Chacha, your kishore kumar collection was an integral part of nights at SR11 top floor. Will remember our hourly meetings during exams fondly....ARINDAM MAJUMDAR

One word..... Chacha Possibly the coolest person in IIM Indore by far, can’t forget that elder-knowledge possessing look back in PGP-1 with you holding your big, black umbrella. A man of fine taste and spontaneous wit....DEBOPRIO DUTTA

Chacha is one of those few guys in life you feel fortunate to have met them. He is one of the most spontaneous people. People beware of his one liners!! I would fondly remember all the time we spent together debating random issues and fighting over them(literally), watching sitcoms, series and movies, all the times our group sat together to listen and watch Ghazals to rock songs :) my best times here are with you guys in it. Stay in touch and I wish you all the success and happiness in life :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

Abhishek bhai or chacha thats how I call him. One of the most respected persons in the campus. I feel fortunate to have met you during my stay at the IIM Indore. Is one of the biggest fans of anime in the campus. Loves watching TV series. I dont think there is any series on DC he has not watched. A creative mind with out of the box thinking.

Kabhi kabhi moody ho jate hain chacha. But very pure at heart. I feel very lucky to have you as a friend at the campus. you had been there at every times of happiness and sadness with me. Those late night economics quiz preparations at JP bhai’s room, PD, trance, classic, all those places we had been together to hang out. We fought, we

laughed together... All this will be missed. Wish you good luck for your future and yes we’ll be in touch always cheers :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

honestly, he is the most chill person in college. never gives a crap about anything, while most of the people around him are always worrying about small issues. literally the funniest, most caring, & most interesting person ive ever met. Cant forget those memories where we were drinking & doing assignment at the same time in term-1. I sincerely wish him a successful and happy professional and personal life :)...KISHLAI KUMAR

Chacha turned into Chachu....I was most scared of u when I first saw u with grey hair but loved d fact how u invited me to the group...sabke liye tum chacha ho but mere liye papa jaise ho...even if you r not in the group, ppl talk about u only.....group me fun factor is cause of u only and its so sweet of u ki tum kisi baat ka bura bhi nhi maante....I feel jealous cause u r more close to JP :P :P.....Group ke sabse samjhdaar, mature and yet so kiddish bande ho aap.....kaise ek chotu se samose ke liye u brought such a big pichku n babu took d samosa n u were left with pichku....Thanku for always remembering my crispy corn order (I know u also luv crispy corn :))...u’ll be always there in our talks....I wish our group will be like this forever....Good luck for the future ahead :)......i know u’ll be more famous than Alok Nath ;) ...VAISHALI SHARMA

He is the eldest and wisest person in of our group, perhaps that is why we call him â??Chachaâ??, though I prefer calling him â??Abhishekâ?? as it makes him feel little younger :P He is â??love at the first sightâ?? me. Right from the Bakra group, he has been always with me. Iâ??ll always cherish our friendship. Iâ??ll miss our assignments, late night studies, hang outs, those old Hindi songs (inke zamane ke), poetic mood (jo aksar khas mauko me jag jata hai) and serious discussion over global topics. PS: You have always made me feel good that there is someone lazier than me. ...JAIPAL MANDYAL See our favourite spot is same too. You are the only person I would have wanted to share a wall with. Well wish was foreseen and fulfilled by fate.

Had the honour of having my first spirit sip with you and many more. I love your taste in music and the choice of movies. Definitely one of the most experienced and learned person on planet-i. Although you are famous for your UMBRELLA brand, but , for me, I shall salute your courage and intelligence (read ISM exam). .. Your friendship is precious to me. I will miss our little aiming game here. Stay is touch chacha Thou shall be

missed. Stay sharp and stay in touch. My best wishes for your future.

Cheers!!! Your wall-mate...SANKALPA SARKAR

When I met him for first time, I thought he is a doctor. Gray hair, calm expression on face, glasses which tells he is ghissu (which he is not) and a polished mature language with a tinge of shayarana andaz. So I nick named him â??Dil ka doctorâ?? â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦.. And I still prefer him calling Doctor sahab Well Abhishek, is a very sharp guy.( Its just that his gray hair has slowed him down , just joking :P) . He always brings a mature point to table. He possesses knowledge of diverse fields. He is a very creative person. His out of the world depiction on black boards has always make us think, dame why didnâ??t this idea strike me first.

The best part of his personality is, he donâ??t give a dame to anyone.

He is like a sadhu who is inert to any external environment change �����.. His capability to get unaffected by environment will help him to handle crucial positions in future ��� I wish him all the best for future ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

One word that comes for Chauhan or Chacha as we say him is “Adorable”. He is a very humorous person and keeps the tempo of any situation fun-filled and charismatically charmed.I remember the fun we had in Himalayan trip esp. the one liners “Aree Aree Aree...”. He is a database of hindi and english songs and could be very entertaining in Antakchari’s. Quite an intelligent guy with good logical thinking Chacha has always managed to bag good CG in academics. I remember the small trip we had from gate 2 to pigdamber gaon in search of a daily commodity and then only I knew he is a good at heart person.

It was nice to know Chacha and the time we spent in Planet I. I will always remember and cherish these golden moments!!!...SAURAV DEMTA Dada...the most unique thing is your ability to propose unique ideas when everyone else runs out of ideas. Aur tumhara Akshay Kumar style ka chhata to sach mein unique choice hai. I really enjoyed our interactions when you used to knock at my door late in the night :P... but you ensured that we kept meeting. Wish you a great life ahead!!...

NEERAJ KUMAR Chacha ke baare mein kya kahen ... bas itna kahenge (mausi) ladka heera hai heera. 1 bhi galat aadat nahin hai ismein. Bhaisahab random BC mein inka koi saani nahin hai..... Tension to lete hi nahin hain .... Inki

class aur exam ki inse jyada inke shubhchintakon ko tension rehti hai.. ISM ke paper ka disclaimer ho, chahe Ashish Sadh ki coke and rum .... aapki har baat mein raha hai bohot dam.... Hope to be good friends forever .... machate raho.... all the best...RAVI MAHESHWARI

SHE HIT S.

AD

Sirjee, we have had almost similar life at IIM I. I kind of replicated everything you did, be it VC, Chanakya, summers and now exchange.

Hoping to continue the same with finals :p Lekin to be true you have been a great help and i really thank you for that. Keep providing the same help in future as i will need it the most :p ...KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA Adhit, fondly called as Chhota! :), first met in Section A when you used to sit in front of me! I still remember when I had said I was not hoping much from you in DB summers interview(since I did not know you then), you got motivated and showed that you were one of the best among the lot. It was then I came to know that you were my junior from VJTI and then we became friends. You were always way ahead of your times in terms of the depth of knowledge you had in almost every aspect. Being a no non sense guy( I remember coining this term for you :P ), you always showed others how to think and do justice to whatever you do in life.. Excellent writing skills (Thanks for all the SOPs that you wrote on my behalf) and a very good presenter. I hope your aspiration to become RBI Gov one day, comes true! Always enjoyed the fun times (Germany, Mumbai bus trips etc) and when you first got high in Amsterdam!! :P :P . Liked teasing you a lot. Thank you for all you taught me before Fin exams! you are an inspiration!!

Clearly your performance at IIM I says that you are an ABC material. but then you would not have made friends like us there :) May you get all what you desire in life! Have a great one! Proud to have you as a friend! hope to keep in touch. cheers.....RAHUL YADAV

First things first, fill the ‘nickname’ tab that is present in the left :P. I will

start with a confession. You are the only guy on campus in front of whom I feel some sort of an inferiority complex( I think you know me well enough to understand that this is unusual) and curse god for not giving the same intelligence to everyone. And, both of us know it that if you want, you can reach the very top( not just another fucking VP, but something like the RBI governor). In the last couple of years, you have changed a lot( I would say, for the better). I so desperately want to use the nickname here but am somehow refraining from doing so because if Neha sees this yearbook some years down the line and gets to know the nickname, there will be a lot of unpleasant questions asked ;) We are miles apart in everything we do, our thought process, but I am very sure we will remain the best of friends for life. Signing off :)...ARINDAM PAUL

Nickname- Shetty?? Really? :P Hehe, chalo I won’t be the one to disclose it here and irritate you again. As it is, you are one of the most persistent victims of my drunken stupors :P I remember how our friendship started in the first year, when I used to discuss my Fin inclinations with you. You used to have glorious Veerappan-themed moustache then. Now, as we are about to end our stint here, neither your moustache remains, nor my interests in a Fin career. And I think we can agree that both the changes were for the better :P You, as a person, define the term “focus” for me.

You came here with a goal, you worked hard, and enabled by your natural talent, and are now walking out a few more steps closer towards your dream career :) And in that way, I have always tried to take a leaf out of your book, focus my dedication towards something I love and enjoy doing, and imbibe your work-ethics. And yes, I do expect to see big things from you, and I am talking about TIME-magazine level big!! Be hugely successful so that someday I can brag about knowing you as a friend to other people :D Stay happy! :)...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

One of the few people I truly respect on campus. Perfect blend of intelligence, hard work and maturity. We were in the same groups all the time in the initial days, be it Bakra, acad groups, Rip, and I always counted on you for support. I still remember you were the one to call and wake me up in the 1st term whenever something important came up. Needless to say, you will surely excel wherever you go and whatever you do. All the very best :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

Hey, you were one of the first people whom I contacted you before joining IIM Indore. I have always bothered you a lot, be it whether to join IIM-I, to taking tips for summers or asking doubts etc. You have been very kind

and sweet in helping me out. A must say, Adhit is a very modest and down to earth guy, despite having so many achievements. Keep up this nature always. Hope to interact with you sometime in future as well!! Cheers!! ...MAJUMDAR ARCHITA

Hay Adhit, As I have told you earlier too that I find your sincerity and dedication the major aspect of your nature/character which differentiates you..and has taken you where you are. I hope you keep that intact in future as well. I never knew you wanted to be RBI Gov going forward. I think you’ll make a good one if you do. As a fellow Voyage Capital member, I found you methodical in your approach and willing to learn. Wish you a very good luck in your life. ...VIVEK THEBARIA

Smart, intelligent blah blah everyone else will write only so Iâ??m going to write something different. Shetty!! You were so serious (or atleast came across that way) in the beginning that I was thoda scared of you :p. But you were one of the few people I knew before I even came to Indore and the last 2 years have been a great opportunity to get to know you better. You are cool Shetty â?? my final feeling. Lastly, exchange ne jo teri zindagio mein change laya hai use reverse mat hone dena. ...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

For me, one can get more intelligent than Adhit Shetty. The man is an absolute genius and excels in anything he pursues. In the first two terms, we used to speak only occassionaly during Man Utd matches.

But I got to know him well from Term 3 after we both decided to go on exchange together. The one quality I love about Adhit is that he can get along with anyone with ease (remember heart-to-hearts with Badushah bhai and MKB :P) and theres never a dull moment when Adhit is around. I thought that Adhit was a no-nonsense sort of guy but Frankfurt trip couldn’t have been more fun and enjoyable without him. Spacing out in Amsterdam, me chickening out in Europa, seeing Man Utd playing live are some of the experiences that I can never forget and I am glad you were there. The man needs to put only little (read Chotta :P) effort for anything he does and thats slighter unfair to lesser mortals like me. How can I miss talking about FIFA when talking about Adhit. I love it when Adhit kicks Pauls ass in FIFA. :P Adhit has conquered it all in Indore - Acads, PoRs and PPO and truly deserves it.

You have been and always be an inspiration to me and hope we stay in touch for the rest of our lives. Good luck! :)...HITESH H CHANDNANI

Adhit- the complete I block footballer! You are one of the smartest guys around and yet have no air about yourself. So friendly with everyone and I am sure there is nobody in the whole campus who would have something other than good stuff to describe you! Football is what brings us together most of the times and I shall miss watching matches with you and todi!

I had one of the best trips in Europe with you-the Mt Titlis one and that is something I shall not forget. Wish you the best for the future and am sure we will be seeing more of each other outside campus too! Cheers. ...KUSHAL JAJOO The I banker....smart, cool, composed....my sweet friend. He is a great guy to hang around with...A footballer and a FIFA freak (when he utters B#@%&^)...thanks for the chocolates and toffees which I robbed from your room....ALL THE BEST in life...ANSHU KUMAR

Easily the most brilliant guy I’ve known.. Never thought you could be so much fun before RIP. Assumed you were just some geeky guy.. Turned out nothing could be farther from the truth. You are super fun.. Sarcasm in every sentence :) You’ve been a great Friend, Mentor & Guide.. Thank you. And stay in touch :) All the very best...S KANCHANA

Adhit was someone I first got in contact through VC :) He is one of the must humble people I met on campus despite being one of the most smartest and hardworking guys in our batch. Always enjoyed conversing with him, be it about football or anything else, Always a bundle of energy during out Football@I-Block days, Needless to stay, I will remain in constant touch with him from nowon :)...Deepak Talluri

Shetty, I will make sure that this testimonial is longer that 3-4 lines (10 word ho gaye) :) There are two versions to Adhit : Adhit 1.0 would go to the mess alone, was (I think) very judgemental and would always do the right things. The new, improved Adhit 2.0 is what I prefer though. I think I saw a glimpse of it in while playing FIFA with you (we should record our voices once :)). A 2.0 is more open to people and their way of living, is a good company to share some thoughts with and is willing to take time off for friends. Old or new, you always had a very clear thought process and are very presentable. Level headed and very calm (something that you exhibit at the breakfast table) under pressure, I think your prof was correct when he said that you are ready to be unleashed in the corporate world. I am sure you will have another stint at college soon, so good luck for that.

Woh tera gift bahut sahi hai, donâ??t lose it or the person who gave it

to you....MANISH KUMAR MANU

God of economics. I have firm belief that you will make this entire batch famous one day when you go on to become The Governor of RBI. You are the epitome of how to find the balance between acads and friends. Well as far as academics are concerned youâ??ve earned the respect of the entire college. But you are also a fierce friend. You speak your mind and you earn everyoneâ??s respect and love for that. I would always ditch other people to be in the same bus as you and Rahul bhai cos those bus journeys were indeed memorable. You know, in the first term I always thought that you were this no-nonsense guy. But soon realised how I was wrong. Could not have managed to win that competition if it had not been for your presence of mind and presentation skills to answer all those questions posed at us during the Q&A round. You were always helpful to all of us unfortunate souls who do not possess the kind of intelligence that you do. Itâ??s been a pleasure knowing you. Look forward to a lot of more memorable and fun experiences in Bombay. ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

A star of the batch, scholar, economist so names to this little genius..

First guys who scored a perfect in Prof. Ganesh’s class. And yes a very gentle at heart, down to earth, affable person. He abstains from alcohol but his most friends are pro alcoholic :P We had some small hangout sessions at Trance and Classic and I would fondly remember him as a humble, ever smiling and a scholar :) Wish you good luck Banker :) ...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Hey Adhit :) ... My first and bestest mentor here at IIM I. Met you through the resume iterations and could not have asked for a better guide. U gave a whole new look to my resume and gave some Real good advice :). Was amazed by your patience and the efforts u took to guide me thorough the entire summers phase. A very humble and inspiring person and always with a smile and ready to help. Extremely smart and brains I say :). One person I respect :). Thanks a ton for everything :). All the very best for ur future, Stay in touch :)...BHAWNA S

One of the nicest fellow on campus. He is smart and intelligent. Have talked a lot over football. Always waited to see your expression every time Man U lost :p A regular I-block footballer who plays really well.

Had small talks with him on several occasions. He is quite simple, genuine and composed. You are really a great person and I know you

will continue to woo people with your knowledge and intelligence. Stay in touch and all the best for future :)...Tushar Gupta

There are so many testimonials here and from so many people who (on the face of it) seem to know you so much better. I wish I had that chance to get to know you better, maybe some fin knowledge would have sunk through. Too bad I’m too impatient to stick around after meals for chitchat.

And that I suck at FIFA. I think the only common ground we have is that we both love pastries :P I used to see you coming over to help other people out with fin subjects. You even helped write SOP’s for Rahul bhai. Yaar log tujhe ‘chhota’ bolte honge par tu dil ka bahut bada hai! Please remember us chhote log when you do make it big :)...ANOORAG BISWAS

RWAL

A AGA ADITY

surely a snob :P but ur hardwork and skills are realy appreciable...:) one of my first few friends on campus...gud luck...have a great life ahead....

AKHIL DATTANA I honestly don’t know how you managed to scare the Debsoc juniors that much, but in the end, even they realised the truth - you’re harmless! We had a lot of fun over the last couple of years and I think Debsoc pulled of some kickass events thanks to you ensuring that everything was in place. Here’s to a great life in consulting! Don’t scare your clients there as well :P Cheers! ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

You are one weirdo :D The weirdo who loves to drive. :P I have spent many a good moments with you :D. The high point being our internship where we bonded the most I guess :). Alcoves, Truffles, Banerghatta, ITC, HOP.. The time I spent with you was indeed great :D. Hell, I owe you for getting me into stock market :P. I am not joking If I say I owe half the things I bought in second years to you :D Haha.

Professionally, I really admire the way you commit yourself to things.

You are choosy, YES, but the things you really want to do I have not seen a single person do so much hardwork without thinking about rewards or recognition at IIM Indore. The journey from not being allowed to call your mom “aunty” to you calling my Bhabhi “Bhabhi” was indeed a special one :D. You definitely would succeed in career with the amount of efforts you put in :). I really hope you stay in touch :) (P.S.: this is me being selfish. :P Abhi bohot products order karne hai Sony se :D)....Ishan Rishabh Kansal

One of the most hard working people I’ve ever known, and you don’t

even do it for any sort of recognition. There’s a lot of dedication, perseverance and positivism hidden behind that facade of snobbery and hostility.

Was quite an experience working with you in whatever little that we did together. IIM Indore is going to miss someone like you next year. I hope you go on and achieve great things in life....KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Gadget freak but little technically retarded as you have a smartphone and hardly use smart apps. Lot of elements about you are appreciable. People think that you do things for not getting a recognition but ultimately you want to have the recognition of being a “Hero” You taught me how to define abstract things :p and sermonised me like hell. Your baby Debsoc will be well taken care of.Don’t Worry! “Aditya senior” May god bless you and May you achieve whatever you desire. Take care of your consulting clients. Remember the philosphical and psychological angle. I will always know and remember you as someone who is a bit “cuckoo”....BARLEEN KAUR Bold and upfront...i envy you for those qualities at times. Fellow BITSian met him for the first time during JPC...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU Aditya saab, you are one of the most eccentric people I have met on campus and itâ??s a fact that you enjoy being known as the bad-ass. At least, you give us that impression. Thanks to your CP, Iâ??ve never had the luxury (or a blessing ? ) of sleeping peacefully during the 1st year classes.; One of the perils of being your neighbour in class. Not a class goes by without your CP and boy, your voice is definitely not sleep-inducing :P. I still have to avenge that......You always have these great ideas for which you strive really hard in order to implement them. That truly is inspiring. The best part about you is that you take up initiatives for the pure joy of it and not for any incentive. Thatâ??s something which is quite rare among the folks here at IIM. One of the most hardworking persons I have ever met and your dedication for TM puts mine to shame. I have always admired you for that, broYou are one hell of a perfectionist too and itâ??s another virtue worth learning from you. All in all, working with you had always been fun and challenging. All your gyan sessions on life and other things were quite interesting and Iâ??d dare say they were pretty helpful. I wish you all the best for your endeavours and hope theyâ??d achieve fruition. ........ B...

ANUSHA BEESETTI I admire you for the amount of effort that you put for TM club. And quite

honestly I didn’t think your halloween idea would turn out to be so great, till it happened to be so. It was a pleasure working with you.

Wish you all the best in life. Keep in touch....RASHMI RANJAN KAR

Full of yourself!!! Iâ??ve always thought the same and still do. Lol. On a more serious note, someone who came here to learn and not for a job. The kind of effort you have put in trying to make the most of this course is admirable. Someone who will be late to an exam but never late for class speaks volumes about what is more important to you. To describe you in 3 words: â??The Nawab from Lucknowâ??. Keep up your spirit and keep in touch....SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Talk to him on fone and you will think that a person as heavy as Great khali is talking but his appearance is just as normal as any of us, only the thing is he carries a tonne of weight in his voice with an accent :D. One of the best orators I have seen, he can speak on any topic anytime and with full of quality. Helpful, responsible and very disciplined and a maniac of attending extra classes :D. The only person I can say that whose room is cleaner that mine. Wish you a very happy n successful future, baaki to tum aadhe kanpuriya ho hi. If possible we will meet in Kanpur some time in future. â?º...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

You do deserve a kick in the whatever.. Infuriating! But anyways I guess this forum demands a few good things to be written.. hard but anyways.. Hardworking, dedicated, talented and a “tinge” of tameez..

One everlasting thought: What the hell is wrong with this guy! The interaction could have been much better if not for that facade of yours..

Stop being so full of yourself and toughening up so much.. Its not that bad to be normal :-P Stop hating Delhiites so much, they are not that bad.. And yeah stop stealing peoples’ phones.. or at least fix them in the real sense of it.. :-P Take care.. Best wishes.. May u achieve all u wish for :) ...ADITI AGGARWAL

What ever it is you are, weird, spooky and a little pissing off! A snob, and truly a pain! Yet you have some stupid thing in you, that makes you it a little difficult to ignore you! My fellow toastmaster! And no matter how annoying, Aditya, you were one individual I truly enjoyed fighting with! ;) Never knew even arguments were fun until you came along!

Cheers man, for that gyaan in life! And ya, very much the same kiddo you always call me to be! ;)...Nivetha

My God! Never met a more self-assured bloke than you Aditya! But haan you are so gyaani that it is almost nice listening to you and learning! You were a great company during HOP when you were not sun-bathing, what with the tasks and you patiently clicking our pictures that we never say again! :D You are extremely dedicated and a go-getter. You have made newer things possible for this institute, more than anybody else here. It was out of your sense of achievement that you have made us a little hardworking too. It was great knowing you! ATB:)...MONAMI BAGCHI

“He came, he saw, He conquered”, the words used for Julius Caesar may be apt to describe Aditya. In a collective society like ours, individuals like Aditya come along once in a while, and when they do-people take notice.

You love him, you hate him, but you can’t ignore him. This chap polarizes opinion like no other, but never buzzes from his own terms. An excellent orator, a splendid go-getter, a leader of men(the ones who are too scared to say no :P), a wannabe driver, a multi cultural kid-Aditya’s life comes in a myriad of hues. CP hogging with him has been one of my most entertaining in-class moments, and despite his snobbish self, I’ve learnt a lot from him. This denizen from the Nawab’s country wdefinitely ants to rule the world. But while you’re at it, have mercy on we mortals :P...APAL

I admired you for your eloquence in JPC pre-process. You have an inquisitive mind and your level of participation in the class is very impressive.

Undoubtedly these qualities are going to do wonders to your career - Bas Baba Bhat Pratik Sanjay Ki Kripa bani rahe ! :D All the very best. Stay in touch ! :) :) :)...AYUSH AGARWAL

Ullu k pathe..bot bada kamina hai tu but you are one of the best persons I have ever met, bus thoda attitude kam maara kar.. I know you are a natural showoff.. :P.. You are entering the corporate for the first time just like me and I wish you all the very best for your future and boss par atti mat jhadio.. :) ...SIDHANT SACHDEVA

This guy is one of a kind....if someone has got every penny of the 15 lakhs worth at IIM-Indore, it is Aditya. His commitment to his work is unparalleled....The guy who attends classes just for the sake of knowledge and nothing else...Eloquent speaker, has an unwavering attention span....He is the harmless guy who suddenly turns dangerous at birthdays...almost killed me :P Wish you all the success in life, am sure you would do very well for yourself :)...RUDRASHIS ROY

You are a child at heart! You have your idiosyncrasies & bouts of eccentricity..but yes, kudos to your commitment & dedication towards work! And of course, your oratory skills-which can influence every authority (though not the students :P) of Planet I! Have a wonderful life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Ladka heera hai bai heera .. ek number show-off hai .. . (Heera bhi to show-off hi hota.. No real value .. ) Always keeps his laptop with him jaise Bn dollar deals k ra ho.. Always keeps laptop open in class jaise microsoft ka CEO .. Facial aisa bnayega jaise Dubai ka don ho (Although he tries to mimic and follow me on this :P ) Only guy on campus who would have completed nearly 80 credits when requirement was only 60.. matlab ek dam paisa wasool 15 lac.. Very hard working its obvious I guess now.. Lazy ek number.. all assignment meetings exclusively in his room.. He will never move his a** .. . Aur room kya ladki ki tarah sja ke rakhta hai .. .Aur assignment shuru hota ane ek ghante baad.. Ek ghante tak pure bakar on topics like politics, economics, social media, AAP and what not.. Dude really enjoyed those assignments with you, Ayush and Bhat (:P :P).. . Wish you all the bets man and keep enjoying.. Stay in touch!!...ASHWANI KANSAL

Hey Aditya! You are definitely the most hardworking senior I have ever come across. The amount of drive and initiative you possess is literally maddening. Ever since I met you, I have looked up to you. Despite having that “I mean business” feel, there have been moments where I truly felt that whole old-school, polite and extremely gentlemanly nature of yours. Your dedication and commitment towards Toastmasters was truly insane. Not to forget, you are probably the only person on campus who I would credit with having decorated and maintained his room better than mine ;) I would wish you all the happiness and success in life, but I know that u would anyhow never settle for anything less than the best and u truly deserve it! Hope to stay in touch :)...

ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

Aditya Senior. As far as our chemistry goes, we might not have clicked as well as the other Debsoc members. My impression of you has undergone a drastic change in the past six months. From a overly controlling “boss” with eccentric ideas and tastes, to an extremely hard working and focused person who believes in his goals and has great ideas about his purpose in life. I crave for my share of advice and philosophy of life :P May God grant all what you desire. Best wishes, until

we meet next.....GANGAR MITESH LAXMICHAND

Hey Aditya, The Bruce Wayne of the campus... your room kinda resembles the ‘Applied sciences’ shed with a whack-load of gadgets and boards and FBI-esque info-collages. There are ways of doing things and there are WAYS of doing things... you certainly have the methodical and rigorous approach in whatever you do. Been a fantastic experience associated with you through toastmasters and having those eccentric-moments of discussion pertaining to what all could be done with TM sessions. One of the naturally talented dry-humor specialists, keep up the cheers mate!! ...DEBOPRIO DUTTA You should have been Christopher Nolan in the movie “The prestige” but somehow got transported to Planet-I..hope to see you as a magician in Indian business!!!...EETI SANTOSH

My first memory of yours is of the batch meet in which you convinced a lot of us to join Toastmasters so easily. Be it your eloquence, dedication, hard work or that composed voice and demeanor which makes you stand out of the crowd. One of the reasons why I am glad to be a part of Debsoc is because I got a chance to interact with you and learn so much from you about college, studies, co-curricular stuff and above all Life. You are one of those people who never do things for praise and so much loyal to the institute that can make one fall in love with IIM Indore. Bdw you are known as â??The Gentlemanâ?? among the PGP 1 girls:-P you have been a great mentor and I wish I was smarter to extract more. Waise,I am scared of you till date:-P Thank you so much for the support all this while especially during Summers. I have learnt a lot from you and will seek your advice in times to come. Just a small request- please be a little more active on social media. Donâ??t know why you are so averse to putting normal pictures of yours:-P I will remember you as a person who was a milder reflection of himself- all that is beyond the tough shell is a very caring and helpful soul.

Please stay in touch. Have lots of trouble in store for you even after you flee away from the campus:-P You will rock wherever you go. Wish u all the very best for future. May you achieve all that you ever desired :-) you will be missed a lot. ...ANKITA What a showoff you are man...I still remember the lines that I told you, “You are arrogant”...Despite all these, one thing is commendable about you is that you strive to get wat you want for...remember the post marathon melo-drama...:P Get over that hand sanitizer for heaven’s sake...am

sure you must be the using one right nw... :P enough said...you are one of the best mates i had in iim and would cherish the moments (esp those spent bullying sumit) for the rest of my life...*cheers* ...ANIL KUMAR JALLY The ADITYA AGARWAL “NRI” and you behave like one. We have been neighbors for whole of our stay here and I have fought so much with you even more with all the other students put together. Its not easy to understand you (m still trying). You are arrogant, choosy, hard from outside but somewhere deep you have a tender heart, helping nature.

We have shared a lot in last two years be it JAM revamp plan, Indore marathon, your Dengue drama, endless assignments, long talks that went for almost whole nights and lot more. But one thing is sure you are a real manager. Hard working, 100% sure of your plans and strategies before hand. I have learnt a lot and lot from you. Attending 72 credits, doing all the assignments by yourself, approaching people in a right manner. One thing is sure dude you can do whatever comes to your mind. You never care for any credit to your name, you work so honestly and passionately that its hard to stop you from doing anything. Most of the thing which I thought would be impossible were done by you so easily. A little show off and try to be center of attraction but i think you deserve it. You can go as far and as big your dreams are, I know no one can stop you from doing anything. We will always remain good friends. I know whom to call when I want to draft a mail. :P All the best for your future bro ...SUMIT SWARNKAR

A cool and stylish leader is what I think of and will remember Aditya as.

He is been a helpful and inspirational friend for me. He does things so well and in a way in which only he can do.. Very systematic and creative, Aditya has the gift og gab and intellect and surely masters the art of using both of them well.. I will miss Aditya during Toastmasters session in the future; I hope we can maintain the interest levels at least as well as he does/did. Be bold, be inquisitive and bring about something good and significant - is the indirect message and inspiration I got from Aditya. My best wishes to Aditya for his career and life, beyond IIM I :) We will surely keep in touch ......NILANJAN GANESH MOHAN

Ohhhkkk... i see you got too many testimonials... great job ( on asking people :P ) Ohk jokes apart.. i think i see him as a CEO of a big shot company in next 15-20 years... you got that thing in you bro.... he comes up with such a out of the world ideas that one could never

think of... great orator and an honest person... keep mentoring (me :P )and keep learning, sky is the limit for you... learnt a lot of things from you.... marathon wouldn’t have been such a success with you being there... in fact you were marathon :) thanks for being there:) and yeah lastly work on your self obsession a bit :P...SUMIT VERMA

Oh! He speaks well -> He speaks too much -> Brilliant point -> Whata-dedication -> Seriously, this class also -> Give yourself a rest -> The Institute needs you, stay for another year! Right from your endless CPs in classes to our awesome MWR team to your present day ventures, it has been an absolute pleasure knowing you and knowing your thoughts.

I did respect you in the first year too for all your creative ideas and the way you spoke but the second year has been completely defining. I am not sure whether I find you crazy, a nerd or a genius but I am sure that you wouldnâ??t care. Importantly, the way you have envisioned certain things for the E-Cell, for DebSoc and most importantly for the institute, the way you always had the courage to stand for what you felt was right is simply amazing. All the best â?? I am sure you would be doing various â??tehelkasâ?? wherever you go but do not change yourself! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI THE DUDE....I interacted with you during SAPM and HOP ...an interesting personality and it was fun talking to you .... the GSC viva was a great experience...A good speaker...but speak a bit less.....:P....Greater heights to achieve mate.....All the Best...ANSHU KUMAR

NAWAB!!! The most irritating person, is how everyone describes you..

And I am forced to agree with them :P. I truly admire the way you take up any initiative with dedication, be it the toilets in the block, the defunct DebSoc, or JAM. Your neatness OCD drives me crazy most often, since you impose it on the visitors as well, but then, I did try to avoid coming to your room in second year, in spite of repeated invitations :P. On a serious note, looking forward to keeping in touch, though if you ever try to set someone on fire, I will always be the one to put it out with whatever means necessary!!!...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

I used to think I could kill with my sarcasm. But then I met you. I loved working with you during the computer literacy programme and I thought we made a pretty good team :) You’re one person here on campus who’s not out for his ownself. I see you doing so many things just out of your sense of responsibility and ownership for this place and I really respect

you for that. You’re going to take the world head-on! Here’s wishing you all the luck!...ANKITA SATIJA

I will refrain from using any dirty words as I donâ??t want him to use the sanitizer here. He is one of the most balanced persons I have come across till now. The way he solves all the difficult problems so easily and so systematically has always amused me. He is very resourceful and he knows how to get the work done. I could not talk to him much in the first year, in spite of being together at RIP, because of him being such a snob, or at least pretending to be one, else we could have had many more trips to 26 hills and Rudyâ??s. I will always remember the endless talks that I have had with him on a range of topics, which has left a lasting impression on me, or at least I make him believe that ;) Itâ??s very hard to beat him in any argument, but when it comes to girls, he still has a long way to go. Needless to say that his hardwork and dedication will fetch him all the success in life and I wish him all the best for that! Iâ??m sure we will be in touch!...AJITESH MEHTA

“Mr. Hygienic”.. A great speaker wid great leadership skills.. v knw ur thr, n v knw v r safe! the way u speak, the way u negotiate! u made our ‘no work’ seem like ‘so much work’.. such a saviour..! the industry visits wud hv been impossible widout u.. truly a one-man army..m glad to hv met u and once sm1 meets u, cn surely never forget u! ur destined to reach great heights!n once u reach dem, i ll definitely tell othrs ke “yeh banda toh mere saath hi padhta tha”!! All the vry best!!...

DARSHITA DOSHI Aditya, unarguably you’re the most irritating person I have ever across in my life. All the attitude you throw around and that little cheer that you draw by taking people’s case just makes me go crazy. Dude, you just drive me nuts with your silliest of comments and arguments. And it used to give me a tremendous kick taking your case back again.

Perhaps that is why people call us Tom & Jerry. But I must say that besides all this crappy habit of yours, you’re a nice person to hang around with, till the time you don’t open your mouth, let alone singing. :P. That ‘Haaye Mera Dil’ was absolutely hilarious. I hate to admit this, but I’ve always admired your courageous nature, your fearless attitude towards the system..You are one person who won’t accept things lying down..I can’t think of anyone else who can needle PGPO, Placecom or even the director all at the same time. Your ‘no hand-wash in mess’ complaint was by far the dumbest of all, but you had the guts to say it.

I think we had spent great time together as a part of study group and the time spent in your room (aka Red Light Room :P) is something I am going to cherish forever. And now that your India RIP is coming to an end (you belong to Dubai, remember?), I hope we mortals were able to put some sense into you. For you only I will never say, ‘Stay like this forever’â?¦for God’s sake please change thoda sa, if not much. Wish you all the best for your career and life. Do stay in touch! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Such a lives under a rock kinda character. I only got to know of your existence after Ashwamedha. Lol. But on a serious note, learn to use your phone, your humility and your immense talent a bit more. Glad to have known you for whatever little time, you can be quite a chill person occasionally when you let your haughtiness down. Have a great career and life ahead and stay in touch! :)...MEHAK SAHNEY

Aditya!!! you’ve irritated me like no one else.. taken my case again and again.. and brought me close to tears and ripping my hair apart (and even yours!).. but i’ve still managed to enjoy being friends with you :-) my first memory of you is our acadcom interview when u totally impressed me with your baritone :-P and then..it all just followed with the ‘i’ll get a tattoo of u on my hand’ joke.. :-D thanks for introducing me to some great brands in the world! ;-) i genuinely feel you are one person who has truly evolved during this 2 year stay at IIM Indore.. i can’t help getting awed by your transition from being “just a bully” to “a bully who is also serious about studying and genuinely making a difference to IIM Indore”.. hats off to your exponentially increasing dedication even in second year and your efforts to bring about a positive change to this place.. one thing which we all (atleast I should) should learn from u is to pursue what we feel is right without bothering about how others perceive it.. i do get amused by your “similar to OCD behaviour” but i guess no one is born perfect :-P.. i truly think u’ll go a long way in life.. all the very best for all your future endeavours! keep smiling and stay in touch :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Yay.the name came from Product A(Yay)..thankfully you believed that I can give a creative name! You are one of my first few friends at campus and someone who has taught me life ke lessons more than anyone else. I agree with Singhal, that you are one of the most irritating soul we have come across with, but keeping that aside you are a nice person. You taught me how people are, and how this place isn’t like srcc.I think out of all the people here, you are one who genuinely knows me in and out.

You’ve tolerated my rona dhona.Not many here understand your jokes

and actions, but Im happy that I do.Yes you did teach me to text in English!and you have helped a lot before quizzes and end terms. I wont ever forget your gol hands and big handwriting. We have shared some amazing time together and I will miss that after IIM. Hope that the purpose for which you came here will get fulfilled partly atleast.

Most found in Acad Block these days, I think you are one of those who would go out of the way to change things. Enjoy in Chennai southie :P All the best for your future :) ...PALAK MAHANOT

Aditya! The person who is one of the most unique people on campus, at times unique in ways that cross swords with others :D Despite the apparent irritating self he portrays he is quite a emotional guy, who is always ready to help a friend in need :) Under that mask of being the jackass he is at times, i’m sure he means no harm to anyone. A very hardworking individual, Adity has an amazing perseverance in anything he puts his mind on. Given the interest he takes in fixing the various issues that plagues our institute, a political career is what would suit him the best :D Seriously consider this career path dude! All the very best for the life ahead and do keep in touch!...ESHWAR M S

I have never seen a guy more organized, sophisticated, clean like you :p The first thing that comes to mind when I think of you is your cleaning kit (sanitizer and tissue napkins) :p Initially I thought you would be tough to live with during RIP..but you turned out to be the most funloving and adventurous who made us ride on tractor.everyone loved that ride :D I always wonder how can you be so keen to get gyaan that you sit in each and every class..and your arguments..definitely not many people can beat you..you have a really distinct personality which sets you apart from my other ordinary friends :p always keep in touch and I wish to travel someday in train without ticket with you :D Good luck for future endeavours :)...SONAKSHI SAINI

Aditya - it was great working with you at TM last year. Pity I couldn’t be part of the wonderful work you have done there this year as well.

The many variations and initiatives to include as many people as possible (first club to include IPM) have been wonderful. At Debsoc, your GD sessions have made a difference for both summers and finals for so many people. You are definitely among the most competent communicators (CC) :) in that TM group and I will remember how your random topics always put new speakers on the spot. Good luck with life ahead. Keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

Aditya, one can listen to you endlessly..;) The way you speak, plus your awesome voice made the TM sessions all the more interesting...Your ideas about making the most of this time will keep motivating us..and your dedication towards your work is an inspiration for all..:) Yours is one of the most beautiful rooms on this campus..!! ;) Hope to see you sometime in future..Wish you all the very best!! :)...VINEETA JHA

Agarwal! You and me have too much in common, to the point that it had started to get creepy :S. The late night discussions on topics ranging from IPL to the administration at IIM I were memorable. Punjabi Kitchen, Dominos with 25 packets of oregano!, making sandwiches at home (thanks for teaching me btw :p), and watching south park with every meal was amazing. And how can I forget Kirti! I miss that dude :D!! Best of luck for your future and stay in touch. Cheers!...SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI

I guess we really got to know each other during the long grind back during HOP... We had some interesting conversations there! And yeah, metal >>>> trance/house/whatchacallit :P :D I think we’re in for some interesting times after coll! So, see you there......Avinash Chidambar

Aditya!! The dude of the batch :D..thinking of him brings me a funny smile.The way he enters in the class waving at the crowd who would applaud for him for being late :D. The very confident CPs that he would contribute with an additional one liners before or after. His chill attitude and poora paisa wasool kar ke hi jayenge(has attended some 20 sessions extra- who does that? :P) makes him so unique. His passion for work let it be inspecting JAMâ??s renovation ;) to preparing and participating in the class and more is amazing. Canâ??t stop laughing when thinking of you.. Carry on the spirit dude u ll definitely rock the worldâ?¦ ATB for your future endeavours :)...SUMITA KERKETTA

hey aditya! thanks for all the advice over the past few months. I’m glad I met you and hope to always stay in touch. If there was just one senior I had to choose who i wished was with me in PGP 1, it would without a doubt be you... Enjoy your career ahead as i know only you can ...SIDDHARTH MODI

heyieee aditya Senior( sorry for giving you this name but it sounds pretty cool:p) I am so glad i joined debsoc....wouldnt have met you otherwise... no doubt you are the biggest snob i have evr come across but you are pretty nice and caring.. thankyou for all the suggesstions u gave me..be it

academics or friends-related...some of which were feasible and some were not...:Pi’m sure you shall get whatever u dream of...wont say keep in touch bcoz i shall definitely keep in touch with you..cheers.. have a good life!!:) ...SHALVI SARUPARIA

A L ROH A W R AGA JENDRA RA

One of my neighbours for 2 years, Rohan is very dear friend who was always there for helping. One of the youngest of the batch (many still consider you as someone having exp), he had the maturity level of that of people who always think big in life. Always planned on starting something of his own ( I am sure you will do one day) ! Used to bring awesome Gujarati snacks from Gandhidham :) Then we had our share of fun during exchange where you were the planner of al the trips, Likes to be well informed before taking any decision in life.( typical marwari/ businessman dimaag) :P Extremely intelligent but loves procrastinating. Best part of him is he lives his life his own way! People like you are not easy to find! cheers :)...RAHUL YADAV

It has been a privilege to have had the chance to converse with Rohan. His ken on a vast range of topics is commendable and he has a mind that is keen and which induces a sense of awe in me. I hope he fulfills his true potential and I wish him the best in his future endeavors. ...SYED ERAJ HASSAN

Rohan ji.. my entire first year was made interesting by sitting next to you in the class.. does’nt come across as a very friendly person until you start interacting with him.. remember how you used to make random CP’s in class by seeing the weightage in course outline.. you never pay attention to what’s going on in class and yet you to manage to score brilliant grades. Extremely logical and intelligent person.. often i wonder how come without any work ex you show a lot of maturity in thinking and in your actions.. I honestly feel that you will become a successful entrepreneur one day.. All the best for your future endeavors dude :) :) Stay in touch :)...SIMPSON SELWYN

My teammate for competitions but more importantly a true friend. Every conversation with you is either greatly inspiring or highest level of snafu ( hindi mein nahi likh sakte na meaning). I truly admire you for the effort you put in the fest. It has been a great journey with you and I am sure to continue the same in future. Keep pushing your limits :)...Parag Jain

Rohan is a very relaxed, laid back and a hard working guy. He has a very deep thought process and is filled with ideas; he knows the knack of things. Entrepreneurial by nature and very proactive, he would go a long way. Will definitely see you someday leading your own grown business.

Wish you all the best. Keep in touch! :) ...PARAG PODDAR

I first met Rohan when we were hanging out (read: drinking) with common friends and by the end of the first year and numerous outings we had become best of the friends. What make Rohan stand apart are his humility and his willingness to go the extra mile for his friends. He, along with his close-knitted team, has been the heart and soul of Mridang, working tirelessly and selflessly when things didnâ??t seem to be going their way. In spite of having so much work, we never miss a chance to catch up with each other. Yahan machaya hai, Mumbai mein bhi machayenge! Milte hain. ...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

One of the few people who are really chilled out in life! This guy drinks too much.. almost every day! :P Worked really hard and made Mridang a success..much better than last year! Wish him all the best for the future!! ...NITIN VERMA One of the few qualms of my IIM life is that I didn’t get to know you earlier.

Though both of us knew of each other’s existence, we united only in the 6th term towards a common cause-Mridang. My super high ego doesn’t allow me to praise others easily (:P) but I must say that you’re an amazing person-both on personal and professional front. In these last 2 weeks, I have come to admire your coolness, jugaad, ability to handle problems, soak in pressure, all the same time maintaining the serene smile. It was awesome working with you and I hope I get to bond with you sometime soon in the future :)...APAL The first PGP groupmate and i just can’t forget the dedication we showed in the entire 1st term. One of the most memorable group in PGP though the grades had a different story :P. You are one of the most chilled out dudes in IIM I and your customary coffee in night was always admired by

us. Baki to koi tension hai hi nahi, hopefully aap bhi sath chal rhe ho to itni jaldi tumhara peecha hum nahin chod rhe...ATB for the future, bas ek request, thoda or smile kr lia kr yar :P :)...HARSH RAJ

Rohan is very casual and chill type of guy. However when assigned a task he can outperform anyone. The way he handled Mridang was quite amazing, making Mridang more enjoyable than previous years.

He is very practical and mature guy and know how to handle situations and how to get along with every member of the team. His leadership skills were quite clear during RIP. I really enjoyed that trip. I know he would someday make a great businessman and for that I wish him all the luck in the worldâ?¦do keep in touch....ABHIKET GAURAV

Special Rohan! Landed straight from Gandhidham next to my seat.

And boy, the chap his worth his salt. His love for white tells how peaceful his persona is. Sleeping with woofers on is a trait that no has ever managed better than you. A skilful geek with an amazing eye for photography. A man of steel when it comes to beating the cold hands down. With you around, fun and sincerity has been perennial. To gallons of coffee! Cheers! ...Rishabh Trivedi

Rohan..mere bhai..mere sher..mere cheetay. Ye ekdum paas ka jo hona, usko testimonial likhna bohot hi difficult hai. 2 saal se mera neighbour hai â?? kya nahi kiya hai, kya nahi dekha hai. Tu fresher nahi hai ye muje second term me samjha, kyuki your clarity of thought, your confidence and the way you build up a convincing story â?? brilliant hai bhai. Bohot kamm log hai, who can play all these roles together. RMS ka dopahar ka class tha, so drunk - we could not see the prof from last bench, you remember! Apan ne waise bohot lambe chowde discussions kiye hai, bohot dimaag chaata hai ek dusre ka..bohot planning wagera ki hai â?? dent in the universe toh banana hi hai. I know both of us wonâ??t be complacent with our day jobs. Cheers to a lifelong friendship!...Abhish Nair

A guy whom I got to know in term 2 and the bond between us has been growing stronger ever since. Committed to life with all your energies put in together in whichever activity you undertake, you make fans along because of your tireless and selfless attitude. You are one of the guys I enjoy drinking with â?? specially our endless philosophy sessions about life have been the best that happened to me. On a more serious note learning from you has been very less because

there was so much to learn from you that I am confused even today ki kya seekhun and itna saara seekhe nahi paunga. Please treat the previous statement as coming straight from heart. Truly you are a gem of a person with whom I have the enjoyed the most talking to. Best part is your humbleness, simplicity and of course unparalled dedication for your parents, virtues all rarely found, and I deeply admire them. Wishing you a brightest luck for future. It goes without saying â?? we will have many more deep thought involving sessions â?? stay in touch !...PRATEEK JAIN

I dont think that you remember the first time we met in campus. Let me remind you it was the registration day when you were going to medical center and we had a small chat also. I have known you through Mridang only and I can say that you are truly an amazing person. You can convince people with your arguments, you always provide valuable suggestions, and you know how to get work done from others. You have all the traits to become highly successful in life. Now coming to personal life. It is always fun to hang out with you. I am looking forward to more booze parties with you ;). All the best for your future endeavors and stay in touch :)...Tushar Gupta A big kudos for working so hard for Mridang and making it such a big success. The fact that you continued to work for Mridang w/o the worry of a POR or anything like that speaks volume about your work ethic. It was always fun hanging out with you, be it Wien or India. Hope we remain in touch and wish you good luck!...ARCHIT JAIN

Rohan, ekdum sincere bandha hai in working on stuff that is important.. obviously assignments do not fall under that criteria as I observed in Vienna. I wish we had met before exchange but I guess it was the best way to meet and had lots of fun, so many memories in those 3 months (klaabs).

You are going to make it much bigger in life-pretty sure of that because of the seriousness with which you talk about the dreams that you want to fulfill. Tab jab badi party karega toh bulaaiyo zaroor..love ur dubai stories :p I am glad that we have been bumping into each other after coming back and hope that stays the case even outside campus and we keep in touch :) All the best!...KUSHAL JAJOO Rohan bhaiya ... kapdon ki tarah aap specialization badalte hain .... khaate kuch hain nahin coffee par kaise zinda rehte hain ... kai baatein inke baare mein logon ko hairan kar deti hain ... Magar we met during bakra and probably u were the one of the 1st friends I made in campus. Thode din padhai

ka zor raha aapke kamre mein magar uske baad sirf BC ki hai hum logon ne... Param Bakar kara lo inse ...(RIP leader)... kabhi bhi kahin bhi Hope to be good friends forever .... machate raho.... all the best....RAVI MAHESHWARI The skinniest guy in our block, Rohan is one of the friendliest persons i’ve seen around. His level of patience is something i admire! The calm composure with which he handled his responsibility at Mridang was admirable. The effort he and the core Mridang team put in despite the various odds shows the commitment he places in anything that he takes responsibility for. All the best for your career ahead! Have an amazing life ahead :)...ESHWAR M S

Rohan - Entire first year, he was cribbing about being stuck in the bermuda triangle (mayank simpoo and me). A brilliant mind, easy to talk, down to earth guy. He is so modest and humble it makes me angry at times. He is someone I would like to sit have coffee and long conversations with. All the best dude. Luv :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

WAS

BIS ORAG

ANO

One of the first people I met during my stay at IIM Indore. Still remember walking into NC3 and seeing this lad sitting at the corner of the central section in the last row. Figured out we are going to be benchmates for the whole year. A fellow Bengali and someone with whom I definitely shared some of the most cheerful memories on campus. Our last bench gossip and giggles and your creative sketches on a piece of paper and his fantasy questions to me were clearly what kept me going despite the unrelenting boredom of classes. Only a bewildered Chitresh was a witness to our shenanigans. Being in the same hostel block meant that we interacted more outside the class. Our drinking sessions(Classic Bar, Red Dragon, Gokul’s) and the attendant conversations would probably leave a bystander in absolute shock and horror. At a more aesthetic level, I think we shared the same wavelength when it comes to movies and books. Your carefree attitude is something I have always liked. Just be yourself and hope you have a great career ahead. May all your dreams come true. Hope to have more fun and frolic with you in Mumbai when we meet. Have a great life ahead. Cheers!!!!!!...SAYAN BAGCHI

Noor! You are one studious, crazy, smart fellow who can crack up anyone with PJs and of course a brilliant writer :)..I am sure you have an amazing career and fun filled life ahead of you :) All the best!...ROHINI H

First things first, I am writing this for the second time because this fucker deleted it the first time around, trying to explore what the cross sign in the right of the comment means.So, don’t expect this to be all mushy mushy this time around :P. You, The ruthless and emotionless beast, as we know you, are one of the smartest guys that one can ever

come across. One of my very few Bong friends because at heart he is not a bong ;) (We love being bongs only for the food and nothing else). I know your preference for catering to the mass market segment and your love for workshops and 2 credit courses, but its high time you switch to the premium segment and a 4 credit course( Only 3 people will get this joke) :P. Your scenarios will be an everlasting memory. The one dialogue I still remember is when I had commented that 10% of the campus must be making love every night( based on the number of couples). And your innocent reply: 10 percent means 45 out of 450, and that implies someone is having a threesome :P ;) On a serious note, your command and grasp over the English language will make an average journalist look like a 10 year old. You will definitely have an amazing life ahead. Have fun.

Cheers!!...ARINDAM PAUL I first saw Anoorag during a Phlips GD which we were both supposed to be tanking. At the time, I didn’t know that he was tanking it and I remember thinking to myself that this guy is a complete idiot. When we walked outside, he told me that he had gotten into HUL! However, I really got to know Anoorag during our internship. Probably the most creative person in IIM Indore, having a conversation with Anoorag is an exercise in expecting the unexpected. You never know which way the conversation will turn next. Wait, scratch that. The conversation will inevitably turn towards sex and some of his extremely innovative thoughts on the subject. His ridiculous “What would you choose..” scenarios would leave his roommate red-faced, and me grappling for some smartass reply. But Anoorag’s areas of expertise extend beyond the world of erotica. He has impeccable taste in movies and books. He is one of the few people in IIM Indore, you can actually discuss these things with. Honestly, with his creativity, wit and intelligence, I cannot think of a person better suited to a career in Marketing. I hope you do well in life!...SIDDHARTH JAIN

The beast! Excellent writing skills!! Could have easily become a journalist. Great taste in Hollywood classics and songs! :) Always used to come in my room for playing Stick Cricket!! :) 2 years have passed by and still would be knowing maximum 50 people of the batch speak volumes of how much he loves to hang around. Hamesha apne kaam se matlab rakhne wala.. :P One piece of advice, you tend to press the panic button very soon, this was evident during the final placements. but I guess you would definitely overcome this once you gain some experience in corporate world. :) :) On a lighter note, still remember the day when you got a fat chic for a lap dance in Hamburg and you were cribbing over it for the

whole time :P :P The Amsterdam trip was fun with my never ending joke! :P :) (I’m sure only You and Nagdev will get this ) :P Always will get a new perspective in any topic whatsoever you discuss with this guy. You were always very clear in what you wanted from this institute, which is rare to find. Try to keep in touch ..cheers..!! ...RAHUL YADAV

The self proclaimed Adonis aka the beast .. it would be cliched to call people “unique” in their testimonial but cliches are cliches for a reason. You are definitely unique. The conversations i have with you i know i cant have with anyone else (i dont hope to either :P )They have maintained the same level of bizarre be it in classes(CSR :P ) RD or during my visits to your wing. Ofcourse as everyone has already mentioned your lit skills are madness, one of the most well read person on campus (Hope to have discworld conversations with you soon) . No point saying goodbye colleague , will be looking to create some good memories in mumbai sans the extra terrestrial of course :) ...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI

As fate would have it, I got the chance to talk to Anoorag in the last term.

I sincerely wish I had had the chance to much earlier. He has the ability to go into the darkest recesses of your head and rationalize absurdity to a level I have seen no other person do. In that I find that Anoorag has no place in a system like ours that does not cherish the discerning intelligence and genius only a few possess. ...SYED ERAJ HASSAN We boarded the same flight to Indore but landed up in different ‘Temples’ (with a few exceptions :P). The objective of the ‘Pilgrimage’ might have been different throughout but we have shared a camaraderie that I thoroughly enjoyed for the two years. I have been a big fan your brilliant writing skills and the witty remarks you keep throwing at people. One thing people might not know about him or wouldn’t expect from him is his time management skill. Be it any exam/quiz, this guy will finish off everything well before time and annoy you by playing stick cricket sitting right next to you. Some of the moments which I will cherish definitely include the Gokul visits, the last bench bizarre conversations in first year, the frequent sutta drill we follow and the Bartender mix of course. The Interrobang wouldn’t have been possible without you. After our failed attempt at Adapt Durex/Lakme concept this had to happen :P. It was fun being your neighbour man.. (If I could ignore the furniture noises :P). Have fun. Keep in touch. Hope your ‘Credits’ multiply. Cheers!! ...RAHUL NAGDEV

Anooooorag Biswas! You are very smart, incredibly witty and talented in many ‘other’ facets of life. I haven’t seen anyone eating books as fast as you do :-P.It would have been more fun if I had been a part of the Euro trip. All the best for whatever you do in future and pls use some English that poor people like me can understand for writing your blogs :-P ...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL The beast! Brutally honest and a magician with words. Quite a deadly combination, as I’m sure many have realized after receiving testimonials from him! A pretty laid back dude with a brilliantly creative mind. I think you’re going to kick some ass with that candid attitude of yours! Hope you can stay the same..good luck! And stay in touch!...ADHIT S. SHETTY

The Beast! Probably the most everlasting impressions I will have of you revolve around 3 things- Your capacity to eat!! (The only guy to whom I could possibly lose in an eating contest), Your gym talents and disciplined workout schedules :P, and Your uncanny ability to come up with “What would you choose” or “What If” scenarios which were honestly too fun to think about and answer :D A person with impeccable taste in movies and books, one of the few people on campus with whom I can have a decent conversation about comic books, and one of the best Marketing geniuses I have seen. You are incredibly talented (still remember your artistic doodles and sketches during boring lectures) and I know you will utilize that to realize the great potential you have ahead of you. We live just 10kms apart so hoping to stay in touch!! Cheers! :)...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

The poor guy lost to me by 1 vote in Media Com elections (ouch) but never broke sweat over it. His writing skills are top notch and so are his points, whenever he chooses to release them. An ultimate Joker(his jokes are really good), Anoorag can be serious and witty in the same breath.

Wish you the very best for the times ahead, dude! :)...APAL

Beast is one of the smartest guy I know on Planet-I. He is one of the guys who can talk about any given topic. He won’t hold back anything and will express his thoughts without any reservations. You communication skills is one thing I really admire. Have a great time ahead :) ...PANKAJ DNYANDEO KOLTE Beast, I am actually scared of writing anything here. If I write something serious, you will make fun of it and humour is so â??your forteâ??. Frankly, itâ??s very difficult to understand you and what you are up to. However,

I also know that you mean no harm to anyone and in fact are always there to help the people you are close to. Like adhit said, and you probably wonâ??t know because you are not on watsapp, I ll pay to read what you write. You will easily feature among the best speakers on campus and make a lot of sense when you speak. Baaki tereko mil k bolta hoon :) Good luck yaar. Wish you do well....MANISH KUMAR MANU

Onuraag! I’ve never told you this, but after my HUL interview debacle, I was so sour about the whole thingg that when I got to know that you were the Anoorag Biswas made it into HUL, you were mushroom head Biswas in my head for a long time and I generally decided to dislike you :P But after interacting with you, I had no choice but to change my opinion. You are the only person on campus with whom I’ll blindly share any lame joke I come up with or any ‘eye-to-eye’ type video I come across. Your ‘prosthetution’ joke cracks me up till date :P You made me look forward to CB and People lectures, which is an achievement in itself. Oh I can never forget the time in a People class when I randomly asked you guys if you could draw an elephant, and you made this elaborate sketch of two elephants humping. Epic stuff! Every conversation with you is super fun, what with your generous usage of sexual innuendo and our common love for PJs :P I’ve also come to respect you as a person and now believe that you totally deserved that HUL internship. I’m sure you’ll go places with your tremendous marketing acumen. Do stay in touch and I think we should work together on arbit Youtube videos. With our powers combined, sure shot youtube sensation is bound to be created :)...KAVYA AMARNATH

Anurag- It was fabulous to have you as co-intern in summers. You re-defined what ‘chilled’ meant :P Always composed and first one to leave the floor, I really am amazed how efficiently you handled all tasks then! You undoubtedly are super intelligent (courtesy-CRM group) and have a great aptitude for problem solving. Stay in touch and wish you all the luck for your future! :)...Sneha Tyagi

APAL

I don’t know what to say. Really! We have come a long long way. This can not be a coincidence. Both of us left CBS for unknown reasons, went to Symbi, did almost everything together, stayed together, got through IIM Indore, hell we even got the same bakra group, same section, same hostel, competitions won together and what not. Most of our success and good times have come together. It’s like life is continuously telling us that we should hold on to this friendship forever. I can’t write about 1-2 moments here. It’s not possible to bring it down to that less a number considering we are literally together all the time.

We had our share of professional rivalry in early days but I am honestly telling you that in the past few months especially I feel we have evolved into much much better friends. Do stay in touch bro. Always :). I am glad we met. I haven’t ever told you this but while competing with you in small small things I have really learned a lot from you. I admire your memory and your communication skills. Life has got a lot in store for you. I really wish you good luck :) And once again. Stay in touch. And next time you come to Delhi come to my place. I know that’s long overdue now :D...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

Apple apple apple... Aap dude hain! We met at one of those preparatory Career Launcher sessions in Pune. I’ll be honest, my opinions of him weren’t top notch. He seemed a snooty, know-it-all type chap.

Then we ended up here at IIMI, and I have never been more wrong about anyone else my entire life. He is one of the most brilliant chaps I’ve met, and yet absolutely grounded. As part of the Apple-Ishan duo, I need to thank him for saving my ganvaar-engineer-behind several times. Brimming with ideas, it’s a pleasure working with him. He is quirky, and has his own signature style of speech. 2 things about that,

1, I can totally ape it, and 2, it works. The man can talk, and talk well for hours. I still remember the HUL workshop, where you went up on stage and phodoed the whole thing. I was truly awed. Then we worked on the Philips thing, and your dedication, I found to be exemplary. All of this aside, Apple’s a good person at heart. You rarely come across inherently good people and he’s one of them gems. You can walk into his room with anything and expect him to talk sense. Gives one perspective. Success will be yours Apple, you don’t need luck. Stay in touch, baaki main to jaa hi Bihar/Jharkhand raha hoon! Bas meri trains par patthar naa maarein! ;)...PARTH KAPOOR Admiration and Respect...these are the two words that pop up in my head when I think of Apal. Has his unique style of communication but when he talks, you tend to shut up and listen....The most talented guy on campus and perhaps also the nicest person at heart...the insurmountable amount of knowledge he has deserves to be shared...you should really consider an academic career some 15-20 yrs down the line...All the best in life, bro :)...RUDRASHIS ROY Apal.....my darling ;) The guy should be an endorser for Xerox Corp. Actually he deserves better. He has an X TB hard disk in his brain _/\_ (X because the size keeps on increasing). Someone who speaks in a way as if he had been programmed and someone who can help you out with any subject. One of the most “ahem ahem” guys in the campus, he always cursed his luck when it came to mediacom parties. Ab mei kyaa karoo....

Alcohol majboor kar deta hai. Blame everything on alcohol :P (Hope you have understood what I meant by ahem ahem :P). Jokes apart, you have been a great friend whenever I needed you. Good luck at ITC. 18 years from now, hope to see you as CEO of ITC Ltd....MAINAK BHOWMIK

How on earth do you know so much!?@!@# You seem to remember every damn thing you have read, perfectly aligning it with some weird framework the teacher must have been teaching and then giving an answer that makes ‘Mr. Sharma fall off the chair!” You are one of the most brilliant...nay THE most brilliant guys I have met here...and yep the first person I met in Planet-I. From creating an entire trove of topics for our ‘panel-discussion’ in Mediacom to being the Cheese Paratha aficionado at our numerous Alcove dinners.. to proving your Marketing mettle time and again (ITC, HUL...need I say more?) to being an awesome ATLAS player (Yaad hai wo din?) to being a great company pre-HOP and during HOP...you have been a part of some of the best memories that I have

created here! (And part of the best memories of Ashish Sadh, Mohan Kuruvilla, Varsha Jain, Bhavani Shankar and our beloved ex-Diro! ;) ) Reallly hope to meet you again in our job life and you have to be in Mumbai to come to 3WM. Manage that and we have a deal! Stay blessed APPLE!...MONAMI BAGCHI

The walking encyclopedia, as everyone say, he is our Apalu. There is nothing under the sun, which you donâ??t know of and memory to aisi ki Google bhi sharma jaaye. Always ready to help, you go to this guy and he wonâ??t even give a second thought to give you time, no matter how busy he is. Party lover and have a unique dance form. I remember those times when before exams you used to take crash course class for us with all the masti during the padhai. Bhai sahi me, ideas ki to koi kami nhi hai tmhare andar, just put up the problem and you will come up with n number of ideas in no time. Favourite of many profs (we doubt that a couple of them even had a crush on him or may be on his brain :D) and also favourite of us and epitome of modesty.

I am sure that no matter how old we get but you will still be same Apalu for me. Be in touch and wish you all success in your life. â?º...

PRAKHAR KATIYAR One hell of a guy. Talented to the core. His CP were irritating at first, but most of the time it made sense. You are a knowledge powerhouse, creative genius. Became your instant fan when I saw you present in HUL’s Branding related workshop. So well formed sentences and communication so well directed. Only APAL could have done that, You proved your talent at every field. But most of all, what I love about you is your down-to-earth behavior. You never discriminate anybody, and you are everybody’s friend. Proud to have met you here, and made you my friend....SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

Apal....talent unlimited...the know-it-all guy..CP god..teachers ka pyaara...marketing guru...that everyone knows about you...but few people have seen the emotional side of you...u r one of the best friends to have when u need any sort of help...i remember coming to you for help when i had so many doubts about where i was headed...u made me realize that i will manage to find something good fr myself...only u could have done tht....u understand people....find qualities in them and make sure that u communicate the same....i have rarely found u criticizing anybody which is the evidence to the fact that u see only good in ppl...moving on to other things...dude kya likhta hai yaar....u

have a dictionary in ur head....khatarnak words use karta hai....party mai dance karta hai to apne hi ishtyle mai...cricket khelta hai to apne terms pe :P....competitions mai part sirf jeetne ke liye hi leta hai....last minute logo ko exams se pehle gyaan deta hai...assignments poore karta hai (thnks for AMR bhai)...to sum it up....campus ka sabse PHODU banda hai tu....i will always respect you bhai...Please jaisa hai waisa hi rahiyo....dont change fr anybody (except may b fr a girl, but that seems improbable :P)....Keep in touch....cigarette acche se bechio :P...wish u all the success and happiness bhai :)...PUNIT GUPTA Mr. Hotshot, know-it-all, professors’ worst nightmare. Was an absolute pleasure working with you in MediaCom. Would never forget all those dinners at Sheesha, Alcove and the impromptu night mess gatherings. It’s a different thing altogether that I thought you were a bigger snob than me when I met you for the first time. That impression didn’t last long. I wish you all the best for your future and hope we get a lot of occasions to catch up with each other....KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

â??APAL â?? â??is one guy who is simply unforgettable. I have never met someone like him - a photographic memory, brilliant Insights and a heart of gold. The plethora of knowledge he has about everything makes everyone else doubt their own capabilities (sometimes even the profs :P ), but despite this I have never seen even a hint of arrogance in him. Always down-to-earth and ready to help, it feels like he is still untouched by the worldâ??s evils. :) ITC is lucky to have you. Wish you all the best in future.

Stay in touch! (P.S. : Indore mein na sahi, Mumbai aa jaana. Litti-chokha dinner to karke hi rahenge :P ) ...TRISHLA

Apal. The guy every girlâ??s mom would want to have as their son-in-law :D Met him for the first time during our outing to Alcove along with other mediacommies after summers! Came across to me as a really introvert and shy person. That perfectly went well him being a teetotaler. However, I could experience the phenomenon of Apal during fourth term, when I frankly learnt more about Brand Management from him than Sadh. It was funny at times how he would interrupt Sadh in between and come up with his own ideas, which would give a new direction to the topic altogether, and it was something that made those classes bearable. Calling him helpful will be an understatement. While preparing for finals I casually asked him on chat once to brief me about his interview experience, and this guy mails me his entire ITC interview experience in an exhaustive Q&A format within another couple of hours. I was totally amazed. One of the

few who came here to learn things and not just get a job. Also knows how to encourage people; I recall once after Jayasimha mailed one of my MOS post-session analogies to the participants, he quickly mailed me to appreciate and tell me that he looks forward to more such points from me, even though both of us know that points like that are like daily bread & butter for him. Appreciate his humility. One of the few who inspired me in some ways here, stay blessed & have fun Apal! :)...

ISHAN BOSE Also known as Apple, Apal Cummerbach, Apal Kumar, Apal Sen, Apal Gaikwad, Apal is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person on campus. Be it marketing, history or any topic under the roof, Apal has a fair idea about everything. With the voracious reader that he is, combined with his sharp memory, I am sure he can be a great quizzer â?? I still have no clue why he hasnâ??t tried his hand in it yet. Though at first I didnâ??t like him, over the last one year we have come really close â?? we share an interest for fine food and dance. He is someone who is always energetic, brimming with ideas and eager to help you out even if it involves sacrificing his personal interests. He has worked very hard over the last two years and he has been rewarded well for it â?? though he has the potential to achieve much more. He has a particular love interest on campus but is afraid to take the plunge. Aur kuch din hai â?? kar le â?? baad me afsos hoga beta! With that piece of gyaan, I wish you a great life ahead!...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

First learned ur name at the Diro incidence :P Really admirable deication to everything including class participation which helped take the proff’s attention off of the rest of us ;) All the best for the life ahead specially ur sports dream....Stay in touch if u find time ;) :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY Apal here’s a confession. You were the first person I hated on campus!

That the Bakra Group would lead to an ever-lasting friendship (I hope) was something I could never have imagined given how bad your first impression of someone who I thought was not open to opinion was.

Perhaps that’s your best quality. You are what you are and that’s a treasure which very few people possess. Where in a MBA everyone is busy doing Impression Management, you’ve been the most humble and honest friend I have ever made on campus. Let me not talk about your measurable qualities of knowledge, information, IQ, because I’d be wasting my time finding the biggest number in the world. The

beauty of the relationship we shared over PARIS is etched in my memory not to be wiped off ever. Let’s not break this precious thread of friendship ever. ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI Hi apal..u were my menor..u changed my cv completely and prepared me for interviews..u were a brilliant senior..i remember being blown away by ur interrobong ppt..all the best and stay happy :)...PALLAVI GUPTA

Apal, though we interacted for a very brief time. i have had some great fun during Utsaha. That day when we were about to lose our day 1 collation sheet, what a day that was. I have learnt a lot from you and have never seen a person more passionate about marketing as you. No wonder ITC has grabbed you and is going to never let go :)...SNEHA MAZUMDAR

My favorite guy in the world(Please take it innocently :P) Anyone would tell you that hes one of the most awe inspiring people they know, the walking encyclopedia, the most helpful guy in campus(youl rarely find this guy by himself in his room, most often helping someone else), a truly humble person in-spite of his talents and exploits be it various competitions, his prof beating CPs, cracking ITC through the toughest route...the list goes on and on. One of the easy ways to spot this guy on campus during DJ parties - The one doing the most funny/no care in the world moves (I just couldn’t stop laughing the first time i saw him dance). I owe him half my grades in first year to him, i remember how we used to crowd around his lappy or spiral and he would breeze us through the entire syllabus.

