HOW 2 GET INTO IEDA-TUM & LIFE @

First of all IEDA-TUM is Institute of Electronic Design Automation @ Tecchnical University of Munich......
We came here on 12th May. But had joined officially on 15th May(as 13,14 were weekends). We thought tht it wud be easy to join. Just go N they will show the room where we got to work. But it really was not as easy as we expected.
First of all we had to get ourselves registered at some official place. Its the place which maintains the records of all people who come to Germany. Gettin to tht place was also a bit confusin as it was the first time we happened to go there. We were given a map of U-Bahns and Buses in Munich city and were shown the place where to go. Thts wht our guides did at the max. SO, took the map N reached the office. Its completely online process over there.. Guess it is also the place where the Federal police who come to check our VISAs (durin our Tours) call fr verification....[Not sure, just a phatte.. Rajat ke saath rah rahke .....] So, got tht work done.

Later we had to open a bank account. It is for the stipend we get here. They don't diretly give it to our hands(Donno whyyyy....).. So, we had to go to the bank. Came to know where the bank is N got an account opened there. U know, here thebanks have some gud offers, like, if we show tht some1 recommended us to open a bank account in tht bank, the bank ppl give some gifts to tht recommender. As we were two, our recommender got a DVD PLAYERRRR.... hahaha..(He didn't come along wid usss, was havin some urgent work tht day)

N finally, we have completed all the external official works. Now comin to the lab N our guides...
We were given a room which has two comps.. N U know, my guide strted teachin me all the stuff the first day I met him. Actually I was expectin like he mite say "ok, U ppl have done all the formalities, will strt work tomorrow..".. But one thin, My Guide is a damn cool one N also the kooolest of all the PhD candidates here. Always keeps mockin N jokin.. Also he is very intelligent. Speaks fundoo English N also is handsome(Already has a gal frnd...fr the gals who read this hehehehe). He also made a software for bettin in which we also involved. Its regardin FIFA 2006. Both of us are anyways far behind in the race..
Comin to Rajat's guide.. He is a bit calm person. He is not tht fluent in speakin English N hence feels a bit problem to communicate. He always comes b4 us in the mornin..(We reach arnd 9:15-9:30 Am).
We also play Table soccer(Not daily but frequently...)... Presently both of us are masterin in tht..
So, finally Njoyin the work hereeee......................


Will be back in a few days..
