When you find someone's bed, couple of laptops, sandals and books that don't belong to you in YOUR office...
When you play soccer in near freezing conditions and beat your seniors in a friendly (5-4)...
When you paint the tricolor on the CMU Fence during your first week at school...
When most people at a free dinner are Indians who barely managed to put on a jacket before coming...
When Google employees start embracing Microsoft...
When you play cricket on the night before the Embedded Systems finals just so that you feel somewhat confident in your first open book exam...
When you watch the class lecture online on the evening before the exam as opposed to getting out of bed early in the morning - thrice a week, 14 weeks in a row...
When you dodge the sniper bullets at 2 AM in the morning (What really happened: A severe rainstorm broke the window behind me and a whole piece of glass came crashing down a second after I managed to escape from my seat!!)...
When you become an expert in sleeping on the chair...
Or next to the garbage can, for days together...
When the morning newspaper reads: "Brad Moore, a senior finishing his degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, takes a rest from his final projects on the lawn at Carnegie Mellon University yesterday."...
When you see comic strips which remind you of your plight (this is Photoshoped (not by me!) - the original cartoon strip read IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) instead of CMU - but it's funny as hell nonetheless)...
When you don't know what waits for you after this life...(Feel free to point to more such resources - I shall be happy to add them here)