Alot of regrets by how things turned out in the end but irrespective of that he’l always be an inspiration to me. Wish you the best in life Apal....Aaron DSouza Apalllllll...tere baare mein jitna kaha jaye utna kam hai yar! I guess u live up to your name like no one else does!! I still remember how initially we all used to hate u for your unending CPs :-P but with time, we realised that your wealth of knowledge can give even the profs a run for their money! :-D i dont think its an overstatement to call u “Mr Chalta Phirta Kotler”..it was truly an honour to be in the same class as yours :-).. and yes, i can also not forget how you used to help me resolve my numerous confusions in first year :-P.. thanks a bunch for that..again!..u know another great thing about u is that u are extremely down to earth and helpful despite knowing so much more than everyone! one doesn’t need to think twice before approaching u, which i think is a wonderful quality to have :-) I have had some amazingly fun experiences with you and am going to cherish

each and every one of them :-) (the fights included :-P) I’m sure you’ll do great at ITC and end up bringing some great transformations to whichever company you go to :-) All the very best for all your future endeavours! Stay blessed and keep smiling as always :-) P.S: I hope you were referring only to my ‘professional’ connections when u said u want to use them for your benefit :-P ;-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Pardon me if my testimonials are not upto the mark - last min rush as usual :-/ If there’s any such thing as a unique person, it’s Apal. I have, in my life, seen no one like him and I don’t expect to either. The first thing which I noticed about my dear friend was the sheer talkativeness (even in class) - one can imagine how angry I was initially that I was allotted the seat next to him. However, once you get past the initial walls, here is a person who is all for his friends and goes to any lengths for them. The uniqueness about Apal is that he’s a nerd and he’s not a nerd. I remember him tending to each and everyone’s doubts right before the exams.but he himself hadn’t studied anything. The beauty about him is that he puts other’s needs before his without any fuss at all. I can’t imagine anyone in my life who would do that. I hope he donates his brain later on because his memory is just seen to be believed right from 3rd class textbook chapter names and correcting teachers in class with facts he’s collected over the years :P. He’s a passionate football fan as well and loves Manchester United. We have had some good times when we travelled (in vain) to Shillong, the mama ji ka dhaba, section parties and the usual late night bakar in night mess. I am very poor at keeping contact and this guy ensures that he meets his friends regularly. /\ I think I will miss his company a lot. I just hope to inculcate even 10% of his selfless nature within me. I am sure you’ll have a great life ahead. Keep in touch. All the very best!!! :)...ARUP MANDAL Apple!!! Our connection goes back 4 years though we did not realise it till we went to Mamme da Dhaaba! I wish we had gotten to know each other well earlier..you are truly one of kind...nobody can guess who you are until they spend some quality time with you...HOP was amazing thanks to you...you motivated me at every step and there was never a dull moment...the climb to the top of Dayara summit was an achievement I could not have accomplished alone (thanks a lot! :) ) Ur genius is well known around the campus and your dedication to everything you do is brilliant-you talk in one tone so you get away with so many things-remember I see through it ;) you are very cute

in that you get so concious if I am even slightly more sweet to you :) As reiterated by everybody you are one of the most selfless people I have met-througout HOP you were there at all points including when I needed company for the wall painting ( a fond memory and a thing off my bucket list).. you were also my companion in eating food -even on campus you have never said no to me ...truly a sweet friend---I am so happy to have you as my colleague and companion in the start of a new chapter of my life...btw uptil now I hv loved your testimonial the most---another thing to your list of acheivements- a brilliant writer!! Cheers to a fun fillef stint at ITC-m sure you are going to stun everyone out there too!!!...MEHTA SALONI URVESH APAL .. one the most amazing people i have met in IIM Indore ..u r the “chalta firta encyclopedia” who has knowledge about every damn thing under the sun.. a brilliant guy with truckloads of information about marketing .. how many competitions have you actually cracked ??? and the list of your achievements goes on and on .. a selfless person to the say the least, always helping out your friends with your valuable suggestions and advice .. i have not seen any one else on this campus who has worked so hard just for helping out his friends... a gem of a person who is very innocent at heart like a small kid .. the world has really not influenced you at all .. stay the same always .. wish you all the happiness and success in life .. i am sure you would do great in your life and hope you build a great career for yourself in sports marketing .. ATB :) .. keep in touch!! ...SHELLY PAREEK Apal.. the most quirky, goofy and yet intelligent senior I have met in IIM Indore. The thing I admire the most about u is ur ability to interact with people so smoothly and get things done (And yes I m referring to the way u made me run to Chabbis to measure the diameter of a Coke bottle :P) But on a serious note, after having worked with u in Utsaha as well as Guinness, I have tremendous respect for you. Such a perfectionist, yet so easily approchable. You are an extremely friendly and awesome person and I hope to learn SPSS from u some day :P Wishing u the best... keep in touch :) ...ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

Apal, the guy to whom I couldnâ??t give a cute nickname for two years!

First met in train with Ishan while coming to IIM Indore, couldnâ??t have imagined that weâ??ll become such good friends. Cannot forget your red bean bag and my pictures on it. I thin your phone has my pictures than yours â?º I remember I used to give you bad looks when you used to give

all answers in class in the 1st term. Being a commercee was the only thing common between us that time.But soon we got to know how alike we are. Other might see whats clearly visible i.e. the sharp brain, Wikipedia hi kehloâ?¦and your amazing way of answering questions in class. But I feel honored to know you as a person, as a friend. The way you call me SUNSHINE makes me want to be a better person and make you more and more happy. I shall never forget the fun we have had, and I shall always send you jabong and myntra links whenever you have to buy gifts :P Thanks for being the one to whom I could say same pinch when I got bad marks in finance quizzes. I know youâ??ll always remain the same and hopefully you change your mind about getting married and I get to dance in your wedding :P Our shopping and pizza hut dates shall continue even after college so donâ??t worry.

I am always here to make you smile and help you shop. Thanks for being an amazing friend. Will miss you and your red bean bag. ...PALAK MAHANOT

It was a very great experience working with you in Entrepidâ?¦A very hardworking and knowledgeable person, he is always full of energyâ?¦You are definitely going to rock in ITC and your life ahead..

Wish you all the best and Stay in touch:)...ATISHAY KUMAR JAIN

The CP master.. And ever so helpful in nature.. Be it any time of the day, he’ll always be there for you.. Wish you a great life.. Do keep in touch :)...

SUPRIYA THUKRAL

So let me be very frank here â?? It is not an easy task to sit just ahead of Apal. It is painstakingly self-respect depleting and increasingly inferiority complex generating. This guy knows everything the prof has to teach â?? he would prompt and pre-empt the perfect jargon for every single concept â?? he aces everything right from Marketing to HR to Law. Sometimes I used to doubt if he had like a handbook all the time and other times, I feared he has a computer fitted inside his brain. I simply adore and admire you, Apal for your intelligence and knowledge and how you are so down-to-earth even after that (your best presentation for me was the SM-II one for Football - GENIUS). However, the most important thing for me is the way you go out of the way each and everytime to help your friends.

It is impossible to find someone so advanced a human both in terms intellect and values. Still a lot left to learn from you, so apne darshan dete rehne! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Bihari! On many a damp night much like this one, I wonder how the state of Bihar copes with this kind of a brain drain.. Haha.. Though amazingly, as much has been written above about your superior intellect, very little has been mentioned about the genesis of this crazy all engulfing monster you call your ‘brain’.. Haha.. Now that I have performed the ritual of taking your case, I believe I can get serious.. I have met only two people from Bihar who garnered my such respect, one is of course you and the second person is Mohan Kuruvilla. Though of course you’ve given him a run for his money when it comes to marketing but boy do you know your sub-

jects.. Except for finance, I guess you know all the subjects! I thought I could speak well but when you start its hard to not be awestruck.. Of course your trademark ‘monotone’ is something that is hard to ignore but your eloquence is on a different level all together... From your sideways CP to your involuntary need to taste someone else’s drink to the maddening days of ITC Interrobang.. We have spent a lot of good time together... By the way, I have seen you scare many professors here but the what was truly amazing was how RaviC bested you! I know you will do wonderful things in life but try to get married too.. Ishan can’t stay with you always.. Haha.. And yes, keep working the way you do.. Its pretty awesome.. Till the next time we meet in and around Bihar, See you... And yes, please change that ringtone of yours, its too ‘fruity’....ADITYA AGARWAL

Mr. knowall! Sitting in a boring lecture, when the mind would begin to wander, there would come a voice, loud and clear, â?? the johari window introduced in the year 1955â?¦â?? ï?? And that is Apal for you, a guy who knows everything! ï?? And apart from his eidetic memory, he is also a very humble guy. Sweet, simple and courteous! Apal, it was a pleasure to spend these two years with you. Wish you all the best in life! ...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

The guy with an analytical bent of mind....hardworking...intelligent... smart...We interacted mainly in Mridang which was a success because of your hard work ...the guy who would come to my wing and kick the door saying Arup uth ja...8 45 ho gaya......All the best in life...ANSHU KUMAR

I donâ??t know how we ended up becoming friends, but I think, one of the reasons why I will always cherish being at IIM Indore, will be you, Apal. You are one of the most interesting, genuine and unconventional people Iâ??ve known. Iâ??ve known you as a friend first and then when we worked together for Mridang. What has emerged through both is that I can count on you with my eyes closed and know you will be there. You have too much energy, commitment and passion for a person. The amount of work you accomplish in short durations often made me feel like a big nincompoop! ï?? You are simply brilliant.

You often made me take a step back and view the situation through a different perspective and that has made me a better person and this thoughtfulness of yours is what makes everyone love you and feel happy about having you in their lives. Mridang wouldnâ??t have been

half of what it was without your selfless contribution. I know, I wouldnâ??t have been able to carry on. The knowledge that you are there gave me confidence that we could move mountains. Apal, you are a very special person and I got lucky to meet you, be your friend and have you as my friend too....RICHA PODDAR

The Know-it-all!! One who finished all the professors statements while sitting behind me!! This was the impression I had in the first term. But as I got to know you better, I realized what a gem of a person you are!! Soon know-it-all transformed into “knowledgeable” and your habit of completing the profs’ statements ensured that the class was not eerily quiet!! :) One of the most helpful persons I have ever met, I am always amazed at how you simplify things and go about doing it. All the AMR discussion we had after Utsaha taught me more about marketing research than the 2 courses that I took! :P Wishing you all the luck and may you be the best marketer in your chosen field....BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

Although your knowledge does eclipse your other talents, I admire you for the person you are - the Perfect friend. You have an ever ready to help nature and go miles out of your way to make life joyful for the many people who have been lucky to be around you - I envy them. You have a great sense of transparency and righteousness. All those rumors you heard about what I cook, are true and if you are reading this you should come over already :) I wish you all the...blah ...blah blah... yeah all that but actually I wish all your peers at work best of luck, they are gonna need more than that it if they are ever gonna go up against you. NOTE At this point in time, HUL used to be a strong competitor for ITC...VIDUSH ARYA

Apal, I am a big fan of your ability to recollect the minutest of details from your memory. Mridang could never have grown to such levels without your contribution. It was a pleasure to work with you for the same. Wish you good luck! ...AGARWAL ROHAN RAJENDRA

Abe saale APal....itne testimonials....:O :O If there is one person whom I want to be more successful than me...its you...coz you deserve it the most....you rock apal bhai... you are one of those guys who knows it all and then wont show it everywhere...people think you show off through your CP but I know thats not the case...if you had to show off then you would have spoken more than SDM prof..coz definitely you knoe more than him...:P Everybody has praised you memory skills and comm. skills....but APAL as a person..is much much more awesome....punit once

told me...”if there is one person who will never say no to help even an unknown is APAL”.....and I really found out on 23rd evening....you had no purpose to help me...you could have gone and chilled in your room...but the interview you took helped me a lot...and one of the questions in RPG interview was “how will you enter into a new area”... the same question you asked a day before and gave me the correct answers...room par jaane ke baad bhi you searched and sent me the links.....bhai you really rock :) :) and thanks for everything :) and given you dedication...whatever you do..you will be awesome in it...really hope that you get what you deserve....respect bhai _/\_...PAVITRA YADAV

Apal!! How can I thank you for the ‘n’ number of treats you have given me :p:p Don’t think any other senior would have done this :p Jokes apart, it was great being a part of the Entrepid team. Though initially you always seemed very serious in the team meetings, I think it was during Utsah when I got to know you better and discovered that there was a fun side to you as well :p I enjoyed a lot working with you for both Entrepid and Utsah. Also, in the process, I have learnt a lot from you. You always put in your 100% and rightly deserved whatever you have achieved here. I wish you all the best for your future and am sure you will do even better, Please do keep in touch :) ...AYUSH GUPTA

Life is Fast, Life is Fleeting, Life is Ephemeral, So just run as fast as your life! But you APAL run faster than ur life!!! An encyclopedia of knowledge, the most helpful of frnds and a thorough gentleman wen it cms to the ladies.. Ur far more precious thn APPLE’s net worth!! u possess skills that normal human bengs dont!! ur one of the reasons coz of which m proud to be a part of Section-E.. the classes widout u r boring n i just dont knw hw u manage to chat/play games in the class at 1 moment n at the very othr moment ask doubts/answer questions!!! u hv xtra processing capabilities for sure! seriously apal u hv such a long way to go n u ought to be a STAR! may god always bless u n may u get all that u deserve!! N the last thing which i’ll be doing before leaving campus (n trust me I would never do smthing lyk dis until one really hs smthin) is request you: “AUTOGRAPH PLEASE!!”...DARSHITA DOSHI

Apalâ?¦Apple. I hereby confess that I did not like you very much in Term 1, thanks to your non-stop CPs in class. I perfectly remember the same kind of irritation felt by Punit and our constant planning to shut you up. But a lot has changed since then and I must say you are the

most well-read person I’ve ever met. You will have opinion on just about anything and that is what makes you special. You are surely going to be an asset of great value to any organisation. So here’s wishing you a great life and a great career! Cheers! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Bhagwan ko ham jaise aam admi kya likh sakhte hai?! Bhagwan se sirf aashirwaad mangte hai :) Apalji, humko thodasa kuch aashirwaad dedijiye ki ham bhi thoda apke jaise bansakte hai :D Jokes apart, Apal is seriously one person who has amazed me with the level of knowledge he possesses. He over time has assumed so many titles, all of which he deserves, ‘walking encyclopedia’, ‘walking kotler’, ‘the GOD’! Respect man!

From the time i recieved complaints from fellow section mates about his non stop CP to the time all of us look upto to Apal to make some CP in class, our friendship has come a long way and I’m greatful to having made a friend in you. All the best for your future and i’m sure you would outdo Kotler soon enough :P...ESHWAR M S

One of the smartest minds on the campus, Apal is a very down to earth and upfront guy. The entire finding-the-bag-on-a-bus episode is something that I can never forget. And the weird rejoice hug as well. :P Have a great life ahead at Itc and many more awesome companies....LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

Apal, I saw you first time at the Campus during the Interrobang presentation. You came across as a very studious and knowledgeable person.

During Utsaha we interacted and I found you to be “Mr.knowitall”, one who pulls out jokes from his sleeves, kind hearted. I wish you all the best for your career and hope to remain in touch with you. ...MOHITE SUMIT SHARAD

Apal is one who is never short of ideas, you can discuss anything with him be it academic, personal or anything in general apal would also have suggestions for you... He has a level of maturity which defies his age... No doubt he had a great 2 years with lots of success... I cannot forget to mention his ever helping nature .. Frankly speaking he has helped me a lot of times even when I didnt expect it from him... He is gem of person will go way ahead in lIfe...A perfect manager material......TUSHAR AGRAWAL

Had our batch strength been 3, with no exaggeration I vouch you would have found a graceful slot in it. I for one completely owe my PGP degree to you. But for your real CPs (in total contrast with mine) and the

insights that followed from them, the learning from academic classes would have been hard to justify. You have truly lived the life of a legend here â?? be it academics, extra curries, competitions and what not. Beginning term 1, even when people were busy getting used to PGP environment you were busy gearing up for participating in your endless list of B School competitions. An ideal MBA student who has endeavoured to extract the maximum out of here â?? it is you Apal. No wonder you are destined to create history! A man far beyond his age in terms of actionable results and matured thought process. Wish you a brightest career ahead !...PRATEEK JAIN

Apal!! Sorry .. for pullin your legâ?¦ It just gives me sadist pleasure so ;)â?¦Nothing intentional okâ?¦ so chill ï??â?¦. Thnk u Apal for all the life saving, last minute thorough lessons. Apal ur knowledge about almost all the domain inspires me to always read and read more, which I seldom do ;).. Vry grounded person no matter however talented u areâ?¦ Never thought u would be fun to be around with, with the no. of CPs u give in evry class and the studious look u have but believe me you are total entertainer tooâ?¦ It has been a pleasure knowing you, Keep in touch(bade log :P) and all the best for your future endeavours.. u ll definitely fly high :)...SUMITA KERKETTA

PAUL M A D ARIN

The saint who preaches simplicity of life with a sutta in his hand, one who brags about himself without an expression of humility, one who can live with a xxxxl sized hoodie for a lifetime and doesn’t give a fuck about the world. Not just me but everyone around has been a fan of your rhetorical questions (I can imagine you would say FAN KYA? after reading this). May be this isn’t enough to describe how cool a person you are. A brief period of one year and, trust me, I have learnt a lot from you (still not enough I know, in your words: not even half as good as you would like me to be :P). Its not just difficult but nearly impossible to have a perspective of life like you do. the other day if you remember I said i don’t want to be you (with due respect :P) but the point is I can’t even if i try. You have been there for one of the toughest times of my life. and not to forget, for the most bakar times as well (the whole spicing up episode :D). Thanking you for all this just won’t be enough. Plus the story doesn’t end here.. you have to be there for some tough times ahead (i know how sure you are about me being in trouble again:D) .. chal isse jyada short nahi dunga. Have a great life ( I am sure you will have a great one). Cheers! ...RAHUL NAGDEV

I came across you as one of the Bengali guys staying opposite to me in I-block! I always thought about you as a very lazy guy who would not waste time on things other than sleeping and eating. :P. You were always seen with Manu back then and people used to say things about you two :P. But then the term I grades proved everyone wrong and thats when I realized what an amazing brain you have! An avid quizzer, you seem to have the knowledge that you can talk sense with almost anyone, a quality to die for. Very early you came into my core group of friends, and since you did not entertain much of the people around,

I will be always grateful that you gave me a chance! :D Your open ways of letting the world know how you topped SAPM (marginal utility :P) were just methods to belittle yourself in front of the Fin Greats. That only showed your humility to everyone. Your ways of telling anecdotes about everyone in the group were very hilarious and enjoyed by one and all, since you always knew where to draw the line. Being a fresher yourself, you always loathed them (an irony) but you always used to prove why you were way ahead of everyone. Still remembered the day when I cheered for you in Tata Crucibles in PGP-1!! Sometimes I feel you do not believe in yourself in some of the things that you are capable of doing. But then as they say Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives. So I know you will have a great life in times to come! Do keep in touch. Cheers.....RAHUL YADAV

Mera bangali bhai (as you refer to me so often, especially after gulping down a few ;) ). If I had to make a film on your life, I swear I would title it “Who gives a fuck?_|_”. Haha, that, and your oversized hoodie, which you finally changed after one and a half years for something a little better fitted. Your insane made-up, exaggerated, and sometimes completely barefaced lies/stories :-o, were, I must, admit. extremely funny and enjoyable, even the ones where I myself was the central character of the stories :P In fact, I have tried to pick up your art of story-telling in a few cases myself in the last year at campus ;) Your insane barrage of rhetoric questions, your unique way of providing masala to a story and then stepping back and watching others take over, all are signs of a true bakchod :P You know, you are one of the biggest bakchods, and the most lazy guy I have ever come across. And what I admire about you is that you live life on your own terms always, your motivation and outlook towards life are unique, and you define success truly from the heart. And jo bhi ho, never ever change that part of yourself. Despite your laidback lifestyle, you are still one of the toppers of the batch! Wow! Some talent you have, hats off to you for that!

Always stay happy, stay successful, and keep showing the middle finger to the established misconceptions of society about how life should be lived!Cheers! ...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

The thing with Paul is..that he lets his opinions about THINGS known to people around him. Well!! thats a virtue surely!! But you got to meet him to gauge the extent of originality and passion in his opinions. And ya!!

He loves gossiping and thoroughly believes in the grapevine system of communication. He can blow you out of your wits with his quizzing knowledge. A gem of a guy although a little lazy but an absolute fun to be with....

PRANAY TODI

Paul...the first thing that comes to mind when I remember your face is ‘Kitna bada gandu hai!â?? You are unbelievably lazy (not opening the door coz you’re relaxing on your bed!), even more unbelievably unhygienic (the used ear buds and dental floss lying around), you are a terrible loser (the bag of excuses you always have when you show up to get your ass whooped at FIFA), an irrepressible rumour-monger (kaun jail gaye they? :P), an irresponsible alcoholic (â??you donâ??t give a fuckâ?? â?? and you make it a point to let the whole campus know once youâ??ve had a drink :P) and a proud free-rider! Oh yes and before I miss it â?? rhetorical questions kya? There! If you were looking for a list of â??sweetâ?? adjectives I hope I havenâ??t disappointed you! :P Itna bada gandu hoke bhi thereâ??s no doubt that youâ??re one of my best friends on campus. Iâ??ve always found you to be quite honest and upfront with your opinions. Youâ??ve even surprised me with all those deep insightful quotes you make on life (only grey â?? no black and white). I must admit Paul, before we met I did have very rigid ideas about black and white. It was in knowing and appreciating you as a person that I realized how naïve that stand was.

I think tu stud hai Paul. You know who you are, you make no pretence about it to anyone. You know what you want in life and you donâ??t let the â??consensus-viewâ?? decide what you should and should not go for. To me that just shows your conviction and how clear you are about what matters most to you in life. That is one thing I wish I could learn from you Paul. With all the rumours and all the questions youâ??re also a very entertaining chap to be with! Thereâ??s rarely a dull moment with you around. Since the second-term, when I think we became friends, youâ??ve inspired more expletives in me than probably anyone else ever has. But after all - gaaliyan apno ko hee di jaati hai. ;) Itâ??s been a delight Paul. Iâ??m sure we keep in touch. Good luck bro... :)...ADHIT S. SHETTY

Yo Paul!! The Man. I got to know you in term 4 and I wish I had known you earlier. Your carefree way of life (characterized by your room and attire) is one that I would love to live and not to worry so much about the future. What defines you is the attitude of I don’t give a damn (:P) about what anyone thinks of me and thats the best thing about you, although you get cut down on self-boasting part (like Main GOD hoon KYA?). True genius in your own right - Acads topper, GOD level quizzer, competition guru and football pundit (self-boasting again). Don’t

change the way your are and live life the way you know best. I wish I get Chennai and we get to have more heart-to-heart talks :P. Good luck and Macha De!! (Yes, you are a Racist Bastard :P)...HITESH H CHANDNANI

He is simply the coolest and one of the most genuine guys I’ve met and also one of the rare persons with whom you can share anything you want, with absolute trust. He belongs to the ‘don’t study-party hard’ kind, and is still one among the toppers, which only emphasizes how immensely talented he is. Needless to say, an amazing quizzer (met him for the first time in the quiz club meeting) and equally amazing company! Quizzing with him is a lot of fun, and I hope we’ll continue that for years to come.

I could not have imagined 5th term without him being there to help in all the group assignments :P. Best Secy ever (I’m sure quiz club will vouch for this). If this is what laziness brings to you, I cannot imagine what feat you would have achieved, had you not been this lazy. He is gifted with this child like charm about him, which never fails to make you smile. I know you’ll curse me for using such a formal word, but I’m really ‘privileged’ to be one among your friends. There are lots of great things in store for you!

Stay happy, and keep in touch!...RAJNI RANJAN

I interacted with this guy very early at IIM Indore, thanks to the Bong connection. He would often tease me calling Finguru, thanks to my self-proclaimed finance obsession initially, but I believe that title suits him more than me. His immense CPs at times would catch attention of people snoring off lectures otherwise, often being the nap-breaker. Also thanks for teaming up and supporting in the cause of winning JBIMS B team at such a short notice :P Without you it would not be possible to clear the prelims ;) In terms of achievement, it was certainly my best in 2 years and I seriously thank you for that! Now that we are a part of the same organization, I look forward to fun times with if we land up in the same location! Have fun, and win Crucible this time! (y)...ISHAN BOSE

The first interaction, I had with Arindam on campus was in Quiz Club interview process. The first impression - How the hell, this guy is even the secy?! Later I found out that, he is one of the studs of the campus. And this is not even the reason, today I have loads of respect for him. After the first Quiz Club meeting, I understood he is easily the most friendly guy, you can ever meet. And the assurance of help he has given me during our summers - I can never forget that. His command on sports and business trivia is amazing. And though he doesn’t fit the bill of a traditional leader(secy), he is special in his own way. He was (is) always funny to talk

to and probably the most cheering guy. Thanks for the amazing party in the end and I can say that I really enjoyed being in this club and working and hanging out with u (the alcohol sessions too :P) and one couldn’t have asked for a better secy in that sense. Hope you achieve whatever u aim for in life. All the best for Crucibles and I hope you will be leaving with 1 lakh on the night of March 6th. ...KANAPAKA MANOHAR I first came to know Paul when we had our Industry visits to the Traffic Police together. It was easy to realize that behind the cool exterior, the worn out jeans and the extra large t-shirts, Paul was also hiding an amazing intellect. I remember asking him about Cricket world cup winning teams and he said, “That’s nothing, ask me Football world cup winning teams for any year. At least, that’s something worth getting impressed about.” That’s Paul for you. Always supremely confident and completely honest without a modicum of modesty. I remember liking him, because he didn’t make any CP in class and still ended up cracking every subject. I don’t think anyone on campus has cracked such a wide variety of subjects from Finance to Operations to every fucking numerical course. But that’s exactly what Paul is, a mass of ridiculous contrasts. Despite being an engineer, he is a complete techno-phobe and I remember him struggling to make 2 boxes of the same size in Powerpoint. How he has managed to crack so many competitions remains a mystery to me. It’s been great knowing you, and hope you do well wherever you go! ...SIDDHARTH JAIN

God created man in his image. And then He got stoned and decided to have some fun. That is an excerpt from the soon-to-be-published book, enticingly titled ‘Arindam Paul: A Genesis’. At first glance, he might strike you as the proverbial hobo, going about his business, as hobos are wont to do. But gaze closer and you’ll find that the threadbare blue hoodie he dons just doesn’t fit the discarded Pantaloons bill from a decade ago that you’d expect your typical urchin to wear, the dry patches of grime that adorn his face with all the majesty of war paint are not, in fact, your average smudges of destitution and the laudably tragic dance moves he pulls in your occasional DJ parties will not invite a quick seize-and-dispose operation from the bouncer. They all come tinged with the blasphemy of choice. For this Arindam Paul of ours is not your average human 2.0 you’ll find in every crevice of IIM Indore. He is, in truth, just the anthropological equivalent of a Dell laptop that comes with a few non-essential components missing. It is

no surprise that when he walks, he does it with the lugubrious grandeur of phlegm slithering down the basin and it is commonly held that somewhere between waking up at the crack of noon and breakfast, he landed up in an IIM. Being the genius that he is, he managed to top as well and he did all of that without giving a single fuck. Paul is someone who thrives on taking people’s trips and you would bear it all with a smile on your face because you know he means no harm (and the fact that if you respond, you might be snapped at with a ‘Bhak saale! Dikhau kya lund tujhko?!).

All jabs aside, he’s a good egg. Hard boiled and only slightly cracked :)...

ANOORAG BISWAS Arindam is the most chilled out guy I know in campus. A brilliant quizzer, acads topper and sports fanatic... we never understood how he managed to do all this together and still stay humble.:P Jokes apart, he is a true blue dude... Hats off to you man!! I wish you the very best in life and hope you win the crucible so that we get an even grander partyyy :D Keep rocking!!And yeah.. do stay in touch....HINA RASTOGI

Arindam Pal, I have been staring at this blank box for the last 30 minutes and still havenâ??t figured out what should go in this. I have spent more time with you than with anyone else over the last two years and yet cannot find any remarkable incident. But then, this is probably why you are (and you know it) my best friend on campus. I can sit in your room for no reason and talk about nothing important, something I donâ??t usually do. I do not need to write that you have been very successful at IIM Indore, letâ??s just say that your return to effort ratio has been exceptional.

Contrary to what people think, I do not find you lazy; you will make that extra effort for things and people that matter to you. I do not understand why people donâ??t see it when you pretend to not know something just to avoid the fuss. This by the way is not your best quality according to me. The good thing about you is how you have identified the people you should give a fuck about, itâ??s even better that those guys just love your company. You can be funny, serious, racist, keep a secret and participate in a serious â??where my life is goingâ?? discussion. I ll probably end this rather dull piece with one advice â?? Plz donâ??t change; It ll be difficult to not be a go getter going forward. I know i would be and would like to be your go-to-guy going forward. ...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Contrary to what i said on saturday i am writing testimonials :P and how could i miss out wrtiting one for u. Didnt get to interact much with you in first year thanks to the stupid senior team which didnt encourage much

bonding between us and only taught us to operate projectors :P But man second year has been insane. QUizzing , man both of us have infinite amount of passion for quizzing its the only thing that can make us come out of our natural state of laziness. You being the secy i think i can atleast claim to be your left hand man (sena being right hand) :P Your laughter is the best and most distinct and even when i see you type out hahaha on facebook i can hear your laugh. You pretty much laugh at everything and it has made me very delusional about the level of my jokes :P. Whacky conversations over sutta will always be remembered and its definitely sad that we wont be in the same city. Dont forget me because u have suraj menon now :P...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI Got to know u while working on Indore marathon...very chilled out yet intelligent and hardworking when the situation calls for it.... Hv a great life ahead...hoping to be in touch :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Brilliant Quizzer and a nice guy to talk. Arindam, how come there is no correlation between you and your resume. ( You have achieved so much but are so humble). You were someone who always informed me personally when a quiz club event was being held ( May be it was due to low participation but i still appreciate that..:) ). One more thing I distinctly remember is your attendance (100%) at United games in common room. Wishing you all the best. Stay in touch.!...SUMANTH J

well you are one of the most brilliant guys i ever had in my friend circle....and at the same time you are so cool about everything....i still remember our CONCEPT days with all the parties and fun we had.... never imagined would end up together in the same IIM....was too relieved to know that you were here.. :D an awesome quizzer, sports fanatic and a party animal...always helped me with the senior pep talks and always advised me to chill ;-) great energy and obviously charming....wishing you all the best for your future life....do stay in touch :) Cheers!! ...ARINDAM NATH

The quizzer, the sports fanatic, the cool guy...just name it and arindam paul just perfectly fits into it..Dude one thing which would really make me remember u is the fact that u might be perhaps the only quizzer i know who was also a topper in the batch..Hats off to u man..how the hell did u manage all this..Apart from all this the fact that i really admire you is for ur humility and the straight forward nature with which

u approach things.God Bless u man..have a rocking future and do keep in touch....R RAHUL “Is there any quiz enthusiast here?” was the question posted in the converts group on FB and then i came to know about somebody called Arindam Paul is going to join our batch who is interested in quizzing. My quiz partner from the very first day in campus and we make a true “East India Company”. I feel lucky to be the partner of such a great quizzer. An awesome chilled out guy and an ultimate booze-mate. I wish i could record our discussions about Suzie after we got drank. A very chilled out person and a very responsible guy when it comes to work. And a brilliant student (the only batch rank holder from quiz club). I always enjoyed your company. I hope we’ll get more chance to participate in quizzes together. All the best for your future dude !!...SENAJIT CHAKI

When Arindam walks by, people look up and comment, “Now there goes a guy who gives zero f’’cks about the world”. Don’t let this image of him fool you though.He’s a genuine guy who’s very easy to become friends with, as I discovered in our first quiz club meeting. Biz quizzer extraordinaire, academic topper and like me, someone who enjoys the classics.He handled his quiz club responsibilities brilliantly this year and the juniors are positively scared of him by now I think. I’m glad I had the chance to work with and later, kick back with this guy over these 2 years. Cheers...

ADITYA BALARAMAN He is one of the smartest and all round people on campus. Neighbor in class during the first year, thanks for helping me pass Cost Accounting quizzes. :D Very clear about the concepts, a fast reader and writer. Loved your well timed CPs in the class. All the best for the future....NAVTEJ VERMA An avid quizzer, sports enthusiast and academics wizard!! No less than an all-rounder, though I had only heard of the quizzing thing about him from a common friend, before coming to IIMI. He is one of my Currenci seniors who I saw only on the first meeting and the last meeting of the whole session.. :P :P Jokes apart, he is one person who can give the right piece of advice anytime. One who lives life king-size and wears a smile on his face always. Have a great life ahead!! Stay blessed!! Keep in touch.. :) ...PRIYADARSHINI MULLICK Arindam- You are very satisfied (forgive me but u are sort of ‘saintly’) soul.When you shared a few college experiences, I was amazed by your

intelligence and never-say-die attitude. Then, again you contined the torment here at IIMI - Acing exams and other such things :P Wish you lot more happiness in times to come :) Cheers...Sneha Tyagi

Arindam, one question. Is the smile of yours permanent? Every time I see you, I see you wearing a smile which keeps me wondering if your smile is permanent!! :D If you are what all your friends have said you are ( and I’m sure you are!!), then I salute you, SIR!!! Yours was the only name I knew before coming to Planet-I (mutual friend..who can’t stop praising about you) and I just tried to retain your face in my memory (by looking at your FB pics) before coming. I’m really grateful to you for all your guidance...do keep in touch. Best of luck for your future! Cheers!! :)...MUNMI LASKAR

Paul. You keep calling everyone a Stud. But that title is more apt for you than anyone else. Minimum input and maximum output. Your intelligence is something that I envy. I have no doubt that you are the sharpest mind in our batch. If only, I were half as intelligent as you ï??

I always thought of you as this lazy guy who will not put any efforts to achieve anything. But working with you on Deal proved me wrong.

There were several occasions on which I would draw strength and energy to work on the competition only from your motivation. Working with you and Gola on deal was so much fun; especially the jokes that we shared. I also envy you for your clarity on what you want from life. You are one of the most genuine persons that I have met on campus. I am sure youâ??ll go places with that super sharp brain of yours.

Cheers ! ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Arey apna RIP partner !! this little fellow is hell of a genius, a avid quizzer, big soccer fan. I remember when i first saw him I never imagined that this guy wearing oversized zipper, usually carrying a casual looks would be so damn intelligent. Well you truly deserve that buddy. A great party freak, loves hanging out with friends. We have some memories at gate 2 and trance to cherish for life :) thanks buddy for being a part of this journey. Wish you good luck for your future :) ...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Hey Bharath, You are the coolest secy Mercur-i can ever have ! I always admire the way you listen to other’s problem and always keep your cool. You have motivated me at times when I needed the most.

Working with you was a great experience for me. Hopefully, we can take Mercur-i to greater heights next year. Thanks for being an awesome senior and motivating me ! Two thumbs up to you (y) (y) Courtesy:fb dp ...AKHIL KRISHNAN SHOBA

Bharathhh! I dont think college wouldve been the same without you!

Right from before I even joined, your advice and gyan have been ever so prized. Such a fun person, first term was glorious thanks to you and Shif, taking us irrelevant juniors to the awesomest food places around campus and right from classes to drinking places, your help has been invaluable. And the music, oh the brilliant music that I have grown to like so much all throughout these three terms, you’re by far the awesomest mallu (barring Shifaz) that I’ve met. Always be this chill, kay? :D ...MEHAK SAHNEY

I got to know Bharath as the other guy in Deloitte SAP who got into IIM Indore.. I hadn’t interacted with him much before that.. Last few days at Deloitte we got to know each other better.. you are a fun-loving person.. never takes tension about anything.. i think i can safely say that you would be the person who has passed MBA by attending the least no of classes :P.. an avid Marketing Enthusiast.. Secy of MercurI.. can strike a conversation with anyone very easily.. one of the best Football player on the campus.. keep up the attitude buddy and best of luck.. Cheers!!...Parth Kosada

Bharat!!!A.k.a Sec-xyyyy .... It couldnt have been a better start if you wernt my bakra group mate..... the moment we interacted i knew that you were one chilled out guy more than I am.... you had one aspiration getting into mercuri and you have not only done it but become the secy...... I still remember the dialogue during our Bakra “ This is all Shit Man “..... The way you said it made me laugh that instant.... apart from that you are an amazing footballer and your love for the sport is amazing...... wish you all the success in life.... Cheers Buddy!!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

The hottie and cutie who came for the most random NIT Trichy fest and probably the only reason why I got out of my room to see that fest (read: to check out the new eye candy on campus).. Ofcourse i was excited to go to the same college as you.. Easy to talk to and never once judged me for the crazy things I told him.. this pretty face has a lot to offer than what I thought :) but turns out we had very different “interests” in life.. so didn’t really hang out much.. nevertheless I enjoyed the few times we spent together and hoping there will be many more such random episodes in the future :)Till then..Keep calm and stay high (on life ;)) p.s: I am not going to say the same old you are smart and you were born to be a marketer and all :P i assume all that is obvious from your profile :P...ANJEL JOSEPH

Bharath-a is the pretty boy with the dimple on the outside. A notorious pile of smartness on the inside. It was great fun working on the T-Nite script with you. You made Lungi-Dance famous even before SRK had a chance ;) The next time we collaborated, you were viciously attacked by a group of people in your Utsaha projects group...and then you promptly went and freaked the village belles. I can totally imagine you doing ‘Kajal milega Kajal’ :D I have always witnessed a lot of Bharath moments from afar but all the times I have actually talked to you have been really fun! You are a very dynamic person and you kinda have the effect of Red-Bull on people around you. Have a great time at Google with all the food and the movies and the ‘Oh you don’t have a laptop?Here is a MacBook’ moments... Have fun buddy! ...MONAMI BAGCHI

I still remember the when I all tensed about POR’s took numerous advises from you. And it was next day I got to know that the guy I talked to was Mercur-I SECYY.. :P Thanks for making me feel comfortable in an alien atmosphere. Wished to have interacted with you more on campus but can’t imagine you would be leaving in few days. :( Will miss you.. Good luck and stay blessed :)...SHWETA GANDHI

Hey Bharath! It has been awesome knowing u. Even though we did not really get a chance to interact much, from the few interactions we did have, it was evident that u were one of the most friendly, helpful, polite and cool guys on campus. Always admired your insane marketing knowledge :) Wishing u the best... ...ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

Well, I’ve said this before and say this time and again. Bharath is one of best people I’ve met here at IIM Indore. He’s one of those who’ll make you believe that being chilled out is the solution to every god damn situation on this planet :p Extremely calm and surprisingly brilliant :p, he’z someone who you’d love to hang out with. Being in the Ashwa team, we’ve shared some of the awesomest moments (read ‘THE’ farewell party) at IIM Indore. It was great to have you around.

Looking forward to a lot more ‘highs’ for you in the future! All the best and keep in touch. Keep rocking!...VATSAL KOOLWAL

Well, another Mallu who rocks... One person who could really put his point without making me angry :P I just wish to have known u earlier.. not when the 1st year was more than half way through...The way u make it so easy for a stranger to talk is something rare to find and perhaps one of the biggest reasons for us to become such good friends (atleast I think that :P)... Well, people talk about his cute looks and dimples and I know what reaction I would be getting if he was reading this in front of me... just doing tch tch.... Just to accept one fact that it feels good when u consider me to be good enough a friend to share some things which I know u gen dont talk about... About Treats- There was one promised to me long time back n m still waiting.. :P urs will be in Hyd... :) Cheers! Be prepared to be disturbed every now n then in Hyd :P Be the way u r- COOL that is! :) Looking forward for time in Google!...VIBHUTI AGARWAL

I have never really interacted with many of my college seniors, for sure there were none who I would call as my mentor. As luck would have it, I bumped into you as my POC for resume iteration. From then on you have been a constant source of inspiration, an ever ready guide and a great friend! There are many moments to cherish, from my interviews for the many PORs, the Mercur-I events, the Ashwa team, the Utsaha experience and lots more. You take a clear stand on anything which is worthy of your attention, this is a rarity in the MBA field and this is something I really respect you for. You have succeeded in everything

that you put yourself into, and I am sure that you continue to â??excelâ?? in future also. I hope I can carry on and put to use the many things I have learnt from you, both in college and in life. I wish you all the best for the future. Till our paths cross again, Cheers!...NIMESH BHARDWAJ

Totally chilled out.. Doesn’t take life too seriously which I personally appreciate a lot.. Brainy.. Talks less but talks sense.. Charms girls with his dusky looks and those dimples :P .. Keep having fun and stay the way you are.. A friend forever.. Wish you loads of luck :)...SUPRIYA THUKRAL

Pucha Kada..i know you wonâ??t forgive me for the name. First year went by with Bakra and Branded. Second year is when we started seeing a lot of each other for Mercur-I and you know what. I have told this before but you did a kickass job as a secy, never ever doubt that. You stand up for what is right and donâ??t take bullshit, best thing about you. Mercur-I will always have a special place in both of our lives. Having you by my side made it all the more memorable. Stay chill as a pucha..stay wild as a pussy!...Abhish Nair

Bharath! I like your sense of fairness and the due diligence you bring to work. I had a great time working with you as part of Utsaha and am sure the 5 of us did a good job considering all the constraints we had to work with. All the best for your life ahead :)...ROHINI H

It was probably some random FB post in our Final Converts FB group where I first met Mr. Ganghadharan. The secretary of IIM Indoreâ??s marketing club talking about a dream job working with his favourite football club. I donâ??t know if it was that or the session you conducted during Bakra that felt like an barrel to hold onto in turbulent waters, but I just knew that Mercur-I was something I wanted to be a part of. For someone like me coming from â??nobody has heard of itâ?? college of engineering/ IT company the vote of confidence you gave me when you chose me out of 100s (thatâ??s the number weâ??re sticking with right ;) ) has helped me immensely in not just surviving but thriving in year 1. I know Iâ??ve repaid the faith you put in me over the course of the year and guarantee you that weâ??ll take the club youâ??ve displayed so much love for to even greater reaches! Iâ??m not sure what they really teach here over the course of two years but youâ??ve got the whole man management thing down to a tee. Undoubtedly the best secretary anyone could hope for, your calmness, composure and passion was infectious and you allowed us to be ourselves, take initiatives while always offering a safety net. Iâ??ve probably learnt more about leadership from working with you

than any spiral PGP-O has given. I wish you the best in all your future endeavours, hope you have great people around you to thread you those perfect through balls and to play intricate one-twos with. Just donâ??t be like Arsenal and score at the end of it :D (As we say at Mercur-I, subtlety is appreciated!) May our paths cross again someday in the future, hopefully in rival boardrooms during a London derby. So to cut things short, sorry again about the silver (the colour of mercury if I havenâ??t mentioned it) shirt. Plus I tried but just couldnâ??t get into all the techno and dubstep ï?? Cheers and two thumbs up!...AMIT SUNIL

“If Bharath was to be a digital signal, he would have always been HIGH” - Line 3, Column 1, Page 234, â??Transformersâ??... How can someone be so cool about life? And be so nochalant, yet jump into responsibility with both guns blazing when the time comes? Here is an artiste, cool as cucumber, spends his time between listening to melodies and his phone. But damn when he gets into work mode! How this guy has managed Mercuri is just baffling, I cannot even begin to think about it. ‘Passion’ is wat drives the guy. Now the passion can be directed at a PERSON, THING, EVENT, or a delectable â??ACTIVITYâ??.

Havenâ??t interacted much with him and I regret that. But really enjoyed his company in the last term. Stay as you are. Keep rocking !

You owe me a treat dude...NIKHIL SHARMA

Bharataaa....Gangu....All of 1st term I never spoke to you cos I thought you were this smart but arrogant prick...(not very far from the truth eh) but over time I got to know you...especially lounging around I block..that is when we discovered we have shared interests and life views...it was always fun talking to you...there was always some interesting discussion/story you had to share...we ve come a long way since then...we ve not only partied together but also shared our personal lives and conversations, I remember giving you advice very apprehensivvely and the way you took it..it was refreshing to see someone who could understand and follow the term “agree to disagree”, you have this way of putting your point across firmly without even raising your voice or being rude, you are always calm an still very hyper (can’t sit still this boy), it is amazing how far you go to avoid conflict. It was great working together and also finding someone who had a similar view on certain issues (you know what I’m talking about)...bharatha kickass at google...I cudnt imagine a co more suited for you .....m sure you will eventually be doing some great stuff in sports marketing...we shall definitely meet up in

Mumbai ...see you and all the luck in life :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Hi clone. Think its legit to call you this considering the numerous times we discussed our hopeless similarities. The same laidbackness, total disregard for authority, anti-fresher feelings, work-ex superiority discussions, the talks about a jobless future and the interview/GD awesomeness. But hey, ends up working every time doesn’t it? Nonetheless, I am extremely grateful I got to meet and work with you in this depressing campus. MercurI’s appeal will be hard to maintain without you. Hoping to bump into you in the future sometime and work together again. Keep up the attitude, that’s what makes you. Ill google you up sometime. Cheers!...ANKIT RATNA

Dude, It was fun playing with you. I wanted to write something for you and all I can think of is football (and arsenal). You are a good man and good things happen to good people. Do well and keep in touch :)...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Bharath - It was wonderful knowing you. Your superb work at Mercur-I (such as the ToastMarketers thing) is there for everybody to see. I am sure you will do very well in all things creative. Good luck with life ahead! Keep in touch. ...Chandan Nikhil K

so it seems you already got too many of them... i guess you can definitely take one more :P.... Bharath.... one of the very few people i look towards when i am stuck in some decision making... great guy, very good at heart... very calm and composed.. (except on the football field, where you run like your ass is on fire :P )... great athlete (still i feel jealous for you being in Mercuri... we could have done wonders to sportscom) He will never say no to a friend... I was pleasure knowing you Bharath.. i hope we would definitely stay in touch :)...SUMIT VERMA

Bharath , you do have a leader in you who is apt for these days with modern thinking and good humour...Good luck for life ahead!!!...EETI SANTOSH

AK TH I DEEP

Hey Bhoomi, remember you from the Bansal days as the sincere, studious and brainy Topper (with a capital T). It would be so fitting that AcadCom was one of your PORs on campus :P. It seems that you have become *much* more sociable since then, or it is possible that I didn’t see this aspect because we interacted in the very ghissu environment of JEE coaching. Always thought that you’d do well, and I guess I will be proven right time and again in the future. All the best!...SHREYA TANDON Bhoomi! I guess none of us remembers how exactly I landed up in the extended W7 bakra group friend circle :P Though being a part of the same circle did not continue for long, it was really good while it lasted.

You are one of the few girls who have great sense of humor, which perhaps guys can relate to. Be it that #Logic joke that you used to crack on me or the bitching about rest of the world sessions :P, it was really fun to hang out with you. One of the walks when we shared our respective past stories (not sure if you remember now though) was certainly one of the most candid chats I have had. Surely some of the great times on campus for me was with you, Pallav, Ashish and Kavya in first term. Wish you the best of luck in life, have fun Bhoomi...ISHAN BOSE Bhoomi or Booms as I call her, is one of my best friends on campus.

Sheâ??s one person who I think knows me the most, all my dark secrets included. Sheâ??s someone who I can always rely on and can trouble her whenever Iâ??m happy or sad. Sheâ??s an amazing person, full of fun and joy and never misses even one single chance to pull my leg. I think that just boosts her morale to altogether different

level and keeps her going. But I can say for sure that sheâ??s one person who is very genuine, honest and straight-forward, a rare combination of qualities that are very difficult to find and something I very much like in her. She just speaks her mind freely without feeling the need to be politically correct. Maybe thatâ??s why I respect her and love to hang around with her. Booms, I admire the patience you have shown in listening to my crap and supporting me whenever I required it the most. I always manage to tick you off by cracking some stupid joke but youâ??ve been magnanimous enough to let it go. Not many people know that you are actually a deep thinker and possess mesmerizing thoughts on love, life, friendship and humanity. :P. Iâ??m sure youâ??ll rock at Reliance (Gujju folks afterall) and achieve whatever you aim for. Keep smiling! ...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL Bhoomi is one of my closest friends ever and not just on campus. There are very very few people out there who could claim to know me better than her. Sometimes she manages to get more out of me than I would like to :) But in the end I am glad I had her as my best friend here and my life would have been very different from what it is now if I had not met her. She is one of the strongest person I have ever known and she is very sincere and hardworking though it may not appear up front :P But this is exactly what I like about her, she can manage to have all the fun in the world with the entire campus, gossip around to her heart’s content and be a part of all the little groups and still manage to earn everybody’s trust and more importantly stick to the more meaningful things in life. I have never seen a person more universally loved and cared for and no one would disagree with me if I say she has the most fan following here on campus. :) I was one of the lucky few who got to spend the most time with her on campus and on exchange and I am really glad to be among them. She is very caring, understanding and one of those people who will stand next to you without expecting anything in return from you. There have been times when I have been very difficult but I can’t imagine anybody to be so nice even in those times. I can’t put it down in words how much I will miss her when I leave this place. I wish her all the happiness in life and may all she wishes for herself come true. I can never be more happy for anyone else than I would be for her success and happiness in life. :)...SURABATHUNI PALLAV You were the first person I met from IIM I at Indore airport and we ended up being neighbours because of arriving together. That was a co-incident that I will cherish for life as it gave me an amazing neighbour and most

importantly, a good friend. You are the most amazing person at heart that I have come across. You are a true socialite, easy to get along and a true sport. I have absolutely enjoyed our exchange of gossip sessions. There’s never a dull moment when you are around. I am never going to forget the way you told me about your placement. When I am with you, I know that we are going to have fun. So, just stay the way you are because you are superb and I love you. :)...SWATI VERMA

Bhoomi..Starting from term 1 group member to the so called â??knowledge sharingâ?? sessions, you have been a good friend. Did not get much chance to interact with you towards the end (owing to your business :P), but hope to stay connected. It is always fun talking with you. Keep in touch and wishing you all the success in life.. :)...

PRAKHAR PORWAL There is so much I can say about her but as always, dnt knw where to start. Sitting behind that naive face lies a confident, cute, genuine and fun-loving person. Everytime you will end up admiring her for the effort she puts into evrything. You cnt be bored in her company. She will tease u untill you give up but then I always knw tht i cn count on u fr any issue. She will put you to smile even in the most grim situations (manifesto presentation rembr :D) Endless talks about evrythin, it is worth the friendship we shrd. Tht ill be cherished. Her fondness fr blue colour, chocolates and hatred for cold winters, I rembr. Craving for good food, perfect gujju she is and Bhoomi, I knw u ill be awesome at work too ! To sum up, Idiot she is - the smartest idiot I hv evr known :)...MAYANK JAIN The Gujju CR you are toh. Hardworking person with and an ability to lead from the front. Pulling your leg had become routine in the first year classroom. And yes, I must admit you did revert well at times (Yes, only at times). Delhi internship time was real fun. Punctuality in work is something that I have admired. Keep it up. Wishing you a happy and successful life!...Rishabh Trivedi

Bhoomi has a very peculiar way of teasing people. Light hearted as ever since W7 days...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU Bhoomi knows everything that goes around here on campus. If IIM-I had a daily, sheâ??d be on Page 3 every single day! My first memory of

Bhoomi goes back to the first week at campus after AcadCom selections.

Bhoomi somehow was late for every single meeting that week! Bhoomi was also that person that made the whole Acadcom experience fun for me. She carries herself gracefully, handles things very professionally and is a wonderful person to work with Iâ??m glad our friendship eventually extended beyond Acadcom and that weâ??re headed to the same place.

Your confident nature and your ability to effortlessly be a part of so many peopleâ??s lives will take you places....ANKITA SATIJA

Bhooms! I will never forget the amount I troubled you the week after Bakra with all the “wand” jokes! Yet, you laughed at each at every one of those lame jokes and even started cracking a few as time went on :) You’re awesome! You have to be one of the most genuine people who I know and one of the coolest (if not the most) on campus! PRM was awesome. We had a lot of fun in class and also preparing for the final exam (with Gokul ;)) in which we both got the same marks in the end *hi 5*. I’m not someone who can just tell people anything and everything, but you have been one of the few, to whom I could tell anything! I’m super happy that you’re working in Mumbai too! Here’s to loads of fun to come :) Cheers! Keep being awesome!...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Bhoomi!!!! Though we had a very limited interatction.. I’ve always thought you as a good friend of mine,... At first was surprised and wanted to interact with you coz we share the same b’day :P... latter on found out your a really cool head to hang out with... you have this amazing pleasing smile when ever you pass by....I now feel that I should have interacted with you more. but time passed by and hope to be in contact in one way or the other....Keep sharing happiness and don’t wipe that smile of yours...

Where ever you go have loads of fun!!! Cheers gal!!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY Bhoomi- well-known as the CR of section D ;) and called the “Gossip Queen” by few :D Well I have known you since the very beginning..have had some amazing times in class, during breaks, in section parties, home trips etc. I love you for the fun-girl you are..remember the recent RD parties we had :D And trust me, the amazing gestures you make are patented for you ;) :D Have shared so many laughs together even though most of them were stupid :D I’m sure you will do great in your life ahead :) All the very best for the future.. Stay blessed :) And yeah most importantly stay in touch :) ...POOJA JUGRAN

One of the most adorable people I’ve ever met. Bhoomi is a ‘social butterfly’ who knows everyone. I doubt there’s anything going on at campus which Bhoomi doesn’t know about.. Its because of her amazing ability to talk to anyone and become friends with them instantly. In all my times spent with her, I’ve can’t remember a time I didn’t have a smile on my face from a stupid joke she cracked or something silly she said. On a more serious note, sh’e’s actually very level-headed and ambitious, which when combined with the above traits make her even more awesome.You rock Bhoomi. Let’s have a kickass time in Mumbai. Cheers!!...ADITYA BALARAMAN

Don’t know how it turned the way it has...Wished I could have been a friend that you wanted me to be.. Happy that I have been honest from the start and still am .. will cherish the memories from the first trimester where we all had fun and you enjoyed my bantering rather than getting irritated at a later stage.. wats gone is gone and u have been able to get a group that you wanted.. Happy for u ! Stay cute & bubbly ..as I remember ! :) :)...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

Bhooms, my friend, well wisher and partner in crime ;) If ever I’ve had any problems or gossip, I always knew who is the first one to turn to.

We both can literally get each other in a lot of trouble (if things go out). I don’t think anyone on campus knows me better than you do.

Your valuable advice (though still not implemented :P) have been really awesome. You are the most ambitious girl I’ve ever come across and that’s something I really like about you. In short you’re my Ms. AWESOME. Always stay in touch, ghar to pados me hi hai tera :P I know you’ll rock wherever you go \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

You know how they talk about the best drug dealers.When you need your stuff, irresepective of how many checks and controls are in place, they will always come up with the goods, no matter what.The dealer is Bhoomi and the drug campus gossip. I mean, does Bhoomi find her way to the gossip or does the gossip find its way to her, we’ll never know.But jokes apart, Bhoomi is very caring and simply put is an extremely genuine person and probably that’s the reason why so many people on campus feel comfortable with her,The more time I spend with Bhoomi, the more I regret not having done it earlier.But I do know that the graph is exponential and with every conversation we have, we’ll get closer.Looking forward to a lot of good times in Mumbai !:)...

HARSHVARDHAN V

Bhoomi is one of the most amazing persons that I have come across. She was at the heart of everything for my section (being the CR :P) and I was amazed how she can carry each and everyone with her. She is the GOSSIP QUEEN of the campus and I sometime doubt whether things happen first so she gets to know about them first :P ....jokes apart she is one of the most caring people and a true friend. She is true at heart and would always speak her heart out (though that might have got her into trouble for sure sometimes :P )....I am sure she would be knowing and would have interacted with every single person of our batch...so she will definitely be good at marketing. Always remain the same honest and bubbly person you are! Wishing you all the success in life and keep in touch :)...CHINMAY NAHAR Most bubbly person on campus I think so... Being CR was very popular in 1st year and had to be in the center of everything .... anyways work encroached on personal life and she became the center of informal gossips also .... Like the way of speaking by remaining calm and adding extra words “arey to” etc. Hope you get success in your future endeavors and our friendship becomes stronger and better in future. ...RAVI MAHESHWARI Bhoomi you were the best CR. Had a great time in PGP1 sitting side by side. I particularly remember this one instance when you fell asleep and told me to wake you up when the proff looked your way :-P Stay the way u r and take care of your leg, 2 times is enough :-)...Rajarshi Biswas

One line â?? Section D ki CR tu hi hai. Bhoomi â?? youâ??ve been awesome in terms of handling responsibilities and a lot of fun at the same time. I will not forget the â??drunk Bhoomi comes knocking on everyones door at 12pmâ??. Section-D was fun because of you. All the best for everything and keep in touch!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Bhoomi, I think youâ??re easily the most loved person on campus, and rightfully so. I know very few people who are as genuine and warm as you are. I still remember meeting you for the first time and striking up a conversation like weâ??d known each other all along. Youâ??re just that easy to get along with. With you around, even the most serious person canâ??t help but smile. Itâ??s amazing how you have all the fun in the world while still managing to stay focused and excel at all that you do.

I absolutely love the zeal that you have for everything that you set out to do and that I think is your best quality. Missed having you around in

term 5, especially the corridor chats the four of us have, to which you contribute the most stories. :) Wishing you all the success in life and looking forward to having a great time in Mumbai. Lots of love :) p.s: The Jaysimha incident forms the foundation of our friendship and shall never be forgotten :P ...KAVYA AMARNATH

Booms! How can I forget to write for the one who put the Humpy name on me! :P I would often wonder if there was another dramaybaaz of my calibre. And then she happened. I had no more need to wonder. Between the Bakra night and today, there were a lot of ups and downs between us, sadly more downs than ups. But the fact that Iâ??m writing this for you speaks volumes of my kind-heartedness!

Booms, as she is lovingly referred to, whatte rocky 2 years we have had. Officially, we have shared a love-hate relationship. I love her, she hates me. :P For once, Iâ??ll praise you Booms! You were one of the toppers, and that was taking into account all the time you spent gossiping, madira-indulging and flitting around from ek block to doosra block! Social butterfly (Titli :P) ki definition! I always knew you were good in acads, but working together in Utsaha and Interro showed me you were no less at the practicalsâ?¦ Your knowledge of all things (including football and all the footballers you know of :P ) is amazing!

Youâ??re funny, creative and your laughter is khattarnaak infectious!

Mujhe to bolti hai, tere bhi comments kuch kam nahi hotay booms!

Have had some of the best times with you around, Boseâ??s birthday, your birthday night at Nice with your international BCG member! Still remember that one night in FE where we sat in Paataal with your broken knee having cake, and not many words were said that night! :) And how can one ever forget BCG, urf Bhoomi Casualty Group, yes itâ??s a group, serial heartbreaker that she is! :P I know Iâ??ve said a lot of things that I should not have said, and how I wish I could take all that kachra back now. I honestly regret the fact that we are ending this year just featuring in the same group of friends. Heck, I canâ??t even remember having a proper conversation with you in quite a while (if you take away Interrobang and exchange trip planning). But then, now that itâ??s all over, I hope it still is possible to change that. Hain Booms? :)...

PARTH KAPOOR Hi:-) Met you first for the resume iterations and you have been a great mentor since then. You answered all my silly doubts so patiently every time and helped me throughout:-) . Thank you so much and all the very best for your future :-) Stay in touch :-)...ANKITA

The only person that comes to mind when I think of as the CR of Sec-D is Bhoomi and no one else...khush ho jaa! Gossips mein bahut interest hai ise and somehow has great affinity for the Acad Block stairs :P Apart from being the friendly CR, I will also remember her now as the girl who turned me down (Haha, good luck explaining this to your friends :P)....Wish you all the success in life :)...RUDRASHIS ROY

Bhoooomiiiiiii.. as I always called u..:P U r one of the most fun loving person I have ever met..full of enthu and you can speak and gossip as much as me..:P It was really fun working with u in Acadcom..we used to pull ur legs so much and u always took it sportingly..I will always remember how exciting it became wenever we came in front of each other(the way we used to talk to each other)..n everyone used to laugh.. Wish u all the success in life and do keep in touch..stay the same ever smiling, funny and entertaining person that u are..Cheers !!...SOURABH BAGLA

Bhoomi- one of my recent friends at IIM Indore but met in France :p. We have known each other for very less time but it has been fun with you being around. As you say” Variksh tu mere bina bore ho jaaega”. I like irritating you for your kanjusi( I know the fact that you are very generous and not at all kanjus). Its good to hear all the gossip from you especially about Ashish.hahhah. The trips we had in Europe were great especially to have someone for desserts. I wish you all the very best for your job in Mumbai and you will enjoy Pav Bhaji wherever you live in Mumbai.You were going to give me company during placements, but koi nahi maaf kiya.PS: Alcove treat is pending. ...Variksh Thaker

Bhoomi...I wonder why we kept on thinking about each other that other person is arrogant when the only issue was our lost minds and nearsightedness :P...we became such a good friends during internship and I still have d note that u gave to me on our last day in agrotech..thanks for making me Metro Champ :)....u r very sweet and lovely person...milte rehna in delhi...abhi to bahut saari ghumne ki jagah bhi dikhani hai tune :)...good luck for ur future ahead :)...VAISHALI SHARMA

Bhoomi...the jaan of section D. had it not been you, the section D parties couldn’t have been made possible. The memories of group projects where you as usual free rided :P but would always crib that no one does anything. The times when you pleaded people to believe that i was not single and couldn’t make anyone believe :P. I know who was your source and the special one. Breaking a leg at all time, couldn’t stop laughing how

you did it so consistently. You are one of the sweetest person on campus and I feel lucky to be part of your endeavor at campus. Hope you keep smiling and stop breaking your damn leg :) :P AT for future and wish to see more of you :) ...HARSH RAJ

Bhoomi ~ Though our interaction has been minimal in the past 2 years, it was nice meeting a person like you....Lets hope that our paths may cross again in future....I wish you the very best for your future...

Keep in touch...Cheers!!!!...KARAN RATHOD

BDT (Bhoomi Deepak Thar) you are the best CR and one of the most famous persons I have met at IIM Indore. You remember our group in term 2? Group’s dinner party at Trunal’s room in Married Residence?

And the way we solved our cases - after eating at least one Dimag Ki Goli that Neeraj had? That was undoubtedly the best group I had at IIM Indore and those were the best days. You are so helpful, caring and friendly person. Wish you all the best for the future. Be in touch!...KAUSHLENDRA KUMAR

Booms..so much fun and ever so lively..one item only u r! Right from the days of adapt where we would make fun a certain member whose room would be in pink to letting out the kleptomaniacs in us in the form of sketchpens, it has always been fun with u around. The group work in term 4 with discssions about sweet-tea to the FYI project and conversations about basketballs and spirals (:P) I would cherish these dearly upon leaving the campus. Hope we can meet often to relive these moments and bond over some FYI and sweet-tea :P Cheers! :)...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

Our dearest social butterfly, Bhoomi, is never short of stories to share, things to talk about, or to simply have fun.... I would have been so outdated in terms of campus news had it not been for her ;) One of the most loved ones on campus; she can befriend almost every person with her charm. She’s the one I have been the closest to in this campus - be it for talking, getting advice, taking part in competitions, studying for exams, finding company to hog at the various eating joints at campus, sharing our tensions, or our life problems in general. I really appreciate that you at so many different occasions, have considered me trustworthy to share the things u were initially apprehensive about. Coz at times itâ??s not even about finding a solution but just having someone to hear you out. Booms, you have really been like a

sister I never had. Over the span of time we have managed to learn a lot from each other and not just thinking but even habits... I have, against her wishes, given her my love for a good night sleep while she has managed to induce the gossiping urge in me!! :P Have also shared the most memorable times of exchange with her... the yacht, the pub crawl, the shopping!

Sheâ??s by far among the strongest person I have met who maintains her innocence in almost all situations. Her professional demeanour when it comes to work and her fun loving nature when it comes to outings, both make it worth being around her. I know our jobs might lead us to different locations but we are always gonna be there for each other..luv u Booms <3.. gonna miss u a lot!...NEHA KANWAL

Bhoomi - Our beloved CR. From all the interactions I have had with her she was very fun loving friendly and easy to talk with. Always carries this expression of bewilderment with an ever lasting smile. Never understood how she pulls that off ! :) I’ll never forget the holi incident when you guys banged my door, tore my shirt and dragged me away:o. It was so embarrassing :P Hope to keep in touch :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Bhoomi - The most energetic and the bubbly girl of IIM Indore, the life of Academic Committee. She has a very different way of telling stories, something which makes those stories all more exciting. She has always been a live wire, ever smiling person, full of life. We have shared a great time together with Eshwar, Ankita, Sourabh and Rahul in 1st year; especially in pulling leg of bagla almost everytime whenever we met. :P hehe, I remember we gave you the title of ‘CCR’ - Coolest CR of IIM I.:) It was a pleasure being with you, I wish you success for all your future endeavours. Keep smiling and be in touch! :)...PRAKARSH AREN

Bhoomi, Bhoomz is by far the biggest gossip monger I have come to see and I believe that is where we get along so well. There have been times when I have approached you with a super gossip and realise that you are already aware of it....:P. You are innocent, you are sweet and definitely the most loved CR on campus. That typical laughter of yours, those typical hard-to-ignore hand gestures while you talk, that typical way of your writing ‘Hahaaa...” is something I’ll miss the most. I agree we haven’t talked much in these 2 years but the awesomest part about you is that whenever we have met we have talked like some great buddies. Be as lively and cool as you always have been. Stay in touch. Cheers...:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Booms... It was truly fun taking your case! Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

You are a simple, cute and outgoing girl. I have always seen you smiling and laughing. We met during the first month itself and have become friends since then. We talked about so many things, the gossips which you kept on bringing and also which I kept on supplying to you :p You are very active and lively in whatever you do. I have told you lots of my stories but too many are left to be shared with you.

We’ll plan someday to share the rest. You are an awesome person and can change the atmosphere around you. Its always fun to hang out with you. Wish you all the best for your personal and professional life.

Stay connected :)...Tushar Gupta

Bhoomi -I just love the way you call me Loops, loopi, Lopae’ etc. But then I make up for it by calling you Thoringer, Thor, Thoranasaurus... haha!! On a serious note, you’re a very sweet girl, and you always have that awesome smile whenever you’ve met me. I still can’t help but laugh at the many times we’ve done something stupid like bitch and shout someone’s name loudly in the mess when the person is sitting right besides us on the same table! and how you typically have that slap action of yours! Ohh how can I forget the typical HAHA on group chat, and sometimes gets extended to a HAHAAA if you’re laughing really hard. Stay the same Bhoomi, you’ll definitely ace everything you get into! Cheers...Raoul Lopes

Bhoomi! My friend! Is it true that our 2 years of being together and being awesome is coming to an end? It all started thanks to Neha Verma, and then I donâ??t think I can ever forget the endless time we have spent together â?? gossiping, fighting, dancing, playing FIFA and do what not! I really canâ??t imagine my life here at IIM I without her.

She is very caring, sweet, friendly and obviously charming ;) She is always willing to lend a helping hand to others and which is why we couldnâ??t have asked for a better CR than her. I feel so lucky to have met her and I hope our un-breakable bond of friendship gets further strengthened in the future :D I am sure her hardwork and dedication will make her achieve greater heights in the future and I wish her all the best for all her future endeavours. Be in touch and keep rocking as you always do! :)...AJITESH MEHTA

There is a certain playfulness about you which makes you intriguingly

bubbly. There is a certain aggression about you which makes you overtly expressive (been on the receiving end of it in summers GDs :P). You are truly a multidimensional person. Though we haven’t interacted much, I will always remember you as a sweet charmer who loves to giggle :P..

Looking at the innate drive you have in you, you are set to go places. Keep smiling :) ...APAL

Chirpy..bubbly..supportive..and fun to hang out with! Our Traffic Police IV along with street food hogging was so much fun with you..Beautiful, childlike & kind..always remain the wonderful person that you are... Wishing you an awesome life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Bhoomi- the chick with chicken legs :P Hehe... You are such a sweetheart.. Have always enjoyed each and every moment spent wid you. I seriously wonder why the hell was I scared of you for the first year.. Love yu always.. Will always cherish our A block and trance ki memories.. And will always hate you for acting like a complete IPM student that day... :P Bechara singhu.. :P Hehee.. Love love love... :D ...EKTA AGGARWAL

Awesome BDT...you always look inquisitive...and that’s how I think you get hold of all the gossips of the campus :P The way you brush aside comments and questions with your standard remark “Kuchh Bhi” really ends the argument (in your favour, of course). I’ll fondly remember the way we did assignments in 2nd term with minimum effort (you ensured it somehow :P). Your friendliness really helps people to talk openly. Keep rocking...but be careful with your legs...Section D junta will always remember you as a CR who turned langdi twice for a few days. Wish you all the best!!...NEERAJ KUMAR

Bhoomi. I still remember that girl speaking in slight Gujju accent during Bakra and free-riding even then. Just kidding! You are one of the chirpiest / liveliest persons I have met. One can never have a dull moment around you. On a more personal level, you stood up for me even if it required you to go against a lot of people. That meant a lot to me. Most of the people think of me as this mature guy who carefully measures what he has to say.

