I watched my father care for my mother for six years as she slowly succumbed to the ravages of Alzheimer's disease.He gradually took over all the housework and cooking while dealing daily with her hurt, her rage, her confusion and her fear. He protected her from herself. He made sure that she kept the weekly hair and nail appointments that she so loved. He went shopping with her for the pretty clothes she adored.When he finally acquiesced to his children's insistence that our mother be placed in a nursing facility (because we were worried that his health was suffering from the strain of her care), he visited her twice every day. He paid aides to apply her makeup and arrange her hair every day. When the facility requested that he take her jewelry from her, including her $30,000 diamond engagement ring, he had a jeweler make up copies using cubic zirconia so that she never knew that she wasn't still wearing her own lovely things.And at her memorial service, the room fragrant with dozens of heavy bouquets of gardenias which were her favorite flower, my stoic father fought to keep his composure as he spoke of his love for the lively, witty, beautiful woman who had spent almost sixty years at his side. He called their time together a privilege, and recounted as though it had happened yesterday the first time he ever spoke with her, on a staircase at their university.The manifestation of my father's commitment and devotion to my mother in those unimaginably difficult years is the bravest thing I have ever witnessed.

Every university leases its facilities for special occasions, including catering. Typically there is a university facilities office that handles these matters. As a student or alumnus you will get special rates—maybe even free use. You usually don’t need to write a formal letter. A phone call and a meeting to iron out details are all that is needed. You will probably be asked to sign a contract verifying these details and the date.

I only talk of IIT and not IIM because i dont know much about IIMHowever i can say quite categorically that IITs are not better or even as good as Foreign Universities in say USA or China or Japan or Singapore.I am basing this on three factors:-(a) Standard or Quality of Professors and Teaching(b) Overall Campus and Facilities(c) Focus on Learning compared to Focus on Finding a JobI am basing all this on IIT upto 2010. Unless IITs have changed drastically from 2010 - 2020 - I believe my answer would be appropriate.Standard or Quality of TeachingMy Son studied in IIT Chennai.His Professors were ADEQUATE. They taught well but they did not encourage post lecture visits nor did they answer lateral questions about the subject or topic. They never stopped to examine the fundamentals - just told students to assume certain things and go on. Not one student knew - WHY THESE ASSUMPTIONS HAD TO BE MADE.He then studied in Texas A&MHis Professors were GOOD. They encouraged post lecture visits. They answered Lateral Questions. They taught fundamentals. IN fact they demanded to know if the students understood fundamentals - otherwise they would teach them again.Concepts could be understood far better and clearer.This was the same for Undergrads as well.Campus FacilitiesIIT is simply not even 50% of the Quality of Foreign University Campuses.The Hostel Rooms are fifth rate, The Food was fifth rateForeign University Campuses have Olympic Sized Pools, Sports Complexes, Gymnasiums etc.This is a University in Singapore. Any Student can swim in this pool. Any Student can live in these Hostels. They have 10 Canteens to eat from - all serving high quality food at subsidized cost.These are the Hostels (Called Halls).This is Typical IIT Fare. Food which once had a mouse served with it. In US - even Jail prisoners would get better fare.An Ordinary College has a Meal Plan that would be better than some Corporates in India.Vegetables, Salads, Pasta, Meat - all included in the Meal Plan. If you are Non Vegetarian you can put on 10 Pounds.In IITs you would lose 10 pounds minimum.Focus on Learning rather than Focus on JobsWant to make a Project in IIT that is different?3 Idiots was absolutely right. Most Students who want to work on a different project will not be entertained much.Procuring the items is impossible, Releasing Funds from IITS is tougher than getting money from Nirav Modi. Requesting for a Foreign Component from Germany - Requires to be put up all the way to the top and may take a long long time.This is unless a Corporate agrees to assist the project which happens to about 10% of the projects.Professors will allott random projects done by previous year students to most of the students except to a select handful. Anyone of these students - say they want a more interesting project - the Professors usually rant “Focus on your GPA and Placement!!!”In Foreign Universities- Such Sanctions are far easier as most Universities have much more money than IIT could have in 50 years. Even ordinary colleges in US.You could get components for a project in a few weeks as mostly you will order it yourself (The University pays you to order it yourself).Anyone can do any project. Completely Independent. No Last year project to copy off and get bare minimum marks.The Student actually learns…..So IITs are NO WAY BETTER than Foreign Universities in Any way - except for Indians it is closer to home.The Teaching, the Environment and the Facilities are all much much worse than even 2nd Tier Colleges in USA or 1st Tier Colleges in Singapore or China.
