KC Vistas 12 th July 2010 NLH is so comfortable. No no no, IC looks incredibly cool! Oh have you seen the cool building they are making? I think it’s called AB5, it looks huuuuge! But as I wandered into the
campus I noticed manipal was much more alive than these buildings. This place had a life about it, or the cliched term for it, the 'campus life'. I as a freshman then wanted to explore experience, absorb this strange yet attractive term 'campus life'.
And as I penetrated through this campus, on the road towards KC, the road testified the clamor it had heard for decades, which was rather silent at this incongruous morning hour. The road paintings caught my attention. This road has been testifying the joys and the
solitudes of many over these decades. MIT is a very old place established in 1957 they say, and it all felt as if the road was introducing me to all those people, incidents that
happened, like a Hogwarts corridor where these road paintings like the speaking paintings there, reflecting the years of the past lives.
Then this wall caught my eye, which was painted AAINA PRESENTS CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. Oh now this brisk morning started looking brighter, and I looked around, this was the famous Kamath Circle all those people were talking about. This was and is the
heart of MIT. If there is any place where everybody is watching you, it is Kamath circle. I needed breakfast now, a really tasty breakfast! I looked at this old junction, which had
a huge tree behind it (although I didn't notice the tree until I was sitting alone one day near
basket ball court) Anyway I entered in this old 'KC Cafeteria' ordered Bombay toast and half fried eggs and started gazing the spectacular food court building.
Manipal is a strange place, a pseudo international ghetto between a picturesque natural environment. As soon as you go down this plateau you experience rustic authentic
Karnataka. But as soon as you climb this plateau, you are suddenly in a world of wi-fi clad smart phone carrying chaud wala crowd.
Well, an MITian’s life begins and culminates at kc. 43
