Back in the month of June, I got selected for the ACM Summer Schools. Having had some previous experience around security and cryptography, Introduction to Cryptography at IIT Bombay was the obvious choice. But let's be real, more than the cryptography, it was the IIT Bombay that caught my eye and influenced the choice. I mean, it's IIT Bombay after all, what once was (and remained) a dream for many wannabe engineers during their PCM and JEE days. And so after a month of back and forth with my college due to a potential clash between the summer school and our semester-end examinations, we took a risk, and off we went from Namma Bengaluru to Aamchi Mumbai.
