But matchless Franklin! What a few
Can hope to rival such as you.
Who seized from kings their sceptred pride
And turned the lightning's darts aside.

We are proud of Electrical Engineering
Everything runs on the power we bring
From power systems to microprocessors
We are enlightened with esteemed professors
Ohm's law gave birth to most of the theories
Electrical components have their own stories
The department of current, voltage and power
We are for EE and EE is our!!!

FROM THE HOD’S DESK
It gives me immense pleasure to announce the publication of a new
edition of POWER, the Departmental Magazine of the Department of
Electrical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. It is indeed fascinating to
witness the level of literary talent in the Department. The meticulous
effort put in by the Editorial Team towards the magazine is worthy of
praise as well. I extend my best wishes to everyone involved in the
process of shaping the present edition and hope that they continue to
pursue their creative efforts with as much enthusiasm and fervour as they do now.

WORD FROM THE ADVISORS, EE SOCIETY
As another year for the EE Society draws to a close, it’s time to
look back at the past year, and ponder upon the achievements and
shortcomings. Last year had been particularly eventful, starting off
with the Freshers’ Welcome Programme that was enjoyed by
students and faculty members alike. An interactive session between
sophomores and seniors followed, as did an Alumni Visit and fun
session called ‘Discharge’. Two industrial visits – one to CESC, Kolkata and another to the
Maithon power plant, Jharkhand, were the highlights of the past year, with students enjoying
the outings to the hilt. The T-Shirt Design Competition saw stiff
competition, with numerous entries vying for the chosen spot. We
take this opportunity to thank all the members of the Society for
their whole-hearted efforts throughout the year, which made events
of such dimensions possible. This year also saw keen participation
from among the Research Scholars and MS Students, which is a first in the history of the
Society. We earnestly hope that the next batch of Office Bearers keep the zeal alive, and
congratulate the present Office Bearers for a job well done. Cheers!

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, EE SOCIETY
6
EE society has completed one more eventful year and now it’s time to
share my experience as Head of the Team. We started this year with
many new thinking, some different plans to make this year remarkable.
I can recall our first meeting at our CCL regarding Fresher’s Welcome.
In that meeting and several others in a very short period, we managed
to note down different ideas and activities to be carried out. However,
some of them were successfully implemented and some could not. This year we have
included more PG (RS, MS and MTech) student in our EE society activities.
The most attractive event of our EE Society has been the Industrial Visit. This year we have
visited two different power generating plant. One is 65 MW thermal power plant of CESC at
Budge Budge, WB. Another is 630 MW thermal power plant of Tata Power at Maithon,
Jharkhand. I would like to thank Prof. A. K. Sinha for arranging such a wonderful
educational visit.
This year we have started celebrating Teachers’ Day to pay our gratitude to teachers for their
constant effort in enlightening and shaping our career. I would like to thank Debanjan for his
special initiative in this regard and all EE Society members for the successful execution of
other activities.