I am sure you will differ on this. You are like the sounding board of all my crazy, angry, stupid thoughts. Youâ??ve known me better than anyone else on this campus. And this could prove to be quite dangerous when you get drunk! I shared the best experience of my life (read exchanged program) with you. Every moment was truly memorable including the gazillion fights that we had. Trust me, if it had not been for Pallav either of

us would have returned earlier :P On a more serious note, you are stronger than most of us. Yet at the same time, most gentle and caring. Thank you for being there. And yes, you are my best friend on the campus ï?? ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Bhoomi is like the most fun person to hang out with in this campus!

We became good friends very late during our summer internship, and since then i have always enjoyed talking to her. We discuss all sorts of crazy stuff, about relationship issues etc. and i have gained some really useful ‘insights’ about relationships from her! :D She really has this unique power of getting her knee hurt while on the run from otherwise harmless dogs. Also, her power of articulation with her hands is unparalleled!! On a serious note, I am really amazed with her ability to balance work and fun in college and achieve laurels in whatever she pursues. I don’t know when she actually studies because we used to make study plans together before exams but the results were very apart from each other! :P I wish we always keep in touch although we’ll be working in different cities now :)...NITIN VERMA

Bhoomi! My gossip girl..I have always had really amazing discussions with you be it love life, campus gossips, praising each other :p but let me tell you that you are actually cute and adorable..i can never get bored with you. Will always keep in touch with a loving friend like you.. hope to spend some more time together and party hard in Mumbai!

Wish you luck for future :)...SONAKSHI SAINI

Bhoomi - Will definitely miss you for the delicious pastas you used to make :P But seriously I had a real good time with you on exchange. “I am impressed” by your unique ability to make friends out of complete strangers in such an effortless manner (me included :P). Your caring and affable attitude makes you a natural buddy which I am sure those around you cherish and treasure. This post would be incomplete if I were to not thank you for the “update sessions” you conducted during Reims. Hope I get one of them before I leave campus. Wish you good luck in all your endeavours....ARCHIT JAIN

ANYA CHAIT T LELE AN YESHW

CLT20!!! I think I first met you in the bus on the way to campus from Mumbai. And since then, its always been an awesome experience talking to you. The mendi-coats, poker games till 3 AM in the bus, will miss all those things!! Hope you have a great future, professionally and personally!...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

The First IV together. First Flirt With HR. The Awesome Food at piramal. The awesome Time at IV i will cherish forever. Not to mention your German girlfriend. Happy GS and Awesome trading in your life ...SRIKANTH BALMOORI

There is something quite obvious about geniuses that makes you look up to them in awe and admiration. The exact phenomenon takes place every time Mr. Chaitanya shares his wisdom in class. The first time I interacted with you was when you mailed me the pre-admission material when I converted IIMI...I remember going through your profile then and being ‘Whoa!!’..’Kitnaa aata hai isko!’. 2 years down the line and it is still my reaction! On one hand you are this gyaan ka toofan and on the other hand you are an encyclopedia when it comes to the ‘pop-culture’ references you mentioned! :D So that’s a pretty awesome combo there. Cheers to the 2 years spent here and hope you go places in life!!! It is going to be legen...wait for it.... ...MONAMI BAGCHI

Genius Quizzer...Loved every moment of partnering in Quizzes with you...I was absolutely shocked when u guessed “Show must go on “ answer in one of the quizzes...How on earth..!! When it comes to Math you are absolute Beast... Discussing Cricket with you was one thing I liked the most..Whether it was Indian Domestic Cricket or the

anecdotes from English County I had found someone to push my trivia..!!

Proper fit to be in an Investment Bank...Goldman Sachs should be proud of u...Keep up the good work and wish you all Luck.. ...SUMANTH J

Still remember the scary mail which you sent on the first day before resume building process. I pictured a tough strict guy on the other end of the table but you were very nice to all of us. I really appreciate all the efforts you put in building my resume and other help whenever possible. Really found a great mentor and a great helper in you. hope to continue the friendship for a long long time. :) ...KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA

Lele is this Finance wizard who sits on the last bench, reads novels in class time and case-mat in the mean-time. His sporadic CPs during PGP1 were generally so insightful, most people were left with an ‘awwww..’ on their faces.:) A friendly guy, who’s very hard-working, an enthusiastic quizzer and always sport about jokes, whether aimed at him or someone else!!

Goldman had to happen and everyone knew it much before it actually ‘happened’. You deserve many more great things and will achieve those, I’m sure. Best wishes for life mate, stay in touch. May God bless.:)...Vishal Vyas

A fellow Marathi, although we have hardly talked in Marathi. You were a worthy member of the back benchers club and shared many laughs during PGP-1. Itâ??s incredible to see that you know so many things and this is no secret that you are a really good quizzer. I am not going to forget that only we two had finished an entire bottle of Johnnie Walker during the 4th section party :-P. All the best! ...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL

You are one of the most intelligent persons i have come across. You possess that rare combo of working hard in what you want to do and being fun at the same. That chat we had after the result and the one after the section party will always be remembered. Thanks a lot for all the advice that you have given me over the times and u will always remain to be a mentor and a guide throughout. Wish you all the very best for your future ahead and do stay in touch :) ...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Lele (as we fondly call him) is a fin-man on campus. Ask him any doubts in fin and he’ll gladly answer those. Infact he is one of the most knowledgeable guys I have come across on campus.He is a very chilled out and fun-loving guy. He is fond of eating outside. He loves to network with people. We have spent some really great times on trips, normal outings, chit-chatting on campus, etc. It was great knowing you. All the best!

...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

Lele- I was in awe of your intelligence right since our Summer Placements. You literally had only one chance and you’ve made it count.

You’ve always made some of the most relevant CPs in class which has made everyone look up to you. We’ve been together on several Group Assignments and I still remember the amount of hard work you put in our SM-II Presentations; you single-handedly impressed the Professor. We’ve had lot of fun together as well, be it the many night outs or RIP or section parties. But, I will always remember you with the song- ‘Jiya, Jiya re, Jiya re!’ :P Always be this fun guy; don’t become a boring banker. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Lele was one of the most well read and intelligent guys of our class.

Also the founding member of the prestigious Brain Trust :p You could discuss almost anything with him and he would have some idea about it. He is a very rational Chelsea fan which is rare to find too :D All the best for ur life at Goldman and beyond :) ...Deepak Talluri

Investment banker, great communicator, well read quizzer, intelligent CP maker, hardcore football fan, and overall a genius! Whoa, Madhushri ne sahi pehchana tuje-Apha Male :P What i like most about you is that you are a balanced person, extremely selfless and ever ready to help and even more ready to party! You are a truthful & honest person, you do not hesitate calling a spade a spade, and given what a lucid speaker you are, you do so with great elan and poise! You are a gem of a person and a most genuine friend! Be it assignments or competitions or parties or bakar, you are a great company! Your patented ‘kya bol raha/rahi he’ and ‘kya bakchodi he’, Fin mentoring, playing poker, offering gyan & advice, and overall your genuine friendship and concern..you are a valuable asset to everyone’s life that you touch! Badde banker banke humein bhool na jana :D...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Lele-first year was so much fun with you sitting behind me and we used to be such a pain for the profs. You are undoubtedly very intelligent and quick grasper. We have worked together on so many assigments but I can say this for both of us-willingness to work on those meaningless assignments was never there and that’s one of the many things we have in common. Football is one of the things that brought us together and it will be fun to watch a game sometime together again like we did at Charlie P’s. This testimonial would be incomplete

without mentioning the adventures of Europe-Barcelona (you know why) and skydiving deserve a special mention! Wish you the best for the future and keep in touch! ...KUSHAL JAJOO

Got to interact the first time at Sec C party!! It was really good getting to know u....a man with a purpose u were and are...It made me really happy when u got into GS not coz its a great firm pays big bucks etc etc....but coz u got what u wanted.... A chilled out guy with great knowledge of not just finance...Its was always fun to hang out with you...may be we’ll get some more rounds... :) Keep that focus n chill attitude intact....I’ll always find you lest you forget :P :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Carefree!! Always has a smile on his face and never really seems worried about anything. You have a calming influence on people. But this is almost like a mask to the mean finance guru that lies behind. You have an excellent knowledge about things and to be so humble despite your achievements is admirable. Always be this way and keep in touch!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Lele is the ever-happy, ever-chatty guy you wish you found more often.

Always ready to lend a hand in times of need, and always up for a good conversation. If only you were not a Chelsea fan, you’d be a lot more cool.

Not implying you aren’t now, not at all. I see you going places in life. All the best! :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Yo lele! :) Still remember the day when we met in Rendezvous for a skit performance and you became a professor! :P You look like a lazy person but you are very well read and your finance knowledge is for everyone to see when you were the only one to convert GSAM in summers! :D (that too for a person coming from TCS :D ) Had some fun trips on exchange too :) wishing you all the best !! cheers :)...RAHUL YADAV

You are one of the brightest people here. Your taste in books is both admirable and courageous (i have only seen you with fat, intelligent books). We have had a really great time together in RIP and also on campus. Random time pass in mess, Poker,Uno, I’ll remember them all. I admire your taste in music lot and your aptitude for quizzing is impressive. You are also fun loving and a highly energetic person when it comes to partying hard, you know how to make every moment count. Stay the same. Hope great things come your way! :)...RAJNI RANJAN

A very focussed person as he seems to be and very knowledgeable too. Calm and composed. Only one to convert GS in summers - speaks a lot about him. Heard a lot about your Eurotrip experiences specifically Oktoberfest :P .. Keep having fun ;) .. Have a great future.

Good luck :)...SUPRIYA THUKRAL

Chaitanya converted the very first shortlist he got in summers in the very first slot and got a PPO. Period. There goes he as a performer.

Apart from this, he is also a very ardent football fan and does whatever he enjoys in life. Very helpful towards friends. It is due to him that I even gathered courage to write a never-before-heard exam called CFA. He helped a lot. All the best for your future life! :-)...DEBAYAN BISWAS

Chaitanya was one of the first people I got to know in class due to his popular and vocal CPs for which he was an instant hit in Section-C. A hardcore fin guy who has both great knowledge and excellent presentation skills.. That apart, he has also been sincere in visiting the gym and working on his body weight (the effects of which we are yet to see :P ) It was great getting to know you and hope you achieve all the success.. lets catch up in Bangalore over weekends :) ...ANANTH G S

Awesome buddy, a person with whom you can party all day and night.

We bond over several things - right from booze to our love for Chelsea.

You are intelligent, smart and always have valid arguments to make.

Your depth of knowledge is quite commendable. Have spent some really amazing time with you on campus. You are also acclaimed to be pseudo i-block person. Wish you all the best for Goldman and keep on partying hard :)...Tushar Gupta

Ever the fun loving, carefree and chilled guy, Lele is also one badass finance guru. The clarity in his concepts is evident from how effortlessly he is able to explain it. One of those rare people whose CPs make sense every time! Had fun playing mendikot and judgement with you on the bus journeys. Best of luck for the future and stay in touch :)...SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI

Chandan held the most important and the toughest responsibility on campus, and I feel he did justice to it at the best of his potential. The nature of his POR didn’t allow him to enjoy on the campus like other guys. I haven’t had the opportunity to interact with him much, and it would be the same with all but 13 people in the batch. Yet his charisma, personality, communication skills, confidence and down-to-earth nature stand out loud. Wish you all the very best for your life....VAIBHAV JAIN A true gentleman...!! I got help from you whenever I needed. You were gentle and calm whenever I talked to you, and helped me out in so many issues I faced in initial days in my internship inTata Steel.. Wish you luck and great success in Life...!!...SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

Chandan is one of the most diligent and committed people I’ve come across, given the complex and demanding nature of his responsibility on campus. I’ve been lucky to have worked with him over the past year, and I’ve learnt a lot through the interactions. Cheers man to a great future!...Raoul Lopes Chandan!!! it was a pleasure knowing you..... A perfect role model for the future batches I could say..... you are an extremely talented individual with an amazing skill set... the calmness and the composure that you exhibit are unmatchable..... Respect Buddy!!!! Cheers

man!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Chandan Nikhil Kulkarni- I remember you saying that we won’t write testimonials and all, but we’ll stay in touch! I never really interacted with you in the first year, but you were always someone whom I admired and respected. Well, as it turns out the batch also thought the same as you ended up having the highest ever vote count. While working with you over the past one year in the committee, I’ve learnt a lot more about and the many qualities you possess. You are a perfectionist, your need for Perfection has driven me mad several times, but slowly I’ve tried to learn from it.

You are one of the most hardworking persons I know and that combined with your intelligence and excellent communication style makes you an ideal choice for a leader in any organization. The way that you talked and the logical nature of arguments was always something which I tried to learn. You are incredibly practical and your knowledge on topics as varied as HBS articles to Indias history is truly astounding. I hope you loosen out a bit in the future and just let it go sometimes. Keep in touch. Have a great life! Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

I am just very glad that I got the opportunity to work with a person who I am very sure is going to be a world leader few years down the line. More than you need it, this world needs a dynamic leader like you CNK. And I mean it! Over the two years of working with you, I have learnt a lot from you. Many times, I have just been in awe of your great communication skills, your eye for detail, your ability to see the not-so-obvious( remember the Bitching task :P) , your taste in books,movies and food and your diverse knowledge about everything under the sun. Sir Chandan Nikhil K , I thank you for being a part of my IIM Indore Journey . I hope my future bosses turn out to be as cool as you are :) All the very best for the life ahead! united Nations awaits you :)...SONAKSHI BEHL

Chandan - one word to describe him - Respect; All the best for a great career; Have a great life;...VIGNESH A P

Sir Chandan, I remember the first time we met during the JPC process. We were given this task of making a PPT. I can very well recall your calm and cool nature when all of us were sweating coz of the deadline. You were just happily sitting and doing your work calmly. The next funny memory I have of you was at JAM just before the SPC process. I was kinda empathizing with the shitty life you guys had in junior placom. And just after a few days the tables turned and it was your turn to mock me. :P I think

this last one year has been terrific. We’vee had our shares of ups and downs as a team but we have always emerged stronger, thanks to your maturity and calm nature. I always appreciated the way you presided over our team meetings and led them to definite conclusions.

The betterment of the batch and the institute has always been your top priority,natural traits of a natural leader. So just stay the way you are and I’m sure you will be very successful at whatever you do. All the best for the life ahead! Do stay in touch always! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL The calm expression that u always carry on ur face is the first thing that I’ll always remember about you! :) A very well deserved placom secy!

Hv a grea life ahead bro...stay in touch :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

I remember the quiz which we took part together and that you mentioned that sports was not your strong area, but you were answering the toughest of questions so brilliantly that I was really amazed at how well read you were. Since then I have thoroughly enjoyed our discussions that we have had, but I have always wondered how our interactions would have been different and frequent perhaps, if you were not in Placom. I personally think that you have done a wonderful job as the secy, and I am pretty sure you will do great things going ahead :) ...Deepak Talluri Chandan - I believe I’m one of the few people on campus who spent so much time with him and know him enough to be friends for life. Apart from spending time right from the JPC days to him being our secy, part of the team and so on, we connect on so many other things. I’m sure he’ll remember the time when the JPC results were announced and I hugged him (which kinda shocked everyone around) because I knew I wanted to work with this guy. But for the name I knew nothing about him but was dead sure I want the experience of working alongside him. Looking back at all those great times we had it has been a wonderful journey for me. I can relate so well to him, He liked things to be done the right way (fair way), always in the mood for a hint of sarcasm, a thorough movie buff. We spent so much of our time discussing movies and I finally met my match (thought I was an ace in that area). I learnt so many things from him. Every conversation I have with him is intellectual in different ways. I’m sure people know him as a leader, hardworking, honest dedicated guy. But, one would realize there is so much more to him once they start talking to him. A guy with

a witty sense of humor. This guy will have my respect and love all his life.

Will keep in touch :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Chandan- I liked partnering in quizzes wtth you not only because it increased the odds of success but I wanted to learn your way of thinking.

The way you cracked some of the quiz questions were amazing, Pretty much Sherlock types where you connected all the hints with your existing knowledge. Other than quizzes I think we had few very interesting conversations on Movies, Documentaries and Sports over tea and I thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. The composure with which you handled a responsibility like Placcom Secy is commendable. Your communication skills are fabulous ( I am not talking about batch meets here but I liked the way you overshadowed SACC in a meeting where you expressed some changes you wanted to bring to the working of other committees). I think you are someone who wasted money on MBA ( Boss, You had the right skills to take up leadership position from day one ). I wish you will realize your full potential and lead an organisation one day. Stay in Touch, ATB.!!

P.S: Please inform when you come to Bangalore next time, Gottu sweep some KQA quizzes..:)...SUMANTH J

A gem of a person, hard working and one of the few persons in the campus I admire the most. A placom secy and yet very down to earth person.

Had the highest number of votes during elections and was a clear cut favourite of the entire batch. Wish you good luck for your future endeavours buddy :) ...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

When someone gets more than 75% of votes you can be rest assured of his caliber and his fit for the position. Chandan has definitely taken the most arduous task on the campus and done full justice to it. A person with great charisma and composure. Wishing you the very best for your future life aheadâ?¦...ABHIKET GAURAV

All the best! Keep in touch :) ...BHASKAR MANDELIA

Chandan - A name in the campus which does not need any viewpoint in

terms of dedication, hard work and passion. He is the most respected person in the campus for his values and down to earth nature. I enjoyed his company during our FMCG group project and some of the classes of Toastmasters. Working with him was inspiring and I learnt the value of time and dedication towards work. He is very supportive, cooperative and friendly in nature. I always aspire to become a leader like him. Thanks Chandan for the support and your friendly behavior towards me. Wish you all the best for future. Be in touch!...KAUSHLENDRA KUMAR

Always calm, always very composed.. It was truly a great experience working with you on the junior team of Toastmasters.. Though I always think you left me in the wake but then I would be kidding myself if I expected otherwise... I admire your work ethic and I think you gave up a lot for the batch.. Though we always kept a distance in second year, I think i never hesitated in approaching you with weird requests...

And ya, though we had planned to make the Toastmasters pay for the membership and all to keep us interested, its very different when your responsible for it... Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

Chandan - You are the best secy ever - Calm and Composed are the two words that goes with you. Period. And you hve been an inspiration to many. It was an amazing experience working with you. Saale,I will miss our discussion about changing the whole IT world at such a detailed level. I knw you cnt go wrong at any moment with your focus on finer details and cautious approach ( Some that which troubles the impatient soul in me) . Rembr those JPC tr8s at alcove and your levelheaded personality putting a lot of facts all along . I know you will go places and the world is gonna see a CXO in you soon . Or as I say sometimes, chuck all these f**in corporate tantrums - Let’s do something of our own :) ...MAYANK JAIN

Our interaction has been limited to the SAC meetings and it has been a pleasure and matter of great fortune to have had this experience.

Your ideas and intentions are like lighthouses, guiding the way. Would always regret that we could not implement your vision and dream (for the affiliates), however your influence has definitely made us put in extra effort for the institute. Needless to say, you are going to be a great future leader! Kudos....RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Having known Chandan since registration at IIM Indore, I can admit

that he symbolizes idealism, professionalism and ethics for me. He has such composure, and he was the obvious choice to take up the unbelievably demanding position of PlaCom Secretary, and it comes as no surprise that he has pulled it off remarkably well. He is looked up to by so many on campus, and he will continue to be looked up to, wherever he decides to go in life. We’ve had a number of discussions over our time here, and I envy the clarity of thought Chandan possesses. All the best, Chandan. Thanks for the super person that you are, and the super work you’ve done for IIM Indore. The world needs more like you....BHARATH GANGADHARAN

The most deserving and down to earth person ever, Chandu is a role model for many like me, who try and emulate him at every step in life. Have to learn a lot from him, and I’m sure it’s going to be the toughest job to live up to the expectations that have been created by his sheer awesomeness.

Have a great life ahead and I’m sure we’ll be in touch!...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

You personify dedication, hard work and commitment...saw it during the process wherein I had the opportunity to interact with you...all the best for your future ...CHIRAG ARORA

I sat beside him for an entire first year... god bless me :) I still remember everyone turning around when he used to speak...and it used to make me conscious :P.... never saw such a clarity of thought in my life... self righteous, very well composed, down to earth guy and still very confident... you will rarely find these combinations together :).... IIM Indore is blessed to have a leader like you chandan.... all the best bhai and yeah keep in touch.... it was great knowing you :)...SUMIT VERMA

Chandan, I have known you well right from first term.. the space here is not sufficient to describe ur professionalism at work and ur commitment.. u have been a wonderful secy over the last one year and proved us all right that you were the best man to do the job.. A big salute for that :) Not many ppl get to know chandan at a personal level.. but i do to an extent :P You are an amazing guy to get along with.. i can remember the umpteen number of discussions we had.. be it abt insead, tesla or the more recent VCB :) Thanks for all the wonderful moments we had.. i will surely be missing a gem person like you.. All the best dude for your career & life :) :) Stay in touch and keep smiling as always :)...SIMPSON SELWYN

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about you is respect. I have a lot of respect for your professionalism and I must say I have personally learned a lot from the way you work. You have an extremely ethical bent of mind and I have never seen it relent in the past year and a half. I know at least a half a dozen fans (female ;-)) for your leadership qualities on campus. The level of effort and commitment you showed towards our committee work was immense and motivating. There have been multiple occasions when the arguments went sour between us I guess both of us share a similar set of qualities (INTP) and I too hate to relent on my stand. I thoroughly enjoyed the professional relationship working with you as a part of the team. It is probably because of the difference in prior experience that I couldnâ??t relate to you as a friend; I hope I would in future. You have a bright career ahead, all the best!...ARUN B

I’ve enjoyed our conversations and picking your brain on different subjects. You’re an excellent quizzer, a very good speaker and most importantly a good friend. Your clarity of thought and ambition will take you very far in life. Best of luck for whatever lies ahead :)...ADITYA BALARAMAN

REAL LEADER....I appreciate your unbiased nature and distributive justice!!!You are going to become the youngest CEO for a fortune 500 company!!YOU ROCK!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Met you during Placom process and it has been a sheer pleasure working with you during JPC. The discussions we had were indeed memorable ones and something I have truly missed. As a Secretary you did a very tough job effortlessly. Wish you all the very best! Do remain in touch....ARCHIT JAIN

Chandan was my first friend on campus and was the only friend for the initial few weeks in PGP1. It was always a pleasure to sit outside our rooms and discuss issues on various topics ranging from philosophy to history. I wish we were in the same block this year too. After attending Rendezvous, one of my friends at Tesco had asked me if I had found anyone remarkable at the meet. Though I hadn’t spoken to you much then, I had instantly told him about you. Probably it’s your calm and composed demeanor that make you stand out. You were the best Placom secy we could have asked for. I have seen very few people show such commitment, especially when it comes to “public

office” (if I can call PlaCom a public office). I am sure you will be one of the most successful people from our Institute. All the best! ...ALOK GANESH HEGDE Chandan, For PGP-1s you are the person whom they need to fear.. Ahh wat a speech u gave in the first placement batchmeet... very few people have that kind of command on 450 people.. People look at you in awe and respect and the fear generates out of it.. Though I didnt have a chance to interact with you much, I wish I should have worked with you.. There are lots of things to learn from you.. Hope in future I get such a chance.. All the best and good luck!!!...Aditya Kharbade

We got along really well for those 2 months in Noida (the super lazy weekends)! Remember those long walks back from office, the varied topics of discussion (at least half of them somehow revolved around data :)) and how us non-chicken eaters had to fend for ourselves! Your work ethic used to piss me off to no end (remember me swapping pillow direction cuz of the lights were on at night? I guess you knew this :P) An absolutely incredible sense of playing fair! The kind I’m not sure I will get to see much of later in life...Will never forget the support you gave me regarding my decision post-internship esp. when only you could understand why I did what I did! I’m sure we could’ve kicked ass as colleagues too! :D I wanted to keep this short but when have you known me to not drone your ears off? ;) We’re definitely staying in touch bro....Avinash Chidambar

Talluri k a p e De

Boss tussi great ho!!! You know the funny part is we interacted the entire year and i havent even met you personally :p The only time i saw you was when you were giving presentation on presentation skills :p Lekin boss i dont think i would have made it big without your help.

All the help you provided in terms of tips for VC and Company work helped me to reach somewhere. You have really been a silent helper and an awesome mentor. Really cherish your help and the conversations we had. Thanks for being that senior which everyone desires!!

Do keep in touch because i aint gonna let you go without removing all the information from you and i guess a lifetime is still less for it....

KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA Here is a guy with so many ‘sources’. Here is the only one guy I have seen getting Four-of-a-kind in a poker game. Here is a guy who is wellknown for his excel sheets:-D Unfortunately, we didn’t interact much in PGP-1; although from the moment I met you, I had created a position of ‘Fin-Guru’ in my mind and crowned you with that. Later you proved me correct with a job in DB and wins in Deal and Blizzard :-).

But it took term 4 onwards for me to realize that you are a very good friend to hang-out with. I used to think that I watch too many TV series; but you watch way more than I do. And it was really fun revealing some of the storylines to you and I hope to continue this in future:-D. All the best and keep in touch in Mumbai! ...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL TS! We didn’t get the chance to interact much man! I thought you were a super-ghissu cuz come on, fin guy and all :P And man, can you keep a secret!? Day -1! :) Bugger... Or at least you can keep a secret when it matters eh? :P Stay in touch man, like I said the time we’ve hung out is too little to know how kick ass you are (and how kick ass I

am too eh :P) HAHAHAHA :D Cheers buddy!...Avinash Chidambar It has been a very strange connection. Long before we entered the campus, we had already planned what all we would be doing here. It was you who introduced VC to me and together we decided to try our best to get into it. Our choices were common. It was not before that omission of our names from DB workshop that we met. And what a night it was with placom :P Our days during the internship are forgettable. After every company shortlist, we used to call each other and expressed our concerns. Then, ironically, we got our internship in the same company. And who can forget those Mumbai days. There are many good/bad memories attached to it. And then, if co-incidences didn’t stop to occur, we both made into DB in a highly dramatic way. Why only we two? And now again, back to Mumbai. The strangest thing is that even after so many incidents together, we have hardly talked at length. :D So to put this togetherness: VC->Finstream->DB. Let’s see what future holds for us now ;) All the very very best for your future, may you be successful wherever you go :)...

VAIBHAV JAIN Talluri! Am sure some day you will receive the “most admired customer” award from the Microsoft Excel team :P It was while working on our Marketing2 case submissions is when I realised marketing has numbers too :P now that I think about it, maybe it is the number patters you make while you talk or listen :P ..I think the number of competitions you have won speakes volumes of your intellect and your are someone who is always there to help his friends in need :) Keep in touch and all the best :)...

ROHINI H He’s a friend you can count on, except when you want your group assignments done :P. No matter how much he tries to make fun of you, deep down, he’s a caring friend who’ll take more interest in your life, than you yourself will, in a good way of course. He’s usually busy with the endless excel assignments he has burdened himself with. He is in a way an oracle, perhaps the most informed person on campus. However, he uses all the information only to help others, which is really commendable! From the first study group, when we learned about our common admiration for Sherlock Holmes, our friendship only grew. I cannot thank you enough for the immense help you provided me with during placements, and at many other occassions. Wish you all the best in your endeavors. Enjoy life, take risks, and if possible, some decisions too! Don’t worry about age, you are still young at heart :P ...RAJNI RANJAN

Clever, Friendly, Grounded. A rare confidant in life. I have seen so many good things in you but one clearly stands out all the while: Brutal honesty. Though I have expressed my displeasure at your opinions many a times I always knew that you had the best intentions for me. I think I have had most of number of discussions on campus with you.

I will remember every one of them even if you forget. I might have asked you to change a million times before but believe me as I type this I know you are good as you are. Don’t ever change. Always be the nice guy blushing and doing few dance steps on teasing. Go rock the Finance World. Wall Street beckons!!! :) ...SUMANTH J ayyo! what on earth! here goes my lame attempt in writing one for you...! Two things somebody from PGP 12-14 would remember deepak for. One..your ability to track the placements who went where and what are they offered. Two...your excel prowess (no matter what you say...excel point is not going down :P) But there are other things which strike me as a part of your personality...you have been extremely trustworthy, a true confidante, a good friend and always always a good motivator. Your uncle type personality shall truly be missed. Wish you all the very best for a bright future :) ...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA If one wants to know about any happening around the college just go to Deepak! Before second year, this is how I knew you. But I got to interact with you most during the last two terms and realized that apart from your admirable networking skills and your expertise in excel (:P), you are a very helpful and caring person. You are a great friend to have. Thanks for all the help and support you gave when I needed the most. I wish you all the best for future, you truly deserve the bestâ?¦do keep in touch :)...SONICA GUPTA Excel Bhagvan!! Football lover and Nocturnal person. An avid TV series viewer. I came to know about many TV series because of you. I always remember your trademark pose while using laptop. I see the laptop more on your stomach than on table and legs on table :). Apart from that, you are the one who sticks to ur goals and sincere in achieving those. You are the one with whom I interact well in our block. Even though I am not easily approachable, you have been a great friend and support to me. Thank you for that. I used to come to know about happenings in the college through you and I spread to others ;). You are very polite, friendly and humble. Very happy that you got where you wanted to be. Hope to see you in some great position. Maza maadi and

Sigona :) ...SURESH MALLULA Deepak- You are someone who came her with a dream of doing only Finance; you had to face a lot of rejections here and had to go through a lot, but in the end everything fell into place for you. You are the perfect example if you are hard-working and focused, you are bound to have a happy ending. I still remember how you had had the daring to tell Jayasimha Sir that you are interested much more in Finance and not in Marketing, and how much you had to suffer because of that. We’ve gone together on RIP and HOP and there are some very fond memories we share. You will always be the Tresurer in any future trips as well which we take. Keep in touch. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE The best time we had: Summer Internship (haha) . I still remember us three going to office facing the so called elites of the premier B-school of the country. And then there were the daily trips to Simply Delicious introducing you to Curd Rice. Hoping to have that time once again at Mumbai.

Wishing you all the success in life.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL U are one crazy liverpool fan that i had come across.. I got to know much about our history from you oly... I cant remenber any instances where we had a chat without speaking about liverpool.. Wish to get my liverpool jersy soon :P Other than that u r such a nice guy , down to earth with two levels of CFA :P Although we haven’t conversed much more than liverpool i always sense that u r close to me ... YNWA (I ll be wit u my frd :)) All the best machi and keep in touch.. Hopefully we can travel to anfield together one day.. ...NAVANETHAN G Two things that define Deepak : a concerned friend, and a liverpool fan!

His favourite passtimes include collecting knowledge about recent happenings at campus and collating it lavishly in spreadsheets. Your sincerity and dedication is evident from the myraids of competitions you’ve aced!

Its amazing to see how youâ??ve still been there for your friends and have plan A/B/Cs ready to most unexpected of problems. I shall remember and cherish the honest replies and the special folk dance outside mess! :P You are bound to shine in all your endeavours! Wish you only the best! ...Sneha Tyagi Kalluri Mangan, (Tricky thief) as I used to call him, do you even sleep at nights?? I have always felt that you are a Fin misfit. I still don’t have any reason that convinces me against :P Jokes apart, you have been one of my best buddies on campus. I have always had great time interacting with you on numerous things including placements :P. It was special for

me to team up with you for Blizzard(though you freerided). I have always adored the way you look at things analytically. I still don’t see anybody who could have aced Excel and CFA more than you did.

You are a misfit at IIMI man, you should have cracked B. More than a friend, you were my well-wisher, a sincere mentor and a person who is always ready to lend his helping hand. Thanks for keeping me calm during tough times. I know I had been cruel and harsh to you most of the times. Come on man don’t you deserve it ;). I am still stubborn on this. You don’t make a Wall Street guy. Better switch lanes soon. :P ATB da. Hope DB doesn’t dump you any sooner. Stay cool as you are always. Looking forward to some glorious years we would spend in Bangalore and other places. Enjaai maadi da....RAHUL S He is the Excel man of our campus... always making some or the other kind of excel sheets. And he is brilliant at it. I was one of the privileged few to have got a subscription of his excel forms. He is a Fin-guru, though he was a favourite with Prof Jayasimha (our marketing prof).

He is an extremely calm person. It was nice knowing you. Wishing you all the best for all your future endeavours!...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK Deepak has watched blackadder!! This was the first thing I found out about him and frankly, after that, he could have been a homicidal maniac and I would still have respected him :p. On a serious note, DTS truly symbolizes respect, someone who chased his passion, faced rejections and yet reached the top. The guidance and encouragement he gave me during the final placements helped me face them head on! While I have no doubt that he will realize all his dreams, what I do doubt is whether he is ever gonna finish the damn House of Cards season 1! Just watch it already!! S02E01 is amazing! ...SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI One guy in campus whom you won’t become tired talking to. He has hoards of information waiting to be shared and this guy has amazing networking skills. Truly a Fin God and an excel guru. I wont forget the stories u told me about your summer internship, I have literally rolled on floor laughing and the time we worked on the RPG case. We have a nickname for him “kalluri mangan”(meaning trickster :P :P). U will surely do wonders in life and wish you all the happiness in life.. ...VENKAT DUBASH. L

We met for the first time during FMS interview. Foot ball; I Block; Finace; Sachin; These words come to my mind when i think of you. I admire your perseverance. All the best for a wonderful career...VIGNESH A P Talluri, where should I start! There’s so much to write but I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of our wager-liverpool will finish 4th or below and I win. Now that we have that in writing, I shall proceed. You are the guy everyone does look upto for advise on any issue ranging from toiletries to placements :p As someone very aptly put it-you were the man of the placement season. And I owe you big time for all the help during that period. I will admit it’s very frustrating working with you on an assignment that you do not give a damn about and i remember our IF case where you simply replied that you don’t care. I felt like slapping you then but due to respect given to elders, I refrained from doing so..haha. I would have gone mad during our internship if you wouldn’t have been there and you did make life much easier during those tough 2 months. Thanks for everything-seriously! I am obviously going to see you around much more than I would like to but anyways, that’s only till your wedding bells ring :D And get some actual hobby-not Excel! ...KUSHAL JAJOO The Planet-I lexicon has been enriched with words like ‘EXCELlence’ and ‘fintastic’ thanks to Deepak. We worked together in group assignments in term 2 and I was impressed (read awestruck) by your command over finance. The amount of number crunching and excel worksheets that you prepared made our globe look so good. I have always admired your sincerity and dedication. I would particularly remember your CPs in MK-II. Best wishes for an illustrious career ahead. Cheers :)...ANAND MALHOTRA Deepak..sorry for speaking my heart out but you are a sore liverpool fan constantly insecured about the vulnerable footing your team is in :P. Outside the realm of football, deepak is a fun loving and attention seeking ( of the fairer sex :P) guy. He is absolute fun to be with and our conversations usually range from a plethora of topics. He is someone who believes in having unmatchable background preparation, be it the Deal ( I am sure he knew more about the last year campus winners’ ppt than they themselves) or placement ( undeniably the best prepared guy for placements in campus, you should have seen the previledge accessed placement preparation folder in his laptop)...PRANAY TODI Deepak the fin guru of d campus..i gt to knw him wen v wer in d same assignment grp in term-1..i still remember hw v did dat funny ROLE-PLAY to gather data fr sm assignment (mktg I guess) :P i still hv 1-2 recordings of dat night..i hv never discussed anything abt football wid him bt

got to knw his love fr football wen he n Tushar used to continuously talk abt football during d lecture n I hd to tell them not to talk..haha.. he is a really good friend and will always b there fr u..Deepak, thanx fr guidance and information dat u hv always provided whenever I needed..i am sure this is nt d end..i knw u r gonna make it big n my best wishes fr dat..b in touch buddy :)...ABHISHEK N MAHAJAN Deepak - The best mentor one could ever have.. Deepak was assigned as my mentor when i got a call from IIM Indore.. Ever since then he has been guiding and helping me take critical decisions in my life.. He helped me crack my WAT/PI for IIM indore, choose IIM Indore over NITIE , helped me ease into the life at the campus.. His crucial advices at critical times have really shaped up my path for the future...

Wish you all the best Deepak! A brilliant guy like you is gonna succeed wherever you go!! Keep in touch bro! :)...PADWAL AMIT MOHAN Deepak..my earliest memories of him are hanging around in the Iblock corridor with Eshwar, Ajinkya and making fun of each other.. one of the incidents with him which I distinctly remember was when I locked Eshwar in his room and Deepak spotted me on the way out.. while Eshwar was clueless to what happened, he later came to know through Deepak which was hilarious..we really met and bonded over football at I-block both in first year as well as second year(in the final terms :P) and he is an amazing player..wish u the best bro and do keep in touch :)...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN From the first day of the class till now you have been like a guide, an advisor for almost everything in life except the talk about girls (you really suck at that :P). We have lots and lots of good memories which can fill your entire yearbook but I will cut it short. We share so many common things like passion for football, playing in i block, tv shows, night mess, late night talks, passing away time doing nothing etc. I remember how we used to wait for some boring lecture to get over by reading football news, playing random games, making world XI on paper and trying to justify why our team was better, discussing which player can go where in next transfer window, you taunting me as a plastic fan again and again, talking about which girl we like the most in our section and our batch :P You are weird in your own way and as we discussed our group is filled with weirdos :D, so its okay. Have been together for around one and a half years and i know you so well that i can tell how you will react next. I appreciate the kind of efforts you

put in to help people although people sometimes don’t appreciate, don’t worry I don’t appreciate at all because it is your duty to help me. I have learnt a lot from you so thanks for everything. I understand why people call you ‘old’, its because of your persona, your knowledge, the way you help and give advice to others (nah, who am i kidding its because of your laziness, your uncle type walk and your lack of interest :P). Now the time has come where we finally won’t see each other daily but it will be always be fun whenever we meet. Wishing you all the best for your future and especially DB (you need that one ;)). You will surely miss someone who is ready to pull your leg anytime, anywhere. ...Tushar Gupta I got to know Deepak as he was one of the few Kannada guys in section C, and later he also became my groupmate in term-1. Though we got horrendous grades in all group tasks, it was a great time working together. A Hardcore fin guy, major football fan, up-to-date with all TV series, movie buff, there are only a few things he is not good at :) .. Thanks for helping me out in the section party ;).. All the very best and keep in touch!...

ANANTH G S There is one set of people on campus who claim to do a lot of things but actually do not, another set of people who claim to do a lot and actually do, a third set who claim to do nothing but end up doing a lot and then there is a fourth set of people epitomized by Talluri â?? Doing the best when required and enjoying the most when not. Till the very end of the first year, you were like just a Fin God for me and I thought that you would be extremely serious but the second year really changed things a lot and now I simply enjoy sitting near the grill and talking everything that it is to be talked about. A couple of things, which I have never told you Deepak: I really really respect you for your meticulous nature and your perseverance, but what I am going to remember you for is the amazing friend that you have been. You have helped me a lot with a lot of things, which perhaps you also do not remember. Thanks a lot Eshwar for getting me in touch Deepak. And we have a lot of journey left to travel together in Mumbai! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI Deepu! I so wish to make up for the lost time from sem 2 to sem 4! At the onset, I used to think that this guy actually doesn’t care about people around him and I couldn’t have been more wrong! Without your guidance and support, things would have been a lot different. I felt so very happy when I got to know that you have a DB shortlist only to discover a secret later, which obviously made me happier!! You were probably the most

deserving guy on campus. I think I can skip the Fin Champ and Excel Champ part as it is something that everyone knows. I also have to thank you for trying to improve my taste in movies and succeeding up to a certain extent :P Oh, and hats off to your loyalty, I mean being a Liverpool supporter all your life must not be easy for sure :P. On a more serious note, if one needs some advice on life, I think he is the right person to be approached. Just stay the way you are Deepu uncle, you rock! Go conquer the Finance world!...VEKHANDE AJINKYA KESHAV Fin & Excel chap...highly intelligent..moreover a great friend & confidante..with an awesome sense of humour...don’t forget us simple mortals when you become a multimillionaire :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ What to say about this guy!! He reminds me of Bob Biswas, due to his harmless appearance, but scary knowledge and assessment of the variables presented to him! Though I came to know you better in 2nd year, I will always fear you for your insane network of friends that keep giving you information (and accurate as well)! It has been really great interacting with you. Your laid-back attitude, calm but insanely sharp mind, especially with regards to finance!!! You were always the go-to guy for EMS and I can definitely see why! Wishing you all the luck in life and career! PS: A piece of advice: Telling a dog to “Go away” in English will never help, now that you might end up in Mumbai, where there are a lot of stray dogs. Just shoo away the dog....BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS “Your knowledge in finance and excel modelling are really commendable....blah blah”....ofcourse that all is true you are one talented and when it comes to it hard working guy....but lets go beyond that.... avery good friend and chilled out guy too....no doubt avid football follower :) Yes I know u’ll go places but where even you didn’t seem very sure and I am not talking about career you are too talented to have to talk about it.... So just a suggestion....try travelling...but of course you may pop plans of ur own later... Hey but stay in touch man....will always like to have you around when looking for some intelligent advice or excel modelling done :P...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY Deepak is the first person I spoke with when I came to Planet-I. Although a guy who shies away from group he is one of the most net-

worked persons here. His fin knowledge is immaculate. Thanks for help with all those finance subjects and for your support when I was preparing for CFA!! I was fortunate to have you as my neighbor :) Keep in touch and hope to see you as a front end Investment Banker one day :) ...PANKAJ DNYANDEO KOLTE Deepak was one of my first friends on campus and despite not having been in the same section nor having similar electives, we ended up being the closest of friends :) The helpful friend he is, Deepak has always been my ‘Go-to-Friend’, someone whom I have always looked upto for advice and help. He has been there for me whenever I needed a friend, whenever I need someone to talk to :) From suggesting me to join IIM Indore to showing me the sense at various times to helping me decide on Pidilite, I’m happy to have taken your advice! Thanks for everything!

There are very few friends who actually take the pain to understand you, and Deepak has been one of them. I’m lucky to have made a friend in you and I’m thankful for the trust you place in me :) All the best for you career ahead! We will obviously be in touch! :)...ESHWAR M S You are one of the nicest people around here. Its really fortunate that we met and became friends even though it was kinda late in the 2kind yr course. And that makes it all the more special since we connected so fast.

Sometimes that one conversation makes the difference, and I guess for us that kind of worked. Youâ??re a gem of a person Deepak, stay the same!...

RICHA PODDAR Deepak.. I don’t know why do people call you the old man..I feel you are really young at heart :P I have seen the way you never miss any chance to pull Tushar’s leg.. We do not get any common topics to talk about as you guys mostly talk about Football and I just prefer to listen :P But I look forward to better interactions in future :P Have a great career ahead :D...

SONAKSHI SAINI

AN V

RDH RSHVA

HA

Boy wonder, born genius, puzzle master. Ok, enough flattery :P Man, did we have an eccentric bunch in that Klueless team or what! I’ve rarely seen someone who is as amazing at solving puzzles and as klueless in real life. One of the best people I’ve met here, easily. Had a lot of fun making levels and solving some of the others with you. The highlight of our time together would be the music video we made with Bose. I’m never letting you forget that :D...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

One of the first few chennai people that I got to know on campus. Having come from the same undergrad college, we could connect easily and I think we are very like-minded (or atleast thats what I think :P). We were both keen on going on exchange from day one and wanted to be part of Klueless, both of which we eventually did. Got to know harsh really well as part of K8 team and spent countless hours (nightouts) making crazy Klueless levels. Harsh ‘s brain works at 2X speed and ONLY thinks out of the box, which has caused him trouble in various exams/ quizzes :P K8 wouldn’t have been fun without him. On exchange, we went on a couple of trips, one which included the Paris Masters which was one of the highlights of my exchange trip. (Remember running from one end of the court to the other for Del Potro’s autograph :P).

Fun times! Good luck and stay in touch! ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

The whiz kid! That is the first impression you get of him. I was amazed how or why would such a geek (left his job at Direct-I) choose to come for an MBA here. Nevertheless, heâ??s really sharp and can come up with a solution to possibly any puzzle in the world once he gets into his Mind Palace (I am surely not the first one to draw parallels with Sherlock). Klueless parties and sessions have been fun, but certainly what

tops the list is the Gordian Knot video we did together, in which I made you and Kiran sing to one of the most awful music compilations till date :P We have many common interests in puzzles, Chess, sports, Connect 4 (Having a better record over you in it is something I feel really great about) :D and but of course, Klueless. Will certainly remember you fondly after passing out. If I get posted in Chennai, will surely catch up once a while.

Enjoy, have fun (y)...ISHAN BOSE

I will remember you as one of the most confused, careless and unpredictable person on the campus. I always thought I was childish until I met you. You have been a good friend harsh and your thoughtful advices have helped me many a time. I will always cherish the long, pointless talks about various silly topics that we have had for hours which made me realise that behind a kid, there is a very mature and emotional person.

A piece of advice for you: plz dont shout and be rude to random people, you can make anyone cry easily when you become that nasty :P. Stay in touch, dont get lost plz. God bless you !!!...AANCHAL GOYAL

Everyone knows Harsh as random, who gets lost or who is too intelligent to be aware of what happening around himself. So I will save all that crap and say what Harsh is beyond all this. ï?? Harsh is always up for having some different in life and the more whackier the idea the better, we once found a tunnel full of graffiti on a random stop on Spain France border, got water thrown on us by a Frenchman in Marseilles and this is the sort of stuff you can expect with Harsh around and you will never hear anything except how awesome all this was. Thatâ??s what I like about Harsh, he will be around endless groups in Campus, be in places you will never imagine but will always have good things to say about everybody and everything.

He is one of the best people to have a meaningful conversation with and you can be sure he is pouring his heart out without a regard for what you will say in return. Probably thatâ??s why everyone likes Harsh on campus.

I have found out in the last 2 years that he is as emotional as me and gets bored with things as quickly as me. ï?? But he has a really different and exciting view of life and I could totally picture him doing something that nobody thought of making millions out of it and eventually donating all that money and living as a hippy. :P ...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

I’m going to steer clear of ‘lost’ jokes for once. Harsh is up for anything.

Have a crazy plan that makes no sense and you can’t possible pull off?

He’ll join you in giving it a try. That’s why he rocks. He’ll first say yes and then think about it. In that respect, there’s never a dull moment when he’s

around. He’s either saying something incredibly smart or something incredibly stupid. As far as his personality goes, he’s a straight arrow in that what you see is what you get. No pretentiousness. You can be absolutely sure that what he’s telling you is what’s running in his mind and that makes him very comfortable to be around and talk to. I’ve had an amazing time in his company and I wish I’d known him better in Trichy. Here’s to you mate. The world can definitely use a few more Harshs....ADITYA BALARAMAN

Harsh, the lost world, is the most intelligent person I’ve ever come across. He is one person who has a very clean heart and is very down to earth. But that doesn’t make him any less interesting. You can always expect the wackiest of things from this guy. Harsh, the best was that you forgot to bid for the electives. :P No wonder, we all have given you the title of The Lost. But honestly, you are an out-of-the-box thinker and I really respect your sharp mind. You’re an amazing person to hang around with. Just stay the way you are and I’m sure you’ll go places! All the best and keep in touch! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

say hello to Mr Forgetful.. It is shocking how this person is so smart yet so careless :P from an Aditya Birla scholar to the guy who comes half an hour late to the worst exam, this fellow is full of surprises.. though I spoke to him only a handful number of times, I always felt at ease talking to him..Persistent efforts of this warm, charming and fun loving boy to include me in the trichy group finally paid off ;) stay in touch :)...ANJEL JOSEPH

I gotta know him through the common thread of ABG scholarship..from day 1, he has always been helpful..to a great degree I owe my scholarship to him..had he not helped out with the form then probably I would not have qualified for the interview round only :) He is an ardent lover of travelling..(hence the exchange)...he even helped me chalk out my Eurotrip plans to a pretty good extent! He is pretty cool too..has given me a lotta tips for having “fun” on exchange :P I’m glad I gotta know him..if not back in college but at least here :)...SAMPANNA PARHI

I got to know Harsh in our first few days at planet I as we were part of the same assignment group. This guy never used to come for assignment meetings on time for a wide variety of excuses: cricket matches, chess tournament, klueless etc etc. While getting irritated at his freeriding I nevertheless marvelled at his wide ranging talents. Later when

he won the Aditya Birla Scholarship and became a household name on campus, my respect and awe for his capabilities increased even further Later I also got a first hand experience of his much vaunted sporting skills when I played TT and tennis with him. I wasn’t much impressed :P. That being said, Harsh is an extremely friendly and a surprisingly down to earth guy. We have shared some great moments together and I am pretty sure that with his combination of top class smarts and networking abilities, he will do very well in his future career.Best of luck and keep in touch dude!...

MRIGANK GUTGUTIA

Okay - Macha! Why did we go on this trip so late? Nonetheless, better late than never. It was just kickass to sit and have those absolutely random conversations without worrying about anything. Rolling down the sand dunes and then later watching sand fall out of hair the next day was just epic. The highlight though was sitting and coming up with those lame limericks which we sat and laughed at for almost three hours. The IPL may have been a disaster, but you know what - I had a lot of fun through all the screw ups. I think it was completely because of the people who were playing with me, and you were one of the major reasons. I’ve had a lot of fun hanging out with you, especially in this last term. Despite the abundance of talent and ability, you’re super chilled out and lack even a speck of arrogance. Standard Chartered is lucky to have you, and I am lucky to have you as such a good friend as well! Cheers :)...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

I did not know about this guy back in PGP1, and then he was suddenly the star for being the boy-wonder-Aditya-Birla-genius. Then he shaved off his moustache. And got placed on day 1 even though he did not want to. Was enough to conclude ki bhai ka mere jitna satka hua hai. :P All of first year, I was sure you lived in Gokul’s room. Simply because you were found there all the time. Finally, it was time to pick exchange colleagues.

And you turned out to be 1 fellow who had similar interests. Now that I sit back and think about it, exchange would not even have been half the fun it was without you bro. Cribs almost as much as I do, maybe even more.

He walked the circumference of the Earth at our apartment in Lille, and in M Gokul’s words, his displacement was 0. He called it thinking. We called him a lunatic. :P Thankfully, he never got lost, but there were plenty of moments when he was lost mentally! You still owe me Samsung earphones that you so proudly deposited as your mark on Mount Titlis in Switzerland! Strictly deals in percentages, for example, “I’m 32% hungry” would be an often-heard from him. Enough of the fun facts though. Everyone has their quirks, and so does Harsha. But this guy has the ability to see the

other side of the coin more often than not. He will, without fail, show you a side of the picture that you have entirely missed out upon. I honestly both envy and respect this. Thinks ahead, has a mostly-stable head on his shoulders. Also, one of the nicest people around. Carries no malice in his heart, and when drunk, he is an absolute hoot! By the end of the course, he also ended up being the “PARISESHANAM” guy as well! Cheers to some of the best times spent together, and hopefully to the ones in future! Best of luck at StanChart, you’ll rock the place! Just don’t dubaao the company when you are on one of your thinking sprees bro! Looking forward to Goa! :D ...PARTH KAPOOR

Harsh Harsh Harsh ! The high IQ boy who is always lost :P You are a very genuine person who says what comes to his mind without thinking. I really like that about you. We didn’t interact much during 1st year but we more than made up for that during exchange and term 6 ! The time spent at beer fest was probably the most memorable time I have spent with you. And as usual I had to sambhalo you when you got too drunk :P The random conversations we had during hookah in Pallav’s room were amazing and I wish we can continue having more such conversations. It made me realize what awesome conversations I had missed out on during 1st year. Also Let me reiterate that you are more lost than me :P sadly we couldn’t get lost together on exchange as initially planned ! Lets do that on some other trip :) Keep in touch always and I am saying this because you might get lost or forget me or something :P...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Harsha - intelligent; smart; Came to know him more only during second year. Keep in touch. All the best for your career. Have a great life....VIGNESH A P

So much I have heard about your lost stories and also being a whiz kid but I witnessed it first hand when the other day we were all standing downstairs at the mess, you were climbing down the stairs, you saw us but then you suddenly turned around and went back to the mess without saying anything and looking lost. :P I am still in awe of your CP in Ghosh’s class. Its the one of the most hilarious and daring CPs that I have heard. Hope to spend more time with you in Goa and Mumbai and listening to more such gems from you and getting more and more stories of you getting lost. :) ...SWATI VERMA

You take Harsh’s name and what comes to my mind is : ‘Lost’, ‘Motor-

Mouth’, ‘Funny’. I still laugh thinking of how the Diro ruined your name in the auditorium while congratulating you for bagging ABG schlarship and now when you imitate the way professors during Exchange programme failed to pronounce your name properly, it is all the more funny. I didn’t know you were this fun after getting high. Btw I thank you for making me have my first drink in our trip to Rajasthan. It was indeed a good feeling. I still laugh thinking of how you happily forgot biddinng for electives, You are that chill, light-hearted, honest, candid friend who happily loses to me in Ruzzle (although not recently..:P). I wish you all luck in future and hope we remain in touch forever...:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

In case you ever lose this yearbook, come to me. I’ll have a back up! I don’t even know how we became friends. Maybe it was because of Addy.

But one fine day I found myself drinking and playing poker with this Geek of an Aditya Birla Scholar! That time after summers was awesome. I’m glad we stuck around and I was even happier to know that our idea of chilling was very similar- stay on campus and not run home. That week I discovered that you weren’t a new friend but a kindred spirit. Chatting on patal lok stairs and the terrace into the wee hours was something that I really enjoyed. You know you can talk like a kid one minute and then behave like an experienced soul the next. You know when to take it easy and when to take life seriously. I’m going to come find if you ever get lost while looking for your big CEO office 10 years from now :)...ANKITA SATIJA

Harshvardhan Varadrajan is an enigma. If there were ever a Nobel for psychology, that would surely go to the person who resolves this mystery.

But such is the magical presence this guy has in people’s life that everyone who has met him wants to solve this puzzle. And despite all this, people find ways to be great friends with him. And believe me Harsha, I am one of those. This must be one of your best qualities that people want to have your back, different story you don’t let them do it, but for what it’s worth, a lot of them do have your back. From cricketing trivia to studying together for end-terms, from not studying a single page for HR end-term to burning midnight oil over the stupid Maverick thing (don’t worry I think the presentation was beyond them), I’ve shared some of the best and most memorable moments at IIM with you. IMT GHaziabad debacle apart, I think we’ve done reasonably well when part of the same cricket team too! :P! Stay in touch, you are valuable to people. ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Lots of wonderful memories starting from talent night when I learnt you play violin to your impromptu dance to your leg pulling with “Sid-

dharth” Bonded easily over ability to easily switch between tamil and English(some things are best conveyed in tamil) we have had a lot of friendly interactions and fun moments be it in the section, tam parties or dinner table conversations. Had a fun trip in Udaipur and to the recent at the time of writing discovery in Candy Crush, its been fun knowing you..hope we stay in touch :) Cheers! :D...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

Harsha-the cool dude through and through, right from his sheepy grin to his polished(but accented) Hindi to his batting style. I still remember the days when the poor guy would knock at my door at 4 in the morning and say “Kuch khaane ko hai kya” or “Yaar ye padha de, kal exam hai”. A fun person to be with, we’ve had our fair share of interactions over dinner table, night mess, movies, outings and like. Glad to have met someone so astonishingly intelligent and downright humble.

You better be in touch :)...APAL

As confused as an unsolved Rubik’s cube, as brisk as quick lime reaction with water, what a muddle head guy he is. I know him right from the first day in this campus. We were ‘Bakra’ mates. During PGP1 although we shared same sections, we interacted more on cricket field especially SR12 night cricket. He is a great athlete and a cricket enthusiast apart from being a brilliant student. We got to share same hostel wing in PGP2. Wow..now I came to know real you seriously :P How many times dude?? how many times have you lost your room key?? :D Hostel life was never same when you were on Exchange trip. Will miss in-depth cricket discussions with you :) Wish you all the very best for all of your future endeavors.. \m/ ...MOHAMMAD AMIR

Harsh comes across as one of those absent-minded genius types.. coming up with something brilliant one moment and asking you something completely dumb the very next instant. Its always fun to have a chat with him. Wish I had gotten to know you earlier. Hope you don’t let the corporate world change your ‘whacko’ ways! All the very best, and keep in touch! Adios! :)...ADHIT S. SHETTY

One awesomely cool dude who’s a whole lot cooler when he’s drunk.

Harsh has been this genius type guy who’s unorganised, and who I can expect at my room at any time of the day asking for nail cutter, pen drive, comb, glass and what not! Haha, even in first year I remember giving him some formals for his IV. But he;s an amazingly cool person,

who cracks the most insane jokes (Read: Tinga linga linga linga..) Harsh, let’s hope this is the beginning to more such crazy memories. Rajasthan was awesome. CHEERS!...Raoul Lopes

Hershey!! Klueless became all the way more special to me because of the people in it. You and Hitesh played a huge role in that! I loved every crazy moment, levels, star gazing, and crazy drunken parties! You are a brilliant, generous person and it gives me happiness that I figure in your list of friends. I sometimes hated that exchange program even existed coz that meant you and Hitesh gone for a whole term, not b there for K9 and here in general. But I donâ??t think it has changed things. You guys are still special and will always remain. Looking forward to hearing your storiesâ?¦Shine always!...RICHA PODDAR

Harsh, you were the first person I remember meeting on campus. You were with your dad at SBI when I walked in with my parents. True to your character, you’d forgotten something, and your dad was shouting at you while youâ??d very evidently zoned out :P While my parents felt an instant connect with your dad, I felt it with you â?º I think randomness is something that we both have in abundance, which is what makes us click.

Our cycling escapade is one of the most fun nights Iâ??ve had here. Itâ??s always been so easy to chat with you. We can talk after months and still pick up from where we left off, with no awkwardness whatsoever, like we did when you were on exchange. And this is what I like the most about our friendship: itâ??s effortless. I remember that night before you went on exchange, when I randomly kept talking about my career and life plans and you heard me out patiently. I still donâ??t know what prompted me to go on and on that day, but Iâ??m happy I did, because you were so supportive and encouraging. For all the fun we make of you for being lost and Klueless, I think youâ??ve done exceedingly well for yourself, what with the Aditya Birla scholarship et all. Youâ??re going to give your colleagues one helluva time by being the only banker of your kind. Wishing you all the very best for everything. Looking forward to more randomness and great conversations â?º Much love...KAVYA AMARNATH

Have known this whiz kid since our initial days in Section-B. Heâ??s among the very few who beat me in their speaking pace. Harsh you are extremely smart, a brilliant planner and account keeper â?? still remember how you opened the Europe map and then planned the journeys or how you made those complicated excel sheets which every Euro and centâ??s account!

From our visits to the most beautiful places in Europe to our heated argu-

ments, from cooking those cheese chilli sandwiches to shopping for aloo pyaaz :P, from hogging the pizzas in Italy to dancing at Oktoberfest! The winner of our most adventurous (and scariest) incident however is Romania hands down!! The negotiations, the Plan B C D in place sitting at McD...omg...one hell of a day that was â?? Draculaâ??s castle it seems.. ROFL! Oh btw just while writing this testimonial I realized that you the one common person in all my IIM Indore trips â?? be it RIP, Exchange, our recent Rajasthan adventure or the soon to come Goa trip :D Youâ??re now officially my travelling partner ;) You are among the smartest people I have come across and I truly believe StanC would be the perfect blend for you.. Wish you all the very best!

And keep in touch....NEHA KANWAL

The whiz kid. Belongs to the clan of those high IQ people. I still remember that discussion between you, archit and me on the beach of Nice.

We were trying to find out why sea water is salty and why rivers are not. I wished that we had spent more time together on the exchange. ï?? High confused and forgetful. You have all the characteristics of Albert Einstein. Your company is absolute fun. Drinking, dinner, or those random discussions about how much we miss being there in France, everything is an absolute treat. You are very simple and down-to-earth in spite of that high IQ. I hope StanC will place you in Mumbai. You are made for much bigger things. I always had a feeling that youâ??ll be one of those successful entrepreneurs that the entire batch will be proud of. ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Harsh, you have the highest energy level among all people I know here. It is quite evident from the pace at which you speak :P. Sometimes, I have to rewind in my mind what you said so that I can understand what you meant...hehe. When you speak I always notice the spark in your eyes that tell me the passion with which you do stuff that appeals to you. And stating the obvious, one of the smartest guys around. It had been a pleasure being with you in Klueless team. All the best man...keep in touch...LIVI T KOSHY

HIM

You are for sure the best friend I ever had. This journey of IIM seemed like a happy tour and ended so quickly with you. Your ‘chotii bachii’ wali harkatein, your stumbling here and there, your ‘awesome’ direction sense and all of your cute things always made me laugh when you were around. This thing could not have been more joyful. Thanks for doing almost all of my assignments, even when I didn’t ask you to do them. You act so mature in front of others that I wonder is this even the same girl that I know. Himi, one thing is for sure that you’ll never grow up :P. I’ll always cherish the time we spent, even the one when you made me go n get coffee for you from pi shop.But you always played your part. Thanks for making maggi for me whenever I was hungry :P Your were always there for me. Eurotrip was the best trip I ever had and that was only because of you. You are very brainy, you are excellent at your work and you have what it takes to become a CEO. You are so charming that who so ever meets you admires you. The combo of all these make you an exceptional person. I am sure you’ll be very successful. I hope we’ll be like this forever. Just be this amazing and keep me correcting whenever I am wrong. All the best for everything :)...KSHITIJ TAYADE

Our first proper interaction was during RIP. It was good to know u. I was impressed by your level of maturity. Its always good to be bubbly and mature at the same time. You have an appealing smile and a very ‘expressionate’ face which makes u very cute. I wish u all the very best for all your future endeavours ! :)...AYUSH AGARWAL

Himakshi gupta â?? The coolest girl on campus. Very strong-minded and someone who can handle any situation. You can be the next

â??Arnab Goswamiâ?? on Seedhi Baat â?? a sweeter version nonetheless.

Jokes apart - you have tremendous potential and will definitely do well wherevre you go. There are few girls I’ve come across who are as street smart as you. All the best for life ahead!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Himakshi â?? â??The next Chanda Kochar in makingâ??.Haha I know you hate this comment. I still remember the placement prep times when you were really worried that you will get placed in ICICI bank and it turns out you get a PPO. But I am sure you will do really well. We have been friends since sem 1 and have had awesome time playing cards, taboo, dance parties, LUDO at RIP, random talks over coffee. You have been one of the coolest girl I have met; stay the same....Variksh Thaker

Neighbor for a year...one of the most intelligent females i have met....still think you are better suited to analytics than finance....wish you all the best for the future...HEMANTA PRAMANICK

Himakshi-my neighbour, my friend, my advisor-you have played many roles in these two years in my life and I could not imagine IIM without you by my side-We ve had great times and some lows-but the one thing that I LOVE about you is how straight forward you are-you are one of the few girls who can be termed a geek-who will party like there is no tomorrow and who always managed to study everything- you looked out for me even when I was not being nice to you (sorry for that) - you are one person whom I can have endless conversations with-You hav this little kid inside you who is adorable! “Bhagwaanji ne photo khichi-I still can’t get over that one-I don’t think I can put everything down here but yeah one of the very sorted girls of our campus, low tolerance for dumbness and hypocrisy and if you have her as a friend you know you have atleast one friend you can count on- we may not be able to talk/meet that often but whenever we look back it will bring a smile-all the best girl and become the next Himakshi Gupta :p...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

My first few thoughts about you â??â??The girl who doesnâ??t like talking muchâ?? :P..But once I got to know you better I realized how disciplined you were in academics and PARTYING both! :D RIP was super fun with you and so were the post RIP room parties where we would dance like there was no tomorrow..An elder sister who helped me through my studies here and someone who was instrumental for initiating conversation with someone here...I can never thank you enough for being around so many times and I hope to stay in touch with you in future as well..

All the best for your future although we all know that you dont need it! :D ...NIYATI JHUNJHUNWALA

Himaskhi - my first friend in campus. Smart, straightforward, fun-loving and extremely helpful - How can anyone not like you! I canâ??t forget how you helped me break my roomâ??s lock! :P I miss hanging out with you. But I hope that we get such opportunities in future. All the best! Stay in touch. :) ...TRISHLA

An amazingly fun person and an extremely charming personality. I doubt anyone can ever feel bored with her in the group. RIP was awesome fun and I still remember how we used to play Monopoly at the back. We did not really have a chance to know each other better but then it provides a good opportunity to be in touch for future. The random periodic chats were really refreshing and getting your perspective has always made me think! Slight regret for not being in touch throughout but hope Mumbai does the trick....RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Himakshi is very hardworking, talented and dedicated. We were in the same group in Term 1 and she would be the one who would do all the assignments- we would sit for hours in Kshitij’s room (till morning 4 am to work on OB PPT). All she needs is Coffee :P..You can get all your work done if you can bring her a cup of coffee. Wish you all the best.

Keep in touch....PARAG PODDAR

A really cool fellow chennaite...always helpful. Yahan ake NIT, Trichy ka naam roshan kiya :P A fin Guru, college topper etc etc I’m glad I got to meet such a nice senior as you...but yes I won’t forget the promised belgian chocolates that I never got :P...SAMPANNA PARHI

Hitesh Bhai...Fin Guru of planet I...in fact The GURU of everything....

Hitesh we worked together in term 2 for various assignments and it was great to work with you. One thing that nobody can deny about you is whichever group you were part of, the group members would completely rely on you...because everyone knew Hitesh will definitely come up with some solution...As a person you are cool, Hardworking and Intelligent. I never saw you getting tensed about anything. One word that you used frequently was â??BHAISAAHABâ??....I guess itâ??s IIM Indore effect... ï?? .... My best wishes for your career...!!!

Forgot to mention your distinct identity...Hair Style...It should be Copyrighted ...ANIKET YEVALKAR

One of the loveliest human beings I have met on campus if not in my whole life. Scientists could find life on Mars before the world manages to find a hint of attitude in Hitesh. Had the good luck of staying in the same floor as his for two consecutive years. A true genius in his own right. Could balance his work and social life to a tee. Being a fresher, there is one thing that I have imbibed from him is how to maintain your poise and grace when things are not working for you in life. One of the most genuine and caring people I have been a friend of. Wish you a great life ahead. Stay in touch. Hope to see more of you after we pass out :) :) ...SAYAN BAGCHI

Well Hitesh.... I’m going to miss you here at IIM-I..! You were the first person at Planet-I to give me pep talks that got me through Term-I.... Right from resume iterations to general advice, you cleared up set my direction right.. I’ll always remeber you as the soft-spoken guru... :D Wish you you the best and lets keep in touch...!...ISHAN GURG

Yoooooooooooo....... This is the most frequently uttered line in our conversations.. One of the coolest guy that one can meet. Never one to lose his temper, always calm and composed, and the best possible combination of hard work and intelligence. With the bare minimum effort that you put in, the fact that you are in the top 3 of the batch speaks volumes about your infinite qualities. You let me free ride the entire 4th term in all subjects. Its a very bad habit and my 5th term group members had to suffer because of it. I seriously hope you end up in Chennai next year.. P.S. Get married soon.. I want to have good non veg Sindhi food :P Yours truly, The Racist Bastard ;)...ARINDAM PAUL

Hitesh and me share a compatibility which I am sure he wouldnâ??t have found since his NIT Trichy days where he stayed in shared rooms :P. The best analytical mind I have met and is an â??excelâ?? god. He is carefree, lives in the present and believes in making no compromises....PRANAY TODI

One of the crazy people who formed the legendary K8 team. I feel sorry for you that you had to put up with eccentric characters like us. Credit to you that you never lost your head. Will never forget all those late night party sessions which stretched to late mornings and all the other crazy stuff which we did. You are also one of the most intelligent people on campus, that goes without saying. Here’s to hoping the Kult lives on forever! :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

When I search for Hitesh in the omnibox of my brain I get results like batch topper, excellent in assignments, SNORING, Table tennis, some POR in finance vertical (we all know what you did there :P), Equiti, Trichy, Klueless, and then there is this namesake of yours (I know you have been cursing for the whole of 2 years for this) :P, etc. But then these are all superficial things which I think anyone can achieve (with the right amount of knowledge and effort obv :P) What many people do not know is that this man has a heart of gold! Hitesh would always be there for you for any problem or the other. I have never met a more selfless person than you in my whole life. Though got to know you better only in PGP2, I had

the chance to learn from you always. You were the one who used to teach us before the exams. You always worked hard towards achieving excellence in whatever you did; this quality of yours can never let you not succeed in life. Had a lot of fun in Germany (people used to die laughing in Eurail listening to your snores) and then there was that Amsterdam trip when you went high and I had to carry you on my shoulders (sounds impractical: P) to my friend’s house. But then these are the only memories that count in the end. I am sure that you would be successful wherever you go. Some will say that you did not get what you deserved but I feel you will soar greater heights cometh the time. As they say, ‘The greatest gift you can ever give another person is your own happiness’. You will be missed. Cheers!...RAHUL YADAV

Hitesh! Certainly one of the most fun guys I met here. I first saw him when we had some crap IIMI mentor meet (in case you donâ??t know, we had the same mentor in Kamal Kishore Jain) and during that session, his introduction and questions made me think of him quite a nerd and a serious guy. However, on getting to know him better thanks to the Klueless 8 parties and sessions, I realized him as one of the most mature, cool and friendly guys here. Also what I really appreciate about him is his sense of responsibility. He takes up ownership of anything he does, and wants to do it the best possible way. The way he handled Klueless 7.5 and 8 was really commendable. Quite flexible in his opinions and very open-minded. Also, has a deep-rooted knowledge about any topic under the sun. Klueless would certainly be less fun without you. It was great to know you man, and possibly we can catch up often in Chennai in case I get posted there. Have fun :)...

