Activities
Cricket Group
To live in India and not talk or play cricket does not seem right. The biggest religion in India is cricket and very recently, we have a regular cricket playing group here at IIT Delhi. The team plays regularly on weekdays in front of Bharti Building starting from 5 pm. Consisting mostly of PhD students, the group is joined by a bunch of masters, undergraduates, office staff as well. Moreover, Faculty members also carry a representation here, occasionally showcased by spin bowling of Mausam and all round performance of Sayan Ranu. The communication is primarily through whatsapp group.
Apart from playing cricket, there are cricket enthusiasts who like to watch and analyse cricket. They like to watch key matches together in labs and whenever permits visit Ferozshah Kotla as well.
Cycling Group - BTwin Diaries
Started by cycling trio of Prathmesh Kallurkar, Suvam Patra and Ankit Anand, this is one of the vibrant groups of CSE PhD. The group describe themselves as “We are a group of amateur cyclists from IIT Delhi who are starting to have a different look at Delhi by early morning cycle trips in and around the city to historical, modern, sporting and random places” on their facebook page
Many of the PhD students have been riders in this group at least once if not every weekend which the group strives for. The group also has a strong presence of women led by likes of Dilpreet Kaur and Sakshi Tiwari who have cycled more than 50 kms in a single trip. Get in touch with anyone of these to get added to this whatsapp group.