WORD FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY AND TREASURER, EE SOCIETY
Hello, as we look back at our tenure as office-bearers of Electrical
Engineering Society, it as an experience like none other. We
would like to thank our society patrons, professor Karabi Biswas
and professor B. Mohan for providing us with this opportunity.
Our goal throughout the year was to introduce new events and to
make the existing ones even better.
Well, our journey started with the Fresher’s welcome and the
society members were very motivated to see the enthusiasm shown by the 1st year students.
For the 1st time, this year we took the initiative of organizing Teacher’s Day celebration in
7
the Department, and well it was a good way to increase the interaction among the teachers
and students. Well alike last year, the Society organized the event Discharge for the 1st year
students, mainly with the motive that the interaction among the batch would increase.
Industrial Trip organization has become an integral part of Society’s event calendar now. We
had 2 separate buses, visiting CESC Kolkata, and Maithan, Jharkhand each. The visiting
students were very outspoken regarding the excellent arrangements made in the Trip. I
sincerely thank Professor A.K.Sinha for taking the pain of communicating with both power
plants regarding our visits.
We tried our best to justify the Department T-shirt with best clothing as well as design, and I
am glad the response has been very satisfactory. We also had 2 funda sessions, one for the
3rd year students just before the beginning of intern season, and other one for the 2nd year
students. I hope that everyone who attended gained something
from them. This year we also planned on organizing some
intra-Department events, for example we organized 2 Football
matches. Thanks once again to the seniors for their treats after
the matches .One very visible aspect of these events was to
see the bonding present among the batches. That is something
which keeps us motivated amidst the academic pressure
around us.
Last but not the least, the Farewell this year saw participation from all batches, and was a
very refreshing event amidst the examination time. This year we tried something new with
the mementos and there was a good reaction regarding it. Well there were things that we
planned and executed, and things which due to lack of time or planning could not be
executed. One such regret is the Department Fest. Well a lot of reasons were there for this
short-coming and I am sure the next group of office-bearers will learn from these short
comings and try to organize the fest next year. Signing off,
Rituraj Gautam, General Secretary
Prashasti Agrawal, Treasurer
EE Society, 2012-13
EDITOR’S NOTE
8
The edition of Power for the session 2012-2013 is out. The
Editorial team has tried to bring together the best of literary
talents from the Department of Electrical Engineering in this
volume. The happenings in the Department in the past year have
also been showcased.
Of course, the process of bringing out such a volume is never
without its share of troubles. For one thing, writers are known to be a reticent lot, and those in
the Department needed a lot of cajoling to share their creations. The members in the Editorial
team got involved in academic commitments at the most inopportune moments, scheduled
meetings happened late, deadlines got delayed – at the end of the day, however, the team
members only laughed it away and became better friends than ever.
The Editorial Team extends a bunch of hearty thanks to Professor Jayanta Pal, Former Head,
Department Of Electrical Engineering, for his encouragement and support, and Professor
Siddhartha Sen, Head, Department of Electrical Engineering, for his inspiration and wholehearted co-operation in the project. Professor B.M.Mohan and Professor KarabiBiswas, who
have always been around to ensure that things got rightly done at the right moment, have
been perfectly indispensable, and the Team is infinitely grateful to them. A very warm thank
you also to Rituraj Gautum and Prashasti Agrawal , who have been indefatigable in running
errands, Gursewak Singh Sidhu, who has put up with incessant pestering, and Procheta, who
has worked round the clock to see that only the best made it to the magazine.
To say that the present volume is without its share of inadequacies would be a tall claim. The
Editorial Team would be more than pleased to receive comments on the present volume and
suggestion for improvement. It is, after all, the readers who make the book what it is.
Warm regards,
Anwesha Sengupta,
Editor, POWER 2012-13