ISHAN BOSE

The first friend at IIM Indore. Seeding chicks (I am sure you remember the top 3), Slogging for exams, Night mess coffees (I don’t have the privilege any more though :P), Captain Morgan at RIP, Eurotrip.. you have been there at all the times.. I still remember when you used to teach me to be cordial with as many people as possible in first year. I haven’t learnt it yet (I still end up asking you the names of some guys of our batch, and you would end up saying ‘tere ko bas bandiyon ke naam pata rehte hain”). “Top 50!.. we need to be there” and we used to discuss this every day in first sem.(yeah we were/are nerds. lets accept!) It was you who helped me throughout. To be very honest i used to be a lil jealous of you at times. Saale apan saath mien padhte the and tu food deta tha. Mac 1 yaad hai? You were cribbing.. how you

screwed up and I was bragging about how well I did. The result turned out to be the same. You always led and I followed. Dude.. you have no fucking clue how good a person you are (I was preparing for CFA and you did my assignments). You deserve a lot more given the talent and honesty you possess. And I am fucking sure that you will kill it once you step out of this place. Things haven’t been the same I know. And I assure you that it will be as good as it was when I do enough to earn your respect back. Have a great life. And Keep in touch. :) ...RAHUL NAGDEV

One of the people I could connect with most easily on campus.1st year would not have been the same without the countless hours spent on crazy puzzle ideas.(Now we’d never forget PIGS would we :P) Anytime anybody calls him to the night mess or to go out or for any nonsense he would never say no and yet he was in the top 3 in the batch every single time !

How he manages things effortlessly (including his POR’s) and yet always seems to have time on his hands is beyond me. Apart from his academic brilliance, a very sincere and honest person, someone who you can blindly trust to cover your back.Deserves a lot more and a guy for the long run -- with time, your qualities would definitely take you places. (PS: Always remember to keep the anjels in good spirit :P) ...HARSHVARDHAN V

The wise man with grey hair. Pehle socha â??Itne bade log bhi MBA karne aate hainâ??. Then I found out your age :p. I was really glad to get an opportunity to work with you in the 2nd year â?? if youâ??re in my group, I never have to worry! Tab se tu valuations guy ban gaya. A person with a brilliant knowledge of finance and a better heart â?? it was great to be friends with you!! Keep in touch!! As for the future, I have know doubt you’re going to do great in life! ...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

We met during rendezvous and from then on you have been a constant guide here at Planet-I. I cherish all the advice you have given me and hope that this association can continue for many more years to come...Wish you all the best :)...SANDESH V

While I had heard stories of Hiteshâ??s greatness for a long time I guess we only became friends in PGP2. He was probably at his nerdy best in term 4 â?? poring over excels and pre-planning vanilla CP for PAF! Still managed to make time for FIFA every now and then, where he was always a tough dog! Needless to say exchange would not have been the same without you. Laughing our asses off eating butter cake in Amsterdam (remember how that dog was running? :D), you calling for your mommy on

the Silver Star in Europa ( I still laugh when I remember your expression!), absinthe-fuelled pub crawling (with the crawling being quite literal!) in Prague, convincing you that you wouldnt drown in 4 feet of water in Budapest, that night train in Italy where you valiantly defended the coach while Rohan and I slept! â?? tonnes of memories from Europe. I was quite a noob when I set out on exchange, which is why tujhe itni baar mere sawaalon se short aa gya! (in quotes!) Learnt a lot from you those 3 months â?? from simple things like Anda Bhurji to profound stuff like keeping your composure when things got crazy (like retrieving your passport from that Asia Wok place at am Main â?? legendary stuff! ;) ) Hitesh is easily the most helpful/selfless guy you could ever meet. He is one person who never misses an opportunity to go out of his way and help out his friends. If God wanted to define a nice guy (in quotes), he could start with Hitesh and leave out some of his friendliest (again in quotes!) characteristics! He has the air of a very responsible person (I remember my mom being reassured that I will come back alive from Europe when she met Hitesh! :P) and just naturally looks out for those around him. Stay the same way bro, I am sure life has great things in store for you! We will keep in touch. Adios, and good luck!...ADHIT S. SHETTY

Dude is the easiest person to talk to... Has no airs about him and is very humble and modest. he is very hardworking and is ready for a party also anytime. I don’t however understand the recent transgressions ... such an innocent person with the most notorious person I know (seriously and its me saying ... :P) Anyways a gem of a person and a true friend (except for the Rick Flair fantasy :P) ... Nyways a lot has been already said so I will just say that I hope that u get success in you future endeavors and our friendship becomes better and stronger in future....

RAVI MAHESHWARI

Hitesh, we never interacted much but still, you are somebody for whom I hold a lot of respect. Very intelligent, smart and ofcourse excel guru! We mostly met while watching football and your craze for FPL is famous throughout IIM indore :p I had lots of fun at Mt Titlis also and in Amsterdam-some memories I will cherish for a long long time. Wish you the best for the future and do keep in touch! Would love to watch a game with you again :) ...KUSHAL JAJOO

Another Trichy-ite I wish I knew earlier. The fact that we’re from the same city and the same college gave us an instant connect. Spend a

few minutes with him and you wouldn’t think he’s one of the batch toppers, the way he jokes around and lightens the mood. I would cite Hitesh as the perfect example of someone who can chill and be serious at the same time. I used to look forward to travelling home with this guy and the times we’ve spent in travel made the journeys home so much more memorable. (Especially that time we chilled overnight in Delhi). Everyone who knows Hitesh will agree with me when I say that he’ll achieve a lot in a very short period of time. All the very best dude....ADITYA BALARAMAN

I knew Hitesh from our I block days, and I always respected him for his talent, work ethic and his amazing ability to balance both studies and fun.

Eventhough he is such a stud, his humility was something one can always learn from. A typical Manchester United supporter, he as someone who was more bothered about the Fantasy League than the actual EPL :D He has had his fair share of bad luck, but with his intelligence and dedication, I am confident he will very quickly go to where he would rightly belong :) ...Deepak Talluri

Hitesh, I would have never met John Reese had it not been for you :P. Thank you for introducing me to so many great TV series . You have no clue how much it means to me! Never see this guy worried. Cute, carefree and always happy he is one of the most helpful people I have come across. Fin Guru and extremely smart, he is meant to achieve a lot of success in his life. I wish you all the best for future. Stay in touch! :)...

TRISHLA

We have spent relatively less time together, but that was enough to know how cool a person you are. Despite being one of the toppers, you seem to have watched almost every TV series possibly made on earth. I was really impressed by how you managed to do so much every single day, and still had all the time in the world to have fun with friends. Being a part of your group was such a learning experience! I am lucky to have known you. I am sure there are great things in store for you. Wish you the best! :)...RAJNI RANJAN

One person I would have likes to know better at IIM Indore. Hitesh is one of the people I look at and wonder what he is doing here. In my opinion, one of the most brilliant people in II M Indore and also one of the most modest. While I have not had the fortune of interacting with him extensively, whatever I have seen is enough to tell me that this person has the raw intellect and no airs attitude which will ensure that he can do

any job with a quiet efficiency and humility that is amazing. I hope you do well!...SIDDHARTH JAIN

Hiteeshh..one vivid memory I have of you is Daddy Cool in t-nite :) I knew you were a fun loving jovial person tabse hi..par batch topper bhi :P Our work in Mridang has only reinforced my belief in how dedicated you are and how fun you are to work with. I have told this many times, par again â?? topper ho toh Hitesh jaisa, you have never shied away from any fun activity coz you had to study. You are so genuine, straight forward and down to earth â?? stay the same. Will surely be in touch!...Abhish Nair

I believe you were always there to save the ship from sinking when it came to group assignments! It was like if there was any assignment due I would not call anyone else in the group as I knew you would ensure we submit something at least! Though that just reminded me of all the ungodly hours that you used to sleep in.. Haha.. Stay this dedicated and this cool about stuff... Till we meet next, see you.....

ADITYA AGARWAL

Hitesh, I return the compliment and the pleasure is all mine. :) U are among my favourite people on campus as well. First sem, I was still in my reserved shell and at that point of time, I had just figured that you are this Fin genius who knows all the fancy things (Du Pont analysis!!!)

But that was that. Then came Klueless and woah it changed everything! I came to know this amazing wonderful super cool guy who is so much of fun to be around! Those crazy level-making nights will be part of my highlights of the IIM Indore stay. And K8 was something different altogether! :) Then came the crazy party sessions and you were an absolute sweetheart there! I could just let myself loose knowing you were there! We must sit and have a recap! The stargazing session with Harsh on J block rooftop, and competitions â?? our fake attempts.

On a personal level, I respect you and feel lucky to have you as a friend. I cherish the bond we share, this feeling that there is a friend with whom I can share anything, whom I can depend onâ?¦ We must get together and make levels and stay in touch like forever and forever and forever, despite time, place etc. ...RICHA PODDAR

We’ve had very few interactions, and I wish I had known you better!

All the best to you :)...PRIYA RAMESH

Hitesh, you have been amongst my first and best friends on campus..I cannot thank you and Rahul enough for rescuing me multiple times right before exams..You have always been up for anything and everything.. I truly miss us 5 not being able to give much time together in 2nd year..I do hope this improves and we remain in touch, always....AGARWAL ROHAN RAJENDRA

One of the most genuine guys on Planet-I. I don’t think there is anyone on the campus who cannot get along with this guy. I have seen him calm even in more difficult times. Brilliant and fun loving fellow.You are one guy who deserves a lot and I am sure you will be high up the corporate ladder in the future. My best wishes for the future!!! ...PANKAJ DNYANDEO KOLTE

Hitesh was in the my first group and for that I thank PGPO :D .. We shared a common interest for football and EPL and FIFA - so it was natural for us to hit it off immediately. When I came to know that he was in Oracle and was already living the ‘li8’ cultutre, it just became more fun to be around this guy. I still remember the first time I saw this guy was during the Bakra sessions when his group was asked to present an analysis on paper industry (I think) and the seniors were taking his case incessantly and Hitesh couldn’t stop smiling. That shows the coolness factor of the person when others (including me) were slightly terrified :P. The bakar (which was 90%) and then the eventual nightouts we did in our group meetings will always be memorable. I still rate the Nano case as the hardest I have worked maybe :P.. This guy also has the ability to intrigue others. The curiosity he kept me in when making me listen to the EPL song was brilliant :P. A TV series buff, foodie and down-to-earth and great person to be around : I am sad that our sections were different in 2nd year so couldn’t meet up much. I don’t regret the Exchange yet but it would have been great if I would have come with the football company :). Apologies for the late backout. Lest I forget a passionate Man Utd supporter with love for FPL slightly superstitious (he won’t keep Man Utd players in FPL team for fear of underperforming). Stay in touch and wish you all the best in the future!!! We’ll meet again for sure...ARUP MANDAL

I remember you as this guy who barely knew but still helped me study finance...if not for you and Rahul I would have failed! It is great how you meticulously followed the batch rank and how you persevered to be amongst the toppers of our college....hats off to you for striving and getting what you want..you always have a smile when I meet you. M sure you

will kickass in life also and with your thoroughness stun everybody! All the best :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Hitesh, kaise karta hai bhai itna sab kuch aur woh bhi itne ache se?

I met you only in the second year and was very wrong about you. I would generally see you in I block common room in 1st year talking about football and had this impression that here is this ultra sophisticated guy who only talks about English football with people in English (and I think it is because of your hair :p). The best part about you is how you want that your work should be very close to perfect (and I think that this shows even when you are playing TT). This and the fact that you ll never say no to people (Hitesh, padha de, Mujhe apne group me lena, Assignment kar de thoda busy hoon..). I have never heard anyone in the campus saying anything bad about you. Keep up the hard work and you will do great. And thanks for your help during the placements, I ll keep coming back to you :)...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Hitesh Bhai, J-Block johny, one of the most cheerful person I have ever seen, very helpful would rarely say no to anything :-). Though used to go to Gym regularly but still would always be sufferung from backpain or some other pain :p :p [Remember the spray incident :d]. Wishing you all the very best for future :-) and hope that our paths may cross again in the future...PANKAJ DHINGRA

If I were to decribe Hitesh in one word, I would use the word ‘Leader’.

Hitesh is a modest person who always remains calm and steady under stressful environment, he has a good listening and critical thinking skills. He is good in dealing with aggressive people, angry chicks(prolly because of some unknown reasons) and also idiots. :D We had a wonderful time together exploring the alpines of the Himalayas. I will always remember the day he blacked out on the top of the Himalayan Mountain just to get one trophy for our Team. He was a fun person to hang out with, not to mention his modesty and considerate personality to people around him. I wish him all the best in his career, and to have happy and prosperous life. #Vlrs...VANLALROSIAMA RALTE

‘Mujhse Shadi Karogi’... lol ;) ;) CHAND tu jitna bahar dikhta hai utna hi andar bi hai.. but I still feel u are among the few pure at heart... it was nice to work with you & having fights over things which are not gonna matter in the long run (waise bi tu 29 tak yahi hai na.. :P) Lets rock again on stage / off stage.. :D...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

ohh as i sit in my chair to write this testimonial, flurry of memories and emotions run through my mind. Bringing smile on face when I remember all those foolish acts that we did, late night unofficial low

profile parties together, trying to be a good “host” ( if u know what i mean) :P hanging out together in those foreign colors :P your out of this world dance moves, your never ending lecture on health and nutrition.I still remember the day when you started giving expert advice on health and nutrition. Your friendship with Hostel officer Mr. Niraj :P and that epic night when “ yeh toh mast MUJH SE SHAADI KAROGE wala scene ho rakha hai” :D :D well the list of such wonderful memories is very long and this testimonial would not suffice to consume all those... that bonding of ours was natural as we both are paharias. :) Hope this friendship of ours would never end and we would be seeing each other for many years to come.. Thank you buddy for being such a wonderful companion and wish you a very good luck for your future.. No need to say that stay in touch :)...

TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Opinionated, energetic, fun-loving. Phaad actor hai (notwithstanding the disastrous talent night). Just that he needs an able director to wield a strong check on his overacting. :P. Good mimic. Eesn’t it. :P. . Apne fundae kafi baar doosro par force karta hai, specially agar mess me log mil jaye toh. :P. Kabhi kabhi kaafi immature harkatein kar ke pange le leta hai.

But the great thing is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He is all too willing to admit that he has flaws, and tries to work on them (when not messing up other things :P). But seriously, it takes a high level of maturity to take criticism; praise to sabko acchi lagti hai. And he takes it well without any ego or nakhra. Wish you the best for life!...SHREYA TANDON

HIitteessss bhaiiii..... ;) This guy is an embodiment of energy, always on his toes and ready to make his contribution in anyway possible. He should have become a dietitian instead of a manager, has mad knowledge about food and the calories it has and amount one should take blah blah...Would definitely remember the times you came to my room and said to me Bhai aaj toh scene ho gaya yaar!! or asked me Kya scene hua tha yaar raat ko!! :P Have a great life...wishing you all the success and happiness in life... cheers :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

Hitesh, the cool handsome guy who makes you chill no matter how much pressure u r in...The best thing about him is that he will give you whole new perspectives and help you think with an open mind...and for someone who is senior to me in terms of work and life experiences, he has always met me with humility... He has all the characteristics of a good mentor and dats the quality dats gonna take him places....The guy that girls seem to be fond of always :) And he sure does love the limelight...Thanks

for all your feedback..I will seriously think about them...Hope to meet you in the same jolly spirit every time :)...SUMIT KUMAR PRAMANIK

Chandu.....one of the CP masters of section B :D....the jugalbandi between u n some professors were really to watch out for....Hitesh is someone who hs views on everything n u cn talk wid him on any subject n he always hs something to say on dat....I also loved to tease him for his crushes in IIM ;) still wud love to :P He is a person who enjoys every minute of life...b the same always...best of luck for u future dear... God bless u:)...Sneha Landge

Best neighbor ever! a very good friend and a nice person. You gave me anything that i needed at any time. Be it speakers, shaving cream, etc. :P Always playing some music and maintaining a fun atmosphere around u. You always got into some trouble for no reason :P It was always fun talking to u. I hope you keep enjoying n partying like u did in campus. All the best bhai!!...KSHITIJ TAYADE

Hitesh, the stud of IIM Indore.... This guy is multi talented.. From CPs to ramp walking, he leads the way.... He can clear any GD even though he has the slightest of knowledge about the topic being discussed (read L&T finance gd :P).... Very passionate and a helping friend.. He is seen most of the times busy in Whatsapp and WeChat. :) .. Got to knw more abt him during HOP.. He can be ur perfect friend when you are demotivated and clueless.. He is a fitness freak too and drives the girls crazy with his 6 pack. :P I am blessed to have you as a friend and hope that we continue our friendship forever... Wish u all the best in your future endeavours ... ...DEBRAJ DAS

ur talent in acting has amazed many.. do keep it up and dont let this go away with the increasing burden of responsibilities. Had a good time with you specially during Kaalchakra and Utsah. Although acting kabhi kbahi overacting ho jaati thi but still it was an awesome experience which will be cherished always. Keep Rocking...stay blessed.. All the best for all your future endeavors. Keep laughing and making others laugh :) have a great life ahead :)...BHUVNEET K. RAHEJA

Always ready to move, Hitesh is one of the most dynamic personalities on planet-I. â??Noâ?? is not in his dictionary. He is probably the most active and multi-dimensional personality in the batch. Never bothered about recognition, he works silently (khair maza to chalne

me hai, kyon?). Sometimes his naughty aspirations can really take you to a different world. You can never discount his presence around you, he makes every moment worth enjoying. PS: Keep the spirit up bro, I know youâ??ll achieve a lot ...JAIPAL MANDYAL

Always ready with free advice on life and health as if he knows everything about it :P.The master of Globe CPs and he admits that.More interested in extracurricular activities. He owns a guitar ,not sure about how good he is at it. Always talks about self improvement and does nothing about it.He is a very kind heated and helpful person.Wish him all the best for his future..:-)...ALI MONISH P E

Hitesh, it was super fun working with you in Idanim...The club would not have been so alive without you..;) You made everyone comfortable and cheerful..!! The ‘Gerard Butler of IIM-Indore’..your passion for food, diet and exercise is inspirational..;) I wish I could read the book completely before giving it back to you..:P Nevertheless, I’ll take it again whenever we meet in future..;) Wishing you all the success in life...Good Luck..!! :)...

VINEETA JHA

Hitesh ~ my neighbor in J-block....A very frank guy.....Over-enthusiastic in everything he does....He is multi-talented and has a very pushing nature.... He is one who takes critic positively and strives for continuos improvement...He will be involved in every damn event happening on campus....Very friendly in nature (which can be seen from his popularity even among IPM students :P) Over these two years at Planet-I, our friendship has got stronger and I hope it continues in the same way in future...

Hitesh, you have always been a dear friend....We have had wonderful times together pulling legs of someone or the other (especially Vamsi n Dhingra... :P) Your ‘Moov Spray’ wala encounter with Dhingra will always be remembered....I am sure with the potential and talent you possess, you will definitely make it big in life!!!! I wish you all the luck, success and happiness in life....You will be missed....so do keep in touch....Gulf jaake bhulna mat....:) Cheers!!!! ...KARAN RATHOD

I get to know Hitesh bit late but now I know him well ;). I remember the 1st time we had a good talk in the bus during our visit to Utsaha. He is a fun loving person and very active in college extracurricular activities. He has a nice personality and I am happy to have known him. I wish him all the very best for his future goals in life!!! ...SAURAV DEMTA

Tabhi se laga yeh banda mast hai, and I got u as a neighbour. Had a hand in almost all the events happening on campus, marathon, utsah, mridang, hurdang, theatre club, drama club, movie club n what not. Your epic expressions about ‘you know what’ I’ll always remember, and definitely share the stories :D. Have fun, mate. Wish you the best :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

A very spirited person who is extremely excited and passionate about everything he does - that is what I have learnt about you in the brief interaction we had as part of Bazinga team. You were a great teammate.

Keep up the enthusiasm! :)...M DIVYA DEEPTHI

Bhai! what should i say about you? Tere liye jo bhi words he wo bina censorship ke nai bol sakta :P the naughty baba of Planet I!

Eshwar: The god of Planet I....sounds like the name of south Indian movie dubbed in Hindi?...jokes apart you are really the god..I can simply not count the number of moments you have saved all of us from various troubles. I am really proud to have you as a friend. We had some really memorable moments....be it section parties, assignments, birthday bumps and numerous other events. I would cherish all these moments forever... I wish you all the very best for all your future endeavours...Keep in touch !!!...ANIKET YEVALKAR

There are people i like, there are people I respect and finally, there are people I adore. Eshwar falls in the 3rd category! You’ll never find a person so innately tuned to helping all around him as if his life depended on it. In my zillion interactions and mega-million conversations, I’ve never seen any flash of negativity in him (maybe he suffers from a deficiency of anger causing hormones :P). A born leader, he leads by adulation, not direction. A cult of Eshwar has already been created on campus and personally, I would love to be a member of it for my days to come. We have had our share of fun, from DJ nights to Section parties to Sarafa at 2 am to ‘Mamaji Ki Dhaba’ to shifting uncomfortably in our seats during ‘Wolf of Wall Street’. Never a man to miss the chance to shake a leg, his dance steps are iconic, and so is his Hindi(but please don’t say the word taught to you by Punit out loud :P). Eshwar-be rest assured, your army will follow you wherever you take them(excluding Pidellite :P) :)....APAL

The Academic Rep of our college and the God of assignments :D. I really had a great time with you buddy. It all started in Section E’s.

Trust me, from the moment I met you I have been in complete awe

of you. You never did anything wrong to anyone. Everyone is always so happy with you. And You do it so effortlessly that one can be nothing but impressed with you. You were the perfect CR trust me. We bonded over the Back benches and Class parties of Section E. You are always laughing and cracking jokes and trust me I really had a great great time with you :).

One thing that is certain is that you are going to do a kickass job at Pidilite.

Just wherever you go stay in touch buddy :). Success would definitely come to you :)...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

The Mr. Helpful of Planet - I. You came across as a very frank and genuine guy the very first time I spoke to you, and the impression has only been reinforced over the last 2 years. A totally fun guy, but at the same time someone who makes sure that the work is done properly. Looking forward to working with you at Pidilite!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Hola.! One of my first friends on campus...It took not more than one conversation to learnt that Eshwar is one of a kind person. He has tons of patience and he is the one I can rely upon if I find a problem. . I wonder how can he remember all the deadlines and put those ‘gentle reminders’...

And Eshwar, I always remember the interaction with you.. Keep in touch buddy..! Cheers..! ...AMBATI AVINASH

Eshwar- By far the most famous and loved guy from our batch on campus.

I never thought when we met in first year that we would become such good friends and also that you would become the Acad Com Secy :P. But seriously, the reason why so many people like you is that you are so honest and genuine. Stay always like that and everything else will just fall in place. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

The most wonderful and down-to-earth person I came across on the campus. Very helpful, amazing speaker, highly organised with his thoughts.

A methodical and systematic person. no wonder he has solution and explanation for everything u ask for. I have attended his workshops and got chance to be interviewed by him and had an learning experience all the times I confabulated with him. You truly are a gem of a person. Be as you are! Best of Luck!...NEHA SUSHILKUMAR BHOMIA

Met him for the first time in bangalore at MDI interviews. He is an entirely different person on campus..well respected and fun loving....It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

Eshwar - First off: Apologies, for all the fun I’ve had at your expense.

Second: Thanks for providing me with those countless opportunities to have fun ;) I doubt you will forget or let me forget how I was “bribing” (in your words) people to not vote for you. In the end, I am in no doubt that the batch could not have had a better Acad Com Secy.

We have had a lot of fun over the last two years with the friendly verbal jibes at each other. You are an awesome sport and a terrific guy. I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to know you both through work and as a friend. All the best! I’m sure you will continue to be great :) ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Eshwar... I remember all the fun times we had during the first year..u r one of the most hardworking and honest guys that I know..very dedicated to ur work..just keep up the spirit.. wish u loads of success for ur future..Cheers!!...SOURABH BAGLA

Eshwar,i first met you when i gave an interview for acadcom and i remember going to the night mess where i met neha(bhomia) who was also trying out for acadcom and we both agreed you were adorable and it would be worth being in acadcom just to be able to talk to you:P I have possibly given you more headaches than any other CR and yet you have always talked to me like you totally get me which is impossible coz i am a ranting lunatic half the time.One thing that i will always remember is during summer internship when i had just gotten to know i didnot make it to HUL,i called you out of the blue,blurted out “i didnot make it to HUL..i am not getting any shortlists” and broke down and you were so understanding and you asked me to hang in there.24 hours later i made it and you were one of the 1st people i informed.I wish i had gotten an opportunity to know you better but from whatever i do know about you,i can assure you life will be good and life will be kind to you coz you are a good person...an exceedingly good person.Others might remember you for your hard work and your sheer talent..but for me,You will always be the everything i want to be-kind,compassionate and so deserving of all the happiness that life has in store for you ...SHNEHA

CR of our section, I took him as a CR by heart, his contact in my fone is still saved by the name CR. One of the nicest persons I met. So much helpful and accommodating in nature, even being a CR of class of 80 people, I donâ??t think anybody wud have cribbed against him (which is very usual for representatives :P). I am sure with this type of talent

along with your very soft spoken and kind nature you are going to excel in future. Stay in touch. â?º...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

Almost a decade ago, there used to be a skinny little guy who used to study with me in high school (PUC)... He used to be quirky, sharp, quick witted but always the butt of many jokes.. We even used to call him Koli (meaning chicken in Kannada).. Now the very same skinny little guy is just a phenomenon over here.. There a volumes that can be written about this guy. His demonstration of leadership and his work over the past two years is just too amazing... I am so glad to have know you Koli... I am very proud of whatever you have achieved here. I am sure you will make all of us proud by doing extremely well in your life.... Stay the way you are and all of us love you for what you are... All the best!!!! ...PREETAM R GUPTA

Eshwara... I distinctly remember our first interaction and my first impression for you. You have always been very ambitious, organised and methodical person. It has been great fun pulling your leg stereotyping you as a Madrasi...:P. I still laugh at some of the choicest lines like “Rape Randi” which would mean “welcome” in your mother tongue but would mean entirely different a thing in Hindi....:P. Your birthday eve, I believe, in my memory was the worst I had ever seen. The way you were thrashed and beaten right left was a scene I can’t fail to forget. Nonetheless, It’s always fun talking to you although we d it sporadically.But now that we share the same organisation, I am sure there would be more to know about you. Be the same helpful, kind, organised self that you are. Cheers..:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Eshwar, you’re one gem of a person dude. I can’t think of anyone else who would handle the responsibility of a CR with so much magnanimity.

You’ve been always very eager to help us poor folks, be it negotiating with profs to extend the deadlines, getting the quizzes cancelled or convincing the PGPO to move classes. You were the one to start mailing the entire section inviting them to fellow classmate’s b’day. I think you did a terrific job as the Acadcom secy and really deserve a round of applause. You have always been sporty enough whenever I cracked jokes on you. I hope you take up higher and higher PORs in your professional life and lead a great life. Do always stay in touch! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Our introduction (remember the silly ‘foul play episode’??..:D) not withstanding, you have always dome across as one of the most sincere, hardworking and approachable people on campus. One of those people on

campus from whom you want to learn something. In your case, that will be your composure, effort and perseverance. It was great to interact with you, mostly during second year. Stay connected. May God bless you. Sure you’ll do well in corporate career.:) ATB....Vishal Vyas

Our very own CR and my fellow bangalorean (always proud wen talking bout bangalore bro \m/ ... one of the friendliest ppl on campus, always ready for a chat, be it over breakfast or in the corridors ... great at handling any sort of stress ... and how cud i forget always successful in getting deadlines postponed (love u for that bro :-P) ... Im sure ul achieve great success in whatever u do - ur wired dat way !! Have a great life ahead and stay in touch :-) ... Cheers !! ...SWAROOP S SHENOI

Eshwar â?? the person who always listens when anyone calls out for him. Youâ??re like a go-to guy. Iâ??ve never seen someone handle positions of responsibility with so much grace as you have. Youâ??re always looking out for friends and are really good at heart. Hopefully youâ??re â??Pidlite ka jodâ?? will keep us connected for times to come. All the best ! I have no doubt youâ??ll do superwell!!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Yes babaaa, if you still remember, we were in the same Bakra group â?? X9. The sincerity and dedication this Bangalore lad showed during the Bakra days was a sign of the times to come. We all got to see his people skills when he was the CR of our section. In spite of some tough decisions that he might have had to take during his CR stint, there was no one who would speak ill of Eshwar â?? such a charismatic leader this guy is. Very sincere at his work, Eshwar and his team of RARE are always the favorites when it comes to winning contests. The one thing I love about Eshwar is his smile even in the face of difficulties and his willingness to help out anyone who approaches him. You are definitely going to one of the best IIM Indore will ever produce. All the best baba!...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

I remember meeting you in the IIM Indore interview in Bangalore. ( Though you always reject this). I think a testimonial is not enough to acknowledge the amazing character you are. Hardworking, Selfless, Excellent Orator, Ingenious Problem Solver, Level Headed, Jovial : These are the words that come to my mind ( Forgive me if I missed out anything).You were also someone very helpful to the entire student

community whether it was related to scheduling exams or bidding queries or the legendary goof-ups by PGPO. The maturity with which you handled the crisis ( Rebidding) during internship deserves a standing ovation. You were also a nice friend to talk to . I am happy to have met you. You have a great future ahead. Stay in touch. Keep Rocking.!!...SUMANTH J

Eeeshwarr..you are awesome! I met you in the very first lecture that Diro took in SRC and we had an instant connect. Secion E, I block, C block..we have had a lot of good times. Undoubtedly the best CR in 12-14, the whole batch will vouch for that. You are the reason I got B2B. Always indebted to you for that dude. I am sure you will touch the moon with your sincerity and dedication. But still, no work the AcadCom does!! :P...Abhish Nair

Eshwar- the lord indeed....my friend,philosopher and guide @ IIM I, thanks a ton for the constant support n guidance....:)...Have never come across a guy so sincere n honest,, started respecting you right from the time i first met you during the AcadCom interviews, though u rejected me that time....:(...but it was great fun n a great learning experience working with you in Chanakya and CI. Dude believe me even today PGP 1 gals are asking for your number from me and i know at least 10 of them who go weak on their knees on seeing you....;)...Wish u all the luck in all your future endeavours and i assure you I’ll be constantly disturbing you whenever I need some Life ki Gyaan form my “Lord”- Eshwar....:)...Rock on and Live strong...:)...TRISHAL KARAN BHAGAT

Eshwar, I still can’t believe the level of adoration you receive from a lot of people in the batch da, truly unmatched! I don’t remember how exactly we met but it would have been really great if I had gotten to know you a lot better (I don’t know how that could have been possible though, cuz even I know your famed ‘sorry, was a little busy routine’ ;)) but from the interactions we had whenever we met, you came across as a level-headed guy, always in control and quite meticulous! What I can tell you for sure is that it will be very easy for us to catch up if we run into each other sometime in the future :) Cheers and all the best for years to come!...Avinash Chidambar

One of the most accomplished, yet humble person I have ever come across at Indore, you personify a great leader in the making. Always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, you have been there to rescue us from a sticky situation many a times. Your calm and poised demeanour is something I envy immensely! Whenever I have approached you with an

issue, you have managed to resolve it, so effortlessly that I am left in awe! Thank you for all the guidance and support you have given! You have set a high benchmark for many of us to follow! All the very best in all your future endeavours! Cheers!! :) ...SRUTHI SRINIVASAN

Extremely intelligent, multitalented, dedicated and possessing the best people (& PGPO) management skills!The most adored & lookedup-to person on campus..i wonder how you manage anything & everything without ever complaining! Remember bugging you with my bidding woes..and pulling your leg at Cafe Terazza..Was a pleasure knowing you & working with you. Have a great life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

First, let me apologize for pulling your leg so many times. I did it not because I could, but because I knew you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind it. I really admire your humility and your helpful approach and wish to emulate you, as much as I can. Your oratory/ presentation skills are amazing and I feel thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot I can learn from you. May God grant all that you desire.

Best wishes, until we meet next.. ...GANGAR MITESH LAXMICHAND

Eshwar the Dabur and Pidlite Man. One of the coolest senior of the PGP2 batch. I got a great opportunity to work with him as part of Corporate involvement in Ahvan and Guest Relations in Mridang. He was always calm and composed and treated rookies like us in a very gentle manner. I learned a lot from you in terms of commitment and dedication. God bless and may you achieve great laurels in all your future endeavors. Gyanesh ...GYANESH PHULAMBRIKAR

I find a lot of things common between the two of us. Great English (though Vekhande would disagree -_-), inability to remember how much money your friends owe you etc etc. What I lack, and what you have in abundance, is sheer hard work and a sense of responsibility. I, like many others in our batch, feel that IIM Indore has given them a lot.

But I did little for the college. You probably have worked for the college more than anyone else!! You were the ideal CR, the ideal Acadcom Secy and more importantly for me, the ideal friend. Vekhande has introduced me to a lot of people on campus, but you are the one I cherish the most. You have accomplished a lot in your two years here, but your most important accomplishment is the fact that everyone here (me the most :P) feels genuinely happy for you when you succeed in anything. I am sure you will accomplish everything you want in life.

Just go for it. Okay buddy? :P ...SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI

Boss you are one dude of this campus. we got to come together to work in chanakya but i wish we could have worked more in may other areas and events. Got to learn a lot from you and i sincerely hope to learn more in the coming years. Keep in touch and always be the helpful senior which you are.Cheers!!...KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA

Random encounters.. that is how it was with you.. we never really sat down and had a chat.. but courtesy Debsoc and my attendance emergency ( :-P ) we did get some time to spend together.. A helpful and grounded person.. Sweet and smart.. Wish we make up for the time lost here somewhere in the future.. Stay in touch.. All the best :-) ...ADITI AGGARWAL

My first friend on campus..calling each other frantically to get the bakra group in formation..and in all the chaos comes this fatherly figure(:P) who u know is going to sort things out and everthing will be ok..in the darkness of H-block doing an assignment on BSE was my first impression of his sincerity and dedication which I still today admire. Then the long walks and doing his mimicry would be great fun..his incessant taunts and then vain when the taunts would cease to have an effect on me would be just too funny now that I see them..RIP was a time of bonding and AOE really got us close(army of monks :P) A quiet 4th terms and my trip on exchange kinda kept the contact to the minimum, but then old friends will always be special even after long..and the term back with AOE and cards and walks has further strengthened the friendship which I know is going a long way.. always keep your taunts coming and know that I actually enjoy and learn from them :) Cheers! :D...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

The first memory I have of you is the session you conducted on how to handle GDs and our entire batch became a fan of yours. You are one of the seniors whom I look upto and always wished had got more chances to interact and learn from the ocean of qualities that you possess - be it winning so many competitions or the excellent oratory skills. One will always be greeted by a sweet smile whenever one meets you. Very polite, helpful and patiently answered all my queries. Wish you all the very best and please do stay in touch :-) it was great knowing you :-) Have a great life ahead :-)...ANKITA

Eshwar, one person on campus with whom I have always always enjoyed spending time.:) Such is your aura that our association which started on

an academic front (quite literally :P) and went on to become a personal bond of friendship too quickly. There is something magical about you that make people go enthralled by you. You are genuinely a great guy and a helping hand for almost everyone. It has always been fun to work with you in academic committee :D You are a great leader, a fantastic orator and true professional. I have always admired the way you handle situations; always calm and composed, never ever irked by any damn circumstance and being organised at whatever you do. :) A piece of advice for you, please do not use the hindi word which you have learnt of late, itâ??s pathetic and horrible ;) :P It was a pleasure being with you, I know we would definitely be in touch. :) I wish you all the very best for your future endeavours, success is something which will always knock your door! I hope our paths cross again and we meet again somewhere :)...PRAKARSH AREN

We first got to interact in RIP when I realized how nice and genuine this guy is. PS: Ok not that nice, he was my partner in crime in taking Shrikanth’s case. His attempts to speak Hindi at various occasions made us all burst out into laughter. Amarkantak was good. Besides the regular chilled out guy that I got to know first, there is this whole workaholic side to him which I’ve seen through the year in Acadcom, CI, Chanakya and competitions. But I witnessed it closely only recently during CRM when we were group mates and struggled to analyse those tough cases. Extremely talented and a genuinely nice person - Eshwar is the perfect CR and God for many. May you achieve the best in future as well. Looking forward to Pidilite....Raoul Lopes

Praising Esh to his face is going to be awkward for both of us :P I don’t even know where to start! Selfless, clever, smart, hardworking, sincere and the adjectives can continue forever. I don’t want this to get repetitive, most of these qualities have already been mentioned numerous times in the testimonials. Just like an elder brother, he has always been so protective about me and has been a constant pillar of support for me through thick and thin. He has played a major role in whatever few things I know today. Had all of you guys not helped me during the placement season, I doubt I would have made it this far. I am so going to miss the senseless talks we have approx. million times a day!

It’s difficult to even imagine oneself in his place, continuously helping everyone out. I seriously think our college and the student community owes him a lot! There is so much for all of us to learn from you. Also, I think it’s high time you learn to say ‘no’ sometimes. Chal, I don’t think

I have to write much here to convey my thoughts and emotions. You are the best Esh! We all love you sooo much! P.S. This is the only time I have not abused you I guess :D...VEKHANDE AJINKYA KESHAV

Undoubtedly the most loved and admired person in our batch. There cannot be even a single girl in the junior batch who wouldn’t know him ;).

You are very smart, hardworking, selfless and kind. You have displayed your leadership abilities in every task that you have undertaken. You have become an ideal for many people. You are quite cool and funny in your own way and its always fun to hang out with you. I would love to hear your Hindi which you used during summer internship in Ghaziabad. All the very best in future and I know you will be highly successful. Keep in touch :)...Tushar Gupta

A testimonial cant justify how much I value my friendship with Eshwar, so I would put it succinctly- among all the good things that have happened here including getting my dream job at DB, I would say getting to know Eshwar is easily the most significant event of my last 2 years...Deepak Talluri

Eshwar!! An Epitome for many adjectives. After all these testimonials, it would be cliched to mention all again. Dude, you command respect from everyone. You are a role model to many. Everyone like to see you succeed more and more. I wish you all the very best for all your future endeavors.

Fly high and high. Maza maadi and Sigona!!!...SURESH MALLULA

Eshwar, apart from being a great mentor, you have been a role model to me. Everyday, I ask myself what should I do, eat, read to become half as efficient, smart, intelligent , humble and down to earth as you. Your leadership has taught me so many things however Iâ??m still longing for more. Today, whenever I have an issue the first name that comes to my mind is yours. Your support and guidance helped me sail through the toughest of times. Iâ??m grateful that I had the chance to work and be nurtured by a super human being and an awesome mentor. Will you a lot.

I hope you achieve all your dreams and be successful in all your future endeavors ï?? SIDDHARTH GOVIL ...SIDDHARTH GOVIL

“Alright buddy.. See you”.. I am sure you end conversations with your parents too like this.. There has never been a phone call which dint end like this.. But seriously Maluri, it was just too much fun knowing you and pulling your leg.. I don’t want to go all emo by saying your the most dedi-

cated CR and all but you know what I mean.. Plus, saying all that outright would mean praising my own self.. After all I was your mentor, wasn’t I? Haha.. I think you are a genuinely nice person... And I know this because even after you tried pulling my leg, you always ended up praising me! I know one thing for sure,, DebSoc would’ve crashed and burnt without you... I hope you get a girl soon... And ya, I am pretty sure I can give you a run for your money when it comes to handling the PGPO... It was an honour.. And thank me for letting you be the CR by tanking my interview.. Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

Eshwar is someone I can go on and on praising! Someone I wouldn’t mind losing out to because he truly deserves the best in everything :-D I clearly remember how he missed his acadcom interview but was given a second chance cuz Aditya and I were not good enough :-P And the rest is history.. he’s been the best CR ever! so dedicated and understanding..and never getting bothered by our unending requests and queries (or atleast not showing it on his face :-P) and always wishing well for all of us! :-) Trust me, our first year wouldn’t have been so smooth had it not been for you! And you only reinforced our beliefs my becoming the acad com secy.. I have also had the fortune of working with him in the corporate involvement team of ahvan and I can proudly say that he is complete fun to hang out with!! :-) truly a gem of a person..extremely helpful and approachable and someone who would take such good care of everyone on his team! I hope you manage to find a girl for yourself soon..who is as amazing as you :-D Here’s wishing you loads of luck and happiness in life.. keep in touch and stay blessed! :-) it’s been a pleasure knowing and am going to miss you alot! ...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

You are in the first term of your MBA (apparently a dog-eat-dog situation) and your CR mails the entire class regarding an assignment “Since we hardly have any time in the morning to take print outs, I’ll try taking the printouts for everyone so that it saves time” and I was like what is this guy? Since then, EMS has been a lot of things to me - from being THE best CR ever possible to being someone where I could vent out all my frustration to providing a room where I go whenever I get bored to being one of the best friends on campus. I respect you for a whole-damn-list of things and its unnecessary to put it here, but I would definitely mention what I would treasure the most: The “Oh-no-why-is-this-thing-not-proper”, “All-right-buddy”, “Bbb-bye”,

“I-hate-this-xyz-thing”, “Don’t-worry-I-will-take-care-of-that”, “Oi-gandu”, “That-fake-smile”, “The-extremely-powerful-single-processor” et al. You are like the life of the group! Canâ??t imagine these 2 years without you “bhaaya” (bro :P). “rarE” zindabad! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

MALUR!!!! EMS!!! I was definitely going to follow my 1 (nicknames) + 3 (incident) + 1 (Wish you luck) funda here, but then I thought you would not include it in the final draft!! My best student in terms of Excel, you surpassed your Master (Shifu) when you made the Clash Timetable. One of the most down-to-earth guys, your “Its OK, I will handle it” attitude was always an inspiration. Your calm patience is the one point I value the most, mainly cos I lack it sorely!! The incident part will span about 18 months, so I will just skip it. Suffice to say that you were my go-to-guy always... Be it studies, cribbing (see I accept it now), tp etc. Please keep track of how much money you lend to friends and you will be on your way to Nirvana.

Obv you will stay in touch, as if you can survive otherwise!! :P...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

Hi Eshwar, a year just went by and I realised I hardly know you. But, that’s okay. I know things that matter, everything else I’ll get to know later. You are one of the most dignified persons on the campus. Your patience is inspiring and your humility is overwhelming. I have enjoyed working with you as much as I’ve enjoyed poking fun at our team members during the meetings. You are this incredible person whom I can always fall back on.

I will miss having you around. Do keep in touch. I’d like to know you more than I do now. :)...NAMRATA LOHAT

ohh.... Don’t worry...This was the accustomed reply, whenever I approached you with a problem. You were always there to help. Whatever may be the issue., you dealt everything with a smile and that was sufficient to provide the required motivation. All the very best, stay in touch, may god bless you....BARLEEN KAUR

Hey Eshwar, I can never thank you enough for all the help and support that you provided during the difficult times. You made every problem seem so small and manageable. I will always remember you for your humility and leadership qualities. You are an amazing person. I am sure you will do great in life. Best of luck! Stay in touch :)...VRITI SIDANA

Eshwar so much has been said about u already....but u do know that i so admire the good human being u r...u r extremely talented, excellent

speaker and ready to help no matter what the time..u planned the best section parties...negotiated the best deals with the profs...u were the best CR ever...I will always remember our rivalry related to marks and rank...how funny it ws when i told u the “C” word and u learnt it by heart and never missed a chance to call me the same...u made the best reports, was the hero of all the competitions and the most adored guy on campus (by girls and guys as well :P)...i still hav to treat u fr the AMR assignment...some awesum work u did....always remain this humble and smiling guy that we know....u will achieve the best in life bhai...best of luck and keep in touch C**** :)...PUNIT GUPTA

You are one person I would approach always, if I need any kind of help.

I hope one day I can repay all the favors. You are an absolute gem I am lucky to have you as a friend....PANKAJ DNYANDEO KOLTE

You are one of the most helpful and patient people I know. And I know this courtesy acadcom :) Acadcom meetings and outings used to be so much fun. We have had so many fun conversations pulling each others leg about silly things. It was a memorable time :) And I will always remember how you supported me during the acadcom selection :) Always stay this way and do keep in touch :)...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Eshwr...probably one of the most respected people in our batch... ever smiling and always pleasant to talk to you...we never really got a chance to interact much but I alway shad a positive feeling after talking to you...its funny how even when you are complaining about PGPO you seem calm (a huge task to keep calm with them). I remember when I needed some help to pitch to Dabur you immediately agreed to help....It was very sweet of you....m sure Pidilite will thank the day they chose you...the way you have achieved great heights here m sure you will do the same in your life! All the best and good luck :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Eshwar.. as the name aptly suggest he is the ‘God’ of planet-I.. One of the most influential persons of IIM Indore.. I take pride in been associated to you.. Whatever might be the problem you always have a solution.. Hope I get a chance again to work with you and definitely enjoyed working with you in CI !!!!!! All the best :-) ...Aditya Kharbade

Eshwar...being a part of Acadcom has been a great experience and u

had a very important role to play in that. U were alwaz ready to help and advice everytym i called u up ...I hope you took all the leg pulling in the right spirit...u are a really honest guy and u have been a great secy..do stay in touch and atb :)...CHIRAG ARORA

Malluri, tu toh mast hai! :0 I couldn’t have asked for a better bestie! I admire and respect you for countless number of things and often wish that I had some of your qualities, your kindness and your commitment, Life wouldn’t have been this good without you! There is so much more, but can’t put it in words. :) Lots of hugs Malluri! To a life time of friendship! :)...RICHA PODDAR

Eshwar working with you in Chanakya was a great experience. You are one of the most smartest guys I have come across. The way you go out of the way to help others is very well known at campus. Hope to learn this quality from you. Wish you all the best for your future endeavors, you’ll rock wherever you go. Cheers!!...SALIL AGGARWAL

Eshwar! God level ho tum! An inspiration and an amazing friend to me.

I speak all day but I am actually running out of words to describe how superb a person you are. I tease you all the time..specially with Sainath but you know im just looking for that cute smile on your face :D Im sorry couldnt invite you home when you were in Delhi..but promise me you are going to come home to eat tasty rajasthani food whenever you come to delhi. It was amazing being in Section E majorly because of you. Thank you Eshwar for making Section E the best section ever. Had so much fun planning those parties. One more to go :D All the best for life...this lil girl is always there whenever you want to talk :D ...PALAK MAHANOT

One of the most popular guys on campus and rightfully so! You are a very very friendly and approachable guy! At times you are probably the most insightful guy in the class and it is a sheer joy listening to your CPs..at other times you are equally clueless about this stuff (read: CRM , AMR). A very affable guy who is sure to achieve great things in life! Stay awesome Eshwar!...MONAMI BAGCHI

It is quite difficult writing a testimonial for someone like Eshwar. Nonetheless, this is my humble effort. Just go to him with any problem and he will always ensure that he takes time out for you despite his commitments. That speaks volumes of his magnanimity. He always has a cheerful disposition and will give you advice that is never laced with insincerity.

Extremely patient and approachable, his humility and ability to empathize will take him, I hope, to the fulfillment of all his dreams and aspirations. I wish you the best, my dear friend!...SYED ERAJ HASSAN

Eshwar! The sweetly you talk, the sweetly you abuse;), the responsible you are who has managed and influenced the whole batch. Have always known you as friends of friends. How multi tasking you are definitely deserves a pat ;). Had a really wonderful time during HOP, it was a surprise to see you trek so fast which seemed very unlikely in ur case initially :P â?¦ All in all happy to have come across youâ?¦ Keep in touch , wsh u luck in achieving great heights ï??...SUMITA KERKETTA

The leader of Es Army this guy has ensured that Section E will be the most tightly knit section when the IIM journey comes to an end. Hes the most calm, thoughful, helpful guy i have met. He’s by far the best speaker on campus and his fluidity while speaking especially during the confusing bidding session will always be remembered. This guy is just too good for words yet so humble. You cant not cheer up if you talk to this guy even for a minute. His accent and his sayings are funny and he gets picked on alot becoz of this(Yes baba, Hey buddy :P). Iv seen this guy labor in PGPO for hours behind the scenes and inspite of every1 appreciating what he does im sure they dont know even the half of it. If you want to know how to balance acads, friends, extra curricular responsibilities and yet stay true to urself you should emulate Eshwar, for me one of the most respected guys on campus. Cheers buddy and all the best for the future...Aaron DSouza

a really genuine guy.. the pillar of section E- the best section only coz of u!.. a great speaker.. ur contributions to the clg acivities hv been unmatchable! m sure all these yrs, no one wud hv headed Acadcom the way u hv! dont ever lose dat sweet smile.. all the vry best for future!!...

DARSHITA DOSHI

ISHAN

BOSE

God’s favourite child Ishan Bose is a revelation. The prodigal son, The One, Jesus’ second coming are few of the terms used to refer to Him. Seriously, I’ve never seen anyone as eccentric as you! But your perseverance, intelligence and problem solving skills... hats off. People often talk about thinking outside the box, but you’ve never been in the box in the first place. You also happen to be one of the very few people I really connected with. Had a lot of fun times with you, especially working for competitions and partying. Stay in touch, we’ve got a lot more to do, though nothing like the music video please :P Pretty sure you’ll go on to target unpenetrated population successfully :D...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Bose!! Saw you during the Bakra days with the Guitar! :) I realized that moment itself that this guy is a true entertainer! :) Though did not get to interact with you much during PGP-1, we shared the same section and hey that was fun with you cracking some cool joikes and making the whole class laugh out loud with your epic PJs. Then obviously there was exchange trip. I can never forget in my whole life the Munich incident when you had come to my apartment and went to somebody else’s room instead! :) haha..that was so funny that everyone rofled to that ! :) I know only you have that capability to bring smiles to so many. Then we had some fun time in Paris and Reims (Pallav’s House).

Your camaraderie with Meghwant was to watch out for! ( you can get what I am upto :P ) Though I did not know this personally, but I heard from sources that you have done excellent job at klueless and Share!

And then that competition at JBIMS that you won single handedly, shut many voices which spoke against you. Wishing you all the success!! cheers...RAHUL YADAV

There are people and then there is Bose. You are a unique amalgam of intellect and eccentricity. From philosophy to football, your range of interests is so diverse and I guess it is this melange of interests, that you pursue so passionately, which makes you stand out of the crowd. You have an innate ability to impress (and even overwhelm) anyone with your analytical prowess. And your one liners are to die for! I have had many wonderful experiences partying with you and Kiran. Now that we are colleagues (albeit in different profiles), I sincerely look forward to working and partying more often with you. Wishing you a successful career ahead.

Cheers! ...ANAND MALHOTRA

Bose ( or DK as he is known by many), you are indeed one of the most intelligent persons that I have come across. It was fun working with you for the JBIMS competition, which we won only because of you. And the best thing about you, you take all our jokes in the right spirit. You have a never say die attitude, which will make sure that you do amazingly well in your corporate life. Cheers!!...ARINDAM PAUL

CFA preparation and coincidental Night mess meetings..haha.. never understood how it happened numerous times. You are a good person to talk to and the conversation is always very interesting. Hoping the same alma mater for under grad and post grad will keep us connected for long. Keep in touch and wishing you all the success in life.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

Well, literally the ‘Guy Next Door’ for me, Bose is down to earth, level headed guy who sometimes does these funny stuff which will make you ROFL :P From being my partner in the fund we intended to start to being one of the Poker-partner recently, I have a memory of you being someone who wants to expand to various facets of life. I hope you keep doing that.. entertaining people and marching ahead in your life. All the very best....

VIVEK THEBARIA Well Ishan, to me u are one of those quiet and composed people ... extremely friendly after I got to know u, ur someone I’ve always associated with the Night Mess :-) ... Being a fellow Jhonny, we did manage to have some fun J-block parties together (remember making the “J” with coke and fanta bottles :-P) ... Keep smiling and stay happy bro ... Have a wonderful life ahead :-)...SWAROOP S SHENOI

Oh bose where do i even begin. some of your eccentricities (like the latest one in CI) makes me go mad with laughter. I have no idea how your brains

functions and am sure u have no idea either. Our passion for puzzles and KLUELESS will form an eternal bond. Its great fun sitting in class with you and creating ridiculous levels or playing that gravity X&O’s game (will beat u someday:P). Your ability to think is an envy to many in the campus am sure . Stay out of the box bose..thats where you belong and thats where you’ll shine ...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI

Ishan Bose had made a pretty lasting impression in the bakra session itself. Will not forget him writing “Input-Chemicals, Output-Farmers” or something of that sort during bakra and having everyone in splits.

With a baritone like Amitabh Bachhan and a fiercely independent mind, you will surely go places. I still vividly remember how resplendent you looked in your kurta dhoti during Shandhi Puja on Ashtami during Durga Puja ‘12.You pretty much made the rest of us look like homeless drug addicts :D. Have a great life ahead. Wish you loads of success and hopefully our paths will cross in the future :) :)...SAYAN BAGCHI My vocabulary of curses fell short after you took my bakra interview.

Those fifteen minutes of torture seemed like eternity. But I have to say, what a start!!! You helped me through committee preprocesses and in the little things that sorta shaped my stay here in Planet-I. You will always be remembered as one who is smart, chilled out, sportive â?? ready to go places. Good luck! ...ADITYA GHOSH

Ishan, You are very nice person to talk to. I remember the conversations in common room watching sports. Though I interacted less with you I have some perception of how good you are ( so many people have talked at great length about you. One being Hegde). Though we are parting now I am sure that I will bump into u at a sports event soon.

Stay in touch man. ATB.! :)...SUMANTH J

Bosey, you’re one of probably 3 guys on campus who always made me feel shorter! :P I’ll always remember how I kept dodging your calls for GOMC!! :D :D Esp. that time when I picked up by accident and cut the call immediately :P :D I’m laughing to myself thinking about it as I write this! The fact that we teamed up for OCD and CBC’s competition after that says enough! I had heard about your legendary drive to slam competitions man (you know when you were in Europe, I rode that wave of rivalry I felt and managed to put a good number of corporate competition-related stuff on my resume! Not that it mattered in the

end :P) You always came off seeming unconventional to me, but managed to make that work for you... Alongside some plainly weird habits as well (pacing inside the mess, sipping chai?) but that never subtracted from how interesting a guy you were! Here’s to kickass times comin up at Cog’s EBA! We’ll do a fair bit of travelling (if I haven’t been to those places already that is :P) for sure! Cheers! ...Avinash Chidambar

Brose! Dude the first thing that comes to mind is Ice cream at 2.30 in the morning when it’s 10 degrees outside. The irony is that that one sentence just describes who you are in the most perfect way possible. You are one of the most chill guys on campus but behind that chilled facade is a driven maniac at times :) You’ve been a good friend and we have had some really fun times together. Here’s to life ahead and to a career filled with the best of times for you! Cheers....VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

You have earthquakes,storms,cyclones and you have Bose.Bose,simply put, is a phenomenon, no more ,no less.Typical Klueless worry - You need new puzzles and are really short on time.In comes Bose with his trademark accent. “Abey yaar Aappy , ye le bees level” and everyone is awestruck.Bose’s one liners are legendary and I genuinely feel that if you haven;t met Bose you’ve missed out on one of the dimensions of IIM indore.Any testimonial about Bose would be incomplete without a video.All the best for a happy future Bose !...HARSHVARDHAN V

Another fellow bong and tho you have doubts about your accent at times,, trust me its good enough. Bosey as he is fondly called is a store house of craziness and humor. The ideas you come up with can shock even the brightest think tanks. Witty, energetic and friendly, Bosey is always there to cheer things up. I still remember the your evergreen dance moves and expressions in farewell party last year. Hope to see it again :P Wish you all the best for your future :)...DIPAYAN KARMAKAR

Bose is one of the most unique person I have met in the campus. He is a full entertainer, you will surely end up laughing when he is around. One of the great things about him is that he doesn’t mind if the joke is on him and takes it in the right spirit. He lives life to the fullest (visited most no. of countries on exchange).He is a person with never say die attitude (always ready for second game of chess poker even after losing :P )and one who is afraid of nothing, A total relaxed but at the same time hard working person. Great to have met u and keep making us laugh.I always said to him that he is very creative (Fin chhod marketing kar ) and he did ended up in

a role requiring innovative thinking :) :)...UDIT BOKARIA

“Booschhh”, the guy whom you can always find with an ice cream or a banana at any time of the day. It began from the J block and you still have remained an exciting guy. Be it your guitar playing or the fact that you didn’t use DC--”how did you live without DC?”. Well you are a great sport dude and it has been great being around you. You always end up making people laugh. Thanks for being around yaar and hope to see every moment again. Wish you all the best :)...HARSH RAJ

There is not much left to say after all those testimonials written above.

Still I would like to add few words. Bose as his profile says is an ideal endorser for Student Exchange Program he is a open person ready to shape himself as per changing surroundings. we had really great time during our trip to Praha ! specially that caricature you got for yourself ;) hopefully that was also world’s best :P . On a serious note there cannot be a more jovial person than Bose. A kind hearted soul he is always full of energy.A really bright person, he is fun to be with.An awesome friend, Good luck for the future. ...AMIT KUMAR YADAV

Bose, my Klueless buddy, is the weirdest guy I know in campus :D. That makes him one of the most interesting people too. The is no limit to the craziness he can commit himself to. Spend some time with him and he will keep on surprising you with the weird experiences he had in his life. Some of them might sound too crazy to have actually happened...like the one when he was held at gun point because he sang a song :D :D :P...but as you get to know more about him, u realize that weirder stuff can happen to him. The random statements that blurt out of his mouth on a continuous basis never ceases to shock you and leave you speechless for minutes, till u finally burst out laughing at its insanity. And his jokes...oh boy...they are outta this world when it comes to randomness. His best one according to me was the one about Klueless team...”If Richa was a man, we would have called ourselves Seven and a Half Men”...but I am pretty much sure there would be much more insanely random ones that I don’t know of. I admire him most for his creativity and commitment he puts to stuff he likes doing.

A smart worker, he can do wonders in a short span of time...yea he does have this super human ability to do a lot of stuff in a jiffy. You are gonna go places in life dude...all the best!!...LIVI T KOSHY

Bose. I doubt these 2 years on IIM-I would have been the same with-

out this lanky bloke strutting around the corridors. I remember titling him the ‘gentle giant’ and this description is as apt today as it was then. He’s extremely composed when he talks and makes a lot of sense. Though we couldn’t spend as much time together in second year as we did in our first (partly due to Bose running off to Europe to have a gala time), I know that I can always call upon Bose to have a good conversation and a few very interesting rounds of poker. Cheers Bose. You’re an ambitious guy and you’re little eccentricities will take you a long way in life....ADITYA BALARAMAN

Bose, Having known you for so long now( 7 years :D), it’s all the more tough to write about you. Somehow, i have never been able to associate you with IIM Indore, you will always remain my DCE-COE best friend to me. Since DCE times, you have always been there for me.I can confide anything in you without the fear of you being judgmental about it and that’s the best part about our friendship. Over these 7 years that i have known you, you have really evolved into a much more mature, sensible and balanced personality. and Yet, you are the same when it comes to committing the most silly blunders that no one can think of, cracking random PJs, coming up with eccentric ideas, remembering to study before 2 hours from the start of exam, solving & creating puzzles( mist in dce and klueless in indore) and last but not the least getting your heart bruised by...(need not complete) :P. You are a unique piece with an uncommon sense of logic. I am so glad we came to the same college. All the best for the future bose. We will make sure we talk every week( which somehow didnt happen here). Stay blessed :) :)...AANCHAL GOYAL

Bosey bhaiii!!! The traveller, the singer, the entertainer and the CP man :) I really envy you that you touched almost all of Europe man!! I guess this can be written in world records..I especially remember the BM and CTC classes.. cracking jokes when it got really boring :D It is great to know you man..all d best for future...Nikhil Karanjkar

Ishan, I distinctly remember how you grilled me in the Bakra Stepcom Interview :P That shall remain one of the most memorable experiences for me.. Thanks for being so nice and encouraging! It has been great interacting with you. Wish you a great life ahead! And I shall mimic you when I take the Bakra stepcom interviews this time :)ï??...RAKHI SHARMA

There’s something unique to Bose : uniqueness. He’s just so present on campus it’s so difficult to keep him out of things. With his towering pres-

ence, both literally and figuratively, he is one person the entire batch of 450 would recognize after 5,10,20 years of MBA. His non-chalant attitude about things, his unique choice of words and one-liners is just amazing. To be not affected by what the world thinks of you is such a difficult quality to possess and this guy has truckloads of it. This is one aspect of his personality that’d take him places in life. I’d want to cross you in one of those places Bose. Stay in touch....SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Umm..once a senior always a senior seems to be my case with you... starting from DCE Computer Science to IIM Indore..you know before coming here and actually interacting with you, I had the impression that you are a very serious dont mess with me kind of person. Though after just 1-2 conversations with you here about PORs and foreign exchange, i realised I was wrong.. you are very friendly, approachable and easy to talk to..whenever i run into you I am reminded of DCE somehow more than IIM Indore..in any case..I wish you all the very best for your future!! Do stay in touch!!! Cheers!! :) :)...BHAVAYA GUPTA

This bong is not really a bong ... Are you really a Bong? ..Ur accent doesn’t say so... Very smart and enthusiastic person ... won some big competitions over here.... still remember those occasional yet long discussions in and around J block .... Fin experience and marketing orientation as viewed by people.... I believe consulting was the destination for you :) ... Very jovial and fun to talk to ...attends every request and occasions ... Impossible to forget that late night Dhoti and Kurta during midnight Sandhi Puja of Durga Puja 1st year down in the Patal lok ..asking others to click photos. You will be remembered for your enthusiastic and jovial nature ... Best wishes ... Stay in touch :)...SANJIBAN DUTTA

What a start to IIM Indore..There it was you at the other end during the bakra interview for alum com!! I still remember how you grilled me during that interview and how funny my answers were also to your questions!! It was quite hilarious. :P ( 5% plus minus , alum strength of IIM-I etc.) However u weren’t so khadoos n strict as you showed. You have given me guidance in whatever issues I had, helped me a lot (in fact ‘help’ would be a very small word). An extremely talented person, having a lethal combination of knowledge in both fin and marketing !! Wish you all the very best for your future.. take care.. :) PS: your Bengali is very sweet unlike of what you think. !! :D...MAJUMDAR ARCHITA

Loved your never say die attitude. It is inspiring. And yeah you would for sure hold the record of most number of cities travelled in EU and testimonials written :). Good luck for the days ahead and keep up the same spirit. ...ARCHIT JAIN

Bose.. u have something about yourself that makes you stand out from the crowd (apart from his height ofcourse :P) your sense of humor.. your one liners are really out of this world.. i first heard about you from monami when she used to tell me about your interactions for ADAPT .. we were in the same group for consumer behavior and made some very crappy assignments while doing full on bakar :P .. but the fondest memory would definitely be mount titlis.. the journey where you told about all your unique experiences, you almost getting forst bite and the fun that we had clicking pictures with that DDLJ poster and playing with snow .. wish you all the best for your future endeavours :) ...SHELLY PAREEK

The guy who thought I was not an Indian. :P Known this guy only in the sixth term, and boy I have ditched him so many times for the final term trips since! So here is a final apology! Sorry ï?? He is one guy who would not prepare for the assignments but would still be able to conjure something funny for the presentations! The guy who did not attend even a single lecture during exchange and yea, suffered a lot during the final term.

You are perhaps the only one I know The guy who knows how to appreciate the beauty of life. Dude, not many stop and stare are the wonders of nature, it is a rare gift, do cherish it for life! Wish you the very best in life! ...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

How does he get these kind of humorous thoughts about everything in this world!! He is the BOSS of all!! Nobody can defeat him in his arguments..:) I am very glad you came with us to Mount Titlis.. It would have been very boring without you..:( You are the ‘mehfil ki jaan’ and you work as a trigger to laugh.. We have had some awesome memories in Switzerland- Mt. Titlis frost bite and my demand for more poses!! LOL! Then the long bakar sessions in train about IIM Indore’s faculty and any random stuff.. you are always fun loving and crazy guy with a mind blowing sense of humour..:) I wish you great success and happiness in your life..:) Stay in touch..:) ...NIKITA SHARMA

Bose! Although never got a chance to know you much, but whatever little I know you’re one cool bindaas guy who loves to party and enjoy each moment in his life.I have always felt amazing whenever you have

complimented me for my performances..You were actually Exchange Program ka Star! Wish you success and happiness for life :)...PALAK MAHANOT

I first met Ishan during our Share BD interview.. He was very chilled out. Although he carried a global position, he never had these hang ups. This made our bonding easier. Then on, we went on to work for the team and Ishan did a fine job in getting all of us on board. He was of immense help to me during the selection of my exchange institution. I approached him a lot of times and he was patient enough to explain to me all the details, One thing I liked about him was his passion for travelling, which i share with him. Anyone going to him asking him about his experiences in Europe, his eyes become wide open and he starts off with giving out every minute details...... All the best Ishan...

I hope you do well in life and travel even more.. Cheers...PREETAM R GUPTA

I will always remember Ishan as someone whom I would cross on my way to/from the mess and just start laughing :-P well, yes..he usually catches me laughing at something or the other and laughs back at me! had a great experience being a part of ‘Team Bose’ during the HUL workshop :-D :-D it’s been great to know you.. wish you good luck for your future! keep smiling and keep in touch :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Bose- a Delhiite but a bong at heart. Your “silk er panjabi” and “lal dhoti” during durga puja was the best ethnic dress that a bong can put on during durga puja. I will miss those CPs you used to shower on us in Section A. A intelligent guy with lots of b-shool competitions in his bag. He is a guy with easy to go attitude but does his work with a lot of dedication and effort. Come to Calcutta some day and Stay in touch!...

SUBHRAM SAHA

Hey Ishan, it was nice knowing you...I am sure you will do great in life..

Best of luck!! Stay in touch :)...VRITI SIDANA

Wow..here’s a guy who can stand for himself, be equally comfortable in a group or by himself, has excellent data crunching abilities(which helped his team become runners up in P & G dream team), and is a proper Bong at heart. You effuse hardwork and determination in whatever u set your sights upon. I wish you the very best for the times ahead.Keep rolling :) ...APAL

Bose - In his usual trademark voice is fun , you can always say, “Ssup boss” and he will reply, “Bas aise hi” I loved the way u used to describe ur journey frm banker to marketeer to consultant finally. No doubt, tu yahan bhi phodega . Stay the same bose :)...MAYANK JAIN

Make way girls coz the “COOL DUDE” is hereâ?¦!! super fun-loving guy wid whom u cn chat for hours n yet never get bored.. the only good thing dat Consumer Behaviour gave ws a frnd lyk u!! ws so much entertaining working wid u.. n also njoyed the long long breakfast chats wid u.. really wish our MANDU plan hd worked out! anyways u r a gr8 guy n always be like u r! keep in touch!!!...DARSHITA DOSHI

Whatever Bose may say I think he has got the sharpest brains on campus.

I still remember the countless times he has beaten me at othello and chess and i couldn’t even get close. :) Bose is one of the funniest guys on campus, I really love the jokes he crack which may be too much for people to digest sometimes but i really love them. The best proof of his awesome sense of humour is his blog http://godzfavouritechild.blogspot.in/ . I really wish he starts posting on it again. He is the only person on this campus to have ever visited my home though just for a lunch (where he ratted me out to my parents :P ). Bose will always chill around for academics but go super hyper for any competitions. I have always thought that normal academics are too mainstream for Bose and that all this strategic thinking for competitions is what he was born for. He managed to land a really good job and I think its perfect for him to apply his formidable intellect and creativity. I always had fun with you Bose on campus and I really wish you stay thee same. And please start posting on you blog again. :) I wish you a really successful career in the future....SURABATHUNI PALLAV

Bose !! I think you have a really cool sense of humour and you have this great ability of being able to laugh at yourself that not many people can boast of. I will always remember that Logic joke of ours and also lots of other small jokes. We have had a lot of long conversations before and that was when I really got to know you and about your personal life. And that time will always be memorable :) I will also always remember you as the guy who always goes to the mess at 2 am for an icecream :P You are also extremely hardworking person and that will surely take you places :) Reconnecting with you through B2B group was great fun. All the best for your future and do stay in touch....BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

_/\_ itna scroll kisi ka testi likhne ke liye nahin karna pada ... bhaisahab u

Yaar sab kuch to likh diya itne logon ne mujhe to page naseeb nahin hone wala.. Would just say that.. You are a good friend to have and I hope that our friendship continues in the future also.... all the best for your future.....RAVI MAHESHWARI

The Bose is not a person, The Bose is a way of life. You...my dear... have left me speechless over years! I have so many great memories of this place thanks to you! Starting with Adapt...Well the entries were phenomenal..but not as much as your ‘Bitch Please’ expression that we didn’t think of them! You are so talented that the most creative of ideas come to you as obvious facts..and yet you remain ‘Klueless’ about your timetable! I doubt if my life year would have been half as awesome without Bose-isms and Bose moments! Yay we won so many competitions thanks to your brainwaves...YES i am proud of our paintball idea! Not to mention that your pictures are one of the best on this year’s StEx!(There!I said it!). You have been a great company, listening to my problems patiently and offering your perspective. I could not have hoped for a more perfect version of you as a friend!

