Its been a long time since I
have written to you. My
apologies. Actually I didn't
have much going on with my
life to write to you about.
I do have something now..and
hence this mail. I realize
that you must be busy with
the preparation of this
years' camp and also that by
now you must be habitual of
reading a lot of such
thanksgiving mails. I would
thus keep this mail short
and simple.
The good news is, I have now
completed my undergraduate
at IITK and have been
accepted for Masters'
program at University of
Illinois,US. Not only this,
I have also been offered
Masters' admission at
Stanford Univ., and Univ of
Texas Austin. I have finally
chosen Illinois because of
the professional nature of
its course curriculum.
Sir, I just wanted to
express my heartfelt
gratitude towards you and
the summer-camp for helping
me achieve whatever little
success that I have. I don't
claim that summer-camp was a
life changing experience for
me but at the same time I
can't help but feel, in
retrospect, that If I just
take that one summer-month
out of my life, I would
certainly be telling a
different story of my life
right now...one that may not
be as good to hear. :)
The camp taught me a lot of
things and academics was
just a small part of it.
Most important among these
things for me was
'humility'. To see the
amazing level of knowledge
and enthusiasm among my
fellow students from some
not-so-hyped colleges was a
unique experience for me.
Never before had I been
exposed to such high levels
of talent and hardwork as I
saw in those 60 students.
This experience certainly
helped me by bursting that
bubble of
misplaced-confidence which
most of us IITians carry
around.
Besides this, there is
of-course that never-ending
list of 'benefits derived
from the Summer-camp', which
I would not repeat as I am
sure you must have read most
of them in other mails. But
I would definitely like to
add that just because they
are common, doesn't mean
they are less important in
any way.
I would like to wish the
best of luck once again to
you and your team. I believe
Summer-camp will continue
achieving new heights of
glory and keep on enriching
and influencing students'
lives as it has so
successfully been doing in
the past.. |

I am Anup Bhutada, (2008
summer camper from Pusad,
Maharashtra). Sorry sir, I
am making contact with u
after 1 year. Sir, I am
really missing the camp.
Today right one year has
completed. As u know I am
from rural area. I never
thought that i will visit
IITK in my life. Because of
summer camp, there are some
remarkable changes in my
personality, communication,
& behaviour took place and
as a result of this I am
awarded by "BEST STUDENT OF
YEAR". Also I scored 84.15 %
in my final year and topped
from all the five
departments in the college.
I have broken all the
records of percentage in the
university (6 colleges).
Sir, also I got the
admission in NICMAR Hydrabad
for my PG in Advance
construction management. I
completed my engg.
successfully. All the credit
goes to summer camp. My
parents are thanking to
summer camp experts who took
the effort for one month.
Thank u very much sir. My
wishes are with the 2009
campers and I will suggest
to take the advantage of
this camp in making ur
bright future. |

It was a pleasant surprise
to read your mail regarding
the summer camp. I was a
participant of summer camp
2008, from NIT Calicut,
Kerala. As any other camper
might say, it was a life
changing experience as a
student in
Civil Engineering by choice.
An entirely different life
for one month was the most
exciting thing about the
camp. For me, a journey to
North India for the first
time in life, two days in
train with unknown
'friends'! In all respects I
enjoyed end felt each moment
of the camp. Starting from
the morning exercise to the
culturals in the night. It
brought me a bunch of very
good friends and a lot of
everlasting memorable
moments. The first time i
realised, that I can play
football..that it doesn't
pain even if you hav a small
fracture..that its really
fun to work in and for a
group...that the field of
Civil Engineering is much
broader than what is taught
in classrooms and text
books...that some relations
once formed will last for
ever...that there are
teachers we never want to
miss...and numerous other
things...! I'm not able to
stack everything in an order
in my brain because the
memories are countless.. I
thank the Great God and CE
Department of IIT Kanpur for
giving me an opportunity to
be a part of a wonderfull
camp. And I wish the camp
continues to be an
everlasting source of
inspiration for the coming
generations. |
