Binary Thoughts...


This extraordinary journey into the world of bits and bytes made us bikers of the woods from pedestrians of unknown corridors in a span of four years. We may not have been the torch bearers of this glamorous branch but we definitely have left behind a legacy of our own in all these years. From being truly insincere to fiercely determined – we have always met the aspirations we set for. The platform hasn’t always been captivating but it was enough to invoke dormant spirits fire and make a niche for them. We came here dreaming chapels of candy but today we are leaving this citadel of treasured memories to build castles of reality. No matter where we are today or where we will be tomorrow, CET will always be that great culture which has given us our name and COMPUTER SCIENCE the learning that identified us.

The tradition at CET was different when we enrolled as freshers in the year 2004. We started off as a diverse archive of unfamiliar faces then. Computer science was a mere subject of 3 grades and it had no significance other than being taxonomy. The possessiveness n pride in being a Compscite at CET featured in 3rd year when the class of 2008 got classified into the respective departments. We got introduced to our core disciplines, our faculties, our Head of the Department and most importantly our department. The feeling was naïve then but gradually it developed into a sense of being an imperial part of this family. This distributed architecture of creative processors had their optimum performance in the last two years executing classes, bunking, fun, projects, culfests, picnics, seminars and everything and anything under the sun.

The moments spent have been so amazing that we never noticed when we reached the apogee of this odyssey. It still feels being dressed in yellow and whites on that momentous Welcome day on the 6th of October, 2004 apprehending the friendliness of the faces and the department we had embraced. The last digit has changed and so has the day but what remains constant is the name and the identity we have been awarded. And along with it we carry the bit maps of the times we have been together under this department which is genuinely “class apart”.