REMINISCENCES OF A TEACHER
As I sit and look down the memory lane, I have distinct recollections of facts and
remembrances since May 1987, when I joined the Electrical Engineering Department (EED)
as the 36th member of the faculty. A lot of water (or the lack of it) has flown down the Kasai
river and the last 26 years has witnessed many changes in my life, the EED, the surrounding
campus and IIT Kharagpur, in general.
The number of staff, faculty and students has
multiplied many folds. In 1987, there were around six
cars in the campus owned by the faculty and there was
an IIT run bus service to the Golebazar and Railway
Station on certain days of the week. A rickshaw trip to
the Railway Station or a local train ticket to Howrah,
each would cost a mere Rs.8/-. But now, parking space
for cars in the academic complex calls for solution of a
real-time constrained optimization problem, particularly if you have a 9:30am class and
arrive after 9:00am!! The campus community has shown immense patience and has only now
been rewarded by a fly-over connecting the IIT campus to the Railway Station and the
Kolaghat Bridge for driving to Kolkata (Oh Calcutta!) by using the newly constructed
express way. The campus now has wide well-lit roads; students have separate cycle-lanes and
jogging paths, a revamped Gymkhana, Leisure Park nearby, large Hostels, large class rooms
with the latest audio-visual facilities, many branded eating joints and the TFS now boasts of
possessing the latest digital delivery systems. Large residential complexes are in place and a
state of the art AIIMS type Hospital is on the anvil.
I have had the golden opportunity to interact and work with and for stalwarts like
Professors: D. V. S. Murthy, K. Rajgopalan, T. N. Saha, Y. P. Singh, A. K. Chattopadhyay,
K. Venkatratnam, M. K. Ghosh, P. B. Dutta Gupta, G. P. Rao, K. B. Datta, T. K. Basu, S.
Sinha, D. C. Saha, amongst others. All the past and present faculty members have immensely
contributed to and enriched the teaching ethos, course evolvement, laboratories, research and
development, consultancy and what EED is today. The setting up of the SAI Lab. with funds
arranged by Prof. G. P. Rao does merit special mention. I have acquired a lot of academic
skill and administrative acumen from my senior colleagues.
14
EED was predominantly famous as a very strong teaching department. Over the years,
more emphasis on academic and sponsored research and industrial consultancy work has
been given and now the EED boasts of dominance in these areas also. The UG and PG
courses are regularly upgraded and have matured a lot from what we had during the 1990s.
New areas of teaching and research like VLSI, DSP, Image and Speech Processing,
Mechatronics, Embedded Systems, Soft Computing, Robust Control, Fractional Order
System, Intelligent Control, FACTS, Smart Grid, Power Electronics and Drives,
Bioengineering, Systems on Chip, FPGA etc. have emerged. We have left behind the HP
1000 and DOS based desktops, the KAI writer, TUTSIM and CC packages; to be replaced by
smart PCs and Laptops and on the software front by MATLAB, Mathematica, Labview,
PSpice, etc. We now have digital devices that talk to each other without any visible electrical
connection. The digital era has arrived and come to stay. The whole campus is now a WiFi
enabled networked knowledge base. One can now connect to any computer world-wide,
sitting in the staircase of the main building or the Vikramshila foyer. Now any place is a
reading place, and any time is reading / browsing time. Knowledge has become omnipotent
and omnipresent, and the challenge before us is to become omniscient. Courses are available
on the Web. Teachers in the campus teach large classes from courseware developed and
delivered by IT enabled devices. We have class-room teaching reaching out to students
located at Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Raipur and far-off Port Blair.
Throughout my 39 years of teaching career, I have immensely enriched myself by
inputs from my colleagues, students, friends and research scholars. Since 1963, I have had the
unique experience of having been a witness to the gradual evolvement of various subjects in
the area of Electrical Engineering. I have worked with TDC-312 third generation digital
computer made by ECIL (India) that had 12K (oops) memory. It had a paper-tape input and
output arrangement. [Compare with the 1TB devices that abound the market.] Then came the
IBM 1620 with card input and print-out on large computer sheets. This was followed by
PDP-8, PDP-11, IBM 370, CDC 10000 etc. We used to write programs in FORTRAN,
COBOL, or ALGOL. We had to submit our programs (a stack of cards) for batch processing
and had to wait for the next morning to obtain the output (often be greeted by a silly syntax
error). IEEE and other subscribed Journals would take 5 to 7 months to reach the Library.
The scene, as you would appreciate, has undergone phenomenal change for the better. Now,
one can Google any query and can download even a paper that is on the queue to be printed.
15
Downloading a book takes minutes if not seconds. And, of course, lucky KGPians have the
blessed DC++.
Now, the knowledge front has become easily accessible at very low cost. When we
were students, a popular adage was: ‘Fools buy books; wise men read them.’ Perhaps the
time has come to say: ‘The inquisitive downloads; the wise one reads the same’.
In the digital age, the urge to learn must be paramount.
I will bid goodbye by saying: ‘A well learned person is a self learned person.’ A
teacher can only assist in the process.

Professor and Former Head,

REWIND
My experience with batti dept. started with the fresher's night,
I was amazed to see-the students having fun and professors keeping quiet!
Then suddenly- I got to notice their expression
It said- bachhon aj toh bol lo- we'll have our own turn
Life went easy- until the first ET lab,
Where I came to know the biggest doubt - our professor's had.
Very soon they were convinced that we are dumb, naive and crazy,
And then calmly asked- How on earth did you clear JEE
I started wondering where do the profs get all the questions from,
Then I found the database on www.screwstudents.com
Electrical Engineering has certainly got business with the word screw
It has screwed many's life and they'll screw yours too!
Courses and tests and labs and vivas increased more and more
Gradually, we the students, also developed - the quality to ignore
Tic -tac- toe replaced lab reports, in the files and PT sheets
Credits hours for projects started being utilised for treats
But as the time passed by, I started to realise
How the strictness of our professors proved judicious and wise
It has made us responsible and successful in the long run
But the same could have been achieved, with some more freedom and fun
17
Report reviews to campus interviews, now everything seems done
No labs, no vivas- the long awaited time has come
But is it really what I wanted - do I really want to go
The day brings me to a dilemma- what I want, I don’t know
I dont know how did it get so late so soon
Everything seems so fresh in my mind
I dont know if I should laugh or cry
Probably, all that I want is just REWIND !

