Updates

This post exclusively covers updates to my previous blog(s).. Firstly, the laptop rental concept has been implemented by Agnels...its actually quite different..they have setup two labs which are wireless..one of the labs is equipped with bluetooth, wifi, and all the latest electronic concepts..pics are courtesy agnels... now this is quite a cool concept as i have never seen such a lab in any other indian engg insti...oh ya, this mainly due to the hiring of a stud called Dr.H.K. Kaura as the HOD of comp science dept at vashi..he was the previous head of BARC's computer division and also the inventor of anupam series of supercomputers..a link to one of his interviews:
