Iit Kharagpur

We are based out of Patel Hall, specifically in room B 320, right on the IIT Kharagpur campus. Living and working in a hostel environment like this means there is never a truly quiet moment. You can always hear someone talking in the corridor or the sound of a cricket match being played somewhere nearby. The room itself is small and packed with books, clothes, and a couple of old wooden chairs that creak every time you sit down. West Bengal gets incredibly humid, so we usually have the windows wide open to catch any breeze, even if it means a few bugs fly in. Our daily routine is mostly dictated by the mess timings and the walk to the departments. We have been here for a while now, and the pin code 721302 is basically burned into our brains from writing it on so many forms. It is a simple life where the most exciting part of the day might be getting a package at the gate or finding a shorter queue for tea. We do not have any corporate polish here. It is just a student-style setup where we do our work among piles of notes and half-washed laundry. Patel Hall has a lot of history, and you can feel it in the damp walls and the old staircases. We are just a small part of this big, busy campus.