LIFE AND LOVE
A drop fell,
there's nothing i can do,
nothing?
the only thing she asked.
nothing is all i could think of,
but could not.
motionless i gazed,
by far,far and wide.
she interrogated,
I nodded.
It’s end ,for us or beginning?
my life kept enquiring.
I stared far away,
birds chirping in distant lands,
sun glazing upon leaves,
far away, too far,
close and still far.
I tried ,hopes declined with time,
just let it wither away effortless,
and now stood before ,

Questions arose, died.

it in his device. He never expected his oscillator to work, but switched it on nevertheless. He
was pleasantly surprised to hear a familiar, rhythmic pulsing sound -- a pattern remarkably
similar to that of a normally beating heart. This chance invention came to be known as the

AN ODE TO LOVE
I
The rains are coming. The sky above me is a deep, sombre grey, almost slate-the hue that I
always associate with melancholy. The wind grows stronger by the minute. From the roof, I
look at the trees lining the road. Their leaves sway violently; it is as if they can’t wait to get
drenched, caressed, cleansed.
Waiting. This is something rains always remind me of. First, there is the heat, oppressive,
stifling, smouldering. It is so terrible you almost wish you didn’t exist. Then, towards the
evening, you suddenly feel that whiff of sweet air which is so often the harbinger of rain.
Within another half hour, clouds cover the sky. It gets darker and darker, and when it is the
darkest, the first drop falls – then another, then another, till it is raining in full force. You
stand under the flow; feel the drops beating down on your hair, your face, your arms, and
your body. The drops form such a dense pattern that you feel like it’s a continuous sheet of
cold water.
And even if you cry standing beneath the shower, no one will notice – your tears will be
snugly covered by the water from the heavens. You may pour out your heart beneath the sky;
it will all be sheltered by the downpour. Your secrets are safe under the rains.
As I said, the rains are inextricably linked with waiting. And melancholy.The deep, lingering
sense of emptiness that refuses to go.The all-engulfing loneliness that enveloped me while
you left.
I cried. I pleaded. I begged to be given another chance. I tried to reason, to cajole, even to
seduce. Desperate? Yes, may be that was the word for me then. But nothing worked, you see.
I was left wounded, beaten, broken. Night after night, I would cry myself to sleep, a perfect
lullaby that I invented.
Gradually, I discovered a language in silence; I would lie still at night, unable to close my
eyes, and watch the night-lamp creating intricate patterns on the mosquito net; the constant,
monotonous whirring of the fan; the occasional whelping of a dog in the empty street. I
would turn to the window and follow the waxing and waning of the moon; or turn to the other
side of the room to watch the walls faintly illuminated by the road lights.
I took up the pen once more. I caught up on the writings that I had left unfinished. At the
dead of night, they flowed out like raindrops; as I pined for your touch, I wrote the best
verses of my life. The pain congealed to generate poetry. It was the panacea that helped to
31
ease what it could not cure. You were gone, but my flame was lit anew.
Before I could realise it, I was waiting again.
II
Durga Puja happens in autumn. The almanac says it should happen in the month of Ashwin
or Kartik, just around the time harvests are made. Hence one of the incarnations of the
Goddess is the form of Sakambhari, the goddess of fertility. Mythically, the pujas are all
about triumph of good over evil, truth over falsehood, white over black. Hence evolved the
form of the warrior goddess riding a lion, the vanquished asura at her feet, his heart impaled
by her trident.
Often, the pujas happen just before winter sets in; there might be a slight nip in the air at
dawn or late at night, but during the day the sky is a wonderful, enticing blue, the blue that
you see while sailing in the ocean, the blue that spells extent and expansion. The sun is not as
unbearable as in summer, or as welcome as in winter; somewhere it strikes a golden mean.
The ambience is cosy, almost wrapping you like a silk doth. You suddenly feel assured,
confident, consecrated. It’s almost as if you’re going on a never-ending holiday.
I never knew when it happened to me again. I hardly realised when my vows to remain chaste
for the rest of my lifetime had grown weak. When I came to senses, you had already stepped
into my life.
Yes, I was apprehensive at the beginning. I was afraid to take the plunge. Even as you smiled
upon me like an autumn morning, I could not muster enough courage to take up the hint.
The process of fusion happened slowly. It was so subtle, we never realised the union until we
were deeply into it. I was laughing again; most importantly, I was looking forward to
tomorrow.
As you moved your fingers along my skin, I felt the light, crisp crackle of autumn leaves; as
you put your lips to mine, I took a sip of seawater; your eager breath fanned me like palmleaves from some forgotten island; you were insatiable in your exploration of me; you left no
knoll untouched, no vale untrodden. You craved for me as a stretch of arid land longs for the
first drops of rain. You drank my juices with the passion of a painter on his way to create a
masterpiece. You entered me, not with the force of a fanatic, but with the faith of a devotee.
As I lay, moaning, aroused and happy, I suddenly realised the same old patterns of light and
darkness on the ceiling; the fan was making a familiar, pleasant humming noise. Our figures,
moving in unison, created ephemeral silhouettes on the wall.
I suddenly felt myself trapped in an abyss. There were no words, no rhyme, no metre, no
verse. I struggled hard to create a line. All I could come up with was a jumbled array of
32
letters. Terror crept across me like a crawling insect. I tried to shout, to reach out for the
words.
You wrapped me tight in your arms and kissed me again.
I was still waiting.