Stay in touch Bose..and Kiran and I promise we won’t do anything which is ‘Frankly very Pi**ing guys! :P PS - Shouldn’t I have received a prize for the ‘fictitious wish’ that I sent for our Make-A-Wish page? ...MONAMI BAGCHI

Bose, Bose, Boseâ?¦ I donâ??t think even if I try Iâ??ll be able to put in words all that you areâ?¦! You are this amazingly unique person, who lives on his own terms and is not shy of admitting that! The â??Boseismsâ?? , the n number of levels out of the blueâ?¦..all that and more made it real fun being around you! I am looking forward to enjoying more of this while we work together! Have fun! ...RICHA PODDAR

Bose ! Your humourous CPs and insights kept the class alive in several of those boring sessions of PGP1. I still remember walking in 10 minutes late for that Micro Eco’s lecture and sneaking into the class without her noticing. It was one of the most adventurous things that I have managed to pull off. I had worked with you on several competitions. I wont say that our execution styles match a lot but your insights were truly valuable. What I like most about you is the “Never Say Die attitude”. You are highly intellectual. Something that most people dont recognize unless and until they have worked with you. You’ll go places

as you are God’s favorite child :) p.s. you should start blogging again !...

PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Bose... bro! :D you have been one of my closest friends on campus. Apart from me, you are the person who has spent the most time in my campus.

And I will always remember the discussions we had on various topics, some serious and some purely humorous. One of the best things I like about you is your chilled out attitude and the easy going manner. Rarely have I seen you getting tensed. While you have seldom topped in any subject, I am sure you would have been among the toppers if Bakchodi was a subject here. The fb meme that you pulled on me overnight was simply brilliant! Perhaps not many people would know it. But behind this chilled out exterior is a person with tremendous ambition and drive. I can still remember the kind of effort you put in for various competitions, working single handedly in most cases! I This will take you a long way in life. I wish you all the best! waise touch mein toh rahenge hi... ...ALOK GANESH HEGDE

Ishan

nsal

R

Ka ishabh

Had Ishan not been in IIM-I 2012-14 batch, there’s an extremely high probability of me landing up in the 2013-15 batch, or even beyond.

And I kid you not. Accounting se Marketing se Competitions, you name it, Ishan helped me out with it. Being a complete outsider to all things MBA (with no pre-arrival research on what the hell an MBA’s all about), this chap and Apal were the only 2 folks I could rely on for all sorts of gyaan. Before the seniors, came these 2! Arguably one of the smartest, most helpful and fun fellow I’ve ever met. His jokes can cause cranial nerve damage, but they are a part of the IRK package, and you HAVE to live with it. Aware of my erratic-borderline nonsensical behavior, the fact that he’s still been the same person he was on day one, speaks volumes about him. On that note, who the hell calls you IRK man? Maybe the folks at DB will! :P My friend, you’re heading on to great things in life. Stay unchanged (highly improbable, but if you can’t, well, who can?), keep that humor and humility around.

I wish you the best, for you truly deserve nothing less. Enjoy! :)...

PARTH KAPOOR

The reason I got into IIM in the first place, the reason for most of the good things that have happened to me here, and the reason for my getting placed- there’s no one I owe more than IRK(I feel he secretly likes SRK to have adopted such a name). We go back a long time and have had truckloads of fun, frivole and laughter together, from Beach trips to Goa and Kashid, to our Fest escapades in Mumbai and Bangalore to the HOP/RIP trips. Scientists have said that you should always have someone in your group which you admire-and I do admire a hell lot of things about him, from his Monopoly playing skills to his Cooking to his Techie-ness, A person who’ll always stand for his friends and

my word, isn’t he selfless(not many of us have a natural inclination to think about others before ourselves). He may not admit it but he’s quite a Softie :P (which is quite a good thing). I am sure he’ll charm his employers at Deutsche Bank with his extraordinarily good looks and become the greatest banker there was before becoming an entrepreneur and finally ending up as a Restaurant owner in Hawaii (no reason behind the choice of the place). I sincerely hope our friendship endures the test of time and if I find myself jobless, I can knock on your door for shelter :P. Finally, I would certainly want you to visit my hometown just to show you that “Bihar ke log chalti Train par pathar nahi phekte”! :-D ...APAL

Ishan is one of the nicest and most humble guys you would come across....

Yes, certainly Batch Rank close to the Top 10 is immensely credible but what stands him apart according to me is the confidence he exudes....He may be right, he may be wrong but he puts his views across with such aplomb that you can’t help but take notice...We have bonded over cricket and tennis sessions and of course, the infamous Innoversant Live project :P Wish you all the success in life, bro and stay in touch :)...RUDRASHIS ROY

I know you as the Fin-Guy who accidentally excelled in Marketing as well!

It was great spending an awesome HOP with you. You are a part of every memory in the hills...considering the fact that it is only your photobombing face in all the pictures! Got to know you only recently...but it has been a great experience since then! Stay blessed and have fun!...MONAMI BAGCHI

Frankly i didn’t like you at all in the first term mistaking your exuberance for show-off. I groaned when i was in the same grp as u in the third term expecting tough times, but i cannot describe how much fun it was to work with you. We fought a lot, cursed each other so much (which we still do :P). But now that i look back at those times, i learned a lot about thinking logically and making kickass presentations and reports. You can discuss anything under the sun and also argue and convince other person of just about anything. One of the best things about you is you can push people to deliver their best and also know when to back off. We played cricket together (u r such a cry baby about the bouncers :P), danced at DJ parties and had so many conflicts about alcohol abuse :P. Needless to say that u r a brilliant guy and i wnt dare say u r a fin guy because u can ace anything u set ur sight on. I can guarantee u that as long as u hav the zeal and enthusiasm u display so abundantly u vil b successful in everything in lyf. Aur han make sure ki flat saath mil jaye...jo do saal ki kassar bachi hai wo waha nikaal denge..Wish u all the success and happiness in lyf (and koi girlfriend

bana le...enough of ur special and good friend bullshit). ...PUNIT GUPTA

You don’t know how happy I was when I got this news on 23.01.14 that you are going to be my colleague. Just 8 hours ago in the bus, I was talking to you about all such stuff and the next morning, you literally nailed it. That speaks a volume of your knowledge, confidence and personality. Wow!! I haven’t had so many conversations with you but have always heard a lot of good things from your E section friends.

Then I got a chance with u to visit places like Pataal Pani, Jaam Darwaza, etc. That was a great time I had with you and got to know you more.

We had a few cricket sessions in the night lately and during that time I was convinced whatever people say about you is really true. You are a great person and a great friend. I am really happy that we will be together in Mumbai and obviously will be the flat-mates for months to come.

Looking forward to it.. Stay blessed, stay happy!!...VAIBHAV JAIN

School me 10:1 ratio wala (you know what I mean :D) hamara sweet sa IRK. I admired you from the very starting, you always speak sense, may it be class CP or may it be off-class masti. Even being a fresher you have that sense of responsibility, which very few carry. I think you are the first non-engineer to whom I canâ??t say that â??tum engineer nhi ho isliye nhi pataâ?? coz you know almost everything. Although we were not be able to go to RIP or HOP but I think we compensated those mistakes by sharing a lot of masti on campus and other outings.

We will remember in future our commitment and accomplishment of Marathon, without you I might have faltered. Aur haan, Schezwan chutney ke naam par I will always remember you :D. What all knowledge you have and what all others like Apal told me, I really want to have food prepared by you and I would like to mention here that curdpickle combination, told by you, is damn good in taste. All the best wishes for your future and like others also said, get a gf dude and gf doesnâ??t mean Good Friend here :D...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

Ishan, you’re easily one of the nicest guys I know- extremely helpful, really brain smart (especially at your age :-P), a lot of fun to be with, and of course, one of the cutest guys of our batch! :-D And yes, not to forget your amazing cooking skills and your logical approach towards solving any problem. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent with you - from shooting the crazy video for Gordian Knot to discussing cooking recipes to asking you to clarify my many doubts! Btw, please don’t thank me so much for my notes..if at all, you want to pay

me back (:-P), stop treating me like a kid :-D Can’t help mentioning that I am two whole years elder to you and will always be! :-D P.S: Thanks a tonne for the lovely message that you have written for me but let me tell you that ‘genius’ is a word I definitely don’t qualify for :-D Funny that I have to say this, being from a competitor bank, but let’s just accept the truth ;-) Wish you all the very best for everything that is yet to come in life! I’m sure you’ll be great at whatever you do :-) Keep smiling and keep in touch :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

You are an extremely helpful and a happy personâ?¦ I remember visiting your home jab HOP ke liye ja rahe the and I had to wait at your home for some timeâ?¦ I really enjoyed the trips we took around Indore city with othersâ?¦ Stay in touchâ?¦ Wishing you all the success in life... :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

One of the smartest and level headed guys i know. Always makes sense and defends his point till the other one gives up :P( most often admitting defeat coz this guy’s so good). Spent alot of time in his company, a really inspiring person who has handed me a few credits easily through last minute doubt clearing sessions. Youl often find him burried in his laptop either watching some chick flick ;) or stock trading. One of the first guys to enter the CP club but also one of the very few to speak sense and not bore every1 to sleep. You’re surely set to go places. All the best for your future...Aaron DSouza Ishan Rishabh Kansal - the smiling face you canâ??t forget. So much this guy smiles that at times he irks people who are incapable of smiling at all (namely a prof :P ). The oldest memory I have of him is his â??duelâ?? with the prof in accounting class. Very sincere and extremely straightforward, this guy will never ever give up on anything. All the best for future( I know IB industry mein tehelka machne wala hai ab!) Stay in touch! ...TRISHLA

Probably the guy in my batch I knew for the longest time. Seriously, who’d have thought that the 11th std. guy I used to interact with over an FB game would end up being my batch mate a few years later?!? Though we didn’t end up doing a lot together, I’ll always remember you as the ever-smiling Fin-God batch ranker. Wish you all the best for your future!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN Everywhere I have been to right since play school, there has at least been one guy who shared my name in my batch (Iâ??m sure you would have

empathize with me on that). And here, it was you. Funny that many a time, especially in PGP1 I would get random chat requests and even mails, only to realize it was for you and not me :P I donâ??t think we ever talked during first year, because there was no reason or opportunity (different friend circles, different sections, no common PORs etc.).

However, we randomly bumped into the same FMCG group in term 4, and that was when I interacted with you first. That constant emphasis â??Maa ke haath ka aacharâ??, especially the way you said that was really funny and always rings a bell whenever I think of FMCG! :P But jokes apart, those discussions we had during our presentations were really one of the most enlightening ones I had, mostly because of the different and fresh viewpoints you would give and justify and it was really nice learning experience for me altogether. Interestingly you got into an Investment Bank (not sure how many Interrobang winners will claim that in decades to come) :P Nevertheless, those interactions were fun and perhaps who knows, we might just bump into each other some time in future. Life is long afterall :D Have fun and stay blessed :)...ISHAN BOSE

On a bright sunny day in June, in the first class, there were these two guys who seemed to have come straight out of school. Some minutes into the class, it was very apparent that appearances can be deceiving.

The two kids had already mesmerized (in the early days, it was more of an irritation) the class - all of whom were considerably older to these guys. These guys were just too smart and knowledgeable - it felt as if they have already done with their PGDMs and PGPO had planted them just to knock us off our feet. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Ishan and Apal. Okay, let me confess something here - I didn’t talk with Ishan for the entire first term, though he sat almost right next to me. I only came to Ishan better when our social circles overlapped and since then the bond has grown stronger. He comes across as a person who speaks with conviction and maturity. He is among the very few people who have worked really hard and the fruits of that labor are for everyone to see. However, there is far more to Ishan than just acads â?? he has excelled in sports and in extra currics. He aspires to start a venture of his own â?? I am sure he will and thatâ??ll be pretty much kick-ass.

And yes, he introduced me to the amazing world of Schezwan Chutney. Wish you all luck! ...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

Ishan, I don’t claim to know a lot about intelligence and diligence, but I can say that having studied with you, and worked with you for al-

most 2 years, you are the only person I’d name who has inspired me, and whose work ethic I’d like to adopt. We became good friends sometime in the 2nd term I guess, before which I always knew you as some kickass Accounts guy. You do come off as way too young to be so sharp (this is supposed to sound good). All through these 2 years, I have seen you easily tackle subjects varying from Strategy to HR, and extract learnings out of them. You are one of the few people I can claim to have have learned from in real life, and I’d consider myself lucky if I could be half as sincere as you are in my field. Do keep up the good work, and make new friends with your simplicity, you never know who you might have an impact on.

Honestly, the only regret I have in the two years is that we couldn’t work together for WarRoom. You deserve every bit of success Ishan, never believe anybody who tells you otherwise. I do know I’ll be watching you on television 10 years down the line, and telling my kids we once together taught ITC how to sell chips better :P Just be as straight forward and simple forever. Don’t turn into a Wallstreet Wolf. I really hope I make it to your small Guest List of 200 people when you do get married. And anytime you need a fellow teacher to go to IIPM, you have my number :) Had it not been for you, and the things you told me that evening, I might not have been employed today, so I owe you my first job.. Wish you all the best Ishan, and congratulations once again.. Lets hope we stay in touch ...SAURABH KUNWAR

Ishan! whenever this name occurs to me I just keep wondering how can just one person be so matured, responsible, brilliant and down to earth all at the same time at such a young age :P. Always cutely smiling, ready to help and yes too organised...next time and time again I ll make sure to spoil the iron of your shirt ;)... Ya!! same here regret the fact to have bonded so late ..loved and will cherish all the time spent together especially at the Aunty’s place :). I really admire how you are so passionate about things(the go getter types), let it be designing different softwares etc and making your own money and not wanting to rely on parentsâ?¦ its amazing dude .... n last but not the least u r definitely a good teacher with the kind of examples u cite :D it makes learnin easier ;).. Wsh u luck, all the world’s happiness and moreâ?¦ keep in touch :D n miss me ;)...SUMITA KERKETTA You look at him and you’d say, “Ah! So these days MBA is for kids”. You talk to him and you’d say, “ Well! MBA is for the young”. You get to know him and you realize, “ Oh! I see! I am the kid”. And the journey of the impression to change from a kid to a mature guy is so swift, you wouldn’t

realize it. This is one person who is deceptively smart, exceptionally talented and immaculately disciplined. With the work ethic of a diligent student, his nature is one you’d want to love and would end up loving.

A friend for friends, in fact more than a friend sometimes, an enemy for an enemy (comes from personal experience, one I’d like to forget! :P), but this person is one you’d not like to forget. Thanks for the cherishable memories Ishan! Maybe one of these days PARIS is actually going to create a difference after all! ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

The POC.. haha thatâ??s how I remembered you initially.. But you are much more than that.. A friend in the real sense of it.. Such a helpful and humble guy.. Glad that I met a sorted out person like you in this god forsaken place.. God knows how lost I was but you gave perspective :-) Canâ??t be thankful enough.. So proud of you.. and that mind of yours.. Can give anybody a complex! But those jokes man.. Such a scope for improvisation (barring that SABmiller prank of yours.. arrgghh u! Dunno how I fell for it, good one though :-P ) You really know how to live life to the fullest.. and now when it is time for you to leave , it feels as if hardly any time was spent with you .. Do and yes i mean it DO Stay in touch, and ALCOVES to main ja ke hi rahungi.. :-D Wish you so much luck and happiness in life.. You are going to achieve such great heights in life, I just know you will.. #Respect Simply â??

Sir Ishan :) ...ADITI AGGARWAL

You impressed me on the very go with your entrepreneurial ideas when we first met at ISI. Just a few days before joining Indore, I learnt via fb that you too were coming...that was a pleasant surprise. Though we did not interact that much, it was always good to know you and have you as a friend. You are very hardworking no doubt...but you never make that too evident through your jovial expression :) I wish you all the very best for the future ! Keep Touch :) :)...AYUSH AGARWAL

Ishan..i dont know if i had told you, I have not seen a guy with such clarity as you, be it with academic concepts, be it what to do with life, be it anything. Muje toh pehle tu total padhaku lagta tha..Bangalore happened and i came to know the fun side of you. I’m sure you are going to be on the cover of some TIME magazine types 10 years from now. Bhul mat jaana tab :P...Abhish Nair

Ishaaaaan, yaaar! My biggest regret at this place is not meeting you earlier, I swear. Weâ??ve only known each other properly for like two terms but they have easily been my best two terms here including a wonderful HOP â?? we have laughed so much on many people on so many different occasions â?? pet dard hone tak hasen hain, haha. From buying 20 paani ki bottle to chup chup ke eating Afghani chane tent main (hahaha), that 10 day trek was downright amazing. Milke Prakarsh ki taang kheechna was the best lekin! You eat as much as I do, haha, that said - a trip to Mame ka Dhaba still awaits. You have this brilliant façade of utter seriousness on your face which fools a lot of people, me included. It was only after I met you I realized here is one of the most fun people (read: Chaalak, Battmeez, Shakuni) on campus. Iâ??ve known in this campus. A lot has been written about how good a person you are, model baccha, itna mature, itna accha :P â?? so I am not writing all that. After cribbing about no â??fin ki shortlistsâ?? summers main, your news about DB made me so so happy.

Aur chinta naa kar, we will make up for all the lost time in Mumbai :) Bahut hasna baaki hai abhi toh! ...VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

Darinda!!! I had never really spoken to you before HOP group got formedthough I knew you as one from the BBA Brigade- the 1st thing that I remember is your ever smiling face-even when you talk you are smiling- it seems like there is always some secret you are not telling-HOP was a lot of fun and you played a big part in it- the tent ki masti n we screaming at you to stop photo bombing, the stupid jokes and your shared love for adventure- you are a very sincere person who loves to have fun and can pass a wisecrack at any given time-you have these big ideas to start a business and I really admire your grit and determination- though we got to know each other only in the 5th term it has been a great pleasure! You are super hardworking and super organised-nobody else cudve handled the Mridang finances the way you did-Db bhi phod diya- m sure you will be one of the top entrepreneurs of our country and I have to taste your cooking..we shall always be good friends and do keep in touch....MEHTA SALONI URVESH

IRK - this guy is the street smartest guy in the campus. My earlier impressions of him was that he must be some STUD person because he used to teach Accounting to our class and the teacher used to ask him doubts :P .. I am not sure when exactly I got to know him but boy has it been a wonderful ride. The first thing you would notice about IRK is his personality its effusive and infects everyone around him - the ever constant smile. He won’t accept but he’s a nerd of the highest order - always fretting about

assignments and taking initiatives for them, yet doesn’t want to work hard for them :P. One of the toppers in the campus here, the most fun times have been doing bakar in his room. The intense arguments I have had with him are well ermm .. intense. He never gives up and keeps thinking of new ways to stump the others (I’ll always remember the credit card discussion and engg vs bba social discussion :P) He keeps on positing random thoughts on fb so don’t get alarmed :D ..

Also, a guy who’s a complete foodie though his capacity fails to match his love for food - probably the only guy on campus who watches Masterchef :D .. Active in sports be it TT, Tennis, cricket or baddy and that’s what makes him the complete package. His best quality is that once isne kisi cheez ki thaan li toh yeh apni bhi nahin sunta and achieves it by hook or crook :D .. all in all, it has been a great time here. Hope we keep in touch and all the best for the future :)...ARUP MANDAL

Ishan - i would have to credit you as the guy who taught me how to make effective presentations . Atleast due to our term three group i got to know u and punit better because our assignment sessions would last so long due to our laziness and bakar in between and waiting for girijesh to show up :P 2nd year i got to know u lot better and we have had some fun times learning tennis from scratch . Being such a topper i never expected u to have so much enthusiasm for sports and but i was glad to see ur enthusiasm and i can count on you to wake up in the morning and maybe try to wake up arup. You think very logically and you are more tech oriented than most engineers here making you like the complete package. I dont even need to mention your finance skills . Hope to keep in touch with you after leaving campus, atleast we need to meet up for some games :P...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI

MOTEY!! :D My first friend at IIM and also the cutest one. I love pulling your cheeks and I hate when you go to the gym because I like golu molu ishan. The more I have known you the more I have grown fond of you. The way Eshwar used to say that we both look like kids brother n sisterâ?¦You have always considered me a sister. But mai cute ladko ko bhai nahi banati :P I laugh so much thinking of how my mom was so fond of you since the first day and you used to ask me how and why when she hasnâ??t even met youâ?¦But I knew that she used to like you by whatever I had told her about you. You were the most approachable out of all my friends and also the one who reciprocated each and every thing I did. You have been there and also shared

things with me which you never do with others. Our cartoon series, crazy CnD work, New Girl and Big Bang along with other masty that we have done in both these two years is something I will never forget. What I really like about you is how you manage things so well and do things so fast. I would have literally failed in half the subjects here if you were not here heheâ?¦your crash courses before all the quizzes and exams have helped me a lot. I would always be happy for my decision to come to IIM I because I met you as a sister, as a friend, as someone whom I would own for life! Thank you for being so cute motey! Im always here for you ...PALAK MAHANOT

Dont knw 4m where 2 start bt yes I do feel very lucky that I got 2 start my toughest, most scary journey with U..1st time evr out of my home, I actually needed someone with whom I cud easily associate & wht more cud hv I asked for when God blessed me with U..IDK why bt I hv always found U so so similar 2 me that it ws nevr difficult 2 strike d chord of friendship with U..which over d time has transfrmd into such a special,strong&precious bond for me..Each&Evry single memory of 1st yr feat. you in d lead role.

We hv grown 2gthr(spcly our bellies ;),partied 2gthr,slept 2gthr(inside those tents with ONLY 1 â??HADDIâ?? in btw, quite litrly;),studied 2gthr,ate 2gthr,played 2gthr,even burnt the fat 2gthr;) Had an amazing time on RIP;singing at top of our lungs,clickng 100s of stupid pics:P,eating all d spicy bullshit just 2 quench ur thirst 4 moreNmore spicy food:D It was so scary when at 1 point of time it looked as if â??WEâ?? wudnt be able 2 go 2gthr on HOP bt lateron everything fell into place & we had such an amazing trip;especially rafting & wayback to Delhi 4m Rishikesh, I enjyd â??m the most! That night,we(you me & haddi) had soe muchh fun on d back seat;) Coming 2 â??YOUâ??-as a person & friendâ??U r a GEM! Some r charmers some r intelligent some r fun but rarely do we c a combi of all these & U surely r one of that rarest lot..U can achieve just anything, d only requisite being you want 2 achieve that..A genuine & adorable person with a pure loving heart & one of my dearest friends(truly mean it)..someone with whom I will alwys be in touch! Aur rakshas jahan bhi ho(DB mein jake to bada aadmi banne wala hi hai tu, seriously kya fhodne wala hai tu wahan) aa jaiyo 2 dinn min pehle shadi mein! And dusht tune promise kiya tha to see 1 srk movie 2gthr before college ends which U havnâ??t fulfilled yet!:@ One last thing,I hvnâ??t ever told you but I consider you (A& V) as my younger brothers..Canâ??t tell howmch precious U r 2 me..Really like you a lott!...PRAKARSH AREN

What can I say about this silly guy! Known him since the first term, the

fin genius, My SAPM guru! Simplicity has always been his trick. Very seldom does one come across people who are intelligent but still humble, that is Ishan for you. Kind, considerate, happy and thoughtful. The Vada Pavâ??s, the â??discussionsâ??, your toaster and the velapantis, bahut yaad aayenge yaar! A free soul, that defines you the best! I know you would go a long way in life da. And that would be more because of the individual you are than your extreme intelligence! Wish you all the very best! Waise Mr. Romeo, finally pata chala kya? ï?? ...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

I first started noticing how brilliant you are when I heard you participating in the class. Sounds slightly clichéd but is completely true. You were someone who participated only when you had genuine doubts, raised a point when you had completely thought through it and answered when it really made sense. Honestly, most of the questions you asked were things even I did not know and perhaps did not even realized that I dint know. So, I always used to thank you for getting the doubts clarified. But a lot of time has passed since then and my respect has risen over only academic purposes. I am a big big fan of the speed with which you think and act (remember MoS assignments, where I almost free-rided most of the times). The speed, I feel is a reason of your clarity about things and this would be your biggest strength in the times to come. I so wish we could be a part of some team together since you are a complete package â?? Brilliant communication skills, highest levels of devotion and one of the best graphic designers I have come across. Kudos to you and hope to see you often in Mumbai!...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Kansal! I think we were always good friends right from the start and thanks to Half for that.. We submitted those horrid assignments to Shrabanti with your extremely sick font and colour schemes! But I kind of started appreciating your work ethic since then only.. And then there was Sony.. Though you were fairly disappointed you couldn’t stay with me in my flat but I think you compensated well enough by getting food to work! And of course by introducing Truffles to me..

That was just brilliant.. Haha... I remember you troubling everyone in the office about your phone! And yes, if you want something tell me fast.. i have very good terms right now! haha.. But for most of the things you are welcome.. After all as the adult it was my responsibility to guide you during your formative years.. And ya, I won’t forget how you made me lose 25000 bucks in the stock markets! I was a

happy trader back in the day and then you corrupted me.. All that apart, I earned the same amount (maybe more if the TDS is refunded) through ITC and you were a very essential part of that.. In fact you pulled much more weight.. We had our fights but I was happy to have you and Apal as teammates for many competitions.. Well you are really committed (if only to a girl)which is apparent through your weightloss and your jump in rank.. But you know I am the smarter one..And there was a perfect logic in calling your bhabhi ‘bhabhi’.. After all your cousins were equally my cousins too! I am still waiting for your b-plan. Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

Ishan, the finance genious of our class, the one who with his CPs and doubts would disturb the balance of the last benches! I still remember, when all of us at the back would scramble to get our books in place when Ishan would ask a doubt and get the professor’s attention to our side! :P A very friendly guy, Ishan is someone who you could easily strike a conversation with. With the kind of hardwork you put in, coupled with the genious you are, I’m sure you’d have a long successful career. All the best buddy! Remember, if we ever need jobs, we will ask you, put us in one of your 6 companies :P ...ESHWAR M S

Ishan, despite being my wingmate I haven’t got much chance to interact with you and I will always regret that. You come across as a very serious and dedicated person and finally all your hard work has paid off and I’m really happy for you. Keep in touch bro. All the best for DB \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Ishan, one of the most dedicated, really street smart and hardworking guy on campus. Another Fin Enthusiast like me with so much determination to achieve his goals. Your strong will and hard work have given you what you deserved. I always used to tell people that Ishan is going to get DB .. though we did not interact much.. but somehow I had this confidence in you..Also, when it comes to be chilled out and not giving a damn to anything..you are so like me :P I really look forward to have more frequent discussions in future.. probably we will manage to have some hangouts in Mumbai :D Have a great career ahead :) Wish you luck for future!...

L MAN JAIPA

The go-to photographer of our batch. Whether it be the section party photos or the last day of term 1 photos or committee photo-shoots, Jaipal would be the man to refer to (I would often refer to him as Jaipyal Mandal, but that would be on purpose) :P A soft spoken guy who has his own share of low-profile parties quite regularly. And clearly, one of the most hilarious people after getting drunk, whether it be his dance moves or his conduct :D We had a party on our last day at Term 1 and that was when I talked candidly to him, and while I always knew he was soft spoken, I also realized him to be easy-going and open minded. Was nice interacting with you here. Stay blessed and have fun :)...ISHAN BOSE

JP...one of my first friends in college and one of the best ones for life :) A simple guy who loves his life and wishes to spread this love all around ;) :P A soft spoken person and a ghazal and sufi lover. A photographic genius, literally he could make anyone/anything look good :) One of the most creative guys i know of... My best times in college are with you in it :) Will always remember you playing the mediator to stop the fights between me and chacha and negi :), the times we spent in your room listening to old ghazals and sufi songs and batalvi saabs interview :) Always keep that smile up and never worry about a thing...

You are stronger than you know :) Wishing you all the success and Happiness in life... Cheers :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

JP bhai as I fondly call him. My fellow â&#x20AC;&#x153;johnnieâ&#x20AC;?, my next door neighbour for two years and a fellow pahari... above all a great friend. I cant imagine my life here at IIM Indore without your friendship. It would not have been that interesting and eventful had I not met you. A great

person at heart, great team player and great leadership skills. He had been the pillar of our group. Hardworking person, very caring and takes care of every person around him. He earned respect from almost everyone in the campus. Usually very calm but gets very high after few gulps of elixir :P Has some outlandish dance moves. :D A great photographer, in demand hot shot stud in the campus. his demand spills beyond national boundaries going all the way till Italia.( i wish beeba reads this testimonial) Usually looking decent but very famous among opposite sex... :P A girl would find herself lucky if you happen to be with her. bhai ka charisma hi kuchh aisa hai :D And also a special quality of his is eclectic taste of indian music and poetry. Bhai saab likhte bahut achchha hai magar talent chhupa ke rakha hai ;) A multi talented personlaity, complete package banda. I feel fortunate to have you as a friend at this point in life.. Wish you a great success in your life and may god fulfill your dream of becoming an entrepreneur...

Cheers :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

JP yaar you are one of the most multi dimensional personalities I have seen. But I feel sorry that as an ace photographer, you give DPs to people :) but no one gets to take your picture as well... You have a very mature way of looking at issues, and you stand by your friends. Thinking of our friendship makes me feel it was worth it coming to planet-i!...ABHISHEK CHAUHAN

JP is a good friend and most helpful and supportive guy. Not to forget his magnanimous team handling skill as seen in Himalayan trip. He is the most welcoming person and never disappoints anybody. Good at photography he is the torch bearer of the photography club of Planet I. He is a true biker, trekker and adventure loving guy. His companionship in Planet I will be always remembered and cherished :) ...SAURAV DEMTA

I have a lifetime to tell u how and what I feel about u but would like to share the opinion so far...thank u for making my life so random, full of fun n bachpana....After my family u r the only person to whom I can talk anything without thinking and be what I am (without any change)....I love and at times hate as well dat u r so benevolent and sweet...I feel lucky to hv a photographer like u (though m worst of a model)....its fun to see u struggling with strangest issues and complaining like a small kid and how u make excel for almost everything :P....I think I should stop here (emotions me na beh jau kahin :P)....my best wishes r with u...u r not meant to be common people like us but something special...follow ur dream cause u have d talent to fulfill dat...luv u like a friend forever...remember

me always :)...VAISHALI SHARMA

I met JP in term 2 during a party at him room. He was an instead connect. Since then we are close friends. I remember he shared his business plan with me and in summer we went to wholesale market of delhi to get first hand experience. It was nice working with him. He does everything with utmost dedication. Be it photography or business plan. He is open to new ideas. He has a very unique way to crake jokes.

He crack jokes and at the same times laughs and acts !!! JPâ??s soft spoken voice and a hunk body give his personality a different dimension. This is one of the reasons why JP has a great repudiation among girls. JP bhai is a person how can say â??Been there, done thatâ??.

He has hell lot of stories to share with you. Some of these stories are inspiring, some are escape from death and some are adventures like hell. It is always great learning to hear JP talk ������.

Sooner or later he is goanna jump in to business. And I think he can use him full potential in a business only, not in a job. Well whatever path he chooses, me wishes are with him. All the best for future JP. ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

Jaipal bhai, would remember you for your calmness and your mind blowing photography. My fb profile pic of the past 1 year is the one clicked by you :D. Talking to you has always had a calming experience on me. Your passion for photography and travel defines the person you are. Best wishes for your life ahead :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

A fabulous photographer but an even better bench mate! Jaipal, we got through so many boring classes in first year by keeping each other entertained. I could not have asked for better company. The many times you and Kamal woke me up when needed and those never ending games of hangman are some things I will never forget!

Cheers :) You’re a really nice person and I was really lucky to know you! ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Guruji ... Photographer ... Trekker .. a person with many talents ...

A good person to hang around with as you won’t feel bored in his company (barring when he is playing some minesweeper or detective etc on his laptop or doing something in his mobile)... A good natured person with huge ambitions (hope they come true) Hope to be good friends forever .... machate raho.... all the best...RAVI MAHESHWARI

I wonder if this space would be enough for penning down an account on you. Nevertheless, would try my best. Iâ??ve known you long before I had come here but my entire perspective on you changed only after getting to know here. Within a few days, you completely changed the notion of a calm, simple girl I had of you into a cheerful, happy golucky girl with whom anybody would love to be friends with. The best part of you is that you are always at peace with your mind in spite of many worries and you rarely break down. And I love how patiently you deal with everything; be it explaining things or cooking or working on assignments, I wish I could be like that. And I can never thank enough for all your tolerance whenever I panicked and got onto your nerves.

I have always admired you for your eagerness to be a part of every happening thing that goes around you. Talking about your excitement, it has no bounds! Our RIP and HOP trips are exemplary for the same.

Talking about your knack for learning and memory, you know the confidence we have in you. Itâ??s absolutely amazing the way your brain processes everything. You are one girl truly born for Finance....

You know me in and out and have always stood by my side..I have never imagined that I would make a friend like you within a span of two years. What I write in this yearbook is more of a memory but being friends with you cannot be simply written off as just one memorable thing; itâ??s still and always want it to be in the present and ...Anyways, have a smashing future. Love you a lot....ANUSHA BEESETTI

I guess you got your “Tell me about yourself” bang on when you said “an ever smiling girl”. If there is something called “fast track” friendship, I would say we got it right. We bonded over funny telugu songs, hilarious comedy sequences and of course our own home grown ri-

diculous jokes. Even before I got to know you, I remember telling a friend of mine that you were one of the most cheerful people I have ever met.

Once I got to know you, I would revise that to the most “cheerful and funny”. A kid by all means - thought process, taste and size! But you have pleasantly surprised me a lot of times with your nurturing instinct. Ok, before you start saying “Te de de de dew.. babu chitti!”, I better end my testimonial. I would also remember you for one last thing - the only person I have known who doesn’t need to learn swimming because you float on water :P. It was a pleasure to have known you “born genius” :P...M DIVYA DEEPTHI

Deeptiiiiiii... I seriously at times wonder.. How cum you are in IIM I.. You are a total different league girl..seriously you are one of the best students i have seen here .. Your fighting spirit & your dedication amazes me..you are really sweet & warm & with the heart of a lil sweet kid.. I’ll always remember our sweet little chats & thanks for all the advice & guidance you gave me.. Let me also tell you.. you are the FINANCE QUEEN:)Thanks for putting up with me for the last few days .. they were quite hectic.. Wish you all the very best for your future.. Keep smiling , have fun..& be special as always:):):)...MUNNANGI SREE MEGHANA

She has been my best friend in the campus from the first day I met her.

Very brave girl, who has amazing fighting spirit against odds. She was like centroid or core in our friend circle, caring everyone, and obviously everyone was caring her. She has such perfectly pure and honest heart like a kid (and sometimes behave too like that :P). Good that she is on a career path she likes, though she deserve much more, and I know that she will get it soon. I was lucky beneficiary of her awesome cooking skill; from hyderabadi biryani to puli-hora she has surprising range of cooking (:P).

There are lot many things to appreciate about her, and for memory but is difficult for me to write in small space. Above all, I feel fortunate to have Deepti as my friend and wish the best for her. ...Vinod Kumar

Cheerfull....happy....bunny teeth.....deepu is the joy of our group. You are the glue that held together our group and brought everybody more closer.

You are so tiny :) ........but with a great and huge heart. Caring and demanding you are a deadly combination of cuteness and childishness :P .

My partner in crime in killing thousands and thousands of chickens (May all the souls of the chickens rest in peace). She taught me (or tried to teach me) accounting and must say you are a very bad teacher :P . I like your cooking. I still revisit our old days when we all used to hangout at

Vinod’s place and you used to make great south dishes for all of us.

Being away from home your cooking was the best food I ever had in indore. You are very hard working and go that extra mile to achieve your dreams. I love this quality in you and would want never to give up your dreams. You have tackled many disappointments and hardships like a mature adult. But still I cant understand why you cant use a laptop properly. I loved the way we always fight. Actually it was mostly you shouting and me listening :P . I must say I will miss you scolding me. Crazy, stubborn, friendly, affectionate, smiley, innocent, intelligent, rakshasi, passionate, irritating, moody, loud, childish, child like, adorable, bossy, genuine and many other words come up when i think about you. You are part and parcel of all these qualities. That is why you are a very special person. As an individual I have learned many things from you and I thank you for being an integral part of my life @IIMI. ...B AVINASH GUPTA

chitte... pragat-i secy.. finance guru.. girl who forgot her material on second day of college.. knows almost everyone in college..,. sweet... nice kiddo.....you were and would be reasons for avi and my happiness and seriousness, joy and fun.....we both had good time with you and hard time too handling you... but that never bothered us because at the end of day you are a kiddo... innocent charming little girl..... making me smile... you supporter me a lot... you, vinod and avi were always there when i needed you... i was never able to understand you that is my bad........but i will miss you a lot..your jolliness, your stubbornness, your attitude..your care..... and your PULLIHORA too...... “pitte kuncham kutto ghanam” stay like this forever.... i will really miss you dear.... ALL THE BEST .....FOR YOUR FUTURE... B SURE ND HAPI ...VISHAL LAXMAN BANSOD

Chotuuuuuu.....I wonder how this tiny girl turns into sexy babe with a simple saree...My FB is full of u (evidence is FB movie)....When I came here I ws most irritated girl but ur presence made me live like a child I always wanted to be....world seems to be so different when all of us r together..we fight for sponge bob, we see only KFC, the famous pulihora, our short period live in ;)....I came here to enjoy my 2 yrs of college life and u were most important ingredient for making it possible :)....Gal u r the most kiddish and yet most mature and courageous person I have met so far...u were my inspiration in HOP....we had good and bad times but the best part is that we r still good friends :)....good luck for ur future ahead...Paint whole world with ur colors

:)...VAISHALI SHARMA

Hey, it was a pleasure working with you in the Ahvan C&D Team. The Staircase Painting, for which you selflessly volunteered for, was unimaginable without you. You have great talent & a beautiful heart. Wishing you a wonderful life ahead. Keep smiling always :) ...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Deepti!!! Where do I begin?? Should it be the number of times I bugged about the subjects and teachers we had, or the patterns for quizzes and ends? Or the invaluable advice you gave regarding summer placements and PORs? You were my “go-to” person for any question about anything college related! And not once did you refuse to tell me everything relevant about the topic. You are the most kind-hearted and warm person I know!

The only person who can say “I have 2 end terms, 1 quiz and 2 project submissions tomorrow” at 2 am with a smiling face!! I still dont know how you manage that! The multitude of things that you involve yourself in still amazes me! And despite all that, you ensure you talk to everyone on of us in this wing! I cannot imagine not having you to turn to next year!! You are an incredibly smart and adorable girl! And you deserve all the success and happiness in the world!! All the very best to you!! Do keep in touch!! ;)...SRUTHI SRINIVASAN

Deepti is the “Small Wonder” !! Has always been very helpful, cheerful, childish, Intelligent, brilliant, Innocent, wonderful artist... I can go on and on... In short - an “Awesome friend” to have. Always ready to help. Helped me not only wrt acads but also during placements. Will cherish the gossips all of us had in the room - the so called ‘adda’, the sweet bday parties... Though looks like an IPM (wasn’t a surprise to me when people misunderstood you to be an IPM girl), I can bet she can beat any PGP girl hands down. Wishing you success & all the happiness in the world. Keep in touch !!...M NAVEEN KUMAR

This little rapunzel who makes more space on her bed for her huge teddy bears than for herself is extremely intelligent, a great cook, a finance champ and a very responsible and caring family member. Extremely composed and positive even in hard times, you often left me in awe and were a source of inspiration. The huge responsibility you fulfilled flawlessly as the Pragati secy only reinforces my belief that your resume is heavier than you :P Thanks for the utterly delicious avakai neyyi :D and have awesome time at Banglore. :)...KROTHAPALLI RAMYA

Deepti is like a little kid with a big heart. She is also very generous straight forward and also has the ability to know secrets of people you have never heard of. Well I had a great time working with you on first term projects and the long treks in HOP. I wish you all the best for your future and do keep in touch....PAVAN KUMAR M

Deepti...you are the ever smiling angel :) I have never seen you tensed or panicky...let alone angry(even though we managed to bug you so much ;)) I always wondered how you took out time for all of us. But that’s you...you listened to us, consoled us, lent us a crying shoulder, and advised us about everything possible. You are one of the hidden gems that not many people get to know about. We all will surely miss you when you’re gone. I wish you have a great future ahead. Keep smiling, keep shining!! :)...HINA RASTOGI

Deepti dear, where do I start?? V got to know each other quite well in these 2 years and what has amazed me always is the sweet smile u have inspite of all the problems in ur drama filled life :D A caring friend, an amazing cook, a brilliant painter, an awesome brain...did I miss anything??

I will dearly miss the endless rounds of gossip and our shared love of chicken...I will miss hanging out in ur room/kitchen...Its an endless list if I carry on in this vein... Still its great to have known u. Lead a happy and cheerful life with an ever smiling face and...u better keep in touch :D...

LAKSHMI R

Deepti!! U r the one I have enjoyed the most talking in HIndi :D Pati and Pita was so hilarious! U had an answer for every question we asked right from Term 1.. I wonder how do u remember all the stuff so vividly ! The chit chats in and outside your room about everything right from studies to all kinds of gossips!! n we will ever be so jealous of your soft toys sent to u :P u were so much there for every query I had about anything and everything.. Keep smiling as u always do.. u will certainly have the best of the times in your life! Wish u an awesome career and life ahead” ...SWATI VIDHANI

Hi Deepti.. I have come to know you personally through Anusha. Our long chat in the bus on our way to city was when we actually opened up to each other. You are a very simple and sweet girl. Always smiling and very matured for your age. We have shared some common interests like finance, taking up extra credits in term 5, pulling anusha’s leg. I was surprised to know about your cooking skills. But I still wonder where does all the food go?? I wish the very best in life and do stay in touch. ...K PUNYATHA RANKA

Deepti is someone whom I have always considered as my younger sister :) She is very very very sweet, very bubbly, full of life, always smiling and always taking supreme challenges in life with such immense grace and pride. She is one of those ‘chota packet bada dhamaka’ person whom people always misconceive because of their little physical appearance. :) She is also very shy, I still remember when on 4th March 2013 Aakriti was on campus and I wanted her to meet her (Deepti), but she (Deepti) looked at her from a distance and just ran away smiling in a shy manner. :P She

is the reason of all my MAC-I, II, III, IV... (this goes till infinity) grades.

What a brilliant teacher she is! I mean I just used to go to her a day before the exams and did just what she asked me to in the examinations. I could never ever thank her for all those life saving sessions, because had she not been there, I would have failed all the accounting courses not just for once but for each and every time whenever I was to write those exams. :) We have shared some never forgetting moments at RIP, she is an awesome photographer and it was only she because of whom the RIP trip could be relived any time via those Pics/ AVs. :D I would, from the bottom of my heart, like to wish her a great health in future, I pray to God that she never ever have to experience those so traumatic disease ever in future again, this girl is so pyaaari, please let her be healthy wealthy and smiling. Do stay in touch! :)...

PRAKARSH AREN

Hi Deepti, You are always cheerful and smiling . A very sweet girl running around like a kid :P . You are very sincere and hard working.

You never think twice to help people . I enjoyed sneaking into your room and having those tiny tiny chats every time i pass by that side :) I admire you for not worrying much about things and taking them as they come . I will miss steeling food from your room :( Stay in touch Deepti All the best :) ...DIALINE L

She is the Gem of Pragati: Our Social Senstivity Cell. She has single handedly taken the task of bringing the entire team together and has been speraheading various social activities. She has a great multitasking ability and at the same time remains focussed.I I have never seen her panic in times of immediate action and always remains confident in her ability to complete things. I wish her all the best for everything she does and I am sure that she will keep contributing to the society the way she is doing till now :)...Parag Jain

I would like to know who selected an IPM student for PGP course :P:P. My initial memories were a little skinny girl in first whom I doubted even had energy to speak :D. But when we worked together for Ahvan staircase painting my doubts were proved to be utterly wrong. She is high density energy package with high intellect but governed by a childish mentality :D. It was fun spending time with her and staircase painting is never complete without her, thanks for lending hand when needed :). ALso, she gave me the satisfaction of working for jagriti where we visited schools near rau and made friends with children :D.

I would love to listen to her speak in hindi....”bhaiya aap kyun aisa karthe ho” ( Deepti style :P:P). We are similar in many ways and am happy that we got what we wanted in the end :D. Deepti seriously owes me her handmade chicken preparations....let me know the time and I will be there :)...

JAGADEESH PUTTA

Deepti-The sweetest girl wid the warmest heart...a painter who takes away ur heart wid her amazing skills...she is a very determined person which I got to knw during our HOP trip...u r amazing person....b da way ur always...God bless u:)...Sneha Landge

I got to know you in 4th term coz we landed up in the same VCPE group, thanx to Rizwan. You came across as very innocent, sweet and hardworking girl who always has a smile on her face. But when u get angry...

OMG!!! :P Then during HOP i saw that you are packed with energy and enthusiasm, ur looks are surely deceptive. We never got a chance to spend much time talking to each other. But that interest in finance was the link and we were there in all the fin interviews. I am very happy for u that u got placed in Bangalore (though I am alone now) Make the best out of your stay there...All the best to both of you. ;) Take care and stay in touch......RAJAT

My secy, you are a very soft but tough girl , it was great to work with you!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Deepti....one sweet gal with a kind heart - she always brought us lots of pickles for lunch :P a hard working and dedicated person....typical school gal behavior, at times she would scold like ur younger sister would...and at times she would pass orders like ur elder sister would... it was always fun to talk to u....loves finance more than her fiance maybe :D I wish u all the very best for ur career and may God bless u !!! Stay in touch, even if u relocate to US or elsewhere...and don’t forget that u owe me a home made biryani treat :D Take care ! ...HARISH SARVA

deepti!! one of the first persons whom i ve met on campus...! u are a very sweet person and i enjoyed all the times we spent together. it’s been a pleasure knowing you. all the very best for ur future :)...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

APO RTH K

PA

One of the hardest workers out there, fun to work with and has enough gyaan to complete all OB assignments by himself. :P...NAVTEJ VERMA The Cool Dude of IIM Indore? :D Right? He was one of the first person I met here and I really enjoyed each and every moment I spent with him.

He is one emotional guy. From Laughter to Anger you would see all kinds of emotions coming out of him all the time. :D He he. His PJs are to die for :P. But a real sport. I still remember making that troll face out of him and he laughed along. That’s a great quality to have. Also, Can’t deny the fact that he is one of the most hardworking guy of our batch.

Really passionate about what he does. I think he was the first person from our batch to get the big fat cheque by winning a competition :D. I really wish you all the best for your future bro. I hope you achieve all the success. :) Stay in touch bro :)...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

The guy who absolutely mesmerized me with his first ‘gyan-session’ on campus.. During all the resume iterations, I would notice the deadlines you would scribble on your whiteboard and I would promise myself- I’m going to be just organized as this guy :P (..that never happened). The enthusiasm and passion with which you talk is admirable (..yes, I’m still mesmerized :P ). I’m sure you have a wonderful future in store for you. Best wishes ! And thanks for being a wonderful mentor :)...DEEPTI KAUSHAL

Parth Kapoor. The talent of section A. Or should I say, the talent of Planet I. A genuine and emotional guy, really good at heart. Our interaction has mostly been in bits and pieces here and there on campus, but what I appreciate about Parth is the passion with which he pursues

things that really matter to him & are close to his heart. Jayasimhaâ??s and Ghoshâ??s favorite, his CPs were the culprit in keeping many people up in otherwise boring classes. And though for completely different reasons, we have similar sport allegiances (KKR + Manchester United). Was interesting how in spite of being an exchange student almost the entire junior batch knows you thanks to the Bakra stint ;) A guy I am sure most of the batch would remember for fond reasons after passing out. Have fun, and I am sure you would go places :)...ISHAN BOSE

I first met Parth during our Bakra when someone was performing at melting pot and you were constantly pulling their legs with your hat on and I initially thought that you were in PGP2! But then we met again in Section A! God of PORs, CPs, Challenge CPs and OB! Extremely witty and apni baaton se kisi ko bhi pata sakta hai :D. Had a lot of fun in Section A! :P :P . And then came Exchange trip Still remember the day when I saw you happy high roamin in and around Amsterdam ki galiyon me :) ;) I have always heard ki ye ladka kisiki nahi sunta! :D That was evident when you went on that eastern Europe tour all by yourself! :) And how can I forget the day when Deloitte had come to campus. :D We both were cracking jokes till the end of the day when people around were studying seriously for placements!! :P And then that Papa ne bola hai risk mat le beta, ( lekin profile toh risk management ki thi! :P:P) haha!! A person like you kisi ko bhi topi pehna sakta hai! :P which will take you places! :) cheers to good times! ...RAHUL YADAV

Parth Kapoor. You were the first one I connected with on fb after converting IIM Indore. But My first sane encounter happened with him during our summer internship days. One of the few guys who is so full of energy, passionate and easy to get along. I remember the way you strted dancing in the Sony party. Tht ws pretty insane. He is one of the most ardent fan of Shahrukh and deepu ;) I rembr when u made the flat look like a sea ;) nd the “Tum hi ho” sessions you have to endure every day :D The internship went so smooth because of you and Soham around. You can never have a dull moment with him around. I know with the talent you have, you will be a top notch marketeer soon :D Stay blessed :)...MAYANK JAIN

Parth, you are the most insane person I have ever seen. Initially, I used to think that you use such fancy words for ‘about me’ for being different but now I know, every word written in the section is true to the core. But that I think is the quality I will admire the most about you, the quality of being true to yourself as well as those around you. I know that behind that

demented, psychotic, unhinged, outright maniac etc. lies an innocent, clear hearted and a fun loving guy. You are supremely focussed and are unabashed by any criticism that comes in way of achieving your goals. You are a go-getter and your perseverance is something that I vouch for. You will still be working even when others have stopped working and started chilling. Nevertheless, you are one of the closest friends I have ever had and I have had an amazing time with you, lending a shoulder for you to crib about the world, drinking with you and participating and winning competitions with you. All I can say is you are one of the rarest pure hearted people that I have come across. Be good and show the world your nice side also. :P i am sure they will love it. :) I don’t need to wish you luck for your future because I know you will be kick-ass in whatever you do. Just stay connected.wherever you are (including your Jhabua zilla) :) Cheers to all the good times we had and to the future. :) ...SWATI VERMA

I can go about writing Parth did this or Parth did that but I am sure I have given him enough of that in the past 1 year ï?? So here I am just gonna write what I have really learnt from him. I have had the opportunity to observe and interact with Parth in course of work, on exchange, in parties (one of which is legendary), on trips (one of which is even more legendary btw :D ) and in all the random stuff that good friends do. The one thing that is common in all is his undeniable â??Passionâ?? for everything he does. Passion is a highly misused or abused word in our circles but I can never use this word more aptly on anyone else than Parth. He really puts his 100% into everything from studies to sports to even girls :P He puts in so much into everything he does that sometimes it becomes beyond comprehension of aam junta like me who are much less attached and driven about the things we do. Probably thatâ??s why his emotions and thoughts are right there on the surface for you to see. I really admire Parth for what he symbolises and hope that I put even half the effort and soul that he puts into things that matter. He has been a truly loyal friend to everyone on campus and his actions make sure you do feel the same everyday. I am sure you will be one of the most successful people in our group Parth. ï?? ...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

PK â?? Super hard-working, very dedicated and very particular. Had a great time working with you at Sony. Iâ??ve always envied youâ??re ability to network so well and keep in touch with people. Something I still probably canâ??t do. Lastly, if I was making a deal Iâ??d really wish

you were on my side of the table coz I donâ??t think anyone can bargain better than you. :p...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Parth, parth parth!! What to say about you! Youâ??re quintessentially the Melodrama queen of our group!! But that is one thing that makes you really interesting. I know you are one person who will never accept things lying down and will always stand up for what is right. This is one thing I really admire in you. Your great sense of humor complimented by your helpful nature are few of the many reasons you have such a huge fan following. I know I can always bank on you if I need some help (dating tips I mean ;)). I wish you all the best for your career and life ahead. And yes, letâ??s do Alibaug again! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Parth ! wow man.. I am really happy to be writing this at your page today..

You are one hell of a guy .. so good not just at Marketing but anything you take on hands.. honestly you are the only guy whom I have been so jealous of and envied on campus that I can’t even imagine when it started... but the way you take the PROBLEMS ...it is just amazing.. (the only reason I still envy you is the fact that I admire so many qualities about you that I have always found myself lacking on).. you surely will do great in future .. hope I will be able to get better on some of my shortcomings... a challenge for me ! Cheers Dude ! :)...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

Parth, facebook’s biggest customer or biggest exploiter one can say (saala service free mein kya de di, yeh to pele hi jaa raha hai)! Inhe sub kuch pasand hai aur sab cheezon par tipanni karni ki aadat. Has already done his masters in coolness and knows how to use his it to full advantage! cutie pie he is (:D :P) ! and for people so cute itâ??s difficult not to be adored (sometimes banged) by guys as well! birthday kisi ka bhi ho parth jaroor bumps khaata hai. He has a penchant for conversation. The random bakar he can do at any hour of the day on any topic with an insatiable spirit is unbelievable. Most of the classes in section A were interesting because of his Cps. My badminton buddy though havenâ??t played much of it. He is someone to have around when he is high on liquid. Well all i know is, if you are in his company you cannot even think about getting bored. Stay as you are and do keep in touch !...NIKHIL SHARMA

Parth, Parth, Parth (like how Ashish would say it). You are the sole reason that I know almost one whole song in Hindi! I’ll be honest, we may not have been the best of friends - but you were always someone who I’ve respected a great deal. You are definitely one of the most hardworking

people on campus. The preparation you put in for any class and the dedication to any work is more than commendable. You may have psychotic mood swings from time to time, but I’ll tell you what, we all do; you are the only one who dares to show it out in the open. In the end, I know it’s only because you care and you would go out of your way to help a friend. Keep the mojo going Parth, It’s taken you places in IIM Indore and I’m sure it will take you miles in the years to come :) I hope that this is the start of some wonderful years of friendship to come! Cheers! ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Hi parth..the first senior i knew at IIM Indore..even before coming here..though u were completely different during bakra :P..term 1 would have been tougher without you..thankyou and all the best..:) ...PALLAVI GUPTA

Kapoor saab to jaan the hamare class ki. Man, your CPs were awesome (Not the DCPs :P ) A mix of humor and intelligence (Amazed? :D ) Bas rota bahut hai. Acha karega tab bhi royega aur bura kar gaya galti se tab to pucho hi mat. But he is very dedicated and competitive. Itni aasaani se haar nahi maanta. People who do not know you well find you arrogant and I hope you can understand the reason as well. But as they get closer to you, I think most will agree that you are a very level headed guy who just want his share of fun from life. Keep rocking bro.

Wish to hear good things about you going forward....VIVEK THEBARIA

The name’s Kapoor, Parth Kapoor. The guy struck me as a Bully when the first time I met him in an IMS preparatory class in Mumbai (tab main chota bachcha tha :P). But when I saw his iconic dance moves in our Bakra DJ party (Bulb kholo, Bulb band karo :P), I realized ki ye to apun jaisa hi hai, just much more energetic and outgoing. Parth wears his heart on his sleeve, speaking out his mind whenever he feels like.

There are no inhibitions and no restrictions whether be it giving CPs in class or shaking a leg. His life’s mantra is ‘Living life to the fullest’ kyunki kya pata ‘Kal ho na ho’. An ardent fan of classic movies and music, he would have watched DDLJ trillions of times. I still fall off my chair instantly whenever I think of the Pizza party at my place, when he found a hairlock and a nail inside his pizzas (poor guy). Working with you on Maverick was indeed refreshing, and I am sure we’ll get more reasons to bond over in the years to come. Keep rolling :)...APAL

Humpy !! You are the kind of person who does everything in extremes.

Emotions, work, joking everything You are really passionate about a lot of things and I really admire that about you though I won’t admit it if you ask me in person :P The time I really go to know you was just before summer placements. Then we worked together in Utsaha and it was an amazing experience. You are one of the most creative, energetic persons I knowand I have seen that during both Utsaha and Interrobang. Also you really do not know what to say at what time :P and there have been times I have been really offended by some of your comments but somehow we have always moved past that mostly because I am very kind hearted :P One thing I really like about you is your ability to talk to just about anyone. You know so many people that it is difficult to keep track now. Always stay this way and I hope to come visit you in the jungles where you will be working :) ...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Parth Parth Parth..the tone has been set by paras and starting your testimonial in any other way would be injustice.Everyone on campus knows the loud antics and Mood Swinging Side of parth (forgive the irony) . But lets leave out all that and get to things people probably don’t know you for. With the extra drama also comes a strong sense of loyalty. When being completely anti diplomatic within a known group can have its problems, not giving a fuck about what people outside say definitely can have great advantages and that’s where you ‘ll find parth really sticking up for his people . And man, you’re crazy useful when it comes to booking things and finding out the best deals etc - some practical aspects of travelling and just going out basically.I really don’t know anyone who’s better and faster at it.And this appeals to me even more because I totally suck at it.Exchange will remain an awesome period to cherish and the experience would’ve been incomplete without you. All the very best in your career and cheers to more trips in the future....HARSHVARDHAN V

a.k.a.Sleeping Partner. I survived the first year because of you, Parth.

From giving joint CPs to playing our favourite mobile game ( Hill Climb Racing)...we’ve done it all together on the first bench. You’ve taught me for quizzes and copied from me as well. You also made a wonderful assistant CR and I’m eternally grateful to you for the same. I’m going to miss scribbling things to you in the spirals and notebooks. I’m going to miss the gossip and your very very judgemental remarks about others and never about me. You’re the keeper of all my silly secrets! I’m never going to forget your quirks though. Your CP craving, that Red Jacket and that leather jacket which I HATE. That said, you are one of the most ambitious people on campus and you back it up with some serious smart work. I love it

that you know exactly what you want from life and are out there to do anything that’ll help you achieve it. You’re a friend, a confidant, and a big inspiration. I’ll always cherish you. The â??gaonâ?? is going to rock when this Chote Babu urf Last Man Standing arrives!...ANKITA SATIJA

PK!!!! Well, I have to begin by saying that your message almost brought tears to my eyes.. thanks for the kind words dude.. they really mean a lot! ï?? And now coming to you! Hmmm.. i clearly remember ur latka-jhatkas during the bakra dj..and it was enough to make me believe that you were a senior :-D and the next day, having lunch with u in the mess..uff..jaan nikal di thi tumne meri! :-P But once I knew the truth, it was not difficult to be friends ..and the rest is history :-P from doing ur tareef..to discussing my â??i donâ??t have a guyâ?? problem with u..to all the interactions we have shared, am going to cherish each and every one of them! I just canâ??t forget how you cheered me up during Utsaha last year..the moment u read my gtalk status, u called me up, came down to meet me and made sure i was okay.. that was tremendously sweet of u PK ï?? and ofcourse, that fateful night in your flat in Mumbai!! Iâ??m sure Swati is going to agree with me on this..it was one of the bestest â??gappe sessionsâ?? iâ??ve had so far! (coupled with the pleasure of taking ur case :-P) PK, youâ??re a really smart and witty guy.. and am sure youâ??re going to be great at work! Just keep rocking the way you always do..itâ??s been a pleasure spending these two years with you.. weâ??re definitely going to stay in touch.. no second thoughts on that.. keep smiling..stay blessed and good luck for the future! ï?? Iâ??ll miss you and our gupshup a lot! ...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Met you during Bakra time and probably that’s the only time I have seen you carry that serious look on! You have been a great friend and a mentor all throughout. Wish you all the very best! :) ...PIYUSHA DANI After Jayasimha, you are actually Kapoor and not Parth! In a way Parth, you have been my inspiration in many classes. Because given your CP skills, I was always trying to play the catch up game. Although literally I looked down upon you in the class, given where you used to sit, but actually, I have looked up to you for a lot of things. You must be blessed with a magical power to impress people, given how well networked a person you are on campus, perhaps the most networked.

Having worked with you in the same academic group, having sang “turakhia turakhia “ a hundred times, and having done Prabhat feris during Talent Night shows me how much energy you lend to things.

Be this person your entire life. Stay in touch!...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Hi :-) You are my first mentor of planet-I even before coming here. And you are just amazing- be it the fake seriousness of Bakra or the lecture sessions about MBA or guidance on how to go about things here. Stalked your FB profile quite often :-P Wish had got more chances to interact and learn from you. Hope to stay in touch in times to come. It was great knowing you and all the very best for your future :-)...ANKITA

Dude.. you are literally the first senior in college that I properly interacted with.. a helpful and humorous guy.. Ur jokes are seriously one of the best.. Hardworking and dedicated.. but you know how to have fun too..

Exchange par kya gaye.. since then gayab hi ho gaye.. Donâ??t disappear into thin air (hard for you) in the future.. :-P Glad to have met you.. All the best.. Take care :-) ...ADITI AGGARWAL

This guy is one of a kind. He is completely unapologetic about his weird ways.. even when he would ‘rattofy’ everything before an exam (even OB), or wear those pathetic troll face t-shirts or crawl on the floor after a drink or two :p but he’z one of the most jovial and hard working people you’d ever meet. One of those rare kinds who can share a laugh about themselves. We have had some great times together in Ashwa (read ‘THE farewell party). My wing mate in SR-12 3rd floor (practically a different world far far away) and the lucky one with the seat under the prof’s nose in section A, tune bhot torture jhele hai bhai!! :p . “Abey yaaar!!” Parth could almost copyright these words!

May this world bothers you a little less now. I’m sure you’ll do great!!

Keep rocking and all the best.. keep in touch! :)...VATSAL KOOLWAL

Parthaaaa mere bhaii...have no words to describe your wholesomeness.

You’re a great marketer, kickass at convincing people, a brilliant singer :P all in all an awesome guy :) I remember working with you in Interrobang and trust me dude you were the one I enjoyed working with most on campus. Ideas just came out like shit (thrust of the shit not the smell :P) That was one competition that I won’t regret loosing because I had an awesome time and got to learn a lot from you. The one thing that makes you stand apart from others is your passion - be it anything travelling, marketing, drinking :P lol. Jokes apart, but I’ve always had a kickass time when you’ve been around. You have a great sense of humor. You’re extremely dynamic and talented and I’m sure you’ll make it big in life. All the best bro \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Parth Kapoor! Your name is just as filmy as you are. If you are present there just has to be some craziness going on. Have witnessed a lot of it during our group assignments specially when you and Sukhad are together. I doubt there was ever a dull moment during our term 2 assignments. You might be this total crazy guy with friends but are equally brilliant when it comes to work.The Turakhia song is something I shall never forget. Wish you all the best for your future :)...

SONIKA KHURANA

I’l being with thanking you for bearing with me during the resume iterations and pre-summers phase, for answering my never ending questions about “shortlist aayegi kya” :P Thanks a lot :) Keeping the embarrassing bus ride aside :P I could not have asked for a better mentor, you were great!! And I learned a lot from you.. All the best for your Steel plant, I am sure it won’t be as bad as the jokes I have been making :P Best wishes for your career ahead! Keep in touch :)...

ANIMA SHARMA

Parth. It’s hard to find someone as straight up as this guy. What you see is what you get. He says exactly what he thinks and he gets your respect for it. He’s got that rare quality in that he knows what he’s good at and what he’s not. That gave him a very clear picture of what he wanted from this MBA and he went and got it. While the rest of us go about telling stories, Parth goes out and makes them :) . Parth, your enthu kept our group going even through the summer when most of us never saw each other. I think its your best trait and something you should never lose sight of. All the rest will fall in place naturally bro, be it career or love or anything else. Cheers...ADITYA BALARAMAN

I think a dog should learn how to be a dog from you! I doubt if I have ever met a more annoying person than you.. It all started in those MOS classes when you would try to outsmart me and fail.. Then again in BMOD.. You used to speak to annoy, it seemed! But the epic part was you during RIP.. At one point I was sure you had started annoying the villagers back there.. But whatever I say, I have to respect the fact that you can eat almost anything.. The dirtiest or the junkiest food you’ll have without thinking twice! haha.. Well I had to do some bashing before I said a few good lines.. Though you remind me of tommy the dog, you somehow managed to do pretty well in all competitions you’ve taken a part in.. You did manage to charm “Jai” and you somehow did some work in the assignments too.. So good job kutte..

That’s all I can think of... But ya.. Don’t laugh like the way you do that is

most annoying.. Till we meet next, see you ass... ...ADITYA AGARWAL

Chota Shakeel/Little badass - the image which comes to my mind when i think of Parth (which is not often, mind you :P). The first time we connected was during the summer placements last year when none of us was getting even a single shortlist!! I was in awe when he converted the very first chance that he got! Later, during RIP it was great fun to hang out with him, have whiskey together in that haunted house and of course when we had dog meat, mistaking it for chicken! :D He is a really confident guy and easily gets his way around things. He doesn’t give a damn what others think of him, which I think, is a rare and useful quality. Also, he’s quite a womanizer, I’ve heard..many PGP1’s fell prey to his charms :P Keep killing it like you always do! Stay in touch :) ...NITIN VERMA

Parth thereâ??s so much that can be written about you! Be it ur over enthusiasm, ur marks ke liye rona or ur love for marketing, excellent knowledge base. But for me all this is secondary coz I spent 3 months on exchange with you and have had experiences that none would share..the list of incidents will be endless if I begin. You are this insane guy who acts in extremes. In our principles for life we are almost as opposite as two people can be!! One impossible cranky person to be with but if you feature in his friend list, heâ??s among the most caring person whoâ??ll respect you and your space. In his own weird ways but he does really care for people who he wants to. His non-stop disappointment with me for being technologically handicapped or his utterly irritating ways of calling me â??Kanwal Kanwal Kanwalâ?? â?? I would never have known this guy if not for exchange. Spending time cooking, roaming the world, bugging him for taking pics (I miss our dear Somu.. sob) to literally driving me crazy over his mood swings. We had our share of arguments, cold wars, and what not but despite all this some of the most amazing moments of exchange were with him esp our self guided SRK DDLJ tour ;) and your advice giving session in Innsbruck over those doner kebabs for lunch!

Your resourcefulness is commendable when it comes to reading maps, finding routes, booking hostels or doing any jugaado kaam.. heâ??s the man! Request you to consider atleast some life advice shared with you :P I am sure the right people will acknowledge and be pleased by those lil changes in you. Apart from exchange, we have had lots of good times in campus and hopefully we shall continue to have such moments. Best of luck for future! Be patient, Be kind :P ;) but more importantly, stay happy and cheerful by doing what makes you happy in life....NEHA KANWAL

Partho! Tera sense of humor by God Killer hai :P We have spent so much

SINGH V E D KARAN AMRA K

KDS Camera...One of the big fans of Chelsea at Planet I. Karanpaaji... we were J-Block Johnies in the first year and we continued to be hostel block and corridor-mates in second year too..It was great to have you as a friend. I still remember the funny themes we were discussing for brand management at Arjunâ??s room. It was fun working with you. Your distinct identity is your pagadi style...you were hardly seen wearing cap unlike other paajis. Karan you are cool and composed person...a true football passionate person....the number of sports shoes, football merchandise in your room says it all. Best wishes for your career...keep in touch !! ...ANIKET YEVALKAR

Karandev Singh Camera, aka Nikon, amazing person :p. The first thing you would notice about him is the evergreen smile on his face. His ability to sleep long hours is phenomenal. Was always amazed during the 1st year thinking how can a person sleep till 2PM a day before ET exam! :-) ( & still come in top 10 :d). A very relaxed guy, you would rarely see him getting tensed. The chitchats we had during lunch/dinner which would always end up with me saying something & becoming the butt of jokes. I would never forget his statement “Chadha saab tension na liya karo” :-). You along with Chitresh, Karan, Hitesh made my first Hostel life truly memorable. Glad to have a friend like you, Wishing you all the very best for future :-) and hope that our paths may cross again in the future...PANKAJ DHINGRA

Paaji ~ a perfect all-rounder in our batch....Actively involved in sports and also among the toppers in class... A very humble and helpful guy...

Be it anytime of the day, he will either be sleeping or playing some game on lappie!!...His trademark style-’Standing/Walking with hands

in pocket’(:P)...Paaji you are one of the close friends, I found at Planet-I....

