Not a secret for any UOM student, but anyway, it's from the Engineering Tower. :)
Okay. I can't wait to discover UOM next year :D

Carrot, the Wikipedia page you linked to allowed me to learn something I didn't know about the Indian rupee:
"The Indian rupee sign was selected through an open competition among Indian residents. The design was presented to the public by the government of India on 15 July 2010. The design of the Indian rupee sign is a combination of the Devanagari letter "र" (ra) and the Latin capital letter "R"."

So this is a brand new sign, not even one year old. We'll see if it catches up with people. The problem so far is that there is no easy way to type it with a keyboard. What is even worse is that you can't even copy it from elsewhere.
Time will tell.
@Siganus
The competition was in the news because of the controversy, as it mimics the €.
& I have yet to see it replace Rs in major publications.
Its the Engineering Tower..my favourite place at UOM;)) Great pics btw!
