D:D i just dnlded Shrek2, Passion of the Christ and Mystic river

cheers

okay..after alredy experiencing hostel life for 4 years..here's what i have learned...

Its absolutely imperative to minimize stuff which u plan to carry from home....
thats bcoz u will invariably add a lot of stuff once u get there...n before u know u will have a lot of useless stuff..(old clothes..too many keepsakes...novels ..which u anyways wont find time to read ....magazines...photographs....n stuff). so dont load urself unnecessarily. believe me u wil save urself from a lot of heartache later if u travel light.

but there r somethings u just cant forget....esp ppl from metro who r moving to cities which r not so happening as far as shopping is concerned..
formal wear..(we guys are so much into casual stuff..n when thers a formal do we keep scurrying here n there for some jugad)
n comfy footwear,and ur brand of toiletries...thats if u r too particular.

so roughly i think the list is..

-BARE essentials..(clothes(including formals n woollens)..,footwear,toiletries et al),
-academic documnets & ID stuff,
-computer and its accessories(IF APPLICABLE)
-misc stuff( like camera, ext. cord,nailcutter, press,mattress, goodknight...the last one is absol imp!!)
-and most to most a couple of keepsakes..like some photograph of ur family ..loved ones in case u get homesick.

i think with these will more than suffice....
and of course ...an alert mind....and the right attitude will be the icing on the cake!!!

oops .. was just looking at this thread for the first time today ..and i thought the posts were all from this year junta

Hmmm,

anybody from Kharagpur?

Thought the climate was just fine when I attended the interview, but don't know how hotter or colder it gets annually....

Kharagpur is damn hot n humid in summers .. march-june .. so if u r gonna be there at that point of time ..better be prepared to stay in room all the time or some lab at VGSOM ..
as for winters, a full sweater/jacket shud be more than enuf ... though u will find all sorts of ppl in monkey caps et al as well ..

Hehe. Query was posted last year. And the user is now happy @ DMS IIT Delhi

Hi folks..
I am joining MDI Gurgaon & have prepared the following list of things that i'll carry alond (with the help of seniors at MDI)

1). PC/ Laptop (yet to be decided)
2). Lots of formal shirts, trousers & ties
3). Jeans & Tshirts
4). Lots of undergarments (will save me from washing them daily )
5). Matress, pillow & linens
6). Bucket (since i have it already .. and i live alone in delhi)
7). Alarm Clock (or may be mobile will serve as one)
. 2 pair of formal shoes & 1 informal!
9). Blazers

i guess thats it what i remember as of now...
will edit the message if i remember more things

Prateek

from what i have expreienced in my hostel life (engg.) , these r close to perfect bare necessities one needs to carry. Good planning Mandevian.
...and yes, another point to take from Mandevian's post is that one must consult his to-be seniors bout what to take and what not to. Eg, u may be reqd. to carry a mattress to MDI, but will be provided with one at IIMC!

all other things are add-ons, atleast thats what i think.

bow.

-> good night liquidator with mats
-> a refrigerator (if u ahve one ) with a voltage stabiliser

did i forget anything?

Wow thats gr8 yaar the only thing I can say it is Changez khan's Changezee andaaz

3. digcam.
4. cell
5. my segal n coelho collection.

Now that i know where im headed, time to think what i need to pack.
1. CDs...a lot of em,with all pics and my lil music collection.
2. Few clothes from my existing wardrobe, i wud buy the rest from b'lore and yes undergarments very important.
3. My already existing pair of shoes.
4. Important Documents
5.My Shaving blade/tootbrush/towels
6. My mattress (do we get one at the insti? )

I spose i can buy everything else at Bangalore itself. Computer,clothes,stationery,a suit(incase thats necessary right away),shoes, blah blah are all available anywhere and so i think i'll save myself the load of carrying the luggage.
Cheers ;)

Garuda

[Rest everything wounds ok but I still don't understand the concept behind Good Nigh Liquidator with mats.

-> Are you talking about the times when there would be no power to use Good Night Liquidator and would you would burn mats with the matches?
:idea:

well..u can just ignite em, then blow em n let it burn slowly throughout the night.

-> Double Protection using Good Night Liquidator and another Good Night which uses mats instead of liquid soln.?
-> or mats as in mats which one spreds on the floor..

What else.. can't think of any other stupid interpretations of that... ;)

Cheers and ATB with you Liquidator and mats :D
:idea:

Some things that i can think of

-> Toothbrush, toothpaste, combs, soap, shaving kit (for guys ), hair gel, powder, perfumes, nailcutter, towels
-> some cold/cough medicines, dettol, a cough syrup
-> undergarments (at least 6 sets), t shirts, shirts (full n half sleeves), one jacket, jeans, trousers, bermudas, swimming trunks (all this will take at least 1.5 suitcases)
-> essential docs like work ex certis, marksheets, other certis ... 2 files
-> bedsheets, hold-all, rugs, blankets, pillows, pillow covers
-> stationery (buy there)
-> old books (which will be useful), others, pack em n send em home if u r already staying away from home
-> cds, mp3 player
-> utensils (like spoons, glases, electric water heater, plates, jugs, knives)
-> shoes (rubber/leather), socks (6 pairs), slippers, sandals
-> photographs (of pets, family, gfs, friends)
-> computer (monitor/cpu/ups/keyboard/mousepad/mouse/speakers)
-> mobile
-> an extension cord with a multiple plug input
-> good night liquidator with mats
-> a refrigerator (if u ahve one ) with a voltage stabiliser