All our chit-chats, post-dinner walks n making fun of Chaddaji, Naughty Baba, unofficial SAC-C ( :P ) will be missed...Wishing u all the success and happiness in life....n do keep in touch.....Cheers!!!!...KARAN RATHOD

Got an opportunity to work with you on many occasions. And everytime was a pleasure. Yes, you are hard working, intelligent, good grades etc, but something that really stands you out from the rest is kind of calmness in your personality. This quality so rare these days, am sure will take you to great heights in personal and career space. ...ARPIT TANDON

I would say our education system is flawed for letting a guy to score so high even after sleeping 12 hrs average a day :P.Sometimes in the process of waking him up from sleep we end up waking people in other blocks also.He loves chicken biriyani but always fails to place the Nafees order before deadline.He is gifted with extra ordinary intelligence and an aptitude for finance.He can beat the hard-core fin guys in the campus by spending less than half the time they do on preparation. He could be one of the first in our batch to make CFO of a company. Best of luck for you..:)...ALI MONISH P E

Talented, intelligent, bit lazy and a dream to have ripped body with 6 pack popping out- that’s how I would define Karandev. Didn’t get the chance to interact much with him in the first year, but did that almost every other day in the second year especially when going to the gym. He is a football fan who supports Chelsea and doesn’t know who Cheteshwar Pujara is... :P Overall a nice guy to hang out with and I won’t forget the Corporate Banking end term when he came to my room saying that he didn’t study anything but still ended up getting an A .. :)...DEBRAJ DAS

I bet anyone to be able to take a pic of him without his hands in his pocket :D Poora 2nd year nikal gaya aur aisa ek bhi pic nahi mil paya :P This guy is crazy! Studies - Champion, Sports - Champion, Sense of humor - ROFL, Ego - 0. Bhai dis guy is a super-Sardar! Sab karta hai yeh bhai - including cooking mast parathas during HOP :D :D Karan ke saath trip pe aur kuch nahi chahiye :D I cherish your company and wish you a joyful and fulfilling journey ahead....VIDUSH ARYA

I got to know you in HOP and realized that you a full of fun kind of person and found out about your love for chicken. You would always be looking out to play pranks and pull people’s leg and I was definitely at the receiv-

ing end several times. But the trip wouldn’t have been so great without your wit and comments. I enjoyed following you on the shortcuts on the trek. You make any place so much more lively. It was great knowing you and I wish you the best in life. ...VRITIKA RAWAL

While we knew each other from before, we only really became friends in what was perhaps a really horrible period for both of us, the dreaded summer placements: P. It is said that the best of friends are made at the worst of times and so it proved to be the case. During the two years we spent on campus we were in several courses together and worked together in several groups as well. Having his company in all those groups made the work a lot more bearable and perhaps even fun. Not only that, we worked together in several corporate competitions and events as well. From being completely clueless in Ahvan 12â??s beat the market to getting highest in the quiz round of the same event in Ahvan 13 (or so I am told anyway), we learnt and grew together (we still had no idea what to do with that godforsaken currency trading competition though: P). But perhaps the most important thing we shared was our passion for Chelsea football club I will never forget all those discussions we had about our pathetic strikers, especially Torres ;). When we came to second year, I was somewhat apprehensive about taking finance courses, however, this guyâ??s confidence inspired me and I was able to take the gambleâ?¦ From scoring more than CAâ??s in accounting, to playing (and being very good at) almost every sport to winning several competitions, this guy is an all-rounder in the truest sense. He is a very hardworking and a very reliable person and also one of the most intelligent people I have met since coming to IIM Indore. I would like to wish you best of luck for the future, but more importantly, wherever you go Keep the blue flag flying high :D ...SAURAV GOYAL

I guess he is my first close sardar friend and I was his first close madrasi friend :p :p..whenever i knock his room i will find him sleeping but still this guy has the talent to ace A grades in almost all subjects..I will always remember his first CP in ghosh sir class about stereotypes and realized he is one very smart guy :) :)..conversations with him and nayak arnd wer always fun filled..I wish him all the happiness in lyf :) :)...VENKAT DUBASH. L

A complete football freak..... known for his one liners and epic comedy timing......I call him Karan Paaji. but I can’t match the nicknames you

come up with for every single person. Always happy guy wearing a consistent smile on his face no matter whatever happens. Tried a lot but could not change your ultimate eternal pose in every photo of yours “his hands in his pocket” whether he walks, sit, stand nd watever.. :-P His liveliness, frank, cool attitude has made you my best friend. You always stand with your friends and dont worry we will find you a nice gurl.........:-P..... I wish you all happiness in your life and wish that we always share this chemistry with each other no matter wherever we go........ stay in touch....:-)...PRIYA PARMAR

Fellow johnnie, usually calm looking person would surprise you with his swiftness and agility on field. A great sports person, our section’s key player in volleyball tournament.. We made it till the final. would cherish all those memories with you buddy. A genuine person, bold in speaking upfront, hardworking and above all a great person .. wish you good luck buddy :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

KDSK.. A very fun person to be around. I always admire your attention to detail and try to emulate it. I will never forget the IV conference room discussions, the tiring walks in the sun to the IV plant, the PGP1 row conversations etc. I also enjoyed a lot working on group assignments where we used to come up with at least 100 crazy ideas before landing on a sane one. These moments are what makes college life memorable so thank you for being a part of them. KDSK is a genuinely hardworking guy and I am sure you will make it big in life. But however successful you become, please remember you have a deal with me for starting the “Punjabi Dhaba” - so as soon as you read this pick up the phone and call me . I am waiting for you call.......ARJUN NAYAK U

Paaji! The one-pose man for all his pics. A true all-rounder. Great in studies and sports alike. Fun to be with. HOP was a revelation ‘bout you.

Had such a great time with you. With you (and Goyal) in the assignment groups, I knew I could take it easy for the work will be good and upto the mark. Being a fellow jhonny, somewhat interested in stocks, Opponent in JPL, classmate in first year and sharing several electives together, its been great to know you. I wish you all the best for your future and always keep making the environment lively and fun. :)...VIVEK THEBARIA

KDSK..as he is fondly called. One of my first friends on campus. Karan is among the sweetest and most polite guys you can find. Always thought that you were way too quiet till we went on RIP together. The boy has

tonnes of interesting stories to share, very chatty when he finds the right company. Sometimes it was difficult to get him to keep quiet! :P Karan has a heart-warming smile and a very easy-going nature which means he can get along with pretty much anyone. Thanks for being a great friend throughout, especially during those initial days when company was so difficult to come buy. All the very best! Do well!! :)...

ADHIT S. SHETTY

Karandev Paaji....gem of a person..a great footballer....always talked to him...but the real chord connected in HOP...where we spend really good times....the cooking activity was hilarious and we died laughing....one of the few guys who calls me Onsu You are an innocent, kind hearted, innocent person with a fighter spirit. Greater heights to achieve ...All the best ...ANSHU KUMAR

Mr Kamra..the superbrain of our group and yet so down to earth. A fin guru and a football fanatic.How he manages to excel in both studies and sports is beyond me. You can find him walking around in a long t-shirt and hands in his pockets. He has a great sense of humour which one get to know of only after you spend some time with him. A great friend and a honest individual. Wish you success in life and I’m sure you’ll reach heights in your career. Cheers!...Chitresh Singh

Kaddu Paaji Satsriakal :P :D Oops oops! Ab type ho gaya hai yearbook pe, aur mere keyboard ki backspace key bhi kharab ho gayi hai. Ab yehi naam hai aapka final :P Ab tareef mein kya likhein.. :P Ummmm, you’re the best person on Planet-I! :) :) :) Aur jhooth thoda? :P Ummm, you’ve been a mentor to me and a best friend.. :P Ummm, aur aur...

You’ve an amazing sense of humor, great patience and calmness.. Aur have always been there to listen to me and support me.. Bas ab :P Now that you’re about to leave this campus, I wish you all the best.. and may you choose the path you always wanted to.. we’ll continue to be awesome friends :) will miss you.. :) All the best! :) ...NIHARIKA SHARMA

You get to know this guy and you’ll know how deceptive looks can be.

Looks like a kid.. All innocent n all that...Blends in with kids..(remember the park in Ratlam where you matched up to the kids there?) Reminds me of the kid in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota hai’ (Parzan Dastur)... But, once you get to know him, you’ll realize he’s all mischief.. Fun person to hang out with.. Karan, You just don’t have to speak.. the expressions on

your face when someone acts silly are to die for.. :D And how can I not mention the classic Karan-pose.. Easiest guy to photoshop and add in any pic... Kid,You always seem to understand the unsaid.. RIP and HOP would’ve been so incomplete without you... Take care... Keep in touch :) All the very best :)...S KANCHANA

Though I knew you as a classmate, I got to kno you in person only thro HOP. You were really patient with me during the HOP trek, by helping me climb up. Thank you for that. I wish I had known you earlier. You are the guy who make people around split into laughter, with your timely comments. Your style of narrating stories kept us engaged during the chats we had in HOP. Your irritation towards anything girly makes me want to see your reaction on watching a movie like Legally Blonde. :D You are the guy who always used to click pics because your pose was a standard one which can anytime be cropped and added to any pic :P It was great knowing you. Stay in touch. :) All the best :)...V. DARSHANA

He is a very brilliant guy. You will see him playing football (on ground and laptop) , gossiping , chit-chatting , sleeping (he claims to have a average sleeping time of 10 hours and that too at IIM I !!!) but you will never see him studying. But when exams come he will always be among top 10 in his section. He is a silent killer. He will listen to you silently and in the end fire a lethal comment. Although he is going to gym ever since he came to IIM I but �����.. Well I had awesome with you buddy ������ I wish you all the best for future and I am confident one day you will make a mark in fin area ���� God bless you �..

Stay in touch ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

Karan visa-v Sandy..... member our sportscom team.... though he is little serious guy but i damn good at heart..... he is self motivated and always fulfill his responsibilities well..... being part of Indore marathon.. i got an opportunity to work with him...... and there are hell lot of things that i learnt from him.... Very balanced and composed.... Keep in touch bro :) you are going to be an awesome manager bro.... and you will definitely do wonder in your life.... everyone know that :)...SUMIT VERMA

AMAR A Y V A K

Kavya!!!! you are an surprising personality... you keep on surprising me every time me meet and the times we have spent.... your sense of humor is the best quality in you... Your one friend with whom time flies by.... I would cherish all the moments that we have spent .... Cheers gal!!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Kavya is one of the liveliest people on the campus. With her around, there’s never a dull moment, whether the joke is by her or on her. Had a lot of fun in junior MediaCom working, partying and hanging out together. And what a fantastic singer! Keep in touch and wish you a great future!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Alright, the first time I interacted with you was on way back from the city in bus when we were sitting together, and boy I was thoroughly impressed! Here is a girl who gets a job but doesnâ??t join for a year because she thinks that is not aligned with her long term goals, has learnt classical Carnatic music for 12 years, considers morals & ethics in high regard and has this astonishing quality of inserting the article â??Reâ?? anywhere possible in a sentence & carrying it off with elan and grance! _/\_ Believe me we talked through all of this right at the first go and I thought this was the Sanskaari kanya of our 2k14 batch!

While you havenâ??t failed to continue being impressive thereafter, from beneath those first impressions emerged an absolutely fun, humorous and friendly person. And coming to know of Sheru and those Skype rumors :P was the ultimate nail in the coffin of those first impressions :D But then, more importantly we really hit off as good friends! Whether it be that Relationship-going-through-the-rocks joke or me waking up at 2:30AM & bumping into you guys at night mess to

get that ice cream; or that tera-wo something I uttered while working together for P&G Dream Team, we have had our share of laughter together.

Appreciate your sense of humor. It was really great to know & hang out with you, and if our paths happen to cross again after passing out, I hope we reclaim the friendship that once was. Have fun, and keep rocking! :)...

ISHAN BOSE

What to write re.. The way you talk (the language, grammar, attaching â??ing to all words) is full of humour. Meeting you for year 1 ke fin lessons to your PPO news, it is always great and amusing to have conversations with you. I had already told you in term 1 that you are my source of inspiration for sitting though the lectures among the wide yawns and everything. Your great singing has been a pleasure for everyone on campus.

Hope to hear your singing soonâ?¦ probably in Mumbai. Stay connected and wishing you all the success in life.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

Kavya- A very warm person to be with. Smart and fun-loving (True, I haven’t been a party to any of your fun-rides ever..but this is what I have heard and imagined ;) ) Wish you all the very best....VIVEK THEBARIA

One of the coolest seniors I have had the chance to interact with...:) Working with you has been an amazing experience.You never pressurized us...:P Our team meetings were something which we all used to look forward to attending, so that we could watch your favorite Tamil film videos.....:P Spent a lot of fun time with you...Hope to stay connected with you after college...Wish you all the best for your future...:) ...PAWNITA MALHOTRA

Re, one of the toughest tasks on campus for me has been to wake you up from sleep. Man, you sleep like a complete kumbhkaran. I started getting calls from multiple sources to tell me to wake you up but your sleeping skills at odd hours just amaze me. :P One other cool thing about you is your eating disorder. I still can’t believe how you manage to not eat for days. :P Only oxymoron come to my mind when I think of you, your order in chaos, your paranoid yet optimistic, funny in serious situations, you work the best for things you crib about the most. :P and lots more.

So much memories I have of you, you have been a perfect partner to laugh with esp. in awkward situations. I have laughed out on almost all silly,serious,random things with you and having you as a neighbour was completely worth it. I hope to continue with such good times for a long time to come.You rock. Lots of love. :)...SWATI VERMA

Well, to start with I really want to hear you sing again (tere mood ka pta nai :P)... it was lovely to spend some good time with you (even if that was a long time back)... dont know what went wrong.. used to think a lot about it whether it was a victory lap after RB (can’t be really).. or was it something to do with one of our mutual friends... had to stop bothering about it a later stage.. U are a dynamic person.. smart & dedicated... will look to forward to work with you in future and have some Victory laps together... keep in touch... go milder on me the next time.. :P :P...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

I know you are probably dreading what is going to follow after this line, considering it’s written by me - heads up, I will try to be nice for a change :) Skybar, it was called if I am not mistaken. That was the lame sports bar (which we never went back to) where we watched the Wimbledon semi-final and it was the first time we met. After that you guys went shopping and I offered to carry one bag and you said wait, take all three :) Since then, as you said, you’ve liked me 75% of the time and I’ll take that as a win. You’re super fun to be around whether it’s been about not saying please (else you will refuse to do something) or just the random fights we had, every waking minute has been a complete joy. I really wish we had won a competition together, but I know from working with you that you know your stuff and are really dedicated once you commit to something. More importantly, the fun we’ve had outside college has been simply brilliant. HOP was awesome and I will never forget you clinging on to Bayyan’s (if that’s how his name is spelt) bag and climbing up. Mercuri-i :D With all the random meetings and cool parties. Rajasthan happened only because of you and it was just as awesome as you are! I know I maybe annoying, mean and a bit of a pain but I tend to do that to only people I am really comfortable with and who I actually do care about. Here’s to this friendship never ending and here’s to me trying my level best to improve that 75% on the liking scale :)...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

To be really frank Kavya is too much a complicated personality for my limited social cognitive abilities to understand. ï?? But the little I could figure out about her is enough for me to marvel at. If I ever wanted a â??Partner in Crimeâ?? she would figure really high on the list (yes Kavya, beating a lot of boys I must say). I will always remember our little â??Social Experimentsâ??, checking out street food (her fetish for panipuri :P), the pseudo duets we had in the cab rides and all the fun we had during intern in Mumbai. ï?? She is one of the rare girls who

will not give a fuck about what place is it or what people will say or why in the deuces I should do this if she set her mind on it and thinks is the right thing to do. Many of us have strong opinions about people but rarely have I ever seen anyone having the courage to speak up like Kavya. I respect her a lot for that. She is also a really loyal friend to have you can be sure that she will stand up for you no matter what and most importantly she will stay the same even when you go to exchange and come back. ï??

Beyond this it is all dark territory for me about her. :D You can never really put a finger on her and say that Kavya likes this and dislikes this, she has too many OCDs and in general unpredictable. I hope we continue to be in touch in Mumbai so I can spend more time unraveling her. ...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

Re is one of my closest friends on campus with who I’ve spent I don’t know how many laughter sessions. Re, you truly are one person with whom I can share any Re-ndom joke and I always know you’ll laugh at it, if no one else. ;) And your upfront line maaro-ing on me whenever I was in business formals used to leave me blushing like crazy. I think we have had the best time together in the BA classes, that is when we started sharing all our shitty secrets. And if you remember, we did some analysis of our own of you-know-what. One of the many things I like about you is your candid and upfront nature. You have never been shy of cracking any Re-ndom Bhejjjjj /Non-Bhejjjj joke, and they are just too good! The time we spent during HOP was definitely the most memo-Re-ble one. I feel so proud to start all the Re-Jokes. Also never to forget our singing sessions, where I always used to mess up the lyrics and you never used to leave a chance to pull my leg. I’m surely going to remember those moments forever. Just be like this forever and I’m sure you will easily Re-ign in at Re-monds!! :P...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

In the limited opportunities that I have had over the past two years, conversations with Kavya have been a fresh breath of air. It is in the fact that neither of us have had any inhibitions while talking to each other - her honesty and straight-forward nature being a hallmark It was entertaining and enriching, to say in the least, working with her and I take with me memories far better than worse. I wish you the best in life! To Term 1 Group Work! ...SYED ERAJ HASSAN

Penning down in this limited space what you mean to me would be great injustice to the times we have spent with each other. Randomly we ended up in Kajri’s class, randomly in the same group, randomly in the Zumba

classes, randomly you started featuring very up in my Whatsapp chats, and then randomly came the ‘HOP Trio’. I cherish this random course of events as it gave me you, the person with whom I have fought the most yet always wished I could fight less with. . I still can’t get away with the bizzare things that have happened with us; suddenly planning to go for pani puri and finding every restaurant shut that day, missing on the shuttle bus, landing on a non-functional rick ultimately walking all the way back to the campus; running madly towards the bus placing the ‘Masala Puri’ in your hand which was in fact stretched out to create a romantic ‘DDLJ’ moment...:P..:P , you calling my Mom to force her to coax me to buy a new shirt only because it was Diwali. HOP and Udaipur trips have been the best to happen Re. Lying down under the starry night with you , braving the tedious climb in Himalayas with you, even sharing the same bus seat with you and endlessly talking on randomest things on earth, experiencing telepathic moments like never before are some vivid memories. Your absofuckinlutely awesome passion for Bollywood movies and songs have made my experience while watching movies or listening to songs more blissful. The nightouts, the long walks, discovering our very own adventurous spot on campus -- Oh! I am gonna miss them all. You are undoubtedly the bestest friend of mine Re.The small things that I have learnt from you, even like usage of the Alt+Right key bring smile on my face.How I wish I had a Pensieve to store all our memories in and a Time Turner to go back to 1st year when we both were oblivious of each other’s presence. Nonetheless, Hope we remain in touch forever. May you get all the love and success in life.Care. Hugs....HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

I met her during Bakra, and unexpectedly she turned out to be the only nice person amongst the seniors who seemed to make our lives hell at Planet-I. Of course, in retrospect I wish the seniors were stricter and the processes more stringent only to make the later part more fun!

I had an awesome time knowing you Kavya. I wonder how you can always put up that wonderful smile on your face all the time. Have a blast in life! Make it big. :D ...ADITYA GHOSH

You are one of the coolest senior on campus. My resume would have been a herculean task without you. May god bless you with loads of success and keep smiling always ;-)...BARLEEN KAUR

Its been really nice knowing you and working with you..and yes you have a very good smile ( try showing it when you get clicked..you look

good :) ) Your super serious tipsy-time expression is absolutely hilarious :P .. So here’s wishing you loads of success and luck for everything in life ! All the best!...DEEPTI KAUSHAL

Hey Kavya, It was great working with you for Mercur-i. I still remember the couple dance we did together during our first party at Delhi grill. Take care yaar ! Have a great life !...AKHIL KRISHNAN SHOBA

Hi kavya..u r great fun,,it was a lot of fun working with u in utsaha..will never forget ur “re” :p..keep smiling..all the best :D...PALLAVI GUPTA

On a level of ‘Re-ndomness’ which is beyond the confines that the Earth imposes on us mortals, there is no one I can more comfortably relate to than Re.With or without being under the influence, I think we could go on talking with absolutely no train of thought and pick up automatically the next day from where we stopped. Incredibly quirky, with stark extremes of high enthu and impossible laziness, Re you’re a bunch of contradictions that would never suit anyone else :) Always vocal and open about her views, Re’s mannerisms are very contagious and within days you would have random people saying “Appa” “Allah” and “Ayyo”.Her cycling skills are legendary and deserve a testimonial by itself.Wish we could spend more time on campus.Bu there is always Mumbai to catch up on missed times Kavya !. PS. Atleast once I wanted to use your name....

HARSHVARDHAN V

Mediacom was the first club/committee to get 100% placed (junior and senior team included), and it started with Kavya. The complete (wo)man who doesn’t mind leg-pulling at all and can say the word “Re” twice in every sentence she utters is a cool girl to work with. Really liked the way Apal and you pushed for the guest speaker session. Was fun working with you and all the best for future re :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

Most of our interaction involved pulling Harjai’s leg. You have a really cool sense of humor and were the source of so many funny comments. Wish you the best!...SHREYA TANDON

First words spoken to her on 3rd July 2012 were, â??Excuse me, do u have a torch?â?? and thatâ??s how our story as neighbours began and today we are the best of friends! Be it the four of us chatting in one of our rooms, or you knocking on my door early morning or late night or just crossing each other in the corridors and then losing track of time..

we all definitely had that one thing in common which brought us so close - our love for talking endlessly!! Have never come across a more straightforward person who can say her heart out.. one of the few things I hope to learn from her. Among the other things I need to learn are, how to survive without food (Breakfast is the meal sheâ??s seen only about 10 times in these 2 years!) and without sleep... the two most critical aspects of my life which are of least significance to her!! :P Remember those times in first year when you used to come back after your Harmon-I sessions at 7am and then ask me to wake you up by 8am for class :O Still canâ??t get how this girl multi-tasked so well.

Good things said, I hate the fact that you under-estimate yourself so much at times and unnecessarily question your capabilities... coz the times you worry or crib the most, your success levels are the highest! I also dislike it when you so easily lose patience over things, arguments but at the same time I love your honesty and the fun-loving child in you whose ready for pranks, parties, hanging out always that balances this out. Iâ??m probably among the very few fortunate ones on campus whoâ??ve seen not just the happy Re-ndom side of hers but also an equal, if not more, of the serious Kavya too. Nonetheless, both are equally wonderful. And yes, I do owe you an exclusive treat as it was on your birthday that I finally got placed and the reasons to celebrate that night just multiplied. Lots of luv :-*...NEHA KANWAL

Are â??Rayâ?? Are.. Kavya â?? you were the saving grace in the term2 group at Indore! I still remember the first time we met (and how excited you were that Jagan was your Placom mentor). I shall never forget your Harmon-I performances. Youâ??re an amazing singer â?? donâ??t lose your voice. Hoping to see you at the Raymond Idol performances :p. All the best for everything ahead!!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Re ! you were one of my first friends here courtesy of being my neighbour. You are one of the most vibrant and fun persons on campus. No matter what the occasion one can never get bored in your companyas you always have some or the other story ready to entertain us.You have way too many wierd traits- your eating habits and sleeping habits are well known but what I find the funniest is how you are so extremely possessive about that blue eraser of yours :P You are also a very helpful and kind hearted person and have always been there to help and support me. I can never forget the countless meals you have brought for me when I had hurt my leg. And remember the time you went to

Jaysimha’s class to get my specs :P The Time spent together during RIP also was truly fun and I will always remember it.. Always maintain this fun and vibrant persona of yours :) PS : I hear that Navi Mumbai and Thane are quite close by so that should be fun !...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Re, you’re so easy to become friends with that I can’t for the life of me remember our first meeting. It’s been a fun ride with you over these 2 years and I’ve enjoyed every little bit of it. One of the things that I was drawn to in you is a very similar sense of humour that we boh share, always trying to go one up over each other with our stupid word play. You’re always up for any plan and you’re an incredibly open minded person- two qualities I admire greatly. RIP and HOP wouldn’t have been the same without you for sure. Anyway, the fun times are not past us yet as we move on to Mumbai (in your case Thane). I’m up for continuing the banter if you are. Love...

ADITYA BALARAMAN

Kavuliii..one word UNPREDICTABLE! [Yes, you made me eat my words] You are unpredictable with your jokes, your moods, your judgements, your likes-dislikes..what not. We met at a Mercur-I meeting, you told me you didnâ??t know me and looked me up in the seating chart! I was really apprehensive about working with you, I had this notion of a chasmishpadhaku girl. Boy, I was so wrong. We had our own little somethings like the Mahindra trip, thele pe pani-puri, tattoos on our hands, Mango lolly, Kishore Kumar songs, Utsaha, Adapt, Diwali shopping, your sari selection, jeeragg-mithai, mango-bite, Kismi, Zumba, Milkmaid, Whatsapp chats, you sleeping off when â??m talking, my drawings on your hand, your PJs, salt-shakers, Boo..long list no! Not to mention the long walks and movie night outs with Harjai and Loopy, Koffee with Kavya and our did-you-hearthat-song moments. We sure had our perennial fights..good long ones. It is difficult to write a testimonial for you Kavya â?? I have missed a lot of things above. You are wonderful and i know you will be like this only 10 years from now....Abhish Nair

Kavvyaa! You’re the most cheerful and warm person I’ve ever met! Vivian and Abhish had to try really hard to be funny, but you were the one who always cracked the most spontaneous jokes :D You’re so much fun to be around! I loved working with you in Mercur-I. Why ‘re’ you have to go already? :P Here’s wishing you loads of success in the future. Stay blessed :)...ADITI SINGH

Fountain, you are so crazy and random and I secretly wish I could be a

little like you. Some crazy moments we’ve shared together: Co-ordinated dance moves, giggling like teenage girls over boys and then feeling extremely ditched later ( hint: HOP, Pig Story), failed gujju style dressing-up. But I think the HOP was by far the best time we spent together. Remember the life lessons we were to remember from that trip? Neither do I :). You always have an audience in me to laugh at your random(some might be tempted to crack a re-joke here but I’ll spare you) but awesome jokes. Also, you’re the closest thing to a ‘girl friend’ I have on campus. Love, Fountain....ANKITA SATIJA

The girl who needs some real crash course sessions on english movies. I still cant believe she hasnt seen Spider Man, Super Man, Iron Man and all the other Man movies(I mean cmon :P). Shes a very fun person to hang out always upto some kind of mischief - movies(haha), bakkar, night mess etc etc. Shes extremely talented and is dedicated in her work. I will never forget the Sheru incident :P All the best for everything that life has in store and stay the same lively, enthusiastic person that you are....Aaron DSouza

Kavya re....I thought I was a pretty good singer and she burst the bubble pretty early for me during the practice sessions we had for Talent Nite...She is a fun-loving and uninhibited person...Keep mesmerising people with your ‘Sur’....Wish you all the success in life :)...

RUDRASHIS ROY

You know the first time we met, you just asked me if you could charge your phone in my room, just like that. No intro, no nothing, and this was probably our 2nd or 3rd day in college? I got the feeling that here was an interesting person and that it would be fun to get to know her!

Except for the fiasco that our Mindrover attempt was, that didn’t happen too well as I guess we were living in two different worlds :) Wish you all the best for the future! Cheers!...Avinash Chidambar

What I remember are the crazy hollywood-bollywood games and the time you got a DCP for trying to wake me up in a class... Ab isse zayda dosti ka kya proof hai ki khud dcp kha k friends ko bacha rhai hai. You are one of the few genuinely interesting people I met during these 2 years.at planet-i...ABHISHEK CHAUHAN

THe D Day of Committee elections in PGP 1, one is frantically looking at the final shortlist. Somewhere near the end, you find your name-

Relief. Let’s see who’s at the top-some girl called Kavya Amarnath. And so began my association with “Golden Nightingale” and copyright owner of “What re”. Media Com was fun, with all the parties and bakar sessions and dumb charades. Even in second year, whenever we’ve talked, we’ve had a healthy conversation. You are a fun loving person who is earmarked for brilliance, you will do great wherever you go. Keep the music rolling gal! :)...APAL

Kavya.. I have always admired u.The following may sound cliche, but its totally true: You are super friendly, helpful, intelligent and dedicated.

Working with u in AdApt just highlighted your eye for detail and dedication. Wishing u the best... hope to keep in touch :) ...ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

Kavya, you were the first person to look into my resume..and I was really surprised at the level of patience you showed while editing it.. :P Your dedication towards your work inspires me.. :) Wishing you all success ahead..!! Hope we meet again sometime.. :)...VINEETA JHA

Hey Kavya..you have been really patient and dedicated in looking into each one’s resume and sat there working on it despite having loadsa pressures. You have been an inspiration with your accomplishments. Keep moving onto rising heights of success. Good luck for your future. Hope to stay in touch :)...BHUVNEET K. RAHEJA

It comes as no surprise to me that your yearbook page is practically overflowing with testimonials. You are probably the most affable person on campus - with your inclination toward bad puns and PJ’s and horrible horrible dumb charades drawings (Zoo-no-bee-a?? wtf :P), you made Sabita’s classes bearable. Your fascination for the ‘apne me seemit’ men and women in our batch astounds me and cracks me up at the same time. It’s a shame I didn’t have the chance to know you better. I really hope your dream of becoming an overnight youtube sensation works out someday :) Hope you come up with several fascinating ad campaigns for Kamasutra instead if it doesn’t :P I’m gonna end this with a cliched ‘Never change’ but I really hope you never do. Go forth and make the world a brighter place now :) ...ANOORAG BISWAS

Re..where do I even start..my first impression of you was during the first adapt meet in hussain’s room and then u marvelling at the fact that I am a tam and even more that your tamil is better than mine..and there began

constant everyday banter of who is better may it be in adapt, in speaking tamil or even two player reactor :D and all the walks from sports complex after practice at 4 in the night making up ghost stories about the rocks on the way to the various face/hand paintings and selfies in the music room were just too much fun..your on stage presence and bloopers(piya tuuuuuuuu :P) will be cherished :D Some peculiar mannerism of yours(read no no no no no no or yeaaaahhh) and then all random chats during internship, ur call on my bday and all the French talk :P and my continuos boasting of my luck(term 4 bidding) and achievements which only u cud have handled :) the two years have been awesome with you around and it is so easy to be myself around you because u always try and keep making statements correcting me which end up making me cooler(like the length of the jhola for starters and just about a hundred other small things :P) Hope we can meet up to relive these memories and more.. wish you the best.. you are awesome,maybe a tinge more than me ;) :) ...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

Aaaaa Aaaaa Kavya. The melodious drama queen. This chirpy character has had a lot to say at all times. Apart from the couple of grumpy days in the first September on campus, which terrified everyone, she has been an amazing friend. Her ‘Dil ne Kaha chup ke se...’ gave me goose bumps every time I heard. Try pulling her leg and she replies with something that amplifies the fun all the more laughing alongside you. Keep the laughter quotient high. Wishing you a great career and an amazing life!...Rishabh Trivedi

Re!! When I saw you at the ‘Dark Knight Rises’ movie during our first days at IIM Indore, I remember I had smiled, and that’s the one thing that has not changed even today! Whenever I see you, I cannot help, but smile. Be it your quirky mannerisms, your typical dances, your choice of words - a mix of Tamil, Telegu, Hindi, English and Adivasi Lingo together they’re all extremely pleasant and come together in a funny, yet cute and infectious kind of way! Yooo and kathe are my favourite ones :P I think we’re complete opposites and thatâ??s why we gel so well â?? I could never imagine myself doing the crazy stuff you do â?? laugh so loudly, telling people stuff ‘muh pe’ without thinking, and doing dance moves while walking. And, yea, no wonder you find me boring! Re, you are one superb multi tasker - along with campus rigor, you pulled off important PORs, and late night Harmon-I practices with ease (ok not ease but, you were fairly successful). There

have been so many awesome moments spent over the last 6 months. Our favourite egg fried rice with packets of Pocket Maaza in the night mess, the adventurous journey back from Janpaw Kutti, the jokes and stories we shared during BA class with the rooster alarm going off loudly once. I feel extremely comfortable sharing anything with you. You bring out the fun side in me, and I think I bring out the best earnest & intellectual side in you.

We have had so many wholehearted, somewhat profound discussions, and I am proud of the fact that we share this balanced rapport. The RD night when we got drunk (I chose to get drunk for the first time with you) was awesome... ending with you wanting to puncture someone’s tyres Haha! I’ve actually begun to do somewhat crazy stuff and become a little more bindaas only lately for which I give you the credit! And as you say Re - you bring out the best in me... I agree! love you truckloads! Always be as AWESOME as you are! :-*...Raoul Lopes

TB! What re? I am still angry about not winning AdApt.. After all my entry was good! haha.. But I think you have also been a victim of my leg pulling..

Well your name itself i.e. TB comes from a prolonged yet still funny joke!

Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

Kya re! From our very first group meeting you exhibited your passion for sleeping and bakar..it was really difficult for me & Eraj to wake you up from ‘slumber’ :P Working with you was always fun given the kind of responses you give and the jokes you crack. Now that you are getting into the business of making “complete gentlemen” ....I hope you will get me the suit you promised :P Wish you a great life ahead!!...NEERAJ KUMAR

So we have hit a bit of a rocky patch, if we could make it past your visions of me wearing edible grass shorts with goats hanging around, we can make it past this as well! :P Kavya, you were and are the prime weirdomagnet. Maybe it has something to do with all those quirks, or maybe it is just because you are so nice to us retards, that we have no option but to be friends with you! The fact that at one point you thought you were turning into me, tells me how well-wired you are into our minds! You were around, as a part of, or the reason of the best of times I had in the last 2 years. I remember you being happier than I was at the time I got placed in summers! Utsaha, Alibaug, Birthday etc etc. Weâ??ve spoken about life and all that makes it excruciatingly painful, and Iâ??ve never felt more connected to anyone about these things ever. Most people dont get why I do the things I do (due to all the drama), but you, you see right through.

Through all the shit I pulled off (Mercuri mails and so on), you were there

with me. You’re still a friend after knowing all the fuckups Iâ??ve had in my colourful little past. Youâ??ve got a suppaandi face, butt chin, broken nose, unwieldy the rest of you, and yet, youâ??re one of the very few beautiful souls Iâ??ve ever known. Believe you me. With all the happy memories, there are a few sad ones as well. It makes me sad that â??Humpy Fountainsâ?? never really hung out together!

The best thing I could do for me was to go on student exchange. But to win some, you lose some, and there is nothing more I regret than not spending more time with you. Honestly, I donâ??t know what the future holds for us, but whether or not Iâ??m there in this future, I wish nothing less than a world of happiness for you! Stay just as mindnumbingly awesome as you are! Love you Kavya! :)...PARTH KAPOOR

You are undoubtedly one of the most entertaining and chirpiest people Iâ??ve met on this campus. Youâ??ve got an awesome sense of humour, and you manage to turn even the dullest incident into a laughing riot! :D I can honestly say that there has never been a dull moment with you; you always had enough stories and gossip in your kitty whenever we had our chats. Right from the bus rides of our IV days, to the all-nighter Harmon-I practice sessions to the numerous outings in 2nd year: each one of those has been memorable and you play a big role in that. And yes, you can totally take the credit for getting me my first drink :)Youâ??re one of the few people I considered as my close friends, and trust me I donâ??t do it that often.I donâ??t know what exactly happened to cause our drifting apart, and Iâ??m sorry that happened coz you were one of my favourite people on campus, and still are. I still hope that we can be the good friends that we were, but I frankly donâ??t know how things will turn out. Stay the same chirpy, frank and straightforward person that you are. Your humourâ??s the best thing about you, so keep it safe :)I wish you all the happiness, success and fun that the future has to offer. Take care, and hopefully keep in touch :) ...ZONOBIA SAFAR

One of the first senior girls I got introduced to!!It was really fun working with you Harmon-I and Utsaha. You are sweet, lively, intelligent and a cute girl.. Keep up the spirit and all the best...stay in touch..:)...

MOHIT SAHNI

Re. I hate to admit but I could never beat you when it came to sarcastic comments or in one of those stipid war of words. In fact, I love your wit and sense of humour though a lot of it is directed at me. I had the

pleasure of working (actually not working and only chatting) with you on Philips BluePrint. And it was a lot of fun ! You are truly multi-talented Singing,marketing, competitions, tennis (defeated sania eh !). And yes ! I can proudly say that I have heard you sing. And trust me its an absolute bliss ! I can never forget the fun times we had at RIP and Alibaug trip. I look forward to many such memorable experiences in the future....PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Re! That’s infamous on our campus about you....my first memory was of us watching watchmen in my room and me falling asleep in the key scene,,,, you have always come across as a fun and intelligent person... you sing really well...also beer marathon was amazing thanks to you for inviting me !!! M sure you will do really well in life and keep in touch :)...

MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Kavya - I always think of the mixed languages she keeps blurting out when I think of her. There has to be english and hindi (in her own weird but likable accent) Regret not having known her better. The group assignments we did together she was always taking charge, ahead of others, dictating responsibilities. There was a time when she starting scaring me too. I believe the credit for coining the term ‘ Yelli’ (which is going to stick with me for a lifetime) goes to this lady and Bhoomi. Hope to keep in touch. Luv :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Kavya! You ‘re’mind me of this ‘re’ally fun and talkative friend I had in school. (Ok no you don’t, I just wanted to use ‘re’ somewhere in a funny way) Mercur-I, Harmon-I and Adapt, sharing 3 POR’s is quite something isn’t it? I remember how surprised you were everytime I landed up for an interview in each of the clubs. But it has been really awesome working with you in these. You have a great sense of humor, are very creative and have the best random dance routine on DJ nights. And the He-he and dundun references, hilarious! Its been a pleasure to know you. All the very best for your future. Hope to meet you again, randomly walking down a road in hyderabad or something. Cheers!...ANKIT RATNA

What re Kavya! More effective than Whats up! ;) Kavya is such a lively person that you can NOT remain quiet around her! She is nuts...and you can see that every time she says -”Ae what re!” before recounting funny moments, happy moments or calamities. We had an awesome time during our Mediacom stint... launching into fits of laughter around Lajjo raani. You sing like a dream...but that you already know! And then you go

and ghar-basao in Mercur-I..which is apt given your strong marketing prowess.. You put this ka that which is uska wo for this to work..or something to that effect was it? Stay this bubbly ladki..with that frame perched perfectly on your naak! And get me hyderabadi biryani and karachi biscuits ALWAYS! ...MONAMI BAGCHI

Girl, u Rock !! The first time I met you was during an interaction session and since then, I have appreciated you. You have an amazing personality and an awesome person you are ! Wishing you all the best in life..keep your awesum-ness intact ! ...SUSMITA DAS

My first interaction with a girl on this Planet-I has been you! It was about a bucket which you have just bought from pi-shop and I asked where was the Pi-shop...soon realised that you are a professional woman ...though i did bump into you sometimes but i was too afriad to speak to you most of the times...Hope to see you as head in a good company..GOOD LUCK!!!YOU ROCK!!!...EETI SANTOSH

KIRAN HNAN AKRIS RADH

Nice to have known you.. all the best @ pidilite.. hope to see u in pidilite a year down the line as well ;)...BHAMBHANI PAVAN RAJU

Kiran, the ultimate combo of a cool dude and logical thinker. Someone with whom I had turbulent times as well as some wild moments (;)), you were a person with a clear vision when it came to your work as a secy. To someone who was always ready to party, there’s only one thing I have to say to say to you - You rock, man and hope you continue to do so always :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

I guess the first person I contacted when i got an IIM Indore convert call was you. Apart form being popular among juniors, you have always been ready to help people when required and that’s the best part about you. I had a great time while working for Utsaha with you !

Enjoy \m/...AKHIL KRISHNAN SHOBA

You struck me as a snob at first man! :P The entire first year actually :P Good that I got a chance to revise that impression in second year... Seeing your deep interest in books and movies, I wish we had interacted a lot more! Anyways, better late than never :D Cheers and here’s to many a discussion more to come!...Avinash Chidambar

The confidence this guy has really rubs off on you. working with him over endless last minute assignments and the epic Pidilite live project made me realise how talented he really is. Always ready to lend a helping hand and one of the most knowledgable guys on campus Im sure hel go places. One of the few(very very few) people on campus whose CPs dint bore/irritate me. All the best man...Aaron DSouza

The sarcastic retard that he is, sometimes you are left guessing who the joke was on..:P A very confident guy with a positive outlook and uncanny ability to find humor in daily stuff, and even Professors are not spared from his wit (if you know what I mean..:P). You can interact with him on possibly everything under the sun and it’s always fun. Wish we had met earlier in college, nevertheless, stay in touch. ATB for life ahead, may you achieve some great successes in life....Vishal Vyas

Despite our differing football allegiances, I’ve enjoyed the banter during crunch games and reading your opinions and analyses on the websites in which you write. Keep going and don’t let the ‘corporate world’ stall your progress. On a different note, I think we share a lot of common interests which we couldn’t get to discuss in our time here. Cheers to you dude and all the very best. ...ADITYA BALARAMAN

Hey Kiran! I had a great time working with you on Wrigley’s and Pepsi projects :) You are one guy who perfectly fits the candidate with “diverse” background (tarots/posters in your room!) among otherwise generally monotonous b school junta :) Good luck!...ROHINI H

You are multi talented - tarot reading is one among your many skills, and also perhaps the biggest bibliophile I know, Needless to say, you have a great taste in music. I had a lot of fun working with you as a part of sponsorship team. I hope you maintain such a cool personality for times to come. Wish you all the very best!...RAJNI RANJAN

I will remember you as one person who has always helped me whenever i asked for it. You are extremely bright but a bit lazy at times. I remember how you were to organize the 2nd section party for us and then what happened :P..You have given some of the most memorable & entertaining CP’s over the last 2 years. I am glad to have known you. Always stay the same friendly and chill person you are. Stay in touch :)...AANCHAL GOYAL

Serious looking from the outside, but a guy with a hundred different ideas about anything and everything.Well read ( both himself and his blog)..... he has an awesomely decorated room, and a looooong list of books in his collection.Has a very good grasp of all things football, and most importantly, Manchester United!!.....Dude, you ROCK man! Keep having that â??No-fucks-were-given-that-dayâ?? attitude throughout!!..... Wishing you the best of what life has to offer!.....Hasta-La-Vista, baybey!!!!! :D ...VISHNU.V.A

First person I got in touch with before joining IIM-I. Thank you for all the help then, and later. Had an absolute blast working with you on Klueless. And also, A+ for your taste in books and movies. All the very best! :)...PRIYA RAMESH

You have been very helpful. Little introvert and reserved, but always approachable. He will always reply to you with a smile. Endearing persona and will solve your problems within seconds. May god bless you with all success ahead. and may u rise as the phoenix from the ashes. And its long time now change the name Kiran VR to Kiran Radhakrishnan, so that people get to know your original name. :-p stay in touch :)...BARLEEN KAUR

Kiran! To start with, heâ??s one of the most self-obsessed people Iâ??ve met at campus :P But then, if youâ??re that awesome, then narcissism is not a choice ainâ??t it? ;) We probably met during Klueless 7.5, but became good (read: better) friends while we teamed up for Adapt! And then what followed has been hell lot of fun and amazing moments. The Gordian Knot video we did and the epic Adapt entry was probably when it all started! We didnâ??t win (and frankly with those entries we didnâ??t even deserve to :P ), but what each of us gained was 2 good friends (Monami being the third one). And then winning P&G Dream team (the fuck-ups on stage lol) and the JBIMS Enterprise was something which I believe are one of the greatest moments I can remember at campus. Many a time Iâ??d be really mad at you guys during competitions with my typical â??Guys! This is really pissingâ?? :P, but then you were really patient and looking back I believe that also defines the awesome times we shared! We didnâ??t take to the next level in second year, but then working together was always great. And of course, the Klueless parties, whether it be with Appy & co during first year or amongst ourselves in second year, were always special and hell lot of fun. Also, the â??extended Medicaommâ?? POR bestowed upon me which made me omnipresent in all mediacomm meets & parties is a clear testimony of the amazing bond weâ??ve shared. And one thing about him is that nobody ever missed him (not even people on exchange), thanks to the intermittent and regular FB updates :P So Iâ??m pretty sure weâ??re not going to miss him after IIM I :D Appreciate your self-assured nature (y) True mediacommie! A fellow United fan! An awesome writer! And a great friend for life! Have fun dude :)...ISHAN BOSE

I first met Kiran during the infamous Bakra. I didnâ??t think much of the lurking-in-the-dark-stalkerish-creepy Mr. Radhakrishnan at all! And he was from the â??most lovedâ?? committee of them all to boot. No. At first sight, I did not like Kiran VR in fact I borderline despised â??His Dudenessâ??. Music, poems, memeâ??s, gossip, gossip, gossip and gossip later, I think it is safe to say I did a 180 on that feeling. Kiran is the goto-guy of all things stalking, gossip, memes, weird convoluted Klueless levels, whoâ??s dating who, wit and charm (I know this makes you sound not straight but I think itâ??s time you got out of the closet) B**** weâ??ve had some awesome times. Weâ??ve shared way too many laughs. And weâ??ve bitched about way too many people. Someday Karma is going to catch up to us. And Iâ??m pretty sure weâ??d laugh at that too. Iâ??ll even forgive you for not letting me keep Leon. I promise to keep you updated on all the happenings in college after you leave and maybe Iâ??ll even miss you (maybe. M.a.y.b.e.). I hope you have an awesome future ahead and I hope you DO NOT have letting go issues like some people we know.

Hereâ??s looking at you, kid. ...ADITI ROYAL REBELLO

Mr. Mediacom! Very active in campus PORs and competitions, and equally lazy in class. He often slept through many classes but always remembered the embarrassing CPs so that he could torment the speakers later :P. Modesty is not your forte. And neither is diplomacy. I remember this QT1 class where the prof was teaching something about correlation and you said that that was common knowledge :P. We have laughed so much about others that I am pretty sure that we will see each other in the future.

In hell. :P. Good luck till then. ...SHREYA TANDON

Hey Kiran, You are so knowledgeable.! Talking to you about books especially sports ones was fantastic. Also we shared common interest in quizzing. Remember how many times we tried to team up for a quiz and for one or the other reason never made it to the events. May be it was destiny. I think we talked the most in common rooms over football games. it was fun. I wish you talked (and knew :P) as much about cricket as well.

Stay in touch. All the best.!...SUMANTH J

Hey Kiran, I met you through Neha Bhomia and i remember having some issue regarding lan connection and she had given me your number saying give him a call and he will direct you to someone who can help resolve the issue.And hence i met this one gangly,amazingly confident and witty guy who became my go-to person throughout the 1st couple of weeks at planet I(remember how i pestered you for tips when i was in the running

for CR).then life got in the way and we lost touch but i will always look back on our brief association with fondness for you are a very special person destined for something great in life.Stay just the way you are coz god know IIMs need non-conformists.Take care and god bless.I will be seeing you around..till then it is goodbye!!!!...SHNEHA

Kiran.. I remember the CP’s u used to make in the class.. awesome ones..:P(sarcasm).. anyways, u r one of the most hardworking guys I have come across.. very much dedicated to ur work..u r a friendly guy whom one can count on when one needs help..very trustworthy..I wish u all the success in life and do keep in touch..Cheers !!...SOURABH BAGLA

One of the most interactive seniors on campus...it was fun knowing you...Hope you a have a great future ahead...All the best...:)...PAWNITA MALHOTRA The first thing that comes to mind is media comm secretary and the incessant facebooking, though its not half as interesting kiran could be :P I’ll always remember you for being the go-to-design man of the klueless team.I mean literally it used to be - make the levels and give them the kiran to design them.And you room with the posters and the music, always made for an awesome place to have klueless parties.A smart,practical guy with a real flair for anything online/digital.All the best and do keep in touch ! PS. I’m still trying to forget the song bose ,you and I made :)...HARSHVARDHAN V

The day I first met Kiran, he was wearing a Scholes jersey(Ishan had already briefed me that he was a true Red). For a person who can talk to you endlessly about Football, Kiran’s favourite trivia involves Pirlo and Park Ji Sung. As brothers of the Secret Society of Spammers(read Media Commers), he was the reason for my initiation to Alcove, a place beyond adjectives. The master of PJs, Kiran is also a terrific writer and a treasure trove of online gyan(and trolls). I wish you, the happy go lucky guy, the best of times ahead. Keep rolling and find some great food joints for the next time we meet :) ...APAL

Kiran and I got talking right at the end - just when we were about to pack up and leave. That’s the way the cookie crumbles, I guess. Kiran is your go to person if ever in need for that one book or movie or tv series to get through the general ennui. And, if the conversation ever turns to football, you should thank your Gods because you have then

stepped into the promised land where every football aficionado dreams of going to. I am going to hold you to a trek in the mountains soon! I wish you the best in life!...SYED ERAJ HASSAN

Heyy! I had real fun interacting with you during HOP. Had it not been for you or the ill fated incident of getting carried around on a mule...we would have had absolutely no fun to start off with in the first place :P All the very best in life :)...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

You were that sensible United fan that you’ll admit is so hard to find. The footie analyses you’ve published online are commendable, great work!

You’re a good conversationist, and I knew something was wrong when you didn’t talk much that night you drank at my room. That night ended with a colourful floor, if you remember :P All the best Kiran! I hope you intend to keep the articles coming. (PS: Do you have a reason figured out for mis-spelling atheist in your mail ID?)...BHARATH GANGADHARAN

Kiran, the Troll Guru and Mediacom secy of IIM Indore, to mention some of his accomplishments in his wide ranging repertoire. The guy has excellent writing skills and manages to retain his excellence across a wide variety of genres, be it sports writing or humorous one liners, not an easy thing to do at all. Kiran has always stayed in the limelight in the campus, with his incessant (and thoroughly enjoyable) facebook posts and his Klueless quasi-spamming :P. He is also a football super-fan and his passion for the game is perhaps only matched by my passion for tennis. Hope you continue to write and entertain even through your job life dude!...

MRIGANK GUTGUTIA

One of the most well read guys on campus who can instantly bring out the facts on almost any topic under the sun be it movies, TV series , books, sports(football in particular) and pretty much everything else..you are in quick need of a reference to something you want to remember or a movie review and all you have to do is ping Kiran..very creative and a great sense of humour..his writing is unparalleled...had great fun working with him.. one of the guys who I look up to and always wish I were as cool ;) Keep rocking \m/ Cheers :) ...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

The most famous guy among juniors and batch mates, the Mediacom secy and an uber cool dude. A sports fanatic and an awesome idea generator. Got to work with him officially in SAC EC and unofficially with a secret organization :P. This dude can come up with craziest ideas and

a very creative guy. Also a very good company, you can talk to him regarding anything under the sun and he is equally fluent in all the topics. A person with an awesome sense of humor. You will love his witty comments and sarcasms. And truly the face of our institute to the outside world. Wish you all the best for your future....SENAJIT CHAKI

A fellow Manchester United supporter. We have watched the club through the ups and downs of the last couple of years. An adept quizzer, always the first one to have an answer up on the quiz club page and never short of a witty retort to anything that is said. P.S. I will never forget the day you took off your shirt :P Cheers and all the best for life at Pidilite! ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Hi Kiran..it was great working with you..wl never forget ur “we party we party harder” :p..all the best.. :)...PALLAVI GUPTA

Kiran was one of my first friends in the campus. He is someone who can have a conversation about almost anything (one of the exceptions being cricket). You are one hell of a character, somewhat crazy (in a good way), very chilled out, and one can never get bored in your company. Stay in touch dude, and best of luck for your future....KUMUD TONDWAL One of the very first people I met on campus! (and I am glad it was so)I clearly remember your MediaCom presentation during our very first batch meet. An amazingly confident and witty guy who convinced people to join MediaCom in matter of minutes! :) Wishing you all the very best for your journey with Pidilite! Rock-it! :)...PIYUSHA DANI

I surprisingly have many vivid memories of you since day 1 on campus. Your networking skills were the talk of the campus in our first week here. I think you managed to talk to all 450 people and most seniors in just that much time. Your lack of modesty is something that caught me unawares in our early interactions but in retrospect I think it was justified because you really do know A LOT! Youâ??re one of the most well read people on campus, who can talk about absolutely anything under the sun. And I must admit that your self made claims about being so good that youâ??ll definitely make it into all the PORs that youâ??d applied to, definitely did push me to work harder on my submissions whenever we vied for the same PORs :P It was great working with you in Mediacom and during Dream Team. Keep up the enthu you have for all things you do. Keep writing (I think youâ??re

great at it). All the best for everything â?º...KAVYA AMARNATH

Can’t believe you would be leaving the campus in next few days..just want to hold the time for now.. :( Through you I got the first glimpse of the campus even before coming here. You were always there to support me.

Thanks for all the help. Will miss you a lot. Good luck with your journey ahead, I am sure you gonna rock. God bless you :) ...SHWETA GANDHI

Hi :-)You are the first person from IIM Indore whom I interacted with and it was through PagalGuy :-D One of the most popular seniors among our batch who has instant help to solve every problem. I remember troubling you so much in the initial days about every silly thing at Planet-I. Did not get chance to interact much or work with you but it was very nice knowing you :-) All the very best for your future and please do stay in touch :-) ...ANKITA

Kiran is one bright guy, who doesn’t need to put in effort to do anything.

He is extremely well read, he writes effortlessly, but awesomely, he studies for 20 mins for an ET exam and gets great marks! Perfect fit for MediaCom, I guess. Good to know you Kiran, and see you in Pidilite :)...Raoul Lopes

The mediaCom guy who helped juniors on PG ! salute for all of your efforts !! I know how hard it is to answer each and every query ! :D u are always fun to talk with..with a wicked sense of humour ( which is really rare @planet-I)... always loved that ! :D On a serious note got to know u through SACEC.. it was fun.. you are very sensible guy and always like your thought process :D aise hin rehna bhai !! Keep in touch ! ATB for future !!...KUMAR ABHISHEK

A fellow member of the Kult of Klueless \m/ Me and kiran are usually found sparring on our polar opposite views on football. (Forza Italia :P \m/) other than that we do get along well. You have an outstanding taste in music , books, shows and movies and its been great making ent references with you around. Not to mention a kickass room which is a great party scene thanks to the posters , bean bags , booze :P and the aformentioned music collection. A facebook whore like me , we are found lurking around in groups which we joined before meeting here and where we will continue to post even after this. All though i would hope our interaction doesnt remain virtual which am sure it wont because of the KULT. we will definitely make time for each other :)...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI

You were the first senior with whom I interacted on the facebook group and you have always been there ever since. You are undoubtedly the most approachable senior on campus. Interactions with you were always fun. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors :) Stay in touch.....VRITI SIDANA

Kiran, your knowledge on practically every topic under the sun has been always enriching.You are one perfect fit for Mediacomm cosidering your amazing spamming abilities. Your well-readedness is too popular among everyone and I can’t help but agree to it. It was great having you in Pidilite and hope we have great such moments in the years to come. All the best. Cheers...:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

You were the first person i heard of at IIM Indore and was really exited to work with you in utsaha. i came to know you much better during the work we did together in UTSAHA. you are really a cheerful person. i wish you all the best for your future en devours :). ...SHASHI KANT SHARMA

The interactions we’ve had so far have been quite serious - acads and Ahvan related.. so, in the hindsight I won’t call them “fun”, but they were “helpful” indeed. Pidilite might give us an opportunity to connect better. There’s a lot I can, and want to, learn from you.. May God grant all what you desire. Best wishes, until we meet next.....

GANGAR MITESH LAXMICHAND

Revered Kiran (always begin with the salutation, right? :P) You have been one of my closest friends on the campus. You have been a fantastic secy and an even more fantastic colleague and friend. Someday I wish I can have the same level of understanding that you exuberate. I have always admired you for your knowledge. You can talk about any topic under the sun and beyond. You have always been a fun person to hang out with be it the MC parties or our Himalayan adventures (or misadventures). There are countless memories (from bhojpuri dumbcharades and MC bakar sessions to the sitcom tympass) that have become the beacon of my Planet-I journey. I am sure I would hear about your independent venture in the near future (remember the stipulates to five years from now). Wish you a great career ahead. Hasta la vista, baby! Yours Sarcastically :P...ANAND MALHOTRA

Kiran- One of the most famous guys on campus; you were always

someone whose social media posts did more talking than the actual you. :P You are an excellent writer and your knowledge about a lot of random stuff is truly incredible, I remember us participating in the Ahvan Quiz together and all the weird questions to which you had answers. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with you as a part of the Utsaha team and hope that you continue to work that hard in the future as well. Hope you achieve great heights in life. Cheers! ...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

KIran! The name that scares me whenever I upload a new picture on facebook! Gosh such high expectations you have na! :P For what I know , you are a very lively person, who enjoys life and enjoys taking peoples case :P Hope you;ll always keep liking my pictures on fb. I’m always here for fun converstaions. and yes the journalist look suits you :) wish you success in life :)...PALAK MAHANOT

I had connected with Kiran on FB (obv mediacomm secy n all :P) before joining IIM Indore as we were both Man Utd fans and I had read a few articles published by him. Part of the epic K8 team and I was glad Kiran was a part of our group as he complemented us by his knowledge of books, music, movies and not-to-forget his photoshop prowess. Imagining now, if not for Kiran, our levels would have been done on paint :P His room was the home for all Klueless parties and was an excellent host with the ambience and music :) Kiran is easily one of the most well-read people on campus, especially football related. His football articles are so awesomely written and has extensive analysis to back it up. A treat to read such stuff and would love to see more articles from you :) Stay in touch and let the KULT live on forever :) ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

Kiran VR - Mr.Media com.. The Germinator! Been guiding juniors like us even before we got into IIM Indore.. And then when we came to the campus, the guiding light for poor souls like us who were the victims of the age old tradition of Bakra! Kiran is better known as the “Playboy of IIM Indore” - for obvious reasons!! :D He is a very passionate person and that is evident in his deep love for Manchester United or the exquisite articles he writes about various topics under the sun! All the best for your future bro! Keep in touch! :)...PADWAL AMIT MOHAN

â??Kiran VRâ??â?¦ in the run up to my arrival on Planet I, this was a name that was synonymous to IIM Indore as far as I was concerned. The guy who had been incessantly answering all the queries on the official call getters and converts page, a one man Media and PR machine! Hats offâ?¦

!! I never imagined that I would get the opportunity to be a part of the committee he was heading on campus. Working with you was indeed a memorable experience for me. You are knowledgeable in absolutely anything and everything!! An â??awesomeâ?? secy..( read: awesomeâ?¦as you would say :P ), who gave complete freedom to all of us in junior media com. It was always fun with you, be it the meetings turned to bakar or the umpteen parties we had!! You served as a great rolemodel for me in terms of the dedication you always displayed in the committee’s activities. It was truly a great learning experience observing you go about things and I hope to do justice to the faith you have put in me, as part of the senior team in the coming year. As a person, Kiran was one of the most cool, laidback and chilled out guys on campus, always tension free, expounding the virtues of making the most of Planet I life, always willing to lend a hand or share a word or two of advice. You have played a major role in my year at IIM Indore. Wish you all the best for your future. Planet I will certainly miss you !!...MAJUMDAR ARCHITA

Hey Kiran it was nice time interacting with you. You were the first senior on the campus whom i interacted with for some Bakra task :P you have been really helpful . Keep rocking.. stay blessed :)...BHUVNEET K. RAHEJA

This guy could easily classify as the face of IIM Indore (read MediaCom Secy) to the outside world. An avid reader, writer/blogger and a football fan, you could almost always feel his presence on the ‘social’ media :p I got to know him much better in the second year as a team mate in Utsaha and as a participant in Ashwamedha. This guy is much more than what meets the eye. His unassuming personality, a balanced perspective and a praiseworthy taste in movies, music and books are things I admire about him. It was great having you around.

All the best and keep in touch!!...VATSAL KOOLWAL

He is very good orator with fine sense of humour... Did a wonderfull job as a mediacom secy.... He loves to write, and comes up with wonder full ideas.... I still remember the SAC-EC meetings when he wont let go even a minor issue without discussing.. And yeah not to mention this yearbook idea is too good... Ofcourse you will definitely do good in life but still best of luck for your venture :)...SUMIT VERMA

Kiran....a guy who simple knows everything but never shows off...the

guy with the best humor sense on campus.,..it was so good working with u...and i love the posters in ur room...b careful...might nick it sometime ;) i have always enjoyed ur company...a very sincere anh hard working guy who ceases to have fun at any situation...very very sensible and always puts good CPs...have a rocking future ahead...ATB...cheers...PREETHI S

I tend not to be fond of larger than life personalities, something that you indubitably were when all of us stepped foot on Planet-I (though you bore no resemblance to Germinator’s profile picture). Hence unlike most members of PGP-1 we probably interacted very little in the initial few days.

Plus you seemed like you had your hands full with the 460 odd others who joined with me. Over the course the year though I’ve come to discover (often on social media) that we share a lot of similar interests, from movies, TV shows, memes, cats(?) and football to most importantly night mess Chilly chicken. So similar that I’ll probably end up carrying forward your shtick of roaming the night mess or roads solo with a cup of tea (sans beardness). More importantly I think youâ??ve shown me that itâ??s perfectly fine to be like that. Probably the greatest compliment I could offer you is that youâ??re one of the few objective Man United fans Iâ??ve ever met. Wow, never thought Iâ??d type those words. Had a great time of course working on K9, the night you came up with the eventual finale level in the space of an hour, where you went all Dominick Cobb style â??We need to go deeperâ??, adding layers upon layers, had me looking at my own levels like a blonde dad looking at his bastard ginger son (unless of course he grew up to become Scholes). So to summarize.. in the format of Captain.Leader.Legend Iâ??ll go with Media machine. Machiavellian.

Moyesi..(ok probably not that one) This might be better Such spam Very social media Is it stalk? So calvin Much sarcasm wow...AMIT SUNIL

There aren’t too many people on campus who I would bow down to when it comes to writing but over the course of this night and after reading and listening to you on multiple occasions I guess you emerge as a true winner.. Somehow, in everything from a guest lecture to an Institute related discussion, I have always found you standing somewhere in the background observing! Maybe its just your reporter skills but it was fun to know that someone was as excited about new and innovative ideas as I was! Even more most of the times.. Though our interests never matched ( you and football while I was with F1) but we still manage to interact quite a bit... I’ll just say keep reading.. Its something you use just too brilliantly...

Till we meet next time, see you.. PS: I need a few more hours to write these testimonials! Get one last extension....ADITYA AGARWAL

Kiran, the media guy of our section.. Modesty doesnt cum to him easilly and he would always try to make fun of others..:P.. But above I think he is an extremely talented nulti-tasker in d campus.. Wishing u a very successful and famous professional lyf.. Stay in touch..:) :) :)...

SHETTI SRIDEVI ASHOK

Kiran, Iâ??m so glad we are part of Klueless! Somehow K brought together this amazing bunch of people, who it would be otherwise difficult to getâ?¦and we all just kind of gelled in a manner which is so difficult to explain. Itâ??s been amazing working with you and knowing you! Your amazing soundtrack collection and choice in music made our parties rock! Kiran, you are so generous and this is something which is very special about you. You always offered your room for our parties â?? so nobody ever had to ask whr is K partyâ?¦we always know! Thank you for putting up with my crazy drunk self and meeting my demands for Whi**ey! ;) Through K, I also, got to know about some other sides of yours â?? you write wonderfully and Iâ??m sure, your writing will bring you accolades! Kiran â?? we must have more crazy parties, even when weâ??re old and bald! And the onus is one you, coz the party will always be in your room! :P...RICHA PODDAR

The official PR person of IIMI!! :P I remember knowing you from your posts on Pagalguy.. It was great working with you.. All the best @ Pidilite.. :)...PRIYADARSHINI MULLICK

Kiran was probably more confident than anyone else on campus that I would get a PPO.. so i think it’s finally time to thank him :-P.. well, clearly one of the smartest guys I know, Kiran is someone who comes across as really mature and strong-headed.. :-) just a few interactions with him and u know that he’ll be a great manager (maybe poiitician too :-P).. it’s been great to know you and i hope we’ll always be in touch.. wish you good luck for all your future endeavours! keep smiling and stay blessed :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

“Is there anyone in the audience who does not know me?” This is what my very first memory of you is. True to that, I don’t think there is anyone on the campus who does not know you. :) You have been a good friend and a great guide. For everything from POR’s to placements to professor reviews - you have been one go-to point for all information.

It was nice to know you. Hope to see you again. :) I wish you all the very best for the times ahead. May your swords stay sharp and shields

strong! :)...NAMRATA LOHAT

Kiran Vrrr...he is one of the smartest guys on campus. A walking encyclopedia, his knowledge about sports (especially football) is unparalleled.

He is notorious for his media comm spams, smart ass updates in fb and his long CPs. It had been a pleasure working with him for Klueless...his creativity knows no bounds and he has consistently come up with exceptional levels for Klueless. His greatest talent however lies in creative writing...there were times when I just couldn’t believe that he was the author of those beautiful pieces of work. His blogs, his stories, his articles...u can see a real genius behind it...all the best dude...signing off...keep in touch......LIVI T KOSHY Extremely well read & knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. Have enjoyed your company throughout the 2 years at Campus..from Alcove to HOP...You have an eclectic sense of humor & a flair for writing..Wishing you all the very best in your life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Hey, Its like I have been following you for the last one year!! mediacom... pidilite....secy..and now I wish-PPO!! and yes people to call me the next Kiran VR..:) The last one year has been great with you! I find you one of the best all-rounders of our campus, highly diligent and committed. Keep up the spirit and you would surely reach great heights. And yes- cheers to mediacom..:) ...MOHIT SAHNI

Kiran VR â?? A man of great taste. Whether it be his word selection or the exquisite collection of brilliant posters in his room or some of the most kickass t shirts that he wears (special mention of the GoT one). An extremely active guy on campus and very hardworking too. Also, loved the passion with which you used to introduce your committee and your teams to the junior batch. Wish you all the best for each of your endeavours and initiatives! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

It was really nice to have been associated with you...Media com was know more by Kiran V R than its own name and u seemd to be a one man army of media com... All the best and good luck :-) ...Aditya Kharbade

Very first friend on campus and a very dear friend at that...Kiran is a contradiction of sorts. Sometimes so quiet when he is around new people, he will erupt into life when he has people he loves to talk to...and then there is no stopping this train! Met you for the first time during Mediacom campaigns but I think we connected the most during our Summer

placements. The parties that followed formed the perfect catalyst for a special friendship! It was always great having ‘deep conversations’ about people, life, marketing...over that steaming cuppa! It is very very easy talking to you! Thanks for making it that way. Over this year I have seen you add several feathers to your cap...The pidilite PPO, the Mediacom Secy...The umpteen competitions you aced (Speed ppt making.. thank you very much!) Thanks to you I now possess and increased gyaan about what Youtube videos to avoid (or make others see)...what books to read next..and what songs to queue on my playlist! Thanks for being an amazing person! You will go places in life!...MONAMI BAGCHI

Kiran, it was really great seeing the work you put in this year on all things Mediacom. I admire your wonderful writing skills,frank opinions and artwork in your room. I am sure the entire college knows that for any current topic, you have the perfect meme. :) Good luck with career and life ahead. Keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

One of the smartest guys I’ve come across on campus, he is ready with an opinion for anything and everything under the sun :) I’ve been enlightened with a lot of interesting facts thanks to the FB posts that you make regularly :) Making you the Media Com secy is the best decision that could’ve been made, and you’ve lived up to the name pretty well. Thank you for so faithfully attending every Harmon-I show, it always felt nice to know that someone was always there to support us :) Wish you all the success and happiness for the future. Take care and stay in touch!...ZONOBIA SAFAR

I came to know you well only in second year. You are one of the most versatile persons here, with deep interest in music, writing, books, movies, sports and what not! Yours is the best room I have seen, decorated tastefully with all those posters and kept neat and clean all the time. And I really like your social media posts with all those witty quotes, one liners, puns, sarcasm and humor. And the presentation you gave during SAC committee recruitment meet - I will never forget that. It was awesome. I really wish we had worked together more often and had known each other better. But that’s okay. Life is long and the world is small :) All the best for all your future endeavors. ...ALOK GANESH HEGDE

YADE A T J I SHIT

K

Kshitij gives a new dimension to words like free-riding, overacting,laziness and mastikhori. Since the first time I met him I haven’t seen him worry about anything or at least about anything important.

At times when he does try to be serious and participate in class, the entire class ends up laughing and cheering. Such is the charm of this person. He has the capability to bring smiles to people’s face wherever he goes. He’s a chalta-firta version of imdb; has something to say about each and every actor in the movie. A 2 hr movie doesn’t end even in 4 hrs given his constant bakar. He’s always the life of a party. God knows how many things he has made people try that they wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Starting from the dance in section wars to the study sessions, late night visits to night mess, fights over washing kettle and making maggi and the student exchange, nothing would have been so much fun had it not been for you. You have been my best friend for the last two years and I wish it would stay the same even after we graduate from here. I am not sure how I am going to manage my work life if you aren’t around to calm me down when I am super stressed. Though you have somehow managed to dodge all assignments during MBA, now you have the job of your dreams. So I am sure you will excel in your career. Here is wishing you lots of luck for your future To my best friend... Cheers :)...HIMAKSHI GUPTA

Intern of the Year. Banana Shake. Delhi time was one that was well spent. House searching, site visits, weird places to eat and the Paranthawala outside the office, we have shared some great memories in the burning heat of Delhi. Now that you are getting into the field of your choice, I am looking forward to see you reach Iconic Heights.

Have a successful career. ...Rishabh Trivedi

To some persons knowing them for a long time doesn’t matter ..as u become best friends in little time as u have known them for years and you are one of them..Had awesome booze fun with u on exchange... U r a friend that is frank about what he thinks and one can rely on for anything.. keep enjoying and have great life ahead and excel in ur dream role in ur job ......RAHUL KUMAR CHOUDHRY

This guy is a gem. He will always greet you with smile. You can always find warmth of friendship. He is a awesome singer ( I heard him sing in night few times). He plays good cricket too. He is bold in putting his opinion in front of others. He posses good leadership skills. As a neighbour you can always rely on him. Be it iron box, glue, mobile charger etc he will help you full on����.. I wish him all the best for future ����..