WHO AM I?
Electrical Engineers, there’s no way we exist without them. We use units named after them,
we apply theories proposed by them. But how much do we actually know about the people
who started it all? Wait, do we even know them by sight??
1. A French Physicist and Mathematician, he started teaching
himself advanced mathematics at the tender age of 12. In coming
years, his reading encompassed history, travels, poetry,
philosophy, and the natural sciences.
In 1802, he produced a mathematical treatise on mathematical
probability Considérationssur la théoriemathématique de
jeu (“Considerations on the Mathematical Theory of Games”),
followed by , Mémoiresur la théoriemathématique des
phénomènesélectrodynamiquesuniquementdéduite
de
l’experience (Memoir on the Mathematical Theory of
Electrodynamic Phenomena, Uniquely Deduced from Experience) in 1827. He is regarded as
one of the main founders of the science of classical electromagnetism.
2. In 1873, while on a cable-laying ship bound for Lisbon, he had an unexpected 16-day stop
at Madeira, in course of which he became friendly with a family with three daughters. The
following year, he set sail for Madeira again. While the ship approached the harbour, he
signalled to one of the daughters with a marriage proposal.
Needless to say, it was accepted.
Workwise, he had a career as an electric telegraph engineer and
inventor, and took part in the laying of the FrenchAtlantic submarine communications cable in 1869. At the age of
12
he
won
a
prize
for
translating Lucian
of
Samosata's Dialogues of the Gods from Latin to English. And he
is widely known for determining the correct value of absolute
zero as approximately -273.15 Celsius.
3. He was a French Physicist whose name is included in the list of
the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. From his experiments
on the torsional force for metal wires, he derived the following
result
34
"... the moment of the torque is, for wires of the same metal, proportional to the
torsional angle, the fourth power of the diameter and the inverse of the length of the
wire..."
He is also considered a pioneer in the field of geotechnical engineering for his contribution
to retaining wall design. And before you wonder why he’s in this list, he developed the
definition of the electrostatic force of attraction and repulsion.
4. This Sherlock Holmes lookalike has a rather chequered career-graph. He enrolled at
the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz, Austria, in 1875 on a Military Border scholarship. During
his first year, he never missed a lecture, earned the highest grades possible, passed nine
exams (that’s nearly TWICE as many required), and also started a culture club. However, at
the end of his second year, he lost his scholarship and became addicted to gambling. During
his third year, he gambled away his allowance and his tuition money, later gambling back his
initial losses. He never graduated from the university and did not
receive grades for the last semester.
In his final years, he walked to the park every day to feed the pigeons
and even brought injured ones into his hotel room to nurse back to
health.
He
probably
suffered
from obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD) in his later years. He fired a secretary because of her
weight and on several occasions, directed a subordinate to go home
and change her dress.
In spite of all this, he supposedly possessed a photographic memory and could speak eight
languages. He is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating
current (AC) electricity supply system and has the SI unit of magnetic field strength named
after him.
5. This Italian physicist was made a count by Napoleon in 1801.
He improved and popularized the electrophorus, a device to
produce static electricity. He found the presence of methane at
Lake Maggiore and also managed to isolate the same. He devised
experiments such as the ignition of methane by an
electric spark in a closed vessel. He invented the voltaic pile, an
early electric battery, which produced a steady electric current.
6.
This German physicist and mathematician devised his own
equipment to obtain a direct proportionality between the potential
difference applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current
(this is the most basic law in electrical engineering… remember your
first year? ).
35
7. His gravestone is inscribed with the number "772.55", his
climacteric measurement of the mechanical equivalent of heat.
Need we say more??
8. This remarkable English scientist had a rather humble beginning. At fourteen, he became
an apprentice to a bookbinder. He read a number of books on science during his seven-year
long apprenticeship, and implemented many of the principles discussed therein. At the age of
twenty, he attended lectures by Sir Humphrey Davy, one of the most
noted chemists of the day, following which he sent Davy a threehundred page book based on notes he had taken during the lectures.
Subsequently, Davy employed him as a secretary, and later as a
scientific assistant. The rest, as they say, is history.
He made significant contributions the fields of electromagnetism and
electrochemistry. In an experiment, he wrapped two insulated coils
of wire around an iron ring, and found that, upon passing a current
through one coil, a momentary current was induced in the other coil
(that’s exactly what we call mutual induction).
Einstein is known to have kept a picture of this man upon his study wall, along with those of
Isaac Newton and James Clark Maxwell. Commendable!!

