"You will never have more energy or enthusiasm, hair, or brain cells than you had in college life." --- modified quote of Tom & Ray Magliozzi. I was enrolled in IIITD's B.Tech program. The institute offered a plethora of courses for students to choose from. The most notable fields were computer science, maths, psychology, sociology, economics, electronics and biology. Selection of courses was the toughest time of the semester as every course was intriguing in one way or another. We could even take independent studies, or projects in place of courses. I took this opportunity to take a B.Tech project that spanned 3 semesters. I found all the professors who taught me, extremely knowledgeable of their subjects and proficient in delivering course content. I will remain indebted to some of them for their valuable feedback and guidance throughout my time in the college. I am elated that I made cherishing memories with my friends, be it submitting group projects, uniting for a deadline extension, collaborating in club activities, chatting in the canteen, playing sports or swaying ourselves to the music of Odyssey's concert. In my last two years of college, I was a TA in a few courses and volunteered in mentorship programs. This let me spend one-on-one time with juniors and assist them in their learning. If I were asked what is that one thing that I would want to change in my college life, I would wish that I had more time to try everything. Thank you everyone in IIITD for making my experience commendable!
My Ph.D. journey was full of unexpected events. It had many ups and downs. Apart from research and technical skills, it has taught me valuable lessons that would help me in life. It has taught me how to handle unexpected situations and multiple tasks while maintaining a balance between professional and personal life. The journey would not have been possible without the support of many people. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all those who made this Ph.D. thesis possible.

4 years at IIIT-Delhi!!! On one hand, it feels like an extensive stretch of time, while on the other, it seems to have flown by in the blink of an eye. From the first to the last day of college, I've had many experiences that have changed me in various ways and moulded me into my current version. The first semester felt nerve-wracking as I stepped into a new world. I had challenges in getting to know new people and making friends. Everything seemed to be going well until the arrival of Covid-19, which confined me to my home, leaving me with just a few cherished friends. They were my lifelines during those tough times, and we supported each other. This was the most precious gift IIITD gave me. In my final 2 years , when I returned to the hostel, the most enjoyable phase of my life began. I embarked on various trips with my friends, creating unforgettable memories. Additionally, I had the opportunity to interact with several faculty members who provided valuable guidance, steering me in the right direction. IIIT-Delhi is a lively place. Every day, I see so many people doing various activities and doing them well. It keeps me motivated to work hard too. I want to express my thanks to the institute and everyone who makes it what it is. They've played a big part in my achievements. Thank you IIITD for 4 unforgettable years of transformation and enlightenment.

What truly set the college apart was its unique blend of freedom and top-notch facilities. Nights at the hostel had a flavor of their own, with Maggi and parathas becoming staples for midnight cravings and bonding sessions. These moments of camaraderie, shared over late-night snacks, are some of the fondest memories I hold dear. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at IIITD for shaping it into what it is and for guiding me throughout my journey. I am proud to call it my alma mater.
My four years at IIIT-Delhi have been an exhilarating journey, marked by continuous learning, personal growth, and unforgettable moments.

While the majority of my learning came from coursework and research projects, it would have been incomplete without the incredible people I met here. Interacting with peers who came from different walks of life and understanding their unique perspectives shattered the tunnel vision I had held since childhood. It transformed me into a better individual, more open-minded and empathetic. Undoubtedly, the degree presented its fair share of challenges, but overcoming them has instilled in me a profound sense of confidence. Now, I feel more prepared than ever to embrace the challenges that await me in the rest of my life.
I came to IIIT-Delhi as a girl full of dreams, driven by a passion to excel in everything I did. My goal was to prove myself to me and find my rightful place in this world.

Those countless nights of hard work, hours of group discussions, numerous assignments, and enriching collaborations were all instrumental in preparing me for the journey ahead and shaping me into the person I am today. Over these four years, I had the privilege of being part of remarkable initiatives like Enactus and Odyssey, which allowed me to connect with some of the most amazing individuals. I have grown tremendously, both as an individual and as a professional. I am deeply thankful to everyone who has been part of my journey here. IIIT-Delhi has not only honored me with a silver medal but also paved the way for a golden future.
Expressing my experience at IIITD in words doesn't quite capture the amazing time I've had here. College has been a transformative journey for me.

My story at IIITD, full of ups and full of downs. Here I met some great people, and I met some clowns. Working day and night, trying to get everything just right. Hundreds of deadlines, avoiding plagiarism like landmines. Covid came but only for a bit, online semesters from campus were surely a hit. Eventually I'd say the grind paid off well. I may have caused some trouble here and there, but at least I have a story to tell!
The journey has been full of ups and downs but will always be a memorable one. I was glad for all the beautiful college days I had, For here l learnt a lot & what not! I will definitely , Miss these lovely days to the count infinitely. College life ends here, but life begins here, With all the life lessons I learnt here I will walk forward in life and cheers! With passion saying life is a torque; Here what you give is what you got, When you are sure, go for the bet; Just like the saying, 'life is a big circle People win and lose in this huge circle Being made of almost the same particle. Recalling the old days in this article.
At IIITD, I embarked on a wild journey that involved seeing more sunrises than ever. But hey, it wasn't all because of assignments but a lot of them because of the incredible friends that I found.