May be built his real estate empire soon â?¦. Amen ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

Bhai ka Bhai!!! what to write about you? you are just awesome.. you have been there with me always.. you are a great motivator,. the most energetic yet the laziest person. jitni masti hum logo ne kari hai i dont think yaha kisi ne bhi kari hogi.. har sadi se sadi baat jo kisi ko samajh bhi nahi aat iuspe 15 minute tak haste rehna.. 1st year m har week PD jana.. saari buri aadatein hume ek saath lagi h.. hum bachpan se saath m enjoy karte aaye h.. aur kisne socha tha ki IIM Indore m bhi saath rahenge.. life would have been completely different agar tu yaha nahi hota.. unfortunately i am not drunk warna ye page chhota pad jata.... aur we are brothers we will be meeting each other many times after leaving the campus.. no matter how busy our lives will be aagey bhi hum aise hi masti karte rahenge... i wish you all the happiness in the world. Bhai ka Bhai!!! Machaate Rehna Hamesha !!! :) ...ANISH RAMTEKE

Kshitij is a very chilled out guy..He is the cool dude types..We got to work in the same group in Term 1. All I remember is, when you ask him to do an assignment, he would say- “ Yaar Mujhko kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha!”. He would also get his individual assignments arranged from outside. However, he is very clean at heart. Cheerful and bindaas, he is good at dancing and would fill the environment full of energy during any section party. Wish you all the best. Keep in touch :)...PARAG PODDAR

Tayade!!! Mast bandha hai tu... I remember using your room ka door to party all the time...you were ever ready to have fun and to laugh! You are one easy going person who is very caring about his friends...tu kabhi

I admire your selflessness in always helping everybody out... they just need to ask for help and you will go out of your way to do it.... the sweetest thing about you is you never stop smiling and laughing and doing masti...did u ever use those weights lying around in your room? :P I am so happy you got your dream job and am sure waha tu zarror fulll kaam karega!!

Kumara is perhaps the most well-connected guy on campus. Always easy-going, though somehow, with each day as Infra-Com secy, he has perhaps lost 10-15 of his hair to the point of getting bald finally.

Internet was all f****d up through his tenure is another matter, but he did remarkably well in his role, in fact among the few secys who were actually approachable and have worked.:) Looks like the guy who doesn’t give a $#!t about studies and career, but very hard-working and sincere.

“Bhai are you ready to invest some money in a business bhai?.....ek saal mein double karke de dunga bhai”.....the guy is a budding business tycoon! ;) He is “THE” go-to person for all types of needs on campus ( I mean all types ;) ) Always helpful, chilled out dude who loves to have fun.He has an uncanny ability to connect with people on Facebook, and perhaps will soon have a world record for most friends made via FB.Loves to discuss matters happening on campus ( and chicks too).....

In every college, in every batch, there is one guy who is undisputedly the most popular and most liked guy-and at Planet-I, it’s this guy-KUMARA.....

Very friendly and chillax guy. Smart, intelligent and most importantly street smart. His street smartness is one character I wish I had.... Bhai tu business karle, ye TCS ki job loan chukake chhod diyo...U r best for business, you have a business acumen most of us do not even possess....

Wish you all the best for life.... Patna/Jamshedpur aaye to milna zarur.... :D ...SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

One great thing I saw in you is passion to work. The skill set you have is very rare. Your convincing power is unmatchable. I have learnt a lot from you and cherished a lot of moments with you!! You were not just a Secy for me in campus but alike elder brother. Wish you all the success in life !!

Be in touch :)...KUMAR VIKASH

Truly speaking, I expect you to get the maximum number of testimonials in the campus. You are a dude, Man! (Well, we may have to tweak the meaning of Dude a bit ;) ). Among some of the guys I have seen here

who have justified their PORs truly. Always down to earth yet smart and fun to be with. You are brave in your own sense and I wish you remain the same in your future endeavors. Wish you all the best....

Kumara, Infracom, sasti, etc is what he is fondly called. He was a part of my 1st assignment group and it has been great knowing him. He is one of the most cool-headed and hardworking persons on campus.

Approach him for anything and he’ll definitely help you out, either himself or through his contacts. He is one of the most sociable guys on campus. Wishing you all the very best for your future endeavours. ...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

Kumara!!! First interaction dates back to T-nite wen I would go everyday to his room to fetch his speakers n he would generously giv dem, even if I disturbed him in hs sleep.. I salute the patience n tolerance level that u possess.. N surely no one, n I mean it, no one other than u could have handled the post of infracom secy the way u did.. incessant abuses were hurled on u, got cursed even wen u had no role to play (load-shedding, independence day mess food, unavailability of hot water in bathroom for an hr etc etcâ?¦), shouted upon by umpteen no. of ppl but never did I see u lose ur temper.. A totally bindaas funloving and friendly guy wid an amazing attitude.. Apart frm section also interacted wid u during mridang (junior ops team) and was again flattered by ur MANAGING capabilities ;) surely u r destined to have a great future ahead.. ...KRIT DOSHI

Kumara! It wouldn’t be wrong to state that you are the miracle man of Planet I! You can get anything done, anything fixed, at the unearthliest of hours, that too, single-handedly and without complaining! You are the most hard working person i’ve ever seen. You are extremely intelligent, sociable and talented; yet, so down-to-earth and humble! You never refuse to help, nor do you get angry over the incessant cribbing and complaints! Kudos to your people-handling and management skills! To add finally, you are a gem of a person and a genuine friend.. with a compassionate heart...something that i got to know about you at Nitie. Wishing you all the success in life, that you so rightly deserve :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

The man who runs Planet I...without you the planet would have stalled.

Your phone calls kept the showers and taps running, your password

enabled poor souls to use Youtube and your infinite patience has absorbed everybody’s rant when things went wrong for no mistake of yours.

I knew more about you through Mridang and I was truly impressed at your capacity to work, to take initiative and to face pressure with a cool demeanour. It was fun working with you...Hats off to you...u did a great job...All the best!!...LIVI T KOSHY

Sasti..tu nahi hota toh na Mridang chalta na IIM Indore. Bhai..i cant think of a better person when it comes to man management and operational skills.

I have called you innumerable times for all kinds of stupid favors - tune ek baar na nahi bola! I know for sure wherever you go you will make a mark :D tu STUD hai bhai :) ...Abhish Nair

Ganje!!! I have never seen a man who loves his baldness so much. ...ASHISH KALYA

Kumara.. U r no doubt one of the most hardworking guys in our campus.. full of energy and life.. The way u handled ops in Mridang was outstanding..we all used to bug u with stuff in the last moment and u never said no or panicked..u always got things done.. Of course, ur air india flight journeys are memorable too.. wish u all the best for ur future.. Cheers !!...

Tere 500 tabhi wapis karungi jab tu mere 1500 wapis karega!! Apart from that, you are really a fun,helping and carefree person. Tere jaane ke bad kisko ping karke help mangungi..:( Tu to itna understanding hai ki ping karte hi samjh jata hai ki mujhe teri zaroorat hai :P :P BTW, I will really miss you here kumara. We really had a great time together yar!! Thanks for being so nice and helpful..Stay in touch always :) :)...payal anand

A friend in need is a friend indeed! u’re one such wonderful person I’ve met in this institute...the go-to-guy for almost all crucial work at Planet-I and the way u handle certain sensitive matters is quite enviable! I always liked ur team management skills and most importantly ur dedication towards fulfilling ur responsibilities r truly unmatchable! You’re a fun loving person, a very chilled out guy! Cheers to all the laughter we shared during pre- and post-meeting sessions with juniors, personal interviews, ‘Pls do the needful - jokes’, it was a pleasure working with u, bhai...I wish u all the very best for ur entrepreneurial pursuits..I’m sure that ur hardworking abilities and the sincere efforts u put in will help u become a successful entrepreneur...Stay in touch! ...HARISH SARVA

True king of Bakar at section C.... /\ yes we share our avid admiration to travellers and a zeal to travel too.... wishing both of us get to do that quite often and may be together too at times.... :) :) No doubt the most jugaadu guy on campus :) All the best for the life ahead bro....stay in touch :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Kumara, he is certainly the OPERATIONS guy on campus. May it be fests or events, he is always ready for managing them all- and yes, he pulls off a great show. Apart from this, he entertains people on FB too! :P..And is always the 1st one to like all the status, pics and other stuff posted on FB.. Jokes apart, he is very hardworking, devoted and sincere, and deserves all the success in life. Wish you all the best.

Keep in touch :)...PARAG PODDAR

Bhai tu gajab hai! Itna chill rehne ke baad bhi tu itna enthu kaise dikhata hai?! :P But it was an amazing journey with you...HOP, PD, RD, etc... and even before that (kyunki apna naata toh Planet-I aane se pehle ka hai :P)...But tu gajab banda hai bhai...definitely one of the most popular guys on campus...keep it up man (I know you will)...and stay in touch! :)...JAYANT ANKUR KUJUR

Sasti bhai, the only guy in infracom who’s seen running around talking over phone and solving people’s problems. The most talented Jugaadu in the campus. I respect this guy for his capability to manage things to utmost perfection. I won’t forget the night after the DJ party, when we lost 20000 bucks just to find out that we already paid it to the DJ. Our bakars on whatsapp chat groups during long drawn placement sessions were ultimate. A very calm and composed guy who can easily challenge me in knowing people from the batch. A leader in a true sense and a very hardworking and passionate guy. Wish you all the best for future!!...SENAJIT CHAKI

Abhishek - There a was period when all we used to say to each other was me “Abhishek” and “Sanjay”. Later did it with our last names! Every chat I ever had with him was interesting. For me he is the No.1 Jugaad aadmi.

He’ll get you anything, just give him time. Thanks a lot for all the trouble with my net issues man. See you soon. Luv :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

JAJOO

Jajoo- You were the first close friend I had on campus. You are also one of the most intelligent and brilliant guys I came across on campus.

And you are still so young! :P Jokes apart, but that was the thing which always stood out about you- As to how you could party the entire night and yet seamlessly score such good marks. You shared my love for Hindi movies and songs, and I could always rely on you to come to watch even the most crass Hindi movies in the theater with me. You were always there in the first year to go out with me when I used to be low and we’ve had some pretty memorable drunken parties :) You should not have gone on foreign exchange, it was more fun here :P Anyway, you have always been a very close friend and you will always be like that. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Youngest of the lot. We sat next to each other for an entire year and were the reasons for many professorsâ?? agony and frustration:-P. They say with age comes maturity; but you seem to have defied this thumb rule given that you are very matured and sensible. But yes, this age thing reflects in his capacity of drinking certain fluids:-P. Jadoo, you are one the smartest people I have met on the campus and I will always admire you for what you have achieved at such young age. All the best and keep in touch!...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL

Kushal should have been more like a younger brother to me than a friend if you consider his age, but his maturity levels meant that I always treated him as an equal. Having so many common interests meant we were part of almost every group including our internship stay which was memorable in more ways than one. I could go on mentioning things like Football@I Block, watching EPL, you buying unlim-

ited Pringles, our beach house at Alvares, Simply Delicious, Section C seating, DB prep, FIFA in PS3, my Silver Jubilee celebrations:D, RIP and other trips etc and the list would go on. We did miss you during term 5, but we still had several great moments throughout the last couple of years and I am pretty sure we can add on to it in the future. And ya, be ready to read my roommate agreement draft :D ...Deepak Talluri

the wonder boy, the wiz kid!! Period....! :P...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Kushal, you were one of my first friends on campus. I remember congratulating you on getting selected to play for college football team (but you know what happened next :D ). Being in same section we got to interact a lot over first year and well football connected us over the course of second year :). I think you are one of those guys who can snatch victory from any position be it academics or sports. It was surprising to see youngest guy in batch be so mature.:) Just keep up the good work. All the best.!!...

SUMANTH J

Jajoooooo!!! So where do i start? You were my very first friend in Sec C, and my partner-in-crime in annoying all the Profs throughout the year!

Remember playing Xn0s and our pen fights-once when my pen landed at your dear Haria’s feet :P Remember each and every Prof calling out our names while we discussed..er..many things? The camaraderie between Gholu, Lele, Bala, you and me with our back-bench jokes..throwing bits of paper on startled Tushar & confused Deepak..ostracizing Vishal from our notorious row, while the rest of the class wondered what’s happening! Of course, the bakar at your room, parties spiraling in & out of control :P, with all of us singing ‘Jajoo ki Jawani’ in chorus...I can go on & on...You are a gem of a person..extremely mature for your age. Brilliant and handsome, accounting whiz and football champ..you are a wonderful company. Add to that, your compassionate nature, ability to understand & empathize with others...Thanks for being such a great friend and confidante. Always keep smiling..a promising future awaits you :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Jajoo - Apan dono ne itni cheeze ek saath ki hai,both desi n videsi that I have literally lost count.. I still remember all the negotiations in Paras’s room before exchange colleges were alloted so that we could go together :P Europe wouldnâ??t have been half as much fun without you (my propensity to get lost and wander off not withstanding :D). From RIP to plagiarising at a global level (remember Elise & Aymeric the next day :D)and placing bets on random matches in the Polish league at that Turkish guy

downstairs , its been one helluva ride. U can be very dedicated if u put your mind to it and give credibility to my theory that brilliance and hard work me itna bhi jyada correlation nahi hai ;-) Lotsa similarities and common interests which is prolly why we connected so well.. All the best for your future (Not that youd need it - formality hai likhna padega :P Stay in touch :) PS: Agree with anshu - wapas ek baar chorus me ‘Jajoo ki Jawani’ banta hai :D...CHAITANYA YESHWANT LELE

I did not know much about Jajoo before going for exchange except the fact that he was the one of the youngest in the batch! :D Extremely cool guy, a bit lazy and ardent Arsenal fan! :) I always looked forward to Vienna trips!! You always got angry when someone told bad about Nigeria or Nigerians! :D :P Your achievements ( at such a young age) speak volumes of the talent you have! Always felt I should have met you earlier in PGP1 !! :) Still remember when we discussed about placements in Vienna (hope those talks were fruitful)! You are one person whom I have met who cross checks everything what someone says that you do not know! :P Then again your knowledge of Hindi movies and music is known blew me off! All the best for a great career in finance !! Cheers :)...RAHUL YADAV

A bright young batchmate from SRCC, it was great to know you and have you as a friend ! It was almost as if you resided in I Block :) Thanks to you, whenever occasionally I listen to Kaho Na Pyaar Hein...I keep the volume as low as possible - Kahin Jajoo na sun le :P I wish you all the very best for the future ! We are keeping touch no doubt !! :) :) ...AYUSH AGARWAL

You are such a young achiever. I have never seen you missing any party here, yet you have performed so well academically and otherwise. I respect you for the way you manage so many different things so well. Your modesty has always impressed me at many occasions.

You are surprisingly mature for a person your age, and also have the drive to excel at anything you desire. Wishing for a lot of fun and loads of good things ahead! :)...RAJNI RANJAN

Generally, i find it very difficult to talk to seniors but with you i faced no such problem. You were very helpful to me whenever i had a problem and i know that in the future also you will remain the same. Best of luck for your glorious future ahead :) ...ROHAN GOEL

I was as surprised as he was!! To discover at IIM indore that we hadnt met in srcc for three years. Over these two years we have surely made up for the lost three years and developed a strong friendship. You see the foundation is as strong as it can get!! THE ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB :)...PRANAY TODI

The youngest of the lot, still so phodu! Intelligent and smart. You are one person who knows how to balance the immature part perfectly with the mature part. I am sure you will go a long way, you have that passion and ability. And yes, I would always remember your dance steps, thanx for teaching me :P All the best for future...make it big :)...SONICA GUPTA

Kushall.. I think I am the only one who calls you that in campus.. See how different I am like I always tell you and you must believe it by now :P You are someone who knows every bit of me..understands me so well despite me saying everytime “understanding hi nahi hai :P” and cares for me..the most loving friend I have. But the thing I feel happier about is that I know you more than anyone else does.. the real you..more fun and less sophisticated you! Though we have more time to spend together in future but I will always miss the time we have spent in campus.. we started to know each other chatting on fb/gtalk (both asking for campus gossips) and then we became such great friends.. I will always cherish these lovely moments.. going for walks around the campus, hanging out together, playing ruzzle and then I always wonder how can you play better than me everytime I think I have played the best game :P, TT games, seeing you play FIFA (you might think that I hate FIFA, and it’s kind off true and you know why :P, but I love to see you play so passionately and perhaps I have started liking and knowing football better now :P)..I can’t stop writing but have to! You are really genius, perfect at whatever you do, dedicated and so knowledgable (I will one day make you proud by showing off my GK :P) Yes you are truely lazy..boring at times :P but you have changed.. You had to..afterall company matters :P Formality k liye..

Good luck for future..But I will always be there to wish you luck each day :D...SONAKSHI SAINI

Difficult to write when so many memories are flooding my mind, I donâ??t even know how to start. I canâ??t remember our first interaction and all but you have been a very close friend since first month of college. I hardly remember any trips I made where you were not there (exempt 5th term ofcourse :p). We have lot of shared interests â?? football, I block football, ps3, partying, laziness, nite mess and what not. We have played together,

worked together in awesome assignments (show me the money :D), partied together, hung together on/off campus. You have been the heart of our group and section. I didnâ??t know what to do for the entire semester when you were gone but somehow time flew by. I will fondly remember competitions we took part in especially Maverick- when everyone was shocked as to how us :p and also Mumbai trip (atleast the bandstand part :p). I-block is a very crucial part of our lives when my room was like a den where pseudo â??I blockâ?? people flocked around entire day ;), the matches we played and broke deepakâ??s glasses so many times :D. Have to admit you also play decent I block football and yeah I should say it that you are good in fifa also :p. I donâ??t understand why people call us free riders when we used to work hard for each and every assignment ;). Now coming to serious discussions: I donâ??t think even 10 years down the line arsenal will win quadruple :p but I know it feels good to hope :D. Looking forward to all the trips which we will take together in future and yeah best of luck with your roommate agreement ;). Have a great life after college and keep on enjoying and smiling forever....Tushar Gupta

A guy “at peace”, smart, helpful and pretty humble. Lived in same block for two years and then same section. Our interactions were intermittent but they were of good quality whenever they were. I recollect turning to you for solving my Accounting queries in first term. I hope we will remain in touch and wish you good luck....ARCHIT JAIN

Jajoo.. i hardly knew you before we met at the Mumbai Airport for our flight to Vienna. The first thing I would like to do is thank you for all the help and the much needed support you offered during the tough times at the exchange programme. Dude.. I sincerely appreciative your down-to-earth nature. I had an excellent time with you in all our tours. I wish I had known you much before Vienna happened. Travel shack visits, the not-so-good times at the end of our wanderlust, the Punsch, Diwan cheap food and ‘our’ Barbora from bratislava ( the connect of common preferences when it came to chicks)â?¦ I am going to remember them all. I was so fucking happy for you when you got through DB (if you remember I met you just before my stan C interview). An honest and a genuine person like you deserves everything in life. I wish you all the best for the good times ahead. Do keep in touch.. baaki apni apni “shradha” hai :D Cheers bro :) ...RAHUL NAGDEV

Jajoo, as we fondly call him, was one of the fin-experts of section C.

We all used to approach him before any Accounts quiz asking him to explain us concepts. Not to forget, that he was the pet of prof Hari Prasad, which is an achievement in itself. Though, he is the youngest in our batch, he is quiet mature for his age. He mostly wears a serious look, but has a cute smile. We have spent some really amazing times together - be it during the Udaipur trip or our random dinner outings or even late night dance parties at his room. He is a smart, intelligent, yet a humble human being.

It was nice knowing you. All the best for all your future endeavours....

BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

A good lad, an ardent Arsenal supporter, and a smooth football player (Gooner mould I’d say!)..that is what comes to mind with Jajoo. Had some fun experiences with you on exchange. Always found you friendly and fun to hang around with (except maybe when you beat me at that FIFA tourney! :P) I’m sure we will be in touch post MBA. Have a great life ahead.

Adios! :)...ADHIT S. SHETTY We’ve been together for the most exciting term of IIM Indore - Exchange in Vienna. And hence multiple random adventures across Europe. He’s been quite a sport with similar interests ;) I hope we travel together again around the world. Godspeed!...AGARWAL ROHAN RAJENDRA

Kushal! :D From SRCC to IIM, our journey has been more or less similar, but I have always considered you far more intelligent and deserving than me. I think thodi baatein SRCC ke time reh gai thi and that why we both came here. Im happy for your achievements here and im sure you have an amazing career ahead. We’ll keep meeting like this future me bhi im sure :D I cherish moments spent with you...Keep rocking :D...PALAK MAHANOT

Then of course, HOP where I ran into your shadow self who never used to give up and was always ready for an adventure. I will miss all of it.

OSHY K T I V LI

Livi is one of the funniest guys around. Mr. Klueless hides a lot of talent behind that unassuming stance. Had a lot of fun making those levels and partying hard. Probably the person who epitomises the values of Klueless - Work from 4 to 10 am, work smart, party hard :D Was one of the best teams I’ve worked in, and a lot of it is down to you. We’re gonna have a lot more of the same in the future. I know we’ve got a long way to go....KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Livi. Our Klueless Secy. One of those guys who brought some element of normalcy in an otherwise crazy and eccentric bunch. Though he had arguably the best level amongst all of us during the K7.5 preprocess, he was essentially the most humble of the bunch, at times to the extent of seeming under-confident. Was quite apprehensive of being the Secy initially, until some of us pushed him for it and he eventually changed his mind. Also, his jokes are often the funniest! The parties, fun times and level making sessions (even though I would not be a regular campaigner in those) :P were awesome and I seriously appreciate you for being the down-to-earth and mature individual you are.

Have fun and keep in touch :)...ISHAN BOSE

Well, got to know you through Mridang... you are one of those guys who is always ready to help....always ready to party... one of those guys who can drink every night ! you are always chilled out and have never seen you tensed... be the way u are bro ! ...KUMAR ABHISHEK

Livi nallavan nalla meeshyullavan.....nalla snehamullavan, kayyil paisayullavan! :D A strong guy, both mentally and alcoholically :P .He is THE dude when it comes to the notion of “Work hard party hard”.....a

sweet guy, with a lot of hidden talents.Always keeps his door open for friends, and a romantic at heart.I surely believe that this guy will one days, become one super-kidilam CEO of some MNC!...I will forever remember our many drunken nights spent listening to various “Party anthems” and making fun of people in the process.Aliya, I am gonna miss you a lot!.....I hope all your dreams come true, wishing you the best of what life has to offer!.....snehathode, njan...oppu!! :)...VISHNU.V.A

Livi is a great guy to hang around with...whether it be for drinking sessions(what we called klueless parties :P) or just to randomly chat over snacks or dinner.The entire team that worked together for klueless was awesome and amidst completely crazy people there was livi who knew klueless as a participant too and brought some level of sanity to it which helped him lead the team for K9 too. Couldn’t be part of K9 but i’m sure it would’ve been wonderful.Keep i ntouch and all the best !...HARSHVARDHAN V

Your cool,calm and mature demeanor certainly made my life at campus much easier.A big thank you for all the guidance starting from those days before even joining IIM-I .Moreover all the time spend with you- be it watching movies, working on Klueless levels, playing badminton, chitchatting shall be cherished. Wishing you all the very best for the future :) ...SACHIN SURESH O

Peace and Livi. As good as synonyms are the aforesaid words. There is an amazing calm around someone who keeps churning out great puzzles for Klueless, makes considerable effort at the shop. Your driving skills are commendable. Admired your determination and dedication during the

tough phase towards the end of the programme. I am pleased to see you getting the responsibilities that can challenge you and keep you on your toes; else you can get all lazy and doze off real quick. Wishing you the very best!...Rishabh Trivedi

Livi, It has been an absolute joy working for Klueless under your leadership. Always humble selfless, calm and composed you will be missed in K10. Not to mention all the comedy and magic tricks! I still haven’t figured out how you did it :O Best of luck and we’ll be sure to keep in touch!...AMIT SUNIL

Livi! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you for Klueless (with the magic tricks and all :P). Really appreciate your upbeat attitude and helpful nature. Best of luck for everything, and do keep in touch! :)...

PRIYA RAMESH

Livichayan.. Witty,cheerful and very intelligent.. A magician(fake :p) who has a huge fan base following.. I am actually Klueless about what nice thing I can write about you ï?? Jokes apart, You are a really good friend and one of the lifelines of the mallu group.. Someone who brings cheer and excitement to a group with his jokes(sometimes substandardï?? ) .. I knw that you have a different kind of impression about me and I wouldnâ??t take any conscious attempt to change that ï??

Hopefully we will have a nice time in Indore and some crazy moments in the future.. Wishing you all the very best in your personal and professional life... You know what I mean ï??...RIZWAN MOHAMMED P A

Koshy has been with me through 4 years of NITC and now 2 years here, and my impression has not changed one bit. He’s just so incredibly smart, whether it was at Engineering or Business, both being two completely different domains. He comes across as a shy, soft-spoken guy, but we all know how to fix that by now. He is a very positive presence, and is extremely committed and sincere. He’s a friend to treasure, and an asset to any company that can get him....BHARATH GANGADHARAN

You are an absolute sweetheart and nothing less. Seriously, I am so glad that I was part of K8!! Livi, you made the most brilliant of levels and brought the most interesting concepts on the table. As a person you are kind and thoughtful and that comes across to everyone who know you.

We must must always stay in touch! ...RICHA PODDAR

Koshichaayan... the most jolly,happy and cool person(also the first one) I met at IIM campus.... One person with whom you can keep on talking without getting bored.. Who was always approachable for advice or suggestions.. Great dancer(that window washer step, no one can do better than you!).. Gonna miss you achaya.. Stay happy.. All the best,, God bless :)...NIKHIL T. JOY

Dear Mr. Klueless, thank you being such an entertainer. Your kuthara card tricks and awesome smile has got a reserved spot in our minds. Jokes apart, you have been such an accommodating senior, helping us getting adjusted to the life here. Our stay here was this memorable only because we had people like you in it. Even though you will be in Indore itself most probably in the immediate future, you will be missed in out daily lives. Pls be in touch and rent out a good house in Indore for weekend parties with us. Her’s wishing you all the very best in life. Keep making people happy with your stupid smile :)....NIRMAL M S

Koshichayoooo...aka..koshman.....buddy it was fun this last one year here with you and the rest of the gang....be it your card tricks(the secrets of which you havent shown me yet..:D) or the valipps it was always cool

hanging out with you....But no reasons to be sad....you will be here only and we will continue the blast in yours and rizs apartment.....SO no farewells...Just the see you Soon....:D...VIJAY GEORGE

Ha Livi, I met the cute(:P) moustached guy with his parents on the first week of college..V became friends very easily coz u r such a person..1st year was a lot of fun the highlight of which was the Mandu trip...V spend much more time together in the 2nd year with night mess and card games..,U r a very intelligent guy with strong logical sense and an entertainer to the core...Awesome card tricks...awesomer dance move :D.Ur disarming smile will always be ur best asset..Keep smiling that mega watt smile and visit Ludhiana now and then :)...LAKSHMI R

Thanks for all the help Livi.. I remember running to your place even during the monsoons to ask for help with my resume :) I wish you all the best for the future.. Enjoy :)...ANKIT HAMIRWASIA

This is probably one of the toughest testimonials that I have had to write 창?? for all through the important, enjoyable moments in my IIM Indore life, Livi has been there. Everyone else has already written about your awesome personality, the great guy that you are 창?? there is basically nothing left to add :). I will just say cheers to some of the most memorable memories that I will remember 창?? starting from the pre process tasks for pi shop, the campaigning on election day, the bulk deals & nightmare accounting at pi shop, the innumerable visits to nafees and mallu mess, the card games in nishad창??s room during first year, the onam festivities, RIP trip to gwalior, the chambhal joke we played on ashwin, the operations case study in campus, HOP memories, the treat you gave us at chamba for a special reason :P, getting caught by railway police on the way to Delhi, the attempts to smuggle bottles through delhi metro, the mafia mandu trip, badminton in E block, cricket in F block, table tennis in first year, 28 & 29, the combined studies before midterms and end terms, the endless chats about placements, gossips and relationships :P, mod-ding the k9 blogs, the jokes on nishad, the countless registrations to so many competition , the zero submissions to all those registrations, the BIDM project, strategizing the subject bid attempts which you never got right :P, the parties at your room ,the placement parties at RD/PD, the poker we played, the business plans we co-created with anoop (tenga :D), the list is long and endless :). Thank you for being there through the two awesome years. I wish you a wonderful life and a great career ahead

DEE DIVYA

You are a brilliant girl . It is my pleasure to have known you and worked with you :)...DEBJANI DEY

You have been my sidey in the real sense.. letting me knock on your door for borrowing everything ranging from water to a comb :p Your initial impression was that of a very sincere and a very focused girl .

But over the last 2 years I have seen the other side of you..wherein you are totallllly lazy, you fool around and love troubling people around you and yes you can free ride too :p . The amount you can sleep and the amount you talk on the phone totally amazes me. You always remind me of that Jab we Met dialogue - saab se poochon phone bill kitna aata hai :p Seriously! any exam I come to your room you wake up from your sleep to open the door. When do you study and how do you score so much?.. always a mystery! The best part about you is the effort you put in just to make your friends happy (I can’t forget all the planning and running around you do even for a simple cake cutting :D). It is wonderful to have you as a friend but equally horrifying to be seated next to you in class :P If there is just one row the prof is paying attention to it totally has to be where Divya is sitting. Its actually fun threatening you to not speak in class. Give that perpetually risen hand some rest at times ;) Jokes apart, you have been a great friend from the start and I am so glad you are placed in Mumbai. I can finally rectify all that went wrong during internship :D ...SONIKA KHURANA

Somehow the first thing I can remember to say about you, akka, is that you’re studious! :P :) Hey but that does not come w/o ur share of fun! (Read nerd fun :P) Jokes apart, you’re really sweet and that thing in that ear which u wear while ur on the phone!!? Gosh it freaks me

out, kinda feels like you alone fulfill the true purpose of its invention! :P Akka, you’re really tall and you have a way of commanding respect by the mere virtue of being you! Being senti doesn’t strike a chord with you, so I’m being as objective as I’m capable of! Still can’t believe you function with just a single brain! :P And I still vividly remember the doggy ka story you know! And that you hate sitcoms where there is recorded laughter in between! I did like housing your bamboo when u were away on ur vacations! And I would like to say, well, I am honored to be your friend!

Folks, Deeps is as kickass, and cool as she may not appear to be! Believe me, you just need an eye for it! I’m gona miss bumping into you around the campus and your crystal clear objectivity! Still feel you’d have been great at robotics, for how analytic I find you to be!! :) :) Cheers darling!

And yeah, this testimony is meant to make you smile! And so take it, not just objectively but as what you’ve been to me! A person of amazement, delight and wonder to me!!...Nivetha

DD...I dunno if its d short form of “doubt devi” or “divya deepthi”. :P The first time I saw you was in the first â??case studyâ?? class we had during our induction prog (You made quite some CP!!). Until first term I just knew that you make good CPs, but later, by I got to know u betterâ?¦Shared some really unique experiences with you...MercurI event. And then, we went to RIP together. Your company just made my experience of the RIP more enjoyable :) In third term, we went to LIBA’s competition and yes, we missed a flight while waiting in the boarding area for hours! :D I still dunno how we managed to pull that off...Later, Our internships kept us busy and except for my visit to your house, we did not really talk much.

But then, during my internship,you gave the best surprise on my bday !! and you dint stop with that. You being someone who loves planning surprises for others, you simply made my IIM Indore life complete by throwing my birthday itself as a surprise this year! Thanks divi :) Ok, getting back to chronological flow...In second year, we got much closer. Foundation day presentation, group assignments, etc was unforgettable...And memories from second year are too close to heart to be articulated here.

I will miss the chats we had in your room for hours together...Whenever I faced an internal conflict, you helped me get clarity. U truly helped me become a better person, by the advices you gave me. I feel lucky and super glad that we become close pals :) I hope our friendship continues the same way, in future. I know we will more than just stay in touch. Yet, I will miss your company. Take care, DD :)...V. DARSHANA

Divya is the “brain”! Insightful CPs, great work ethic, this girl has a lot of

sincerity in what she does. Have had some baker sessions with you in Nainital, and enjoyed every bit of it. Even though you are so smart, you listen to other people’s opinion. You take initiative and are a true leader. Wish you the best!...SHREYA TANDON

When I first met you, I saw a go-getter, serious, “I have a mission in life” kind of person. But, to my surprise, when I got to know you better, I discovered you were so much fun to hang out with... always pulling someone’s leg or narrating some funny incident at BITS.. You a great host, (Snacks - check, movies - check, clean room - check!! Not something you would find in most rooms) , Dr. Dembani for those who are too lazy to go all the way to the medical centre ( You have medicines for every ailment discovered till date :P) .You are one of the most thoughtful people I’ve known. And you’ve always been there for people you care about. Most importantly, you are one hell of an event planner!! :) I see your face light up at the mention of a birthday. I was never really a ‘surprise planning’ person.. but in the last 2 years with you, I’ve come to love it... You are thorough in everything you take up.

That’s one quality I truly admire in you. You are a great friend to have.

Will miss having you around! ...S KANCHANA

I have looked upto you in two ways since I have come to IIM Indore : a) Figuratively because of a list of reasons long enough not to fit in here and b) Literally, you sat a level higher to me right behind me in the class after all! :P ! People do not know the other side of the Divya Deepthi coin Divya, the side that goes out on treats, that watches movies and that gets T-shirts painted and signed for people. Perhaps it’s a choice you’ve made. But you’re exceptionally, exceptionally talented and one of the few people on campus who I think deserves more than IIM Indore. The world is waiting for you to unleash yourself, the 2 sides of you at that. Stay in touch and have a great life ahead! ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

I met Divya for SP Jain Interview and the we end up at IIM Indore in same section in same row. She has been known as the CP Queen of our class. Haha. It was fun that even you were confused between fin and marketing like me and I guess eventually we have settled in the respective fields.It was fun working for group assignments in term- 2 with you I have known that you are very hardworking and sincere and really do well in Life. All the very best!!...Variksh Thaker

Deepti, we haven’t really interacted outside of Management Canvas related work... But your drive to do things correctly, hardwork and commitment are exactly the kind of stuff I thought( and dreaded a little cuz of the relative grading!) I would see at a place like IIM. This work ethic would definitely take you places and I wish you all the best there! By the way, I was absolutely blown away by your signed t-shirt gesture, showed that you were also a person who treasured friendship :) I’m sure your friends who can count on you are really lucky that way! Cheers and all the best for your future!...Avinash Chidambar

Hey deepthi, it was nice working with you... all the best for the future :) ...BHAMBHANI PAVAN RAJU

Deepthi it was great working with u, :) Wish u the best for all ur future endeavours :)...ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

I opined that you are one among that serious geeky category!! You proved me wrong!! Though I got to have a very little interaction with you, I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that you are a fun loving person. It’s my pleasure to treasure the stories you told me for a life time. Especially, police and thief, Born genius. I feel so connected to you that I can knock at your door anytime asking just for a coffee. FLAMES - you reminded me of my childhood!! I always imagine a machine with infinite inputs - It’s not possible? No It is. Look at you in the class :P :P :P :P The way you go an extra mile just to bring a smile on your friends face and strengthen your bond is really amazing. You have become one of my close friends on campus in no time!! I hope this bonding stays forever.. Love you dear!! Wish you success!! ...Deepti Kalikivaya

Hi Divya, Until HOP, I thought this girl is about studies, studies and more studies. However, I was in for a pleasant surprise as you turned out to be quite a revelation . had a blast performing the role of flirty Vishal in the skit penned by you. Such cracker lines! That’s when I met the fun-loving person in you .An articulate and knowledgeable gal, wish you loads of success in life. Best Wishes, Sabornee...SABORNEE JANA

Hey Deepthi, It was a great working with you. You are a very hard working and down to earth person. Keep the good work going and all the best for your future endeavors! ...Shantanu Awandhe ...SHANTANU PRAMOD AWANDHE

It was so great working with you. You always gave so much space to our ideas and let us be on our own. One of the sweetest seniors I met in campus and wish would have been lucky enough to work with you in Management Canvas. All the very best for your future and please do stay in touch :-) Wish you a great life ahead :-)...ANKITA

Divya and her dedication go hand-in-hand. Came to know her most during our 2 year membership in Chain Reaction of Ahvan. Chain Reaction and we all were proud to have her as the coordiantor who managed to promote the event to a flagship status. Getting the highest exclusive sponsorship is not a joke.. And that will tell about her abilities.

A high-performer in academia that she is, she also maintained vital PoR-s like heading one event and one club at the same time. Amongst the sea of DCP-s, got to heard some good CP-s from her in the elective sessions. She also manages crises well as again I saw in Chain Reaction, be it formulating a case in 2 hours or communicating with people while in a stressed journey to take an important exam. Best of luck and keep in touch! :-)...DEBAYAN BISWAS

Aha! Miss Quirks! She is one of those kickass girls who can beat anyone hands down in any argument. It generally takes three to corner her. Smart, beautiful, kind and a girl who holds values in high regard.

Daddyâ??s doting daughter, who drinks pepsi everyday! There are so many things I know about you, and I am not sure whether I should quote them in this in public. I really would not want to be your next target! People know her as the one who is very dedicated, and is generally the no nonsense type before an exam. But she would go out of her way to help someone out in times of need. A simple girl, who loves munching on chips. Divya, it has been wonderful to be your neighbor for the past two years! Wish you all the best in life! ...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

Divya has been my neighbor these 2 years , but strangely we never got close as the normal neighbors should get :P :P May be you were too studious and nerdish that you scared me away :D :P intelligent, smart, lives-by-principle kind of person, simple, methodical and introvert are all that can sum your characteristics as understood by me :) I always wondered y did u pay up the mess fees, coz i have only seen you hog aerated drinks and junk more than I spotted you at the mess :P One person who is extremely talented and no one can mess with .. I strongly believe you ll go great places with your talent and wit, please

stay in touch and wish you all luck !...SUHASINI G K

For the past two years you have been my greatest support system on campus and there is no second opinion about it . I still remember how much i hated when seating chart was first put up and u appeared to be my sidie ... the greatest CP maker in the class ,,appeared to me a boring and serious kind of a person ,but then in your own words” i got to know u better” . You have always been there for me be it during my final placements , or HOP where i fell ill , u stood by my side always . I think i had so much to write about the time we spent together that i will surely will never be able to put it all down here , our never ending bakar sessions, watching animated movies together ,cooking food ,HOP part, class wali masti , there is just too much to write . You don’t know how much i am gonna miss you , be it u saying finish kar every time we had something ,or be it ur typical way of ordering food, or u trying to avoid watching movies with sad endings , i am gonna miss all of it . Now talking about u , u r one person who will go to any extent to do things for people u really care for , often misunderstood but does it really matter , a person with a strong set of values , always like munching chips in particular, one of the best CP makers any class would ever have , sincere ,hardworking , funny with your own set of PJs :P, and the best part ability to listen to others , one can say u are a complete package in yourself . Be yourself always and I am sure others will be able to see what I have found in you a true friend I would never wanna lose .Surely we r going to stay in touch . Thanks for being always there when I needed you .Wish you all the best for the future :)...AMRITA PRASAD

Brilliant, super intelligent & articulate! Though it’s still a suspense who is on the other side of your constant telephone conversations :P Come to your room, and one always finds a stack of munchies & chocolates which you are ever ready to share. Love your long black hair & your sense of humor..keep smiling always :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

DD as your friends call you, the embodiment of Chandler Bing among the people I know. It is so amusing to see how you bring in humour into every situation and totally change the mood of the discussion. One cannot keep a straight face whenever you pass on a snide remark. But this is only one side of you. When you crack whip, I could see a brilliant strategist in action who doesnâ??t waver from the course of action and who does not balk at the prospect of a difficult task ahead. You make sure that any work means results and I absolutely love your dedication. You always

have well structured way of planning things. You have a very helping hand and are very reliable. We have had our brief stints together with Deepti filled with fun and laughter. Do stay in touch and all the best for your future.....ANUSHA BEESETTI

Divya deepthi you are synonymous with the bluetooth headset..I have never really seen you without it or in fact talkin g on it...u look quite the corporate honcho roaming around with it...a very sweet girl and real hardworking...I dunno how but u gave CP even in QMR and paid attention to detail...that takes something....you are very sweet and nice to talk to ... m sure you will do great wherever you go in life...all the best girl! :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

She is a very hard working person. She inspires people around her to put their best. She is a very soft spoken person. And fun to work with. Thanks for making Bazinga a success.... All the best for future ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

You are an extremely talented, razor-sharp, dedicated individual! A constant inspiration for people to work hard to develop oneself. You have set new standards of excellence in class and outside. Really a pleasure to know you! ATB for life....MONAMI BAGCHI

HOW B K A IN

MA

Moinauk â?? the hardcore bong of J Block. Mainak I first met you at J-Block.....you were my immediate neighbour....wait thatâ??s not true...u started friendship much earlier by sending FB requests to all IIM I people...:P. We have been very good friends since then. You have distinct personal identity.....sleeping in class or drinking more than anybody could... you would beat anyone...:P. Jokes apart you are really intelligent person and a cool friend to have. I wish you all the very best for all your future endeavours...Keep in touch !!!...ANIKET YEVALKAR

Moinak da!! The Sleeping Beauty of Section E!! I’ll always remember the number of times I had to wake you up only for you to go back to sleep!! One incident I distinctly remember is when we had to write a summary in an assignment submission, during Saraswati Puja. You weren’t supposed to write, so you just scribbled something and yet were the topper in that assignment!! Truly an intelligent person, but one who would always end up sleeping in all classes, wish you all the very best for your future!!...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

One of the few diseases that truly does not have a cure is procrastination and this held true until I got this fellow as a POC for the summer placement resume preparation process. Reminder 1, 2,3 and it kept going and not just for me but a bunch of other juniors. I often had half a mind to junk some of his mails back then :) but thank fully did not. Times changed and I now see him as a mentor and good friend.

Mainak takes that extra effort to help people make things happen and I am sure that this will take him to great heights in life! All the best man!! ...VINAYAK S

I am quite sure Mainak saw Shole in his childhood and took the line ‘Beta so jaa, nahi to Gabbar aa jayega’ quite seriously :P. As rightly pointed out, Mainak was the sleeping beauty of Section E, I started getting to know him only after we got in Media Com and it was indeed a fun filed journey. His histrionics (read kissing guys) after media com parties are a tale not to be elucidated, nor are his fancies for swimming pool dives (our 3rd Section party). Kuch bhi keh lo, Mainak brings energy and excitement whenever he’s not sleeping. A greatly intellectual soul, I was amazed at how easily he cracked CAT in our first year while being all hush hush about it. Beating him up on his birthday(khopche me le jaa kar) was truly a fun exercise. I wish you the very best in future and sincerely hope to stay a safe distance away from u :P ...APAL

Mainak was, as with many, one of my first acquaintances at IIM Indore, thanks to Facebook! Starting right from then, you need any information --- contact him. Then I came to know him being an unknown junior at my high school and college, whom I first met here. Though a bit restless at times, he is quite sharp and hard-working. Even after making it to IIM Indore, he never grew complacent and has continued his streak of achievements. Keep up this quality of yours and success will keep finding you....

DEBAYAN BISWAS

Mainak... u lazy Media com person... you made me realize how Gates wanted people to innovate at the last moment... it was really inspiring to work with you (only for others.. :P).. leave Facebook for Rohit & Kiran and focus on the Finance role for now.. teri to lagne wali hai kaam mein... jugaad ab nai chalenge.. :P :P ...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

1 person entire 2014 and 2015 batch knows. We share the same Alma Mater (South Point, JU and IIMI). This guy is definitely a genius as he performs at each and every stage. He carries with himself an aura of weirdness and carefree attitude which he is proud of. Famous for episodes which best left unmentioned here. But this guy can be a great friend, doesn’t feel offended because of a little leg-pulling. I wish you all the best for the future and continue your history of funny episodes.....Rajarshi Biswas

So I met drunken Mainak the other night. And that’s the day I found the normal person in him. He may strike a little odd in the beginning, but he can be an amazing friend over time. I will truly miss all your gyaan about girls besides your serious friendly gestures. And yes. You shall be missed during the night mess hours. Wish you a great success ahead!! ...SUB-

HADEEP DAS

I still remember the day I meet Mainak. He has been allotted my mentor for resume iterations. Soon he became very good friend of mine.

Whenever I needed someone, he was always there for me. He has always been very humble, polite and a friend whom you can always rely upon. He is that type of person who will always take out time for you despite of how busy he might be. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors and see you reaching top corporate ladders. ...SHUBHAM AGARWAL

We go way back......and by way back I mean waaaaaaaay back!!!!

Nursery 1, now that was some real while ago. Its very difficult to compare the school Mainak, with the B-school Mainak. While one was fanatic about marks and being first in class, the latter was extremely chilled out and hardly bothered about grades. We shared write a number of good memories but here in IIM I, I’ll miss those sessions we had discussing about *ahem* , giving u advises and ur insider information about planet-I . To be honest, It was quite reassuring to me when I found out that you were there in IIM I, and thanks for all your help during the entire time. I wish you all the best for your life, and hope u’ll land up with an extremely hot wife, coz dat matters to you more than money or fame. ;-) We will keep in touch!!!!!!...SANKHA BHATTACHARYA

I started interacting with Mainak babu (as I’d like to call him) through Facebook. After my Indore call conversion, Mainak was like my first and almost single point of contact till the point I reached campus and met other seniors. Very good-natured and witty, it always felt good interacting with Mainak. Whenever I needed any help or advice, he would make out some time for me and feed my proper information and guidance. In fact now that he will be leaving campus soon on completion of his course, I sometimes wonder who’ll answer my small small doubts and cribs... I wish Mainak babu all the best for his new journey after IIM Indore! We’ll surely keep in touch going forward......NILANJAN GANESH MOHAN

One of the first people to meet from IIM Indore of our batch. Remember you had pinged me on FB when you were working in PwC. Initially used to call you Mainak da. But gradually the “da” disappeared as we I started gaining more proximity to you as a friend. Had the good for-

tune of being in the same section as you. You might have slept through in the classes but you were one of the most intelligent guys around on campus. Catching up on our college days has always been one of the high points of our conversations. Your antiques in our third section party shall always be something that would have me in splits when I recollect them. Wish you all the best for the futire. have an immensely successful career :) :) Stay in touch....SAYAN BAGCHI

Probably the first IIM I guy I talked to, even before coming to campus. I was relieved when you were in my BAKRA group, coz at that time you were the guy I knew. Great to have a friend like you... Certainly one of the most famous guy on Campus. Hardly saw you when you were in our assignment group in second term though :P But times spent with you were always fun(except when you slept in the middle of our conversation). MAy you have a great career ahead, Kep in touch...SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

Mainak!!! An interesting character to meet... a peculiar one among the bongs... I still remember the chaos that you created when we were in J block..... It was absolute fun and it was an absolute fun to have known you.... would take back fond memories... Cheers Buddy!!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Mainak, the J-Block Johny :), Nice down to earth guy (can be short tempered at times :p). The person I would always go to in case of any information I needed when Section E had a lecture before Section F :p & he would patiently answer all of them!!. Also did I forget to mention the drinking escapades :p at J-block involving you ;). A nice guy, Wishing you all the very best for future :-) ...PANKAJ DHINGRA

Dude, I can’t even count how many times I’ve wanted to kick your ass! :D Don’t blame me, I know you’ll be the first person to agree that you’ve given me enough reason to :P You’re one crazy bugger...Especially when drunk! Add ‘Beyoda’ (to one of your nicknames man! (yeah I don’t know care if I got the spelling wrong) Despite all that everyone (myself included :P) has to say, you’re a survivor man. Don’t stay the same! (The only one I’ll say this to) But yeah stay the same in ways that matter... Cheers and all the best!...Avinash Chidambar

Mainak and I have been friends ever since the first “Johnny party” on campus.....he’s a guy who does not care whether you are Mr.X or Y.....friend of all, especially when he has downed a couple of pegs of whisky (in that

case, he affectionately chases guys and tries to kiss them :P)....anyways, he is the dude, who even after being in IIM-I, wrote CAT once again, cleared it and had IIM-A call...._/\_ One of those “Bong-Bros” (no offense,pal! :) )...who loves food...and likes to hang around with friends... :) Wishing you all the success in life bro, keep in touch!...

VISHNU.V.A

Mainak ~ a prankster who would put buckets of water from top floor on everyone standing down during birthday celebrations at J-block....a fun-loving n entertaining guy.....Famous for getting caught sleeping during lectures :P No doubt, you are sharp and intelligent and will definitely make it big in life... I wish you all the very best for your career....

Do keep in touch.... :) Cheers!!! ...KARAN RATHOD

You were a great support as a senior and a friend even before I landed here....I remember disturbing you for all random big and small queries :P I always liked the way you would take out time from your busy schedule and extend your help...even if it was regarding some preprocess...Thanks a lot for helping me out whenever I needed...I would always look forward to seek your advice....(whether you like it or not :P)...wish you all the very best for a great future....Please keep in Touch and keep smiling :) :)...HARSHDEEP KAUR

Moi-nauk is the life of any party... and more. The quintessential funloving, foodie bong with an opinion on everything. One of the few people on campus who don’t mind telling you exactly what they feel.

Was quite an experience working with you. From the initial days, I was quite intrigued by your attitude. A lot of arguments, a lot of times working together, brainstorming, parties, and a lot of patience later, I think you’re one of the nicest people I’ve known here. Duniya jaaye bhaad mein, you keep up your Devil-may-care attitude. I’m sure we’ll bump into each other someday soon. Keep rocking!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Mainak, You were responsible for giving me the job of keeping u awake in the first year â?¦although I must admit that I failed miserably at that!! We had some excellent time as neighbors (when u were not sleeping that is!!). A complete jugaadu ( though some may disagree) â?¦ u always excelled in finding the easiest ways to get things done!!.

Quite a cheerful guy (still remember you running behind people with water buckets around the J block during Bâ??day nights!!!)â?¦.All the

best and stay in touch :) ...TEJAS RAMESH LAKHE

Nak ASA “Chumban queen”, lover of bubbly and a lot names, that i cant disclose. Never a team player.....his achievements will prove it.... Always disturbed by his neighbours....and the sleeping beauty of the class....

Come exam time, “ami tomar room e aschi...” and then he will sleep on the floor of my room....He is hard-working talented guy...wish him best of luck for the future......HEMANTA PRAMANICK

I will always remember him for the audacity he shows while rejecting an opportunity knowing fully well that he deserves something better. I hope the job u’ve cracked will live up to ur expectations. I also like in a bittersweet fashion, the way in which you criticize something...straightforward and full of rebukes :) Though I have heard a lot about ur sleeping prowess, I unfortunately haven’t been a witness to it. I know u have the mettle to MAKE IT LARGE...now go have a drink....SUMIT KUMAR PRAMANIK

Moinak..my batch mate...first friend of Planet-I. Was the single point for sharing information regarding admissions, reaching campus etc. Have been great friends since them . He mus have really enjoyed life over here. The numerous ‘incidents’ of Moinak, bear testimony to this fact. The sleeping beauty of SeC E as he is called...really requires amazing talent to sleep continuously in all classes irrespective of the timing. I still remember the eco prof saying “ I will give u negative CP if you sleep in class” :P All the very best in life :)...DIPAYAN KARMAKAR

My first recollection of you, one that Iâ??ll never forget, is that of you during and post the first Mediacom party! Until then, I always thought of you as this pensive and serious person who spoke only when spoken to. But after that one fateful night, I realized there is this whole different angle to who you are. Especially your love for dogs and men. ;) Drunk you is completely insane and super fun and I think you should be perpetually drunk :P I am also completely envious of how you speak your mind without a care in the world about what anyone might think. Itâ??s amazing how youâ??re committed to everything that you take up and it was awesome getting to know you. All the best for everything in life â?º...KAVYA AMARNATH

Mainak has always been of great help all along. His networking skills are one of a kind- characteristics of an ideal MediaCommer :) Glad to have met you during the initial few days at IIM Indore! Will always cherish our friendship! Wishing you all the very best!! :)...PIYUSHA DANI

Moinak- the dude of J block, the serial kisser :P. You were one of the most loved character of J block and shockingly for good reason. An amazing personality to hang around with who always loves to smile, the HOP was another side of you who lead us in our entire journey :P. Well the war room that did not happen will always be missed. Thanks for being a part of such a wonderful journey and will always hold a special place in memories. All the best and enjoy as you always do :)...

HARSH RAJ

I hardly knew you before I joined MediaCom. To me you were this typical Bong guy who was interested in Finance and who had done a stint with PWC (not to forget the A call). So I was expecting you to be a very “sanskaari” and studious nerd. But it just took me my first introductory MC session (and it was some session to say the least :P) to realize how wrong I had been all this while. You are an amazingly sharp, bright and fun loving person. You hide a mischievous and wacky kid under the thin veneer of your seemingly serene and sincere look. You have been the center of attraction of every Mediacom outing and photo shoot. I have had awesome fun with you during our parties and watsapp bakar. What many people don’t know is that you can be very emotional at times. I had some spectacularly fantabulous memories because of you. I shall always cherish our friendship. Keep spreading your joyous smile and happiness wherever you go :D CHEERS :D :D...ANAND MALHOTRA

The chirpy guy. A workaholic of sorts. Goes about doing things at his will. Loves sleeping in class. And yes, does not pick of humour on many occasions. But then, as an individual, he has a great work ethic, studies well and prepares well in advance for tasks at hand. Wishing you all the best in the years to come!...Rishabh Trivedi

bhai sorry for leaking that video of yours when you were dancing like crazy after your mediacom party !! but u are an amazing guy ..always fun to talk to .. jab bhi ghar se aata tha..kuch khane ko laata tha !! Jhonny hai bhai tu pura :D On a serious note you are an amazing friend !! aise hin rehna bhai !!...KUMAR ABHISHEK

Well, I’d most likely have to omit the best instances of my interactions with this guy, most of which happened during the summer internships in the interest of public survival ;) but I’ll add a few.... Mainak is one of the most daredevil dudes as proven by his ‘interest’ in a lady sitting

barely a translucent partition away from us in the office and his incessant ‘pinging’ of innocent HR managers. Also, we shared some real good times in a room in Ashwini Hotel, Mumbai (not those kind of good moments :O).... but you’ll know what I’m talking about ;) I became a fan of this gentleman post his recollection of a certain incident of him going ballistic with his spectacles, a caveat not easily replaceable by mere mortals. Keep up the good work and may women fall head over heels at the very mention of your name even without getting hit by specs ;)...DEBOPRIO DUTTA

Mainak, (pronounced moy-nok) Never got the pronunciation right till date, never mind. Met this bong guy in my bakra group, I still remember the first day you used to cram fin books and that you wanted to make it to an i-bank. A totally nice guy, but gets weird at times, and trust me you would want to stay away from him when he is inebriated. A bong in true sense :P, but yet been a great friend to talk to. Best wishes for a great future, do keep in touch!...S NITISH SIVARAMAKRISHNAN

Mainak..the guy who sleeps :) ..it’s common that you get a call from Mainak the night before exams wanting to study in your room, cribbing about his neighbors making noises. It’s even more common that he would come to your room and sleep in 5 minutes taking poses that even Ramdeb hasn’t ventured yet. And it’s a treat talking to a drunk Mainak, learning about his numerous crushes. But come placements or committee elections, you get a glimpse of the real hardworking determined Mainak. His acad records are proof enough of his intelligence. But, the determination he showed during finals preparing wholeheartedly for fin profiles is praiseworthy.

And who could forget the self-branding (Visiting every hostel room twice wearing a Purple T-Shirt and pitching “If you fail to remember my name, you’ll find me in this T-shirt!”) he did during mediacom elections! All these apart, he is a nice friend to interact with, a guy whose neurons are tuned to JU levels just like many of us. Wish you a healthy (awake) future ahead and we’ll surely keep in touch. :)...PRAMIT PAL

Moinak... a perfectly straight guy whose orientation changes as soon as he is drunk and goes on his kissing spree all across the hostel... intelligent guy but sometimes, well sometimes it doesnt matter...:P Have seen you always nibbling on your chicken in daddu’s room(bhukkar naam sahi hai...) A great knack for playing 29 and good logical mind with some eccentricities. ATB for you future and always keep in touch... :) ...MACHARLA MAYUR MANOHAR

the best thing i would remember you is for the fighting spirit that you have shown the day your room got flooded...man you went crazyy!! :P Keep that spirit up..we had some good times in PD when you dragged me out of my room :P and your drunken antics were a treat to watch :P wishing you all the success and happiness in life...cheers :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

A very carefree person. Famous for the antics he pulls of in parties.

Worked his ass hard off in mediacom which shows the degree of dedication he possess. Wish you all the success in life. :)...SUPRIYA THUKRAL

You were my mentor during preparation of summer placements intvw and it was nice interacting with you. You diligently worked for media com which shows your dedication and hard work.I remember you talking about a HCL ideation project, it was interesting to listen to your ideas.I wish you a successful life ahead . Cheers :)...ANKIT GOYAL

Mainak - My first conversation with this guy was before joining this place when we were trying to network before coming in here :P He always sticks with you. He’s there to look after you and takes great care of his friends. He always saw me as this wonderful friend of his, to which, I’m not sure I did justice to. We did spend some nice moments and I remember relying on him on many occasions. Someone you would want your friendship to last with. I vividly remember those discussions about us wanting to make it into the big 4. I’m sure we’ll make it bro. Hope I’ll see you there sometime soon. Luv :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Mainak - Met you for the first time in MDC on the first day... Since then we have had some amazing moments together.. Had the privilege of being a fellow Johnny.. Remember how in every birthday celebration you used to manage getting water poured on you :) .... You are an amazing guy and always fun to talk to... Keep rocking and stay in touch !...SAURISH SUHAS JAGDALE

U wear, speak and move like a bong.. a hardcore bong guy.. anyone can figure out that from one look .. . One of the most famous and talked about guy of mediacom among gals .. . Great spirit and attitude towards work .. . Always ready to learn and do things in better . ..

Always have been lucky to be at the receivig end of bday bashes of all Johnyns .. I still remember the story of your fight with mota.. that

is just unforgettable . .. Also known as “chumban man” the guy with the power of killing anyone with his chumban antiques. .. Keep rocking and enjoying life.. ATB mainaak .. Stay in touch!!...ASHWANI KANSAL

Mainak...One of my earliest friends of IIMI .... You are a very persistent person and hardworking person and at the same time you cry a lot about smaller things - be it having an intern at PwC , getting lower grades or now with your job at ICICI :P :P Your stories at section E parties are a real laughter medicine and even the J-block stunts which we saw and thankfully didn’t experienced ;) The best thing about you is you are very down to earth, straightforward and always ready to help. Wish you great success in life and crib a little less :P :P Wonderful things happen to you and will continue to do so and yes drink less :P...UDIT BOKARIA

Mainak, a very interesting fellow. I came to know him long before coming to IIM Indore, from the Kolkata informal meet. Then he eventually ended up in my section and then in my assignment group. A very sharp guy,a mediacomer and known for his post booze activities. One of the very few guys in campus who knows almost everybody from PGP1 and 2. A big node of the grapevine, if there is any gossip in campus, you know whom to go to for the full details :P. An awesome friend to be with. Wish you all the best for your future!...SENAJIT CHAKI

Mainak... the sleeper. How can a guy sleep everyday in half of the lectures and still get good grades?? i fail to understand that. As a fellow Johnny and a classmate ..I’ve seen him do a lot of stuff. Somehow liquid is always involved in his escapades..be it in the form of water (midnight birthdays) or its consumption as liq***(parties) which always ends him up drenched in a pool of water. A great guy at heart with a sharp mind and awesome networking skills..I wish you all the best for you career and life.. Cheers!...

Chitresh Singh

Mainak, I think you are the first senior I interacted with @ IIMI. Going back to bakra days, I was really intimidated by your list of Doâ??s and Dontâ??s :P :P Later over a couple of more conversations, I got to know you better..

It was nice knowing you.. I wish you a very successful career ahead!!...

PRIYADARSHINI MULLICK

This guy, sleeps through all the classes and yet scores above many and cracks CAT yet another time! The computational power of this guy is truly amazing! I wish you all the luck and happinness :)...VIDUSH ARYA

Hi Mainak, You were very helpful as my POC in resume iteration. Your tips on the whole summer internship phase, and the tips you gave to handle the pressure assisted me in holding my ground in the toughest of days. Wish you all the best for your future!...ANIMESH RAJ

Mr. Sleeper! I know how much of a hard time Bapat used to have to wake you up, but I doubt you were concerned. Yet, I must admit I am in complete awe of how you would study everything even though you always slept in the class. Some genius grasping power you have!

Sleep less and you would do even more wonders, I am sure. All the best dude for everything...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

I’ve always found you very different online and offline..look like an altogether different Mainak when speak withyou over chat..:P But, indeed you are rare combination of seriousness and sweetness..keep up this spirit and all the very best./Stay in touch..cheers to mediacom..:)...

MOHIT SAHNI

The high-spirited Bong! (If you know what I mean ;)) Mainak is a man with a focused and dedicated mindset. Very dedicated when it comes to plotting how to get his own birthday cake plastered on every Mediacom member’s face. Very focused when it comes to coordinating his body for the jhinchak dance moves... Nuff said :D. We have hit several rough patches along the way but that hasn’t deterred me in respecting your integrity and sincerity. It has been a memorable experience with you in Mediacom and Yes you were missed in a lot of parties. I think the sharing the same initials went a long way in creating good memories! You deserve great things in life and I know you can do them!

ATB for life!:) ...MONAMI BAGCHI

Heard about you before IIM-I through George (Upamanyu) and came to know you as the person who did certain things in J-block party (if you know what I mean :-P). Remember your facebook posts during Bakra (so enthusiastic about NPAD and all that :-P ). Had our share of fun in RIP. All the best for the future!! ...SWARNENDU SEN

Mainak ... my school junior... he is just one of his kind ... he literally bugged each and every senior even before landing at Planet-I. Extremely unpredictable a person...that CL party where he literally ran in front of a speeding taxi late at night after enjoying the booz party to the fullest...will simply roam around without caring about studies

and suddenly arrive at the last night before exam seeking help.. then surprisingly falling asleep there without studying at all...he will bug you for likes and +1s required for some Mediacom promotion ... to suddenly start fighting when pulled his leg over his recent crush...he has so many crush and would be gfs ... every other day he finds some other girl attractive...:P .. just pulling your leg.. he is extremely funny at times ... brilliant acads ... strong basics...always get the coveted shortlists and jobs easily ... talented as always he was ...take care ... bhalo thakis...Stay in touch...SANJIBAN DUTTA

:Angry young man” as I call him... he always lived true to this name I gave him..Right after getting a call from IIM Indore, when I asked him queries, he immediately scolded me to focus on my engg end semester exams.. !! However i troubled him a lot asking Indore related queries to summer placements. He has been strict, no doubt,,however he has been very encouraging and supportive in the times I have been very low. An extremely intelligent and crazzzzy person... it was fun working with you in media com..cheers... :D ...MAJUMDAR ARCHITA

The first time I saw Mainak, I asked myself “So is he the nerdy genius outlier or a norm at an IIM”. I still keep asking myself the same question though! I had heard about Mainak long before I met him from his school buddies who were my common friends. But what I heard was starkly different from what I saw. I expected a studious focused guy and found the exact opposite. But that is how he was at peace with the world and the world loved him for that. Wish I got to know you a little better (to appreciate your sarcasms a little more) but time was short. I guess now we have a lifetime to know each other better buddy! All the best for everything.... shine on you crazy diamond!! ...SAYAK MITRA

aah.. moinak boawmick.. Hope ive got ur pronunication right :P.. anyways hes a nice guy to hang out with although gives a weird impression wen looked at from a distance.. his alter-ego is most visible after he is drunk ! :D... but hes sure to make one smile and I’ve never really seen him being serious with things.. :) cheers for that! N hes defntly a big free-rider.. ha ha.. i still remember the PWC intern days.. it looked like he was ‘workingfrom-home’ .. anyways a gr8 frnd in him he possesses.. and a smart n witty guy too.. !! Keep up the tempo man.. cheers again :) ATB !! ...M GOKUL

Well, Mainak has probably been the ‘sleeping beauty’ of Section E and has entertained us often by being caught sleeping in class :-P .. haven’t had

the chance to work with him much but I know he’s quite a smart and intelligent guy..one memory of his that i just can’t get over is that of our third section party and how he apologized to us the day after the party :-P (it’s better i don’t mention the details here lest i shall be killed :-P).. it was a pleasant surprise to know that you knew sruthi.. thanks for all the updates on her (bday, ppo etc.) :-D ..here’s wishing you all the best for your future! keep smiling and stay blessed :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

kaafi late mulatakat hui babumoshai aapse..as opposed to what ppl say dat u r sleeping beauty,mujhe to aap kafi charming aur cheerful personality wale jaan pade who loves to party..aah ek incident yaad agaya jab kisine bataya tha ki section party me tum pool me kud gaye the..bhai respect agayi thi tumhare liye :p keep partying and wish u have a great life ahead..Zindagi Badi Honi Chahiye, Lambi Nahi Babu Moshai :)...RAHUL BALWADA

Fellow johnnie, neighbour.. thanks for your sondesh and sweets that you used to bring all the way from Kolkata. loved it :) it was nice to have you as a fellow johnnie. There are many sweet memories of ours as a johnnie. I fondly remember your enthusiasm in B’day bumps of others and taking advantage of third floor for pouring hot water on them :P Good luck and wish you success in your career :) Cheers ! ...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Mainak, you have been an absolutely wonderful senior. Although you seemed a little bit serious in the beginning (maybe that was because of the Bakraa process that was going on), you have been very friendly and supportive when it mattered the most. I would like to specially thank you for mentoring me during the summer placements. And well, you also ended up as the one who literally led me to success. You have done really great for yourselves so far and I hope you will do way better as days roll on. All the best for your career and your life ahead! :)...CHIRAG RANJAN NATH

MAR M ISH KU

MAN

First friend on campus, best friend on campus, and will remain one of my best friends forever. You had spent half of your first year in my room( we were seen together more often than some of the couples on campus ;) ). So much so, that most people mistook you as an I Block guy. You are everything that I secretly aspired for in school and could not be( topper, stud cricketer, amazing amazing footballer). Every fucking subject in PGP1, you were the one who taught me. One instance which I will never forget is our summers. You got placed in Day 1. Your parents wanted you to come home in the subsequent 10 day break.

Every other guy on campus left for home the day they got placed. But, you stayed back for only one reason. Because I was not placed, and you were my only friend. That spoke miles about you as a person. And believe it or not, I was as happy as you when GS happened. No one deserves the success in life that you have got so far more than you do.

You are closest to me in terms of laziness in this campus( Goldman will change you I guess, and I will be the undisputed winner). Thank you for bearing all my nonsense, my rhetoric questions, my immaturity.

Stay the way you are. And I seriously wish and pray that you get the only remaining piece in the jigsaw puzzle that will make your life complete. You deserve it. Cheers !! ...ARINDAM PAUL

“The man who is closest to enlightenment :D”. At times I wonder how difficult will it be for me to turn into a person like you, who is right in every aspect I can think of. I know that you don’t express much but you are concerned about the people around you (I still remember your reaction on my placement). FMCG end term, Placement prep, the sutta breaks.. are some of the moments I am definitely going to remember. I am extremely happy for what you have achieved so far. And I am sure

you will continue to do so. Not only because you are extremely talented (the I-banker who was busy reading kotler a day before his Fin Interview :P ) but also because of your humility. New York pakka aaunga, Chill maarte hain :D ...RAHUL NAGDEV

Dude, whatever I write here in any case will be much less than whatever praises or gyan or “short” I have given you in the course of our numerous booze sessions :P So remember those as my testimonials as well ;) You know you are one of my closest friends and confidantes and one of the most talented guys I have ever met in my life-- Seriously sports, academics, intelligence, you have it all-everything that we dream of excelling in as kids. And now you have a great job, and hopefully soon you will get the only thing remaining in your life which you yearn for. (P.S: I WILL demand a treat when that happens) I will remember the nightouts that we had for stupid assignments and the hours-long discussions that we had at a point in my life when I was feeling low, which would invariably end with you saying, â??Chhod itna tension mat le, sab thik ho jaegaâ?? Thanx for listening to all those shortiley sessions :P Ab isse zyada I won’t write much. I am not that good with words. Also, because I think you are one of those people who I will stay in touch with for my entire life time, so a formal testimonial doesn’t really make too much, sense now, does it? Stay happy, stay blessed, and hoping to witness you successful in every way in the years to come! As they say, â??acche logo ke saath hamesha accha hi hota hainâ?? :)...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

Manu is the perfect friend/boyfriend/student/leader material. I have never met someone ( and believe you me when I am saying this) who is as proficient is different fields in life as Manu. Whether it is attracting the fairer sex with his charm, or his abilities in the sportsfield or his intelligence in the classroom, Manu will always leave you believing that you have not done enough in life....PRANAY TODI

STUDENT OF THE YEAR ..Manish Kumar Manu (though hardly anyone would have called him Manish :P ) is the most humble person I ever met in my life, in spite of the achievements he had had. A true sportsman, you were equally good in academics thus making you the perfect all rounder of the batch. A very lazy person, (can sleep for hours :D), Manu has a very strong memory (can remember lyrics of Hindi songs which people have not even heard of!! ). Its your humility, attitude and selflessness that has taken you places till today, so try maintaining the same and life would be a cake walk for you. Nothing can stop people like you from not

succeeding in whatever you do in life. Had amazing times spent with you and thank you teaching me before the exams..Hope to stay in touch..cheers ...RAHUL YADAV

Manu...this guy is simply the best. A unique combination of someone who is remarkably lazy but has managed to excel in almost everything he has put his finger on. Also one of the easiest people to get along with - its difficult for anyone to not like him. About our time hereâ?¦I guess we only became friends thanks to RB and his huge network.

