It still feels like yesterday when the golden e-mail finally arrived, which changed all of our lives or in fact, brought them back to normal. The atmosphere is filled with excitement, fear, happiness and a little bit of everything as everyone is preparing to get to campus. We didn’t want to miss out on the fun either!

So we present to you: 'E.T.A - Estimated Time of Arrival', an episode that captures it all - our emotions, our expectations and all of the masti that we're hoping for. Asking questions to students from all the B.Tech batches set to return, we got all the hilarious takes and sizzling masala which we all seriously missed staying at home.

So grab your headphones and tune in to our latest episode on your favourite streaming platform. P.S, say hi to the two new voices on our podcast - Vanshika and Ashfaq.

All good things must come to an end, and here our journey of interacting with the batch of 2021 one last time ends, with none other than Arya Das, a computer science graduate who is known as the know-it-all tech geek. He considered the Tinkerer's lab like his second home and his passion for robotics helped IITP's Robocon team reach great heights. He received an offer for MS in Robotics and Aerospace from Georgia institute of Technology besides other achievements and is currently a research associate at IIT Kanpur.

So tune in to episode 5 to hear more about the research opportunities in tech, the robotics culture on campus, the surprising culture shock and adapting to it, his journey to getting an offer from GeorgiaTech, doing a PhD in India and all the relatable challenges that he faced on the way.