FORGOTTEN DREAMS “TECHNOLOGY CONTROLS THE WORLD”
37
The Roman empire ruled the world because they built roads,the Brits ruled the world because
they built ships, America; the atom bomb. Power of any civilization or country is measured
by work of its ignited minds, its technical advancement. Location of IIT Kharagpur is often
debated. Placed miles away from shining cities, unlike other IITs, it is said that nothingness
surrounds the campus. But in my opinion, its location is unparalleled. Outside lies nothing
except a glimpse of true reality of India. Poverty, Illiteracy, child labor; name any nemesis
and you can see it there. 67.2% of Indian population lives on less than US$ 2 per day, and I
would rather not embarrass readers by giving them health and civic amenities stats.
IITs were founded with one important perspective, to provide “India’s brightest” with best
technical education in the country so they may become instruments of progress. We, of all the
people are given a torch to enlighten the lives of others, who don’t have access to such
opportunities. Youth, they say, is the phase where one has time, energy, resources to
innovate, to start a change. But what are we really doing? Introspection much needed!
Seeking out best placement is not at all a wrong thing to do; and most of us here spent 4 best
years of life rightly doing so. But here is the fact also, paying taxes does not fulfil your debt
to the society. Spare your time for needy people out there, Spent some energy for doing some
good for them, Use your gained knowledge, so that dreams of a better India, of those who
laid the stones of IITs are not forgotten.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ACHILLES’ HEEL
(Written during my MS days at IITKGP – the very first time I was assigned a TA duty :P)
38
It was one of those typical Friday evenings. For one thing, I do not have a class on that day.
Now after three days of getting up at six-thirty to attend class at seven-thirty (which further
meant sitting dreamy-eyed through one or two hours, after which you blissfully realise that
you have understood nothing), this itself should be cause for celebration. Besides, there was
this further prospect of going home ( that is, giving hostel food the slip for two whole days,
and getting to taste such elysian delights as KFC chicken, Irish coffee at CCD, or simply
maccherjhol at home) that made Friday all the more enchanting.
But this Friday was different. Because on Thursday night I had consumed this huge plate of
American Chopsuey (that too, on my roomie’s behest) that had turned out to be particularly
treacherous. So, after two rounds of throwing up the earlier night, I was left with a weak body
and a raging anger against all the joints serving Chinese cuisine at KGP.
All that, of course, meant that I got up at 9’o clock, gave a gargantuan yawn, and threw away
the covers with lots of difficulty. “It’s Friday!” the whole surrounds seemed to scream.
Let me fast-forward the next one hour in which I brushed my teeth, had a bath, put on my
going-out clothes and combed my hair. I am a woman, you see, and a woman with an
incomplete toilet is no woman at all. So it was ten when I was ready to go out for the lab
(Friday is a fine time for catching up on old friends through mail, you know, and what can be
better than the free internet at the lab), when suddenly I saw my guide’s number ringing on
my cell phone.
You see, there are times when you feel technology simply didn’t exist. The mobile phone,
which is such a useful contraption for cootchie-cooing with your sweetie late at night, can
really put you in distress when you have, for example, your mom’s number blinking on it
while you are at the disc with a can of beer in your grip.
So now my guide was calling me, and when I picked up he informed me that I was supposed
to take a tutorial class for the first year undergraduate students of the department that
morning. And that class had already started. From nine-thirty. And I was required to join
immediately.
The first feeling, of course, was of fear. Man, I had done away with these topics when I was
in my undergraduate first year, and I had been only too happy to forget about them. Besides,
doing a class yourself and taking a class are two different games altogether.
But escape I could not, so off I trotted to the department. There were around 30 of the
newbies, patiently and assiduously solving a problem sheet. I was supposed to act as
facilitator, helping them in case they got stuck with a problem.
I strutted around the classroom, trying to look important. They say this is the age of showing
off, and it was very important that they got no wind of the butterflies in my stomach.
Once in a while, one of them would raise a hand, or some a finger. Some had solved a
problem and got an answer which did not match the one given on the sheet, others were
worried about a misprint in the paper, and some others were inquiring about the correct
method to go about solving a problem.
You have to give time for a relationship to build up. I would never have believed it had I not
taken that class on that day. Half an hour into it, and I was slowly feeling comfortable. The
coldness on my palms vanished. My throat was clear when I spoke. I was no longer
apprehensive while I answered their queries. Most importantly, I was enjoying it.
There was a chubby young boy in the corner, calling for me. He showed me his work. “Is this
39
the correct way to solve this problem, ma’am?” was his question. I assured him that there was
no other way as such. “I will call you when I finish the rest of the problem, ma’am.”
So five minutes later I was back at his desk. Here was a problem in which you were required
to find out the percentage increase in a resistance value with temperature.
It seemed the boy was in great trouble. He had his chin cupped in his hands and looked the
very picture of distress.
I looked at his work. He had calculated the ratio of the changed value of resistance to the
original value. Obviously, he had obtained a 1+ an additional term.
“How do I find out the percentage increase, ma’am?” was his question.
“You have already found it out, dear,” I informed him. And then explained to him how he
would get it from the expression.
And then the boy smiled to himself- a half-ashamed, half-relieved kind of smile. Given the
situation, I would say it was almost beatific.
Gradually, the three hours allotted for the tutorial drew to an end. It was time for them to
submit their notebooks for evaluation and leave. It was important for us to check that each
had written his /her name on the front cover.
The chubby boy submitted his copy and walked off. He was apparently in a hurry.
I turned the front page, to ensure his name was there.
And there it was. His name was Achilles.
The hero of the Trojan War who was vulnerable only on his heels.

