The Indian Institute of Science

IISc Bangalore is by far teh greatest institute I have ever seen. Well I have seen both IISc and IIMA. But, theres something in IISc. I rever, love and believe that there is no other such institute in India. 1500 people and 90%+ are not studying becoz they have to do it for a job. They are there coz they love the subject so much. Nd that is not something u find everywhere.
IISc is going to celebrate its centenary. A century where the C.V. Ramans, Vikram Sarabhais and Satish Dhawans have led the insti from the front. C.V. Raman once he became the chair of the insti did not want to give it up come what may.....
Next time you are in Bangalore, take an hour off. Ask for Tata Institute and when you reach there take a bow...Also pay my respects. It's been time!
