I was snoozing for a few minutes this morning. And I woke up and checked the Stats of my blogspot...a thing that I do every half hour or so.
And found that there were suddenly 30 odd hits to my old post:
http://gpsastry.blogspot.in/2012/10/mere-formality.html
I got curious and saw what was in it that is so attractive. And found that it is about the Conduct Rules for employees at IIT KGP.
And I thought it is an important document and decided to copy-paste it, hereunder, as they say in Govt documents.
I think I am doing no crime nor violating any of these rules thereby, since the document is in the public domain.
Read it at your leisure and be warned:
