Like Samuel Pickwick and the three other "Pickwickians" in the book who research into the quaint and curious phenomena of life, we try to document the special times of our final year students during their stay at IITM.

I wrote that article with Sapeksha Vemulapati and Surbhi Maheshwari as we were the three editors who made the book from scratch and since I have this opportunity right now I would like to thank these two people. Working with them was one of my best memories in Insti. IITM is full of passionate people and that includes those passionate for writing. Our Pickwick Club is made of such people who gathered together to give birth to this book. It has been an honor working with such talented people and there is so much that we learned from each other. Every word in this book is a result of a collective effort from all of us and I am thankful to the whole team for supporting each other throughout the making of this book. I would also like to thank IITMAA for their support in making this book. The real stars of The Second Last Bencher are obviously the students of the Graduating batch. We, The Pickwick Club, are extremely thankful to the people who shared their experiences with us and let us put them in this book. We are also thankful to the faculty members who took out some time from their busy schedules to write something for us. Is The Second Last Bencher just a book? No. It is a tribute to the friendships that were made in IITM. It is the frozen piece of the memories of the people who stayed here. It is a carving of the effort by The Pickwick Club. Most importantly, it is an exclamation mark on the celebration of life in IITM. Kanwaljeet ‘Bardar’ Singh ... v ... vi From the Editor’s Desk The serene campus that we are writing this in and which you would be walking into, through the stories collected here, is a place that is home for many of us in our formative years. It is a reserved forest where there are monkeys, deer and us. There are other life forms too who snake away their lives without much noise. As soon as we got into this it felt that it's a really far off place away from home even with all the technology around. We are not always on phone or online. But slowly and slowly we formed. Cultivating friendships, nurturing ideas, learning new things and unlearning some old things along the way. Anything that doesn't destroy us shapes us up. Like a jig-saw puzzle we have been put together here. "What memory will you write down today?" would be a difficult question to answer. One would have to sift through so many things. In fact, it is as bizarre and cliché a question as "What is life? Write a few words about it". Yet, there are some personal epiphanies that are worth sharing. Some moments which left an indelible mark on us. The central pieces of the puzzle. They are worth an immortality. As we grow up things become clearer. But the defining moment of college is a hazy one where we are all in it together. A point where all kinds of questions pop up – "Where are we?", "Where do we go from here?" So many choices and to pick one is to define us. And yet out of all this mist, we find an answer by the end of it. College means academics, but it is also much else. It is a training ground for self dependency. And at the same time, living and working in a community. We run into a variety of people, talents and ideas on our way out. All these are an invisible groove which guides us to the end. It puts a periscope onto us. To ask questions like, "Am I interested in this?" and also giving us time to find out and settle the question. It ... vii forms our tastes in so many things. College is a capsule where time runs slowly and it will for years to come when we ruminate on our stay. In a way, we never graduate from college though we move out of it. Even the thought of it will suspend time for a moment. But something has to be recorded. That art work "I was here" on the last bench has to be expanded. For future. For us. And for our friends who shared this space and time with us. This book is for them and for everybody who wants a memory jog of college life. A leaf out of this tree will have a permanent shadow on all of us. ... viii Glossary IIT Madras is well known for having its own ‘lingo’ which has been nurtured and developed over the last half century.

  • Ugad 1819.Pdf
    An initiative of Branding & Communications team of IIT Kharagpur and the students body Branding & Relations Cell led by Dean, International Relations. For more information contact: [email protected] I congratulate the Branding and Communications Cell of the Institute for this novel initiative. Students enjoy the learning experience best when they are challenged. I have often interacted with students, asking them what they thought was the best or worst in a class that they had just attended. And I have often been stumped by their replying that they thought they had “learnt nothing”. Why? I asked them. They said that they did not find the teaching challenging enough. This should leave no one in doubt that we should take another look at the teaching and learning process. Students themselves can be a part of this relook. I have often advocated for student-teachers, often letting them take my own class. The result has been phenomenal, making students involved learners. Only greater involvement on the part of students can ensure their learning. This does not have to happen inside the class always. Sports, extra-curricular activities provide their own challenges. I encourage students to take up these challenges. As these entries show, many of them have indeed taken them up, and realized their enormous potential and talent. Tap your hidden talents and energies. Take up challenges, get involved and enjoy the learning experience Every student is an achiever in his or her own right. Each of them has tremendous potential inside them, and if they pursue their passion with focus and hard work, they will reach their goal.
