SERC main school: the brighter aspects!

I have been complaining about the SERC main school arrangements at PU, Chandigarh in my previous posts. Well, that's not the only thing I have to say about this school. This school as it seems has a brighter side also. Let's start with the academics part. Perturbative QCD is something I am learning for the first time, revising Feynman diagram calculations in the tutorials, learning BSM physics phenomenology from in the GUT course, discussing with profs as well as fellow participants on various issues. Its really fun, although a bit hectic sometimes. Regarding non-academic aspects, we had an awesome trip to Amritsar and Wagha border on 7th April. It's a five hour drive from Chandigarh. We were nine together in the trip, started very early at around 5 am and came back at midnight. We went to the Golden temple, Durgiana mandir, Jaliwanwalabagh and Wagha Indo-Pak border. The golden temple is really great, a very clean and well maintained place, definitely worth visiting. We have two more holidays, hopefully will make full use of them :-)
