Ah! Mysore DC! The place to be!
I was one of the few lucky ones who never missed my home during my stay in Mysore DC because I was from the same city!
But the experience prepared me well to face a lot of things:
I fell in love with a batch mate, got rejected, saw her going with a good friend.. and I finally moved on.
Made a few great friends who in always in touch and were very supportive even though we never got to see each other's faces again.
It was an extended college life for me. Few of my classmates, who were extremely good friends were around. And we all together built a great network of friends who always helped each other for everything.
We had a ritual.. the guy who topped a test would treat the rest of the gang at the Gazebo. It would be a samosa or a shared cold coffee, but it was always fun.
Made full use of the GEC-2 library! Got to read a lot of books, both technical and non-technical.
Incidentally, got posted to Mysore itself, so had to send off all friends who moved to different locations! And that was the hardest part!
The tough training there made me face challenges, and that's the reason I'm in IISc today! (Never used anything they taught in training during my 15-month stint as a Test Engineer!)

But the experience prepared me well to face a lot of things:
- To be out of home
- To understand what a night-out meant (I never did night-outs during engineering)
- To realize the fact that people come from a variety of backgrounds, and have different aspirations in life