THE END OF SIXTH SEMESTER
“O my god! Thanks...Atlast the most loaded semester came to an end!” this was what I said
in my mind just after handling the answer script to the invigilator.That was the moment of my
last paper ‘Electromagnetic Theory and its applications’ marking the end of my 3rd year .
I took my bag which was placed by the dais of the Raman Audiotorium and quickly packed
my stuffs .A thing to note here would be the way I carelessly stuffed inside the admit card,as
the day marked the end of its utility as well!. My exams went average,which was but the
usual thing for me.
I continued my walk ,passing across people and over-hearing friends talk about how-thepaper-was, some strictly avoiding any further discussion after having successfully crossed the
much tormenting period of tests,some already heading for party-with-friends, some planning
to go ahead for dormancy after having done rigorous night-outs.
A friend approached me and asked “ How was the paper?” , and all that I said was - “ I
studied the theory yaar!, but dint practice much”.He said “same here....” with the sadness- of
-a -million-ages expression and lo! thethe next moment he was again the back to the old whocares-attitude boy!
It’s true ,we all feel relaxed and happy at the same time.The successful completion of a
semester fills us with a sense achievement and the end of tests brings us to the state of rest
(though temporary).
I reached at the cycle shed and got onto it and started off for my hall. But on the way what I
saw was the big event of the day.Pedalling round the GolC I got to see the gleeful-gathering
of the final passing out students all decked up and embellished with all their amazing display
costumes.
Now this is what is truly fantastic!Everyone looking unique and eye-poppingly out of the
world!
Now, I don’t really have an idea of the origin this tradition of KGP,but yes i would surely
agree that disguising oneself into one of the characters and living up this last scholarly day of
your best alma mater can be the only to smile through the end of the beautiful journey.
Because deep inside , its sure to hurt us in a way.
What we love we long to be with it forever.Sure , these outgoing students will not be
physically attached to the instiany more but will surely have the memories embedded within
them for rest of their life.
I still have two more years to go. I would like to make the best of it.
The end of ofa semester,once again gave me a chance to reflect upon my take on my own
tenure of being a part of this great place.

