The Great experience at VaniVihar (Contd..) P.K. Muduli On the admission to Physics department To
get to know each other in an urban place usually takes some time, because the
people are more professional there. However, Vanivihar is different, even
though it is situated at the center of the city of Bubaneswar. I remember the
day I join the department of Physics. I was with my uncle . When I was busy
with preparing the documents required, I saw a person sitting bravely. He was
very thin guy wearing a pair of spectacles. I decided to get introduced, and
ask him whether he also came to join the Physics department. He said he is
Muktipada Behera. After talking a while with him I came to know that he is a
topper from Ravensaw college, and he scored second in the entrance examination.
I had not checked carefully about the names in the top list of entrance
examination. In fact I had checked the list from below as, I was expecting my
name near to the end. Then I saw a girl with his father. She was beautiful
and was looking anxious to get admitted. I started thinking, “ if the first
girl is so beautiful, what will be the others? Must be much better, this
place is going to be very exciting”. After some time, I found a lot of people
gathering at the other table in the seminar room. I cannot remind all of them
now. But one face I still remember was a whitish skin person with a pair of
spectacles looking really bright and always with a smiling face. I saw him administrating
the others people sitting there. I did not dare to go there for talking.
After some time the admission procedure started. The names were called as per the forms we filled on during the
arrival. So I was called a bit earlier. When I enter the room I see two women,
one of them looking like a professor, and the other a young teacher. Latter I
came to know that they were Dr. P. Khare and Dr. Swapna Mohapathra. I had
forgotten to get a copy of marksheet get attested. So they asked me “ Do you
know some one here who can attest your marksheet? “ I said “ No”. They were generous and they attest
that themselves and I got admitted. My overall first impression of the
department was very good. The first class of Prof. Barik On
