Every Day, A New Story at VIT Chennai

Image
When I first joined VIT Chennai, I was nervous to the core. After finishing school, the idea of staying away from home, meeting strangers, handling academics, and living independently felt like a huge mountain to climb. I kept asking myself , will I adjust? Will I make friends? Or will I just end up feeling homesick every day? Once I stepped onto the campus, things felt different.

Who knew an industrial visit to a historic museum could feel this exciting? At Dhakshinachitra we could see art, culture, and history come alive. We reached Dakshinachitra around 10 a.m., excited for the day ahead. After making our way through the slightly crowded ticket counter, the very first thing that caught our eye was a vibrant bazaar. Stalls were filled with colorful artworks, handcrafted items, and ethnic products that gave us a glimpse of South India’s rich culture. As we walked further, we saw many traditional houses from different regions waiting to be explored. At first we saw authentic Chettinad House of Tamil Nadu. Inside, we found displays about the five types of landforms described in Tamil culture. One of the most interesting parts was a room with a huge antique mirror. Of course, we couldn’t resist taking selfies there. Next we stepped into Ambur House. The atmosphere here was calm, quiet, and filled with a sense of devotion. Every corner of the house reflected spirit...