HAPPENINGS IN AND AROUND
FRESHER'S INTRODUCTION
The year began with the Freshers' Introduction Program at V1, Vikaramshila Complex. The
event kicked off with a welcome note by Prof. Jayanta Pal, Head of the Department. He
accentuated the importance of strong academics, along with extra-curricular activities for
development of an all-round personality. Dr.Karabi Biswas, Advisor, Electrical Engineering
Society, gave a brief introduction of the Society and its activities. Besides, there were other
Professors who acquainted the freshmen students with the various facets of Electrical
Engineering. The Program ended with a vote of Thanks from Rituraj Gautam, General
Secretary, EE Society.
VISIT TO CESC, BUDGE BUDGE, KOLKATA
A visit was arranged for 2nd years, 3rd years, M.Tech. Students and Ph.D Scholars to CESC,
Budge Budge, Kolkata. The students were accompanied by Prof. S. Chatterjee and Prof.
S.Patra.
VISIT TO MAITHON POWER PLANT, JHARKHAND
40 students accompanied by Prof. Dheeman Chatterjee visited the Maithon Power Plant,
Jharkhand. The Maithon Power Limited (MPL), joint venture between Tata Power and
Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), has implemented two 525 MW coal-fired power
projects in Jharkhand. MPL is the first successful public-private partnership in green field
generation projects in the country.
Firstly the students were taken to guest rooms and offered breakfast, then followed the
introduction to safety measures and rules of conduct of trip. They were given safety helmets
and taken to the plant. They were shown the synchronous generator; the working of the
generator and the role of excitors were explained to them.They were also taken to observe the
power transmission control units, relays, trippers,and logic grid observation instruments.
They were also shown the transformers used to step up the voltage to synchronise the power
plant to grid. The students also visited the power plant control and observatory office where
they were shown the starting process of a generator and various parameters specifying the
health and operation of grid. They also visited the steam generators and the use of
44
electrostatic precipitators in exhaust system was explained to them. After lunch, the students
visited the chain system used to crush coal and feed it to the power plant. Overall, the visit
was fruitful and provided the students with a deep insight of the working of power plants.
GUEST LECTURE
A guest lecture on the topic “DSP Techniques for Understanding the Dynamics of the Heart
and Brain” was delivered by Prof. Narayana Dutta on 3th August at 5 P.M in the
Departmental seminar room. The lecture was attended by number of faculty members and a
large number of undergraduate and postgraduate students and research scholars. Prof. Dutta
has extensive research experience in the area of speech signal processing. He has been
actively collaborating with doctors and scientists in NIMHANS, Bangalore for several
decades. He has supervised many PhDs and has more than 130 publications in international
journals of repute.
TEACHER'S DAY
Teacher's Day is celebrated as a tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society by
imparting knowledge and enlightening the students. Celebration of Teacher's Day is fairly
popular in many countries across the world and is even acknowledged by UNESCO.
For students, Teacher's Day is an occasion to pay respect and gratitude to teachers for their
selfless effort in shaping their career and enriching the education system in the process. The
EE Society also marked the celebration of Teachers’ Day in the Departmental Seminar Room
on 5th September 2012. The event witnessed a huge turnout of undergraduate, postgraduate
and research students. Prof. Jayanta Pal, the Head of the Department, inaugurated the
program. He highlighted the importance of Teacher’s Day and threw some light on the life of
Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan .This was followed by a cake-cutting ceremony and a song
presented by the students and a quiz for the professors. At the end snacks were distributed to
all. Finally, Prof. B.M. Mohan presented a short speech on the present deterioration in the
relationship between students and teachers and laid stress on improving it. The program
ended with the distribution of mementoes to the faculty members as a token of thanks for
their role in improving the lives of the students. And this day went down in the history of EE
society since it marked the first instance when Teachers’ Day has been celebrated at the
Departmental level at IITKGP.
INTERACTIVE SESSION
45
The event that followed on was an Interactive Session between Sophomore students and
Seniors on 9th of November, 2012 where doubts regarding Internships, ForeignTraineeships
and Placements etc. were clarified. This session was envisioned to provide a platform to share
the experiences of Final year students and Pre-Final year students who secured projects in
Foreign Universities. It also served as a platform where the seniors underlined to their juniors
the importance of CGPA and Extra-Academic Activities in their future endeavours. Besides,
the speakers discussed the preparation of successful Curriculum Vitae, writing applications
for and mailing the applications for obtaining Foreign Traineeship, and various other aspects
and importance of securing internships. In addition, doubts and concerns of the students
regarding student life in the Department of Electrical Engineering were answered. Rituraj
Gautam, Secretary, EE Society, and Prashasti Agrawal, Treasurer, EE Society,
contributed to the programme by sharing their valuable experiences.
T-SHIRT DESIGNING
The T-Shirt Designing Competition received copious entries, probably because of the large
prize money on offer. The honours finally went to Aryan Sharma, whose design pleased the
judges, ahem, to a T!!
ALUMNI MEET
This year IITKGP celebrated its alumni meet form 4th to 6th January 2013, but it was the first
time that the EE Society organised a small function for its alumni on 4th January at 3:30pm in
Department Seminar room. The HOD, Prof. Jayanta Pal welcomed the guests with a small
vote for thanks for vising the department and congratulated them on the success they had
achieved in their lives. About 20 alumni visited the department and were greeted on behalf of
the Department by the members of the Society. This was followed by a presentation on the
progress made by the Department in last sixty years. Everyone was invited to share his/ her
experience of their lives. At the end everyone signed a board with their personal messages,
giving messages for the future generations. Their work made the Department proud and
inspired the coming generations to continue in their footsteps.
46
A QUICK REWIND
They say a picture speaks a thousand words. And we surely agree! The following pictures
capture some of the happenings in the Department in the past year. Needless to say, a
chronological order is never maintained. After all, memories don’t follow bullet points, do
they?
