I was directed to this article by one of my friends..

It explains the user reaction from psychology perspective. Never the less, I feel very comfortable with Linux, specially for programming, with its rich set of development tools.

I was really excited to see NITK with its vast campus, well maintained buildings and bbbeeeaaauuutiful beach infront of the college. It was a great experience away from the crowded city life. My dream of visiting the sea came true after a long time.
I participated in Rectifier and Marathon. The events were well organized and it was highly competitive. Rectifier was a debugging event. Marathon tested us in all the aspects of Computer Science including Programming, Algorithms, Data Structures. It also included IT Quiz. Marathon contained five rounds and i thoroughly enjoyed each round. I qualified to the finals in both the events but the failure in the finals taught me good lessons 
It often happens that you learn more from temporary “FAILURES” than “SUCCESS”.
The best time perhaps was the time spent on beach with my friends. The sound of the waves was soothing. It was Valentine’s day. There were a few young couples on the beach It was nice to watch them happy together. One of my friends said “I personally believe there shudnt be a valentine’s day …bcoz u need to love ur loved ones everyday. Everyday is a valentine’s day. Every occassion when u r with that person is special”. Great feeling indeed!!
The Surathkal beach was relatively less crowded, very calm and relaxing. The students of NITK are lucky to study in such a great environment.
