quite an excellent post. But very early enough I developed deep contempt for many of our teachers and chose to educate myself on my own. that would be true for most of us - self taught engineers we are. Also unlike in the US where there are many universities of top repute, in India we have either the IITs or NITs [wrt engineering] - and actual quality of education their is also isnt great [ well i can say about NITs].
