My experiments with 'I'

Solitude is one of the greatest challenges one can face in life. However, introvert a person maybe social contact is essential. My last days in IIT have been the most challenging not because of how much work I have or the difficulty of the same, but because there was a huge transformation in my social setup.

I had to get used to going through a day with very little 'socializing'. Sometimes we underestimate what we have and only realize the importance of things when we are separated from it for a long time. Friends & family are important social nets to protect us from collapsing and the confidence they place in you is essential for getting by each day.