You seemed like a relatively quiet boy, and at first I thought you were a lame dick without a firm opinion on anything! While we were good friends by the time we all went off on our internships, it was only in term-4 that I got to know you better. I guess I have your lousy bidding skills to thank for that â?? you ended up enrolling for stuff like OFD, PAF & SAPM! Some of those courses might have been quite disastrous, but trying to make sense of them with RB and you - studying till 5am, trying to figure out equations we couldnt even read, the customary visit to the night mess â?? I think that made them all worth it. Come term-6 and everyone was obviously quite stressed out with placements. I think you showed a lot of maturity in dealing with some of your early hiccups. I remember us having that career-chat when, some 5 days before day-0, you were still unsure where you wanted to go! I donâ??t think you liked it much when I said that you were clearly cut out for Fin, but I am glad you proved me right! ;) When you woke me up the day you got into GS I remember how happy I was â?? rarely ever felt that glad for another person; couldnâ??t stop hugging you!

Tu sahi hai Manu. You always maintain your composure (cant even get high now :P), you manage to be authoritative without ever being imposing, and I think the best thing is its really easy to trust you. Paul jaise logon ke saath rehke you have become quite a bakchod off late, but thatâ??s nothing you cant shake off ;) Believe in yourself and back yourself Manu, and Im sure you will do great in life. Im sure we will be friends for many years to come. All the very best..!! ...ADHIT S. SHETTY

Manu. Saw him first on the football ground, only to realize the next day he was one of the Section A last benchers as well. Did not come across as the talented guy he is upfront, thanks to his humble and down-toearth nature; but you the more you get to know him, the more you are awed by him. Enough light has already been thrown on his credentials so wouldnâ??t reiterate. A soft spoken, calm & composed guy. We

were a part of the same academic group in Term 1, and I am sure my free riding would have annoyed you to great heights back then :P but the good natured guy he is, all he would tell me is â??Not fair beâ?? :D Then we teamed up for BNP Paribas during summers where I am sure I again annoyed him infinitely, this time though for completely opposite reasons (asking him to contribute every time there was a case). But overall, a sincere, hard-working, gentle guy with whom you can always have a light hearted banter. One of the very few in todayâ??s world who speak less and do more, and that is truly respect worthy. Would remember your typical way of speaking! Have fun & stay blessed :)...ISHAN BOSE

I heard of Manu on day 0 of summers and kept wondering whats with this guy that he had a zillion shortlists that day but when I got to knew him, I was certain why anyone would want such a guy to be employed with them. Being extremely intelligent and yet making no airs about it makes Manu so special. Its a treat to watch Manu play football (remember trying to defend against you :P) and I just adore the calmness and composure with which he goes about doing his activities. Never takes things seriously and manages to keep our group entertained. His capacity to absorb short from our group is admirable :P. I am confident you would do great at work and wish you good luck. Stay in touch :) ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

Manu we used to call him fondly. One of the most calm and composed person i have seen on campus. A great sportsman at the same time. Star of the football team, a big soccer fan. We had a lot of fun together on RIP trip and there came to know more about him.. I had never seen him lose his composure how tough the situation is .. It was wonderful to be with you buddy .. Keep it up in life and wish you good luck :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Manu !!! You are a saint ! The most admired personality on campus. You are truly the Jack and Master of all trades - sports, stellar academics. I am still in awe of the fact - how could you achieve all of this and still be so humble. You truly endorse the saying “Actions speak louder than words” I am so glad to have a friend like you. I just wish I had the opportunity to spend more time with you guys and go on those most fun and carefree drinking sessions. I ll always treasure the gurukripa, classic outings and will miss that a lot. I have hardly seen you lose your patience and calm.

How I wish I could be more like you ! Needless to say you have a great future ahead. I just hope that we ‘ll stay in touch and meet whenever you are travelling to Mumbai or I am coming to Bangalore :) Take care...PAR-

ASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Manu was created when cosmic spirits decided it’s about time to create someone that can ‘show em how its done’, regardless of context. Manu’s an ace at anything he touches. I just don’t get it. Football. Acads. Personality. Professionalism. Right up there. Every single time. Enviable guy, and an absolute delight to play football alongside, because of his Arsenal blood. He’s so down to earth despite being unjustifiably talented, making him among the most respected guys on campus. If we’d met earlier at Deloitte Bangalore, we’d have created a football revolution there. I’m glad to have met you here dude. You’re a class apart....BHARATH GANGADHARAN

You were the saviour of our study group in term 1. We took the longest time in doing all the assignments but you’d swoop in and take charge and finish them perfectly. You’d always fret over the marketing ones saying that you had no idea of how to globe around. But somehow the best ideas and globe were always yours! You’re awfully smart and always very calm and composed. I had a lot of fun working with you!

Here’s wishing you a good life ahead....ANKITA SATIJA

If Sportscom was a way of life, I think you’d be its champion :P But then again, I hear you like to live truly and laugh uncontrollably among other things. Hmm, you’re a man of many talents! I suspect you’d be a very interesting person to swap stories with when we’re drunk, but you’re probably relieved that we didn’t get the chance to :P Little Miss Naughty got in the way of our heart-to-heart last night. But then tere toh kitne sare Miss Naughties honge :P I could say you’re down-to-earth, reserved, perspicacious and composed, but I’d just be stating the obvious. I only wish I could dare to scale the heights you’ve achieved...but kya kare? I’ll always be an inch shorter than you :P Before I give you any more ‘short’, I’ll stop writing. Hope to make the best of whatever time we have left :)...ANOORAG BISWAS

AIN

KJ MAYAN

Jain as he is known amongst the batch mates, one of the sweetest (I know that adjective sounds better coming from the fairer sex) guys you get to meet around. Quite a friendly person, he is easy to get along with. A guy who would smile back at you even if he passes you by 10 times a day being in the same wing. One of the people I would usually head to whenever in need of urgent help. I wouldnâ??t lie, the image we had of the senior placement committee, your amicable sophisticated nature did not in any way go along with that (and even though I voted for you, I thought you would be a rather misfit in that bunch) :P But hey, you were both a part of junior and senior committee and even though I donâ??t know of the details of the work you would do, I knew well the amount of effort and time you would put into it (I remember your rooms would remain locked almost the entire day). Glad that you got placed in the first company that visited campus, and as I already told you it was funny because I clearly remember how worried you were on the first day at campus regarding placements :D I am sure you will go places. Have fun dude, and keep in touch! :)...ISHAN BOSE

Whenever we are together, we just talk, talk and talk. I still remember being at your place in Mumbai and talking with you till 8 in the morning and innumerable talking night-outs on campus post that. Silly or serious doesnâ??t matter but we always have a topic to talk about, however random or relevant. I have also spent the most amount of competition time with you which started with Marico during summers and ended with Marico too with Over The Wall. I have enjoyed working with you the most. I just love the fact that you maintain your cool in the most demanding situations and with most difficult people (maybe thatâ??s also why you are a placomer :P). Out of all the work and good

times we had, an amazing friendship has prospered between us two and I know that I can talk to you about anything and everything under the sun.

Looking forward to all the more chatter and madness because I am going to irritate you for the rest of your life and you have no choice but to deal with it. :P...SWATI VERMA

Mayank is the quintessential multi-tasker of our batch. Iâ??ve seen this guy doing hell lot of things, all at same time. There are two things that make him stand apart, his energy levels and his networking skills. If he has to finish a task, heâ??ll do it no matter what it takes. Mayank, Iâ??ve never been able to figure out when you sleep, or if you sleep at all. And Iâ??m totally in awe of your networking skills. Youâ??re connected to almost every one on campus and a hell lot of people outside, thatâ??s just insane!! You, Mathur and I had loads of discussion on millions of topics, and I just hope the discussions keep happening irrespective of your busy schedule. :P. But youâ??re one humble guy whoâ??ll always be there to help at any given time. And I always keep making fun of your shopping habits, your Mickey Mouse bedsheet and a range of Happy Meal toys in your room. Iâ??m sure youâ??ll be a top notch consultant in no time. And just never forget that weâ??ll have atleast one Bachelorâ??s Party in Las Vegas, doesn’t matter whose. :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

I would like to begin by saying that you are an idiot and also one of my best friends. :P You are one of the most mature and hardworking persons I have met Mayank. I have seen you work so hard so effortlessly. And I still dont know when you sleep ! Whenever I am stressed about something, I know I can always cry on your shoulder :P Be it the confusion of whether to go on exchange or the stress I was taking during placements, you have always been there to calm me down. And I must say you are surprisingly good at it .The way you talk to me when I am stressed is like how someone talks to a child and it always works :) I truly value your friendship and hope you will always be there to calm me down :P your love for shopping, chocolates and beauty products is of course well known ! :P And I love pulling your leg.because of that. Always stay this way idiot :)...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

MJ- You are one of the most focused and well-planned guys I know. I bet you had all legitimate answers to questions like ‘Why MBA’, “What are your goals in life” etc. during your MBA Interviews. Your work ethic is incredible as you can literally go on for many nights without sleep or food if you have set your sights on something. But the thing I’ll remember

the most about you is your quirks, whether it is your random hand gestures or your sudden calling of everyone to Sanjays room or suddenly asking everyone to go together for a walk or for dinner. You are bound to be very successful in whatever you decide to do and I know it because you won’t let go of that thing unless you are successful. I’ll remember our walks when we were discussing random fundas about girls and life in general. Take care always! Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Going to keep it short, so that others also have space to write! (If this is not altruism, what is :P). From JPC days we have come a long way.

I vividly remember that during our JPC times you refused to mention names in a pre-process. You demonstrated your conviction towards your stated position through action. It speaks volumes about your courage and strength. I hope we keep crossing each othes’s path and regale our stories just like those old times. Wish you success and good health! ...ARCHIT JAIN

MJ!!! One of the most chilled out Placommers. But we go way back.

Super-glad to have you in my group in the first year. I donâ??t think Iâ??ve seen anyone work as hard and as determined as you. Humara â??HEROâ??. Section-D days would never be the same without you.

I still wonder why you looked so drugged (with red blood-shot eyes).

What you would do the entire night still remains a mystery!!!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Well, chocolatey boy ‘next door’..first person I met on campus and have been neighbours since then. Very hard working yet totally cool... few people I think who deserve what they have achieved so far...All the best for your career ahead....VIVEK THEBARIA

Yo Manku, you are one person I will regret why I got to know so late.

So, we began hitting it together in bombay. Marine drive still remembers us dude. There are still a lot of things in our to-do which I’m sure we’ll strike out soon. You are a perfect example of multi-tasker and we’ve all learnt a lot from you. Here’s a bow to your awesome research _/\_ The all nighters we’ve had, the times outside fac mess and in our office, the way we used to stalk on fb :P I will miss all this. And needless to say, we will remain friends for times to “cum” :P All the best for your career, may you get the BCGs and Mckineys \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Mayank Jain - My one true love on campus. Swati was always the “kebab main haddi” for all the competitions and never really let us have our privacy. Such a shame ;) Anyway - jokes apart, you’re a brilliant guy, an outstanding team mate and someone who I have immense respect for. To be very honest, when Swati first suggested that we form a group for MOS, I had my doubts as to whether a placommer would have time to work. You proved me completely wrong and turned out to be a fabulous group mate.

More importantly you then turned into a gem of a friend. I just wish that you had wanted something more than a laptop sleeve when we had gone to MICA but I think we did a great job with Over the wall (with your expertise with Livon and all). I will never forget the discussions about when is the right time to “have a shave”, “the salon habits of women”, “shopping habits of women” etc. all while Swati listened on! Anyway now you are a big shot consultant. I will always remember all the time we spent together, whether it was working or having fun. You will always be my one true love :P All the best for the years to come! ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

MJ is among the most sweetest and chilled out persons in the campus.....

He is a person whom you can trust with anything and he comes out with a solution in minutes(despite his busy schedule) .....Bakar session in first year were awesome( including Yogi’s stories) with you.. Had an awesome time with him in RIP and I still laugh at the poker games played there and pulling your leg (for being on phone ;)) .. Very humble and down to earth and a friend I am lucky to have...US mai jaake bhulna mat and beech beech mai milte rehna :) All the best for your future :) ...UDIT BOKARIA

Recalling our first few meetings during the initial weeks at IIM Indore makes me smile now. Remember that meeting outside J-block when we discussed for hours about how we ended up here and how now we should be focused towards the more critical things in life, participate in competitions! Then our failed attempts at sending the entry for LIME :\ sitting through the campus round and thinking, â??Omg! We were actually thinking on the right track!!â?? Your initial apprehension for JPC and then one day you are in the team and that just helped you grow so much these last two years. Your networking skills, multi-tasking is much talked about.

But I adore the fact that you are the simplest and most humble of people, extremely fun loving. Now and then, I have never let go of the chance to pull ur leg for the many reasons ;) Maybe we should have spent more time in the 2nd year but nevertheless you are among those few with whom itâ??s been so easy to reconnect. Hereâ??s wishing you best of luck for your personal and professional life.. U have it all to make it large in life..

Hope u achieve all the success and happiness in life. Stay in touch!...

NEHA KANWAL

The ambulance ride from acad block was one fun moment I distinctly remember! You have always been of great help to all of us in team and have played that critical role of instilling “seriousness” in all work we did! Wish you all the very best! Keep in touch! :)...PIYUSHA DANI

You have been one of those persons who is serious when it comes to doing work and fun when it is time to enjoy, It has been nice knowing a person like you and the team has got quite a few insights from you.

All the best for Deloitte!! A lot of fun parties coming your way with lots of work too :P. ...SUNITA MISHRA

hey.. Thanks for all the support and motivation. You have been an awesome mentor. God bless you and good luck for journey ahead :)...

SHWETA GANDHI

MJ you are easily one of my closest & a well known friend on campus..

I have known you from the term 1 in the same section, same row, same hostel block, same committee and now same company :) You are such a nice guy to get along with.. someone with whom you can chat for hours together without feeling bored. You are an epitome of poshness dude as if money just keeps flowing from your wallet all the time :) Coming to serious stuff, the selfless hardwork that you put as an spc is unparalleled and I admire you for that. I know you go to sleep very late in the night and still one can find you in the ofc at 10 in the morning.. Fantastic job dude. Have learnt a lot from your perseverance and never-say-die attitude. This hardwork will take you to greater heights in life and am sure you will have a successful career ahead. All the best for life MJ :) :)...SIMPSON SELWYN

Mayank Jain - I’m not letting this guy off easy. Both of us know we love and hate each other. Okay the easy part first. Mayank is very hardworking, multi tasking and insanely focussed. He has the knack of keeping himself motivated driven all the time towards results. And he gets there quite often too :) A very friendly fun guy to hang around with. But what comes to your mind when you think of Mayank....his idiosyncrasies of course. The way he says “Aur bata..”, Aisa hai ki...”Main soch raha tha...”. the way he looks into the mirror and puffs up his cheeks, the way he blushes. OMG I will miss all that so much. He can be very

emotional and is a great friend to have. I can never forget our late night gossip sessions. Best part of our friendship I can say is I’ll always know he’ll be there for me and I for him. Loads of luv Mayank Jain :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

I still remember the first time i met you. J-221, some random night, after acadcomm interview, you were cribbing about how shitty the selection process was. Little did i know then that we would be part of a bigger and a better team in the coming months. I have always liked how you handle situations in a composed manner. The way you structure out solutions to problems is something which very few can pull off. You have always been a personification of dedication and commitment. There were days when i used to sit besides you in awe wondering how someone can be this good at research. You hav been a very good example of how one can manage time by prioritising tasks. Placom helped me know you more as a person.

We have had eventful time together with all our gossips, late night discussions, petty fights, misunderstandings and banters. I have thoroughly enjoyed interacting with you over the past two years. I still remember the discussion we had during dandiya night in first year :-P. I have enjoyed making fun of your gestures as well. Atb da. I know you will come big in life. Stay in touch and please finish off Trufis :-P ...RAHUL S

MJ the dude, brother, best friend and what not. Such a short testimonial may not be enough but you simply made the 2 years enjoyable and memorable. All the night mess masti’s and block masti’s will always be a part of memories thatI will always cherish. You are one person with whom I could share everything and don’t worry you are not getting parted so soon, I will keep buggin you forever :P. Thanks for being a part of my journey and ATB for the future and don’t ever stop being MAYANK :P :)...HARSH RAJ

I distinctly remember you telling me how to face one of the interviews during the summers. You were amongst the approachable people in the team. All the best for everything! Stay in touch :)...BHASKAR MANDELIA

How can I ever forget about the great one originally responsible for the Alibaug Catastrophe! MJ, Aap to alag hi dude hain. Spoke to you first after converting Indore, and even though you yourself had a buttload of your own stuff to handle, you helped me out in the initial few days. Thanks for that, tu nahi hota to bakra plus formalities mein mujhe heart-attack pakka aana tha! Honestly, these past 2 years have been extremely confusing for me when it comes to you! Ek taraf I get absolutely irritated when you keep

talking round and round the topic without coming to the point! Doosri taraf, I have to sit and samjhaao myself, ki there are very few sensible, helpful people around, so stop being an idiot and wait for him to come to the point! :P Sony happened, and we lived at that cross-border area. Take my word, it would have been god-awful and lonely for me had you not been around! MJ’s loved by most, and that trickled down to me being a part of all those plans you guys made! He is responsible for half the sales of luxury perfumes, bags, chappal-jootas and kapde!

He knows a lot about a lot of things, and is so much more well-read than I am and yet about 15 shades more humble and grounded in reality than I am! No wonder they were Deloitted to pick you up from the folks here! I’m sure you’ll machaao in Del more than you machaaoed here! Get bhai a drink or two and observe how he gets “settled”! Stay in touch bhai! Enjoy! :) ...PARTH KAPOOR

Dude what I write here is never going to be enough to express the kind of connect we have ever since first year of MNNIT....dude those things go beyond words....because it takes me back to the best days of our lives that somehow still persisted at IIMI.... though we could not spend as much time together as we would have liked here at IIMI....but that the power of friendship we have that we don’t need even that.... And yet had some wonderful moments with you yes the B’day in Bus was something that I can never forget!! I was the sweetest and most bakar b’day party!!! :D And what to write about you...smart and dedicated... and knows how to party I know u’ll go places buddy....you already are and I don’t need to worry about loosing touch with you :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Mayank Jain... One of my first friends on campus... First thing that comes to mind is his typical mannerisms :P... Very famous.. Insanely goal-oriented and clarity of how to get there... One of the few guys i know who can talk about anything... Always game for good food - A best similarity we share :D..But you dont get fat... I wonder how you manage everything you do... Acads to placom to all the fun you have with numerous people on campus.. We’ve had some great times together and will always remember the fun.. Never stop enjoying yourself.. and keep reaching greater heights.. All the best.. Love :)...NIKHILESH MURALA

Mayank is one of the most nicest person I have ever met. I have never ever seen him lose his cool or say something bad about anyone. It is

really hard to imagine that he managed to stay in placement committee for 2 straight years and still be as nice and down to earth as he is today.

I met him during my industrial visits and since then he has been one of my best friends here on campus and almost all of our best memories are captured in the most awesome place in Indore - “Trance”. The marathon sessions that we had together will always be cherished by me. I really loved the time we spent together during our internship. The best thing about Mayank is that he is extremely hard working and sincere about his work without you ever seeing him compromise on the fun things in life. I can’t stress enough how highly I think of you Mayank, I just wish there are more people like him in this world. Simple, caring and really fun to hang around with. I wish you all the happiness in the future. Hope you appear in Mumbai every weekend for more fun. :)...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

MJ - Haanji, it has been my good fortune to have met and worked with you for the past two years. Your research ability, your approach to doing something you set your mind to is why Gulati has always said ‘MJ tho bahut phodu hai’ to me :) (I concur, of course; obviously! :) ). You have made friends with everybody in the college and helped us as a team achieve whatever little we have by raising the bar. I recall your focus for the media and VCPE things we tried so hard for during the beginning of this year - half those sites you found leads all by yourself. I will miss your gyan sessions on technology and feel that you will start something on your own very soon - S&O ka work ethic bhi aapke level ka kahan. Of course, this testimonial would not be complete without a mention of how massively you influenced Sushil (you know who!) - beta maante hai woh aapko :) & how you proved your Jammu-ness by walking around in Tshirts during winters. Keep in touch and stay cool!...Chandan Nikhil K

I got to know you through Pallav and I am thankful to him that we became friends. I hardly interacted with you in the first year. And I regret that. I got to know you more during the second year especially this term. Extremely fun to be with and always a sport for anything: Drinking, poker, movie, food etc. You always ensure that a person is at ease even if he is new to a certain group. I look forward to the times ahead. Would love to be in touch with you always. ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Mayank...I got to know you during MOS project! You are one of the most hardworking people on this campus who has this insane amount of energy to do work... I was surprised by your knowledge of marketing and the fact that you read entire books on them! You have always been sweet

and polite! Its fun to talk to you and hear about the shopping mania you have! I pestered you to tell me about CRM at Honda but you never even made a face....so keep in touch and have a great life ahead!!! All the best :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Along with having one of the most crisp and clear minds, Mayank is great at handling juniors. I’m sure no one can ever replicate his contribution in things and he’ll be going places. ...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

Aur bhai padosi...bahut gaane sunaye hain tujhe but I cannot forget the day when you left everybody go mad with your fav alarm: Tera naam japdi firaan: mujhe room chhodke jana pada tha :P...anyways I am a big fan of yours when it comes to gyaan ..aur teri shyness ka jawab nahi...I remember those moments in J block when I used to whistle at girls to make you run and close your door and then we used to laugh. Spent good times during J block, RIP and our corridor chitchats.I know you never give up and will achieve whatever you want.

Good luck for that and khabarein aisi waisi to mujhe milti tahengi kher teri taang kheechne k liye :P :) ...YOGENDRA KUMAR MEENA

Mayank..I’ve always wondered how such a person like you- always cheerful and sweet to people land up in Placom?! Hehe..I shall definitely remember working in Utsaha and RMS with you....that apart I cannot thank you enough for bearing with my anxieties as well during placements..you’ve been an awesome human and our colg will do brilliantly if people like you continue to join placom..Thanks for being there for the entire batch and all the best for your future! Keep smiling! :D...NIYATI JHUNJHUNWALA

The RIP and HOP definitely added more memories and I would miss coming to your room for watching matches.

Seth c/o Vijayawada ‘Brand’ Ambassador of IIM Indore.. Though I literally never spoke to you in the 1st year, we became close in the 2nd yr.

Too talkative. No wonder you frequently strike 50 words in wordament.:) Spent some amazing moments playing cricket and dining out. Lose some weight immediately. Seriously oka manchi cutout ni waste cheskuntnav :P Though I keep pulling your leg all the time, you always took it in the right spirit. You are kind by nature. Stay that way. I’ll miss playing cricket, making fun of and messing with you :D Im glad i have found a dear friend in you. Will be there for you anytime. Keep rocking. cheers!...YASARAPU VAMSIKRISHNA

Stay like this forever :)...MAYANK JAIN

Murala - hardworking guy. In the first year, he spent almost all of his time at PI Shop. He was one of pi shop’s most valued members as well as a customer !!

NWAL

KA NEHA

Kanwal Kanwal! People call her mummy, and that is for a reason! Certainly one of the few mature and level headed people I have met here.

Of the little we have interacted, I have always felt her having a mature outlook towards things in general. I would frequently tease her in first term with those rumors of her having a crush on the hottest guy on campus (I will leave it here since there is sarcasm at multiple levels), :P and she would be a sport always and play along! And then there is this Punjabi side to her where she rocks the dance floor during DJ nights. The agony aunt for girls if I am not mistaken, and a fun person to hang out with. Wish you all the success in life! Have fun Neha :)...

ISHAN BOSE

Neha - She is the cutest senior I met on Planet-I. She was my mentor for resume iteration process and the experience of interacting with her has always been awesome. The little tips, the way you motivated to do well, all the times you said positive things, certainly makes you the “Best Mentor” :) Whenever she crosses on way, she greets with the most wonderful smile. Am sure you are going to do great wherever you go. All the Best! Keep the smile on! ...NEHA SUSHILKUMAR BHOMIA

Kanwal is one of the most friendliest people on campus. You’d always find her sporting a smile and picking up conversations with people.

One of those people who’d pick you up when you’re down and makes sure everything is in its place. Was fun having you around. Stay in touch! :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Kanwal Kanwal Kanwal Kanwal Kanwal (accompanied by the head

movement)â?¦ Howâ??s life? Baptized by fire is this one. 3 months she jheloed me on exchange and now, she is pretty much set to face anything in life. :P As a matter of policy I give hell to my friends, and this one came out with shining colours! :D Mind-boggling patience, accompanied by that mind-boggling speed-of-light way she speaks. It takes a while for one to catch what sheâ??s saying! But when you do, in spite of all your smart, you realize that she talks pure sense. Always. Without Fail. And for being the sensible one, she gets called Mummy. I hate it when shes called that by the way. :P One of the cutest, friendliest people Iâ??ve known. She can get along with pretty much anybody, and sees nothing but the best in each person. That is quite an ability. One that forces you to try to be a better person when she is around. Devoid of all selfishness, it takes all the effort she can muster to answer a question when sheâ??s given a choice! :P Takes pleasure in taking logon ka case. Quite an entertainer, get her to dance and youâ??ll know what I mean. Times spent travelling around random places in Europe will be cherished. All the fights, the bakar, the planning, the PHOTOS, Especially the PHOTOS (We look absolutely smashing together, no Kanwal?) ! And Especially Innsbruck. Especially that bloody Swarovski Crystal Factory. And also the time when youâ??d to take the senior citizen line at Eiffel Tower! :P Still remember the first time we had an intelligent conversation (Not the post-bakra-party-one). Being a rankoutsider to the IIM system, she seemed tuned in to the whole deal. Amazing networking skills, itâ??s been 2 years and I still can not figure out how someone can be as nice as Kanwal! If I can ever be 1% as awesome as you are, Iâ??ll consider it an achievement! With your naukri selling dawadaru around the world with Elililililililili, I pray you stay in touch foreverâ?¦ Awaiting Goa! :D ...PARTH KAPOOR

Have known you for 5 years and every moment that I have spent with you has been fun filled and amazing. You have been my mentor and my friend throughout my grad and post grad days... A gem of a person, you are one of the sweetest seniors whose smile can make anyone happy...:) You will not get rid of me easily :P....Hope to irritate you in the near future....:P :D...I wish you all the best for your future...and stay connected...:)...

PAWNITA MALHOTRA

Neha, the first bencher in section B with beautiful long hair. Friendly and smart, got along well with nearly everybody in the section. Sincere student with an active social life, quite a balanced person. wish you the best!...SHREYA TANDON

Neha - One of the first few with whom I interacted on the campus. Post that, there had been numerous short discussion about everything and with each discussion; she will come across as the most sensible girl here. I still remember we decided to go for LIME and ended up only discussing when to meet. With Neha, every small discussion will matter a lot because she will talk sense and ill put you at ease despite all your worries (I still rembr those summer placements days when I ws so tensed) She will always start with, â??Aur, kya chal rha hai â?? and then it will take a natural course of discussion coupled with hints of her grasp on Punjabi language. At so many occasions, I felt lyk borrowing a lil patience frm her. With your talent and down-to-earth nature, I cn see you climbing corporate ladder soon. Wish u luck at lily and looking forward to another of those small conversation time and again â?º ...MAYANK JAIN

Kanwal! I thought Iâ??ll start my testimonial writing spree with you because itâ??ll be easiest one, but I was wrong. Thereâ??s just such much I want to say, so brace yourself. I remember being very apprehensive about the neighbors I was going to have here, but from the instant I met you on day one, with your parents outside your room, I knew I had nothing to be worried about. From patiently waking me up at ungodly hours, to being up for bakar sessions at any part of the day, to those yummm cup namkeen things that you get ghar se, to taking tension about being unprepared for exams, youâ??ve been more than a perfect neighbor. Apart from being one of my favoritest people on campus, youâ??re also among the people I respect the most. I just donâ??t get how itâ??s humanly possible for a person to be as nice as you are! Not a single person who knows you has ever had anything but nice things to say about you. You have this incredible knack of making everyone around you feel special. As a friend, youâ??re the absolute best! Someone I can blindly trust, depend on, speak my heart out to with no fear of judgment, and get objective advice at the end of it all. Added to all of this are those extremely endearing Punjabi quirks of yours: light-loot, change-choonj, love for dance and that super rapid pace of talking. Love how youâ??re always up for every plan and are a complete sport! To sum it up, you are one super-duper person and Iâ??m really going to miss having you around. Wishing you all the best for a great career and a great life ahead. â?º p.s: Iâ??m dead serious about London Thumakda and am hoping I get to perform at the earliest ;) ...KAVYA AMARNATH

Neha is the most diplomatic person I have ever met. She will go to any lengths to avoid conflict and make sure everyone gets what they want.

What is really great about her is she does really want everyone to get what they want. I am amazed at how she can maintain her calm and fun demeanor even when the entire world around her is having a go at each other. Thanks to Parth and Harsh I know the only thing that makes her go crazy. ï?? I have spent a lot of time both working and having fun with Neha and I can say for sure that she is one of easiest and best people to work with, she will give due consideration to what you say while making sure she makes her contribution as well. As for fun I am very happy that Neha has entered the mainstream booze club. :P I have never met anyone and I am sure no one exists who has anything negative to speak about Neha.

She has always been very reticent but whatever you come to know about her from others make you like and respect her more and more. I wish Neha a really successful career ahead (which she will have regardless) and a really happy life. ï??...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

Neha is the force which gets our section together for impromptu treats... gal is always ready for an outing.. one of the cool kids who parties a lot, very chilled out.. I guess the only front bencher who is not called a nerd. :) but when it comes to assignments she is always the first to create the What’s App group.. she literally pushes people to work their asses off..:P Keep up the spirit Neha.. and keep in touch :)...Parth Kosada

The most amount of chilling in hostel that we have done is your room.

When all four of us end up being together in your room (mostly because its the cleanest of all with lots of space to sit unlike the rest of us), its like a house on fire with the incessant talking about all things happening in and out of campus for hours and hours forgetting about all the chaos and work. You are one of the most sensible and fun loving people that I have come across. You go to Kanwal for any advice and she will listen it to patiently and will give the most sane advice starting with “Koi Naa, ho jaega”. :D I absolutely adore your sensibility Kanwal. I missed you so much while you were on exchange as there were not many takers for breakfast and also to wake me up for it. You are a true Punjabi with your immense love for food and bindaas nature.Looking forward to more such good times with you in future. Love you loads. :) ...SWATI VERMA

Kanwal. I only need to see her coming in the distance to raise my spirits and put a smile on my face. Someone who’s super nice to everyone and sees the bright side in even the most annoying people. If I think about it,

I think she’s probably the most liked person in the batch and most deservedly so. Her calm demeanour and a smile which can’t be rubbed off her face make her the incredible person she is. Kanwal-You’re one of the people I’m going to miss the most.Stay cool. Lots of love...ADITYA BALARAMAN

The central pivot on which the seesaw that was Parth and Harsh hinged.I’m positively sure that exchange would’ve been a lot less fun & a lot more difficult had you not been there to stick around, with your level headedness and good intentions.Extremely adjusting, Neha is absolutely impossible to dislike no matter who you are.Your ability to make difficult situations easy, yet the simplest decisions complicated really amuse me (Not to forget your awesome sense of humour :P) With all the sincerity that I can muster , I really hope the best for your life since you deserve every bit....HARSHVARDHAN V

Kanwal is undoubtedly the Guruma. She has a hell lot of advice in her armory. You just name the problem, and sheâ??ll be ready with an advice. She always makes sure youâ??re not doing any wrong things, scolds like a mom. Kanwal, I always used to complain to you that we don’t know much about you. But I think the Mumbai trip was one great experience to know you well. On that trip I learnt you’re not a Sardarni, you don’t even speak Punjabi, you were the leader of Arts & Crafts Society and what not. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Well that’s just the beginning. We’ll keep bumping into each other, given the superb industry we are in. Together we’ll rule the Pharma sector Kanwal.

Stay blessed and party-puuurty karti rahio! :P ...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Kanwal aka Mummy, you have been , by far, the best and the sweetest person I have met. You and your personality tends to amaze me at times.You have this incredibly invisible shield towards all the problems and issues of life. Your ‘Koi naa, sab thik ho jaayega’ attitude has been soothingly inspiring. How can a person like and be liked by everyone and I mean it everyone!? This is something which is remarkably impeccable of you Neha. The section B camaraderie we shared, the love for making some cute punjabi steps during the Dj Nights and the Dandiya Night has been some of my choicest memories for you. Your love for ‘Kadi Chawal’ always reminds me of you when I am having one any time. Initially I thought you are like those coward perpetually politically coorrect ones who don’t want to be in a rut for anything, but I completely was mistaken. That is essentially you in entirety and that’s

what is the best about you. Remain that way forever. Loads of love and luck for future. Cheers :)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Neha :) The smiley pretty much says it all. Whether it’s pinching those cotton candy like cheeks or generally troubling you or just having a general conversation on anything under the sun, you bring a smile to my face.

I wish the Rajasthan trip had happened earlier, because I definitely feel that we have become closer after that. If I could change one thing from the last two years, it would be, without batting an eyelid, to have you in our RIP group. That would have made things perfect. I love the fact that you have no qualms about anything in life and that nothing ever seems to matter unless it’s something good. You are the best mommy I could have asked for on campus, one that can always put me in my place :) Here’s to a fabulous career ahead. May all your dreams be reality! ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Neha, it was always fun talking to you! We shared an excellent rapport possible only cuz of the superb comfort levels... I guess we have Suhasini to thank for the introduction! Btw we never got paid for the project :P And I never got around to telling you how I oversold the project for my interview! Well that sums up how it always was with us... Tons of randomness when we meet, always forgetting what we met to discuss about, and never enough time! I kept hearing you’re very diplomatic, you gotta tell me what this is about sometime and teach me as well if possible! Bet we will be scrambling for time to meet up, let alone bring this up when we run into each other :P Some things won’t change I guess, just the way I usually walk off in high spirits after our conversations :) Do keep in touch, cheers!...Avinash Chidambar

Kanu ! I really dont think I will be to do justice to how I feel about our friendship through words but I am still going to try ! You were one of the first people I met on campus and our friendship has only gotten stronger ever since. You are one of the most sane, level headed and mature persons I know. Whenever I have a problem, or I am worried about something or I want to share some good news, I invariably come knocking on your door. It is so easy to share things with you. You are one of the nicest, warmest and most loving human being I have ever met. You are always trying to make other people happy and trying to ensure everyone gets what they want.. I have seen you on several counts compromise on what you want just so that everyone is happy. This is what makes you special Kanwal ! I remember the time when we were both confused about going

on exchange but finally decided to go. The 2-3 trips that we made together on exchange will always remain special especially the yacht trip and prague pub crawl ! :P You are also one of the most caring and kind hearted persons I know- be it the times when I hurt my leg or when I am randomly upset about some stupid thing- you have always been there to support me and I love you for that :) During the recent mumbai trip I got to know a lot of funny things about you- your burmese roots and how your house is just 500 m from PEC :P and I am going to keep pulling your leg on these things ! ;) In short I feel lucky to have you as my friend. Alwaysbe this way :) ...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

neha, u r one of the most calm, level-headed and mature persons i have met.. its so easy and fun to talk to u and share things with you... we spent a great RIP together :) wishing you the very best in your life and career ahead... stay in touch :) :)...SAKSHI YADAV

All the best Neha :) It was fun working with you in group. I actually have nothing to add after going through all your testimonials :/ I can only say next time goli mat dena :P France mein toh tumne jo plan banaye trip ke woh kabhi materialize nhi ho paye kam se kam India mein milte rehna :P I will always remember your dialog “ladke kuch kaam karle” , term 2 was fun :) and over all section B was fun because of few people and you top that list :) Hopefully you will keep pushing us for more get-togethers and hangouts in later phase of life. Cheers ! keep smiling ...AMIT KUMAR YADAV

I got to know you when we were volunteering for our seniorsâ?? placements; how confused you were whether to go on exchange or stay back. I guess now you know you made the right decision. Getting to know you better in France was fun, we had awesome times on yacht, Nice ka beach, Nancy ka home-made dinner. But I canâ??t forget that embarrassing moment in Barcelona party:p But all are memories. It was good to know there is someone who is not placed around when our respective friends were all placed and the constant reminder ki ho jaaega kahin na kahin. As a person you are very sweet. Stay the same and we will catch in Gurgoan as well ï??...Variksh Thaker

Neha Kanwal Kanwal :D One of the most chilled out beings of PlanetI who always sports a smile and the casual way in which she says â??Aur kya ladke, kya haal chaal?!â?? Always a sport for any and every fun activity be it inside the class or outside, she defines â??work hard

and party harderâ??. A force to reckon with on DJ nites, she gets along with everyone really well and the comfort level that people share with her is quite evident in the sheer number of awesome testimonials on this page. Always one to advise to â??take a chill pillâ?? and â??Ho jayega yaar, tu tension na leâ??, I have never seen her stressed out about anything.

Literally nothing freaks her out, super admirable quality for B-Schooler.

Thereâ??s so much more to this girl than meets the eye and I feel that these innumerable testimonials have barely scratched the surface. Stay awesome and stay blessed Kanwal :D Keep in touch !...JOGA PREETAM

Kanwal, my biggest regret is that we could not spend the RIP together.

Having said that, I’m really looking forward to this goa trip with you. We’re going to make some real cool memories over there. Kanwal, you’re always so calm, so understanding and so caring. You’re also the most loved person on campus. I remember you running around from room to room one day to work on your live project. You do the hardwork that is required without fretting or getting worked up about it and I really admire that about you. Just when I thought you couldn’t get more awesome, you came back from exchange in a new avatar which we got to see during the Classic episode and the New Year’s eve. To put it simply, you’re awesome! Here’s to the time that we spent together and the future. Cheers....

ANKITA SATIJA

Neha.. a very hardworking girl..A very cute smile.. Always sincere n it has paid off for u.. All the best for future n keep in tch.. ...RACHIT MITTAL

Kanwal..I think it all began with you correcting my pronunciation of Kanwal where you said the N was silent :P and from there began a wonderful friendship going to movies together and studying in harjai’s room(epic one was one of the mid’terms where none of the blocks had any light and we were all gathered in harju’s room and then you keeping things calm in all the chaos) I know I can behave a bit weird at times but then I tend to do that with friends and you have been just too cool to look past the one or two minor nok-jhoks that we have had..but we ve had amazing time at dj nites(ur typical Punjabi style dance) , to all the internship time talks,term 4 group work and placement prep and finally a memorable Udaipur trip discussing music, ipod, conversations over shared headphones and more to the senapati ka wave to maharani kanwal atop the camel :D...hoping we stay in touch and wish you the very best in life..you are truly awesome and always stay this way :) ...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

Neha, you have been the best neighbour in class one can ask for..

Thank God we had the same preferences of sleeping, chit-chatting, playing and not listening to the prof at all :D..you are such an integral part of my first year life at IIM Indore. Classes were always fun, thanks to you and our awesome bakar sessions of everyday and I fondly remember how sitting through even one lecture was so tough for me if you werent attending the class. The best thing about you is your calm, cool and tension-free approach towards anything in life. As much as I know you, I know you are a very emotional person and yet, even if you do not like something or get hurt, you keep it aside so gracefully and that’s why I always said that I wish I were like you. You have all the qualities it requires to be a good manager. You are easily the most loved person on campus. God bless you. Always be the happy and jovial girl that you are. Keep in touch :)...AANCHAL GOYAL

Neha...punjabi kudi...ek dum mast bandi....Section parties r fun cause of few ppl talking and involving everyone and u r best in dat....pretty gal and yet not a typical girl :)...good luck for the future ahead :)...

VAISHALI SHARMA

Nehaaa.. met her during the K interviews and found her really supportive enough. Very matured and a sensible lady..and she has always been a very sweet person to me. Simple at heart, no pretence and always a person in high spirits. Love the way you have remained so positive about everything and absolutely no cribbing about the “not so obvious” things happening at planet -I... well you understand! Stay the person you are ..love..cheers :) ...SURBHI SONI

A very approachable and friendly person, she always has a smile on her face..Chilled out and calm she is fun to hang out with ..Gets along very well with everyone and is always ready to listen your viewpoint...

Wish you all the best in your future..Stay in touch..:)...ATISHAY KUMAR JAIN

Neha - for first few months we barely knew each other but when I actually realised of how wonderful a person you are was during our Summers. You were the only one who used to calm me down and whenever stressed, it was only you to whom I wanted to turn to. Over the past 2 years, we have had some kickass moments such as late night movies (horror :P), the bakar sessions and what not. You are one awesome person. Hope to stay in touch with you forever. All the

best for your career, i’m sure you will achieve great heights :) \m/ ...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Seeing you around inevitably makes me get all high on energy and say hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Neha :D I haven’t really had the opportunity to interact much with you but you come across as this extremely sweet and friendly person. Wish you all the best for your future :)...SONIKA KHURANA

Neha! Probably someone who I would turn to to talk about some serious stress or issue that bothers me, without the fear of being judged or misunderstood... because mummy, you are that understanding and extremely patient. We shared so many many conversations in first year just going down those pataal lok stairs. Your immense ability to understand people so well, and your maturity while giving me advice or just voicing your opinion so calmly is what makes you ultra special. Sometimes I have tried to match your maturity levels when we’ve discussed studies, career, or even random stuff like Punjab, Chandigarh and Mumbai. We’ve built a very strong bond (stronger than FEVIbond)slowly but steadily over the past two years.My revision partner for so, so many subjects. I remember how we two were always game for group study and all the others used to crib! The lastest to the addition was FMCG revision - SQUEEZE remember? With Kavya.. and how we all laughed! I’ve told you this, but I’l say it again- you are close to film star gorgeous when you wear your shades ;) You are so sorted about your life and your friends that I’ve never seen you insecure, fight for silly things, or bitch about people like most other girls your age.. which makes you unique and loveable. Your kids will be the most privileged kids in the world - because you are that motherly and caring! Cheers to all we’ve shared, Rajasthan was super duper awesome.

It did somewhat make up for your absence in HOP. Hopefully there’ll be more trips, and more memories that we’ll co-create ahead. Love, Hugs and cheer! :)...Raoul Lopes

Hehe when we met for the first time we ended up receiving so many raised eye-brows. It was actually on the SpiceJet flight from Indore to Delhi during the 2013 Diwaali time, and there were around 60-70 of us from IIM Indore. No one would ever believe but we started playing Antakshri at top of our voices in the flight itself. All the foreign passengers have obviously never had witnessed any such thing before and they in addition with certain ours got all irritated that what the hell was happening, but such was our aura that even the flight attendants were enjoying so much that even they did not stop us and let us play for whole 120 minutes ;) From

then, whenever we have met; be it working in the same group in OCD or the small chit chats in mess, we have shared a great time together.

You always have come across as a fun loving and easygoing person and that I can say with complete conviction after attending Cipla and Mahindra Comviva placement processes with you. :D I have always admired the way you carry yourself, always smiling! I wish you all the very best for Eli Lilly and other future endeavours. Stay in touch! :)...

PRAKARSH AREN

Kanwal â?? The Mommy of the dysfunctional family. I could never have handled the challenges of the exchange trip as graciously as you did. Just goes to show how mature and patient you are. I look up to you and pray that I am able to develop even a 1% of that patience and maturity in me. You, like your name (Mommy) are the most caring person that I have met in IIM Indore. You are always so talkative, bubbly and yet always manage to stay away from all controversies. Mainly because everyone knows that you are always right. I have a lot of respect for your opinion and views. You would make an amazing marketer in whatever sector you are working in. It saddens me that you will not be in Mumbai. I will miss you a lot & pray that you come to Mumbai soon. ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Neha Kanwal Kanwal..I just love to call you this way :p Our badi mummy or choti..i get confused always..but the fact is you have always been a great support and so helpful during these two years like a mommy..I still remember the way you handled me before and after summer placement..you cheered me up! I really like the way you put your thoughts across.so innocent..so simple and so cheerful..I will never forget the moments spent together..Mumbai outings during JBIMS fest, city hangouts, train travels..loved it all..always stay in touch and keep smiling :)...SONAKSHI SAINI

Do stay in touch and all the very best for your future :) ...SALIL AGGARWAL

Neha - it was great fun with you during the second term. Remember the pepsi vs coke SM presentation in class where the entire class was trying to cross-question us - those were some good times :) A big thank you for trying to organize section parties and getting everyone to stick to a dress code on the last day of PGP 1. WIsh you all the very best in life. I am sure you will have a wonderful career. Keep in touch :)...KARTHIK HARIHARAN

Fathoms away u see something â??tallâ??, with a garb, walking her way in bravado, a scintillating smile on the face, a glistening sparkle in the eyes and the super cute â??Hiâ?? sheâ??s Nikita who can light up the day brighter than the sun with her ever welcoming gesture. The tall one with the biggest heart she can find space to keep anyone there. Chulbuli and bindaas.. this girl is all time high with excitement! One name every guy has on his mind! I know I haven’t been the best of friends and I regret not hanging out with you more often considering these years we have known each other and being from the same place. But it has been entirely my pleasure to have known u. May ur life ahead be resplendent with colors of happiness & cheer & never let that smile of urs fade away. Always be the benign person you are. Hope to remain in touch in future. Cheers !...

NIKHIL SHARMA

Our interaction was in the late 3 rd term. Since then we exchanged smiles and tiny conversations. You are one of the most versatile girls I have ever seen...sports, dance, acads and the most beautiful girl on campus.. I am glad we both are friends and thanks for always admiring my paintings..

I wish you have a great time ahead both in life and career...Cheers..!...

AMBATI AVINASH

An extremely beautiful girl with an extremely beautiful heart! Remember dancing the night away at Bakra DJ & then your wonderful company during RIP. Will always remember you for the confident person and awesome friend that you are :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

My first impression of Nikita is really funny, as I was standing in queue to get my dinner in Mess 2 and out of nowhere comes a girl and offers a handshake saying â??Hi I am Nikita Sharma, vote for me in Sports Committeeâ?? :D And well, I did vote for you! That apart, most of my interaction with Nikita over the 2 years has been during our trip to Mount Titlis.

It was really heartening to figure out a few known faces at Balmerâ??s.

And frankly, it was one of the most fun trips I had on exchange. Be it the banter we had discussing almost everything under the sun possible in the journey from Interlaken back and forth or her continuous trembling due to cold or her getting furious over a lady for badmouthing India, it was really an amazing trip with lots of memories. Wish you all the best in life,

keep in touch! :)...ISHAN BOSE

The song that summer sings, the chill that autumn brings, this Jaipur girl is a zillion wonderful things, brought together in a delightful persona. I can only feel blessed to call Nikita my best friend. Her radiant smile and wonderful attitude towards life will help you realize how beautiful life can be and make all your problems seem trivial. The most beautiful girl on campus, she also has a natural flair for sports, be it badminton, squash, table tennis or any board game. And yes, she loves dancing, sometimes even solo performances to loud music in her room :D That being said, you have to watch out for her temper and you surely do not want to be on the receiving end of it :) She can be a very private person when she wants to. But then who doesn’t love that guessing game where you have no clue why the other person has suddenly gone off the radar! :D:D She is a confident person with a problem-solver attitude and a true friend you can always count on.

With a genuine heart, that eternal enthusiasm and a plethora of talent, Nikita you have a wonderful career ahead and a lifetime of happiness awaiting you. I will always cherish all those moments we spent together. Don’t even dare change the way you are, it makes you really special! Take Care....PIYUSH ANAND SRIVASTAVA

An allrounder for sure - be it sports(champ of badminton, squash, TT etc etc), dance (amazing to watch her dance in DJ parties.. she is a life of DJ parties), travelling, making friends and networking or studies (thoda sa jhuth bas here and there) .. . A cheerful gal and a wonderful person to have on your friend list .. . One gal on campus whose FB likes will grow exponentially ... so no need to say that the most loved gal on campus.. . ) .. .Love-Life partner of Shelly Pareek .. .. Never seen them apart either in campus or on their Euro trip .. Common break up gals.. Both of you can get good guys definitely :P... Personally she has been a very good friend .. . very good natured and will talk in such a manner that will light up the whole mood .. . Got a chance to meet your family on dinner at your home during Rajasthan trip... Really enjoyed the company and conversation with your family. A warm welcome and wonderful food.. The best part of the trip and certainly it couldn’t have ended in a better manner .. . Stay same and you will conquer all heights in life that you want to .. Keep enjoying and keep rocking..

Stay in touch!...ASHWANI KANSAL

In this crowd full of globe-al abilities, Nikita stands as a genuine person

who can talk straight about her thoughts. Her originality in terms of ideas and the way she delivers them is what fascinates me the most. I will fondly remember the experience of working with you in FMCG course. I have absolutely no doubt that you would have a great career ahead of you :)...

Parag Jain

Nikitaâ?¦it really feels good that I had someone at IIM Indore who was from the same graduation college I came from. We didnâ??t know each other much in GIT but these 2 years at Planet-I, I got to know you better. Really like your jolly nature, smiling face and positive attitude. An allrounder person, excellent in everything â?? studies, sports, dance, ramp walk and the list goes on. I initially used to feel very awkward when you called me â??Akanksha Bossâ?? in front of everyone..:P, good that you have left that habit. Still remember our journey together from Indore to Jaipur (that too without a confirmed ticket..:D) and all the fun we had.

Will not forget the time and memories we have shared together. I hope you remember that you once complimented me about my way of talking and said that you can go on talking to me endlessly..So now you have to make sure that you be in contact and keep calling me to hear me talk..:P. Do keep in touch..Will miss you..:)..Wish you good luck for your future!!...

AKANKSHA VYAS

Aaauuunnntyyyyy, what to write about you yaar, the first group mate who always had excuses and thought the best line in a discussion was “chalo ho gya to mai jau” :P. You are one of the most straight forward person I have ever met and who plays badminton but cribs about making her run so much :P. It was an exciting 1st term and since then we haven’t talked much with just the casual hi’s and hello’s but would play as a good sport whenever I would call you aunty and still smile which is the best part about you. Hoping to meet you again. Wish you ATB and hope you always keep smiling and have the innocence intact and stop being an aunty :P ...HARSH RAJ

nikita babes :) I can still remember we first met during PT classes and I had never imagined back then that one day we would be best friends.

I don’t think I have met a person with a heart of gold and so full of life always who can take on every challenge in life with so much coolness.

Describing you and how much you mean to me is really impossible in such short space...you always bring a smile to people’s faces and spread happiness everywhere you go...you have aIways cheered me up whenever I was a little low. It is really a pleasure to have a friend who is equally

adventurous and who can take fun so seriously :D. There have been so many memories which I am going to cherish all my life-- that night out at the railway station after watching SOTY- when we played truth or dare:P , going to sirvel during RIP and then that journey from sirvel to khargone, playing table tennis non-stop at odd hours, working out together, laughing at the silliest of jokes, non stop gossiping sessions, watching movies. shelly teaching us economics and we still screwing up the paper. Could connect to you even more because we dont know a shit about computers even after spending 4 years studying it :P...

It’s so strange that you wanted to be like me and I wanted to be like you, but now when I think of it , I guess we can just be ourselves and just be together cause we just complement each other. You have all the qualities of reaching the top and I know you will reach heights one day...Wish you all the happiness in life ! And main to picha chodne vali nahi hun...kyunki abhi bahut sari masti karni baki hai.. Keep smiling always... Love forever :) ...POONAM VERMA

Anyone who tries to picture you would inevitably think of this extremely pretty, super friendly girl who is always smiling :) I would never forget all the strategies you came up with the day we got placed. They were completely hilarious and didn’t really give me time to get tensed or nervous :D Stay your smiling self always. Wish you all the best for your future :)...SONIKA KHURANA

One random girl, just in time for class, sits next to me and asks a curious question, “Am I at the right place?” Yes, Ms. Nikita you are deservingly at the right place. And there begins the roller coaster ride of random jokes and loads of fun. Always in the limelight for the beauty, there is an underlying genuineness that brings the best in you. The confidence with which you carry yourself is commendable. To my Kite flying buddy, wishing you the very best!...Rishabh Trivedi

Nikita...Fun loving and chillll :) :) .. these are the words that come to my mind for you. Fellow Jaipurite.. keep chllin and smiling :) best wishes for your career ahead! Keep in touch :)...ANIMA SHARMA

Nikita, my first friend in IIM Indore, Group mate in 2 terms, Exchange partner, Cooking guide, Hindi tutor.....!!! I still remember u in pink tops, the first day in Micro-economics class (but u were little thin that day :P). U have always been my good friend from that day..... :) Right from then, we have shared a lot in this 2 years of IIM.... You have always

showered ur pretty smile all around the places u go... The most memorable part is of course our Exchange :) Watta Trip :) Me and Rahul would have fought with cooking, if u and Shelly were not der.....

Take care...!!! Dont forget ur promise to Visit Coimbatore...!!! ...T.S.MOHAN KUMAR

You were the only girl I guess whom I knew even before I came to Inodre, we met for interviews before... after that it was a hide & seek game I suppose.. Section timings have not been much helpful and A HUGE FAN Following you got has kinda left me at knowing you to some extent only (Shelly chode tab na.. :P)... baki seriously yar matlab kahan kahan tera discussion nai hota.. ladko ki aisi taisi kar rkhi hai tune... Laavanya & Lasya - you were fab in both.. Exchange was an awesum time as well (Pics dekh ke hi pta chala...khud to tu mili nai)... I hope my advice during Internship in Gurgaon was a bit helpful... I am always here if you need me... stay in touch... baksh dena ladko ko ab to :P :P ...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

You are the boldest girl i have ever met. You can say anything in front of anyone without even thinking twice. I can never forget RIP trip where we all bonded so well. You always carry a smile in your face and i have never seen you tense. You enjoy life at its fullest and i hope you will continue this way always. Keep in touch. All the best.....SUMIT SWARNKAR

Nikita is an absolutely bindaas girl, very sporty and vocal about what she feels..Mostly found dozing off in class and then when a prof would ask her something, she would randomly say something and get through! However, she went viral for her FMCG class CPs! Her company is fun to be with. All the best. :)...PARAG PODDAR

The beauty of our campus..its amazing how effortlessly you look so pretty..but the most amazing quality about you is your bindaas attitude, ever ready laughter and insane love for sports...I have never seen any other girl who loves sports so much!! Whenever I am with you I have to have fun and laugh ...you have this incredible way of saying simple things which make me laugh..I will never forget how you made that french braid for me, nor the masti we ve done in ENV classes or the random chit chats

in my room, looking ofr clothes during Laavanya, new year;s eve together... its great knowing you and do keep in touch....all the best girl :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Niks is easily one of the most beautiful persons in campus and I am saying this not just because of your looks :P ..She was my neighbor for the full first year...She is used to be just in time for the morning classes with her mouth full from breakfast almost everyday :) :P It was great to sit beside someone who loved talking as well in class.. I remember playing cards , name place animal things and some another random games in class with you :P I am amazed by your sporting abilities and you are a very friendly, bold and confident person. I wish you a wonderful career ahead and keep smiling and keep rocking :) :) ...UDIT BOKARIA

Nikitaâ?¦you are the girl who likes to live life on your own term. Fearless, bold and sportyâ?¦.kabhie kissi ki baat na sunne wali :P You are a great sportsperson although you play bad TT I know you rock in Badminton and in squash( I have seen you play and was amazed by your agility). Padhai se door bhagne wali :P but pata nahin you always scored good marksâ?¦.I wish our friendship continues in Bangalore and beyondâ?¦.All the best for your future life ahead....ABHIKET GAURAV

Nikkiii...a hottie-hottie bubbly gal at IIM-I...I have never seen her tensed and she doesn’t allow people around her to get tensed :) ...always creates a lively atmosphere around her...she is a true sportsperson..always found playing, working out etc....but known for sleeping in class :P...Jokes apart, she is a really loving and caring friend who is always ready to help you...I would always remember the great time we had together be it DJ nights, our outings, going to mess or gossiping...it was great to be in your company anytime...wishing u luck for the future...stay blessed n keep in touch :) :*...KIRTI SONI

Nikita - If you find her, make friends with her and stay friends with her. An amazing person, very down to earth. She is an genuine as people come by. Worked with her in group assignments. Never shows up. Thats okay.

No one ever says anything to her. Thats her charm :) She’s someone who has a lasting impression on you. Always amazing to see her pictures on facebook. Regret not getting to know her better. For what its worth Nikita, sorry for the 70 k of SABMiller. Keep smiling. All the best. Luv :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Nikita! If you are in her vicinity there is a fair chance you will notice her aaram se considering how charming this girl is and God only knows with the kind of attention she receives (Facebook pics are a fair proof, haha).

Met her through Shelly and I am glad I did. I have only seen her smiling, not once in a bad/foul mood, she comes near you and spreads happiness, such is the aura of this girl. You are Shelly are like absolute soulmates, aur ab toh Bangalore main hi rehna hai! :P All the very best for Puravankara, I know you’ll do brilliantly for yourself in years to come. Stay in touch :)...

VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

A cute bubbly girl...always in a hurry of doing things....nice working with you in MOS simulations...where you would say...”daal do kuch bhi values” and just allow me to put anything....keep laughing.....All the best in life!!!!...ANSHU KUMAR

Ladies and Gents beware...this ain’t another pretty face coz this one hides a firebrand beneath! Nikita is an extremely likable, humble being who speaks her mind! So very beautiful but extremely tough as a girl! A brilliant sportsperson, her humor is one of perfect timing! She blazes through interactions with an infectious spirit! And then she is so friendly as well!

Perfect girls do exist :)...MONAMI BAGCHI

Always smiling and cheerful, when you know you aren’t done with the assignments or preparations for the quizzes..you will breathe in a sense of relief because this girl will comfort you by being your partner in crime :D Haha!! I wonder how you always are such a sweetheart.. remain carefree and yet manage to do all the things..:) The DJ nights, when we dance so hard will always be missed :) The kind of aura you create by making others feel absolutely comfortable in your presence makes you such an adorable person..the first time we met on campus.. and it felt as if we had known each other since ages. Such a lovely person you are..beautiful inside and out. Stay this amazing lady! Way to go..and we will be touch always :) Love..:* ...SURBHI SONI

Nikita, YOU ROCK AS A REAL MODEL!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Nikita.. the funniest part about meeting you was that my mom introduced me to you..after just a few minutes of talking to you she told me “Beta I know this girl from Jaipur..do meet her..she’s really nice” as if she had known you from ages! :-P But yes, now I can definitely agree with her on your niceness quotient! :-) You’re a really sweet gal and a great neighbour to have! Kabhi bhi..kuch bhi chahiye ho, toh I know I can approach u without any second thoughts :-) I still remember how you were there for me when I badly used to miss home in term one.. it was greatly comforting to have you around :-) And not to forget that night after the end of first year, when we had to vacate our rooms.. kya mastt packing ki thi hum logon ne! :-P Well.. it’s been great knowing you and I can only wish the best for you in life! Good Luck for all your future endeavours! Keep smiling and keep in touch :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

I’m not going to write anything in french cs mine was too bad always.

Nikita, one of the first few friends at campus, surely the one my parents love :D Laavanya dressing time was so super :D had to fit u in my dresses hehe :D You are one beautiful lady, very young and lively at heart. Il always remember how you were so brave to click pictures of those rats in my room! :D Ekdum Dabangg hai tu...and just be like this always :D Ab bangalore me bohot fun karenge :D :* Wish you lots of happiness and success :D :*...PALAK MAHANOT

I NIYAT ALA N HU W HUNJ

J

1990 ! Wrong DOB. Although I forgot your Birthday both the years, I am quite sure that it can’t be 1990. When I first saw u in Term 1, u were a ‘cute little thing’ and u continue to remain so. Trust me its a compliment. You are sweet and friendly - isliye maza aata hein taang khichke :D. Its great that u don’t take offence, although I am sure that there came a brief spell where u did started taking a little offence; I did not care to stop - kya hein ..chocolate se mana lenge baad mein :P. Jokes apart, I believe u r quite mature in your own way and a very honest person - seedhi u know ! I wish u all the very best for your life ahead.

Keep Touch. Bhool Chook Maaf :) :) :)...AYUSH AGARWAL

Niyati, came to know her through the umpteen group assignments that we did!. The first thing you would notice about her is the evergreen smile on her face. Very sincere & hardworking person [Though would find it very amusing when many times she would call few hours before submission & ask what exactly she is supposed to do :p :p].

Glad to have a friend like you, Wishing you all the very best for future :-) ....PANKAJ DHINGRA

Big things come in small packages, this is very true for this tiny little creature. I remember the first time I saw you was outside the hostel office where you were all lost trying to arrange your documents. Since then not much has changed. Every time I see you, you are always preoccupied and confused and have so much to do. And still you are one of the few people who have managed work and fun well on this campus. It is always great hanging out with you. Cant forget your epic “Next Himakshi Gupta” and other monju quotes.And also your brilliant ideas like selling chocolate balls at pi shop. I am glad you didnt actually pursue it :P With your dedication and charm, I am sure you will

do great in your professional life. Wishing you lots of love and luck :)...

HIMAKSHI GUPTA

I would begin with the same quote that I use often for her... Niyati.. Perfect example of ‘Simplicity’ :D:):P A girl whom I admire for her determination and perseverance. The Philips Nationalist & Campus Winner and PepsiCo Challenge Campus Winner and what not.. You name the competition and she has excelled in all of them :) Your work speaks a lot about you. When others were worrying about the placements, one girl was concentrating on the PepsiCo Challenge because she has committed herself and her team for that challenge. Its actually a big thing and takes a lot of courage to stand by your commitments/team in testing times and you certainly have done that without a miss. :D Hats-off to you! But under this strong and determined person, there lies a very soft sweet and childish girl whom I consider as my younger sister. :) I really like the way you put your opinion in front of others and the way you slam when the need be. One such incident Vikalp and I have witnessed (witnessed? Actually experienced) which brings a smile on my face as soon as I think of it. It was when you were telling that AMR is also important from interviews’ perspective and Vikalp and I reacted saying ‘naaah naaah, AMR? naheeee’ and then the way you retorted saying “Prakarsh, kabhi Inside IIM pe gaye bhee hoe? Inside IIM + Comaany Name + Interview Questions Google karo aur fhir baat karo :@”.. Ohh my my, I was seriously shocked; it was really fun to have that thrashing from you :) All the jokes that we have had together; the ‘Dustbin’ joke, the ‘Front line mein baithna and question poochna’ waala joke, ‘Saurish aur tumhara ladai hoe gaya kya’ wala joke, the ‘monjulika looking hairstyle’ waala joke, were actually fun! :D The special thing which You, Angad, Saloni and Monami did on 2013 Diwali was really very touching.. :) Thank you for that! It was great spending time with you all. I wish you all the luck, go and fhodo all the Vodafone records and make everyone proud! :) Stay in touch! :)...PRAKARSH AREN

I had met Niyati on the first DJ Night and since then we have been friends.

I have known her to take tension in very small things. â??Meine engineering hi karna chahiye theâ??, â?? CCD to bache jaate heinâ??, â??tumhara maatha kharaab haiâ??, are some of the dialogues which I will always remember. The times we spent playing cards, taboo, dance parties, and last but not the least- LUDO team would be incomplete without you. She has been very sweet and supposedly thanks to her I made to Marico. But it was good that I had her company during final placements. I am sure some day you will be marketing manager of some political party!! :p...

Variksh Thaker

They said leave the best for the last: so I left the best persons testimonial last. You’ve been my best friend on campus for the last 2 years.

You’re attitude towards life, the way you look at things and situations is just so different: if only I could do the same, I’d be a happier man.

You’re a chameleon in that you can adapt to absolutely any situation and handle it beautifully. You’re a real fighter. You never bow down to situations and I’ve seen you master your devils. Your little frame only does well to hide the extremely strong person behind it. In a few words, you are “chota packet, bada dhamaka” I really think you have grown amazingly over the last 2 years. I have seen you transform from an underperformer to an over-achiever. The last 2 years would never be the same. Thanks a lot for everything!!!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI Always bright & chirpy, you never cease to amaze everyone around you with the sparkle in your eyes! Bubbling with excitement ideas, an extremely talented sportswoman..and always smiling and spreading the cheer..wishing you a fabulous life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Hey, It was great fun sitting beside you for an entire year... though not without its risks with you either sleeping/ yawning/ eating/ messaging/ reading some other spiral and trying to hide it beneath your bag - in short doing most things sure to attract the Prof’s attention to our quiet little corner :P Not to forget your boombox of a voice and repulsion for quizzes :D ... Thanks for bearing with me for an entire year and even laughing at some of my PJs. I think PGPO seated us together so that some of your enthusiasm would rub off on me. Well i’m still as lazy as ever but you would surely go places. Wishing you the best for future..

Stay in touch :) ...ANUJA BHARGAVA

Niyati is one person i have always enjoyed talking to, she is fun and always brings a smile on my face.. I know i have teased you a lot :D and i appreciate that you have always taken things in a good way..

RIP would not have been fun without you.. I will always remember the dance you, I and Soham did :P.. tumhara hindi kaafi improve karne ka scope hain but then it will kill a lot of fun.. stay happy and keep smiling.. will stay in touch for sure.. Cheers :)...VARUN LAKRA

Niyati..The Energy Bomb in our little team. As Sumit used to say, the 3 of us complemented each other extraordinarily; especially your marketing gyaan, PR skills and some last minute kickass ppt. formatting that helped us have some modest achievements :) . I would never forgot

the kind of hard work you, 2, put while I was busy enjoying Europe. I’m sure you would enjoy working at Vodafone and judging by the extremely busy schedule you maintained here (competitions, PORS, parties :p), it would be a cakewalk for you. Wish you a ‘darun’ future ahead :)...PRAMIT PAL

Pretty eyes and lovely hair....IV was way to boring and dat female was way to irritating but ur kido acts made us laugh like hell....how u always made dem leave us early and that ppt u made for d last presentation....Thank u for introducing fresh fruit swirl and strawberry soft serve...Be always this childish and sweet..best of luck for d future ahead :)...VAISHALI SHARMA

Niyati... you are undoubtedly one of the cutest girls on campus. This tiny little thing who keeps jumping around on campus :D You might get all worried about little things but it is amazing how you take everything so seriously and put in so much hard work. You are this extremely sweet person who is always ‘Happy to Help” ;) Stay your chirpy self always.

Wish you all the best for your future :)...SONIKA KHURANA

Niyaaaaaati! :) - ‘Jhunjhun’, ‘Jhuna’, ‘Niya’ is by far one of my favorite people on campus, you can talk to her for hours and you won’t realise.

Her magnificent ‘monju’ laugh and hairdo are two of my favorite things on campus. Master of all trades, see her CV to make sure I am not lying.

The commitment you have shown in the past year, diligently participating (and winning) competitions throughout was astonishing - trust me, me and Prakarsh have always be in aww of that; ‘itni choti bacchi, poore time itni mehnat karti hai’. You cannot stay still, always have some work, some meeting to attend, some project to complete - that’s just affirms what I just wrote. Your little quips, be it ‘first line main baithke question poochna’ and “Saurish aur tumhara ladai ho gaya hai kya?”are stuff of legends (haha), Prakarsh has already mentioned but yes that ‘AMR’ waala remains our favorite and still makes us laugh as much as it did that day.

Fondly remember how worried you were before the placements began, and look what happened - Day 1 job - Nailed it + don’t forget Vodafone jaa ke pehla kaam IIM Indore ka internet connection thiik karwana hai. You take itna saara tension and always manage to ace everything you decide to put your finger on - that’s your best quality Aur chinta ki koi bat nahi hai Bombay mil jayega, nai toh do’t worry I’ll keep sending you pictures, hahaha! ;) Needless to say be in touch and all the very best for your future :)...VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

Niya-IIM I just can’t be imagined without you-I found a neighbour, a friend , a younger sister, an advisor, an ear to listen to, a supporter and the list

goes on! We met on day one and then we got the rooms next to each other-I can’t forget the early day so of Ayn Rand Discussions and philosophies and I felt like I saw a younger me,. We ve spent literally all of it with each other’s company- be it you waking me up for class, me asking the rajdhani express to slow down, the innumerous outings, dance and d**r* parties, the evolving friend circles, the fights.I ve seen you transform in these two years -it is admirable how u became one of the acheivers of our batch-it was sheer will, determination, grit and hardwork that you reached those heights # Respect The one thing I love (even when I hate it) is your frankness and no nonsense straightforward nature, I know you will say what you feel even if that is going to hurt -it is such a pleasant diversion from this hypocritical world. Niya you have also been the constant source of fun and entertainment be it the manju quotes, asking you to daato somebody, the one liners, the conspiracy theories, the wide eyed joy at exchanging gossip,the times we ve spent going out, partying, getting smashed and dancing our hearts out.! You are one girl who wants to acheive everything in life (Gordon gekko :P) and who pursues the job of having fun and trying everything with equal dedication. I don’t think I need to mention your competitions-u nailed em babe :) Trust me you are going to make it big and no one will ever after have the guts to say that you are shortcos your big deeds will keep their mouths shut! Lastly no matter what we will always be friends - Niya all the best for your future and a thank you for being there and thank you for teaching me how to take the lemons and making lemonade out of them, for standing up for myself and not letting things go and for your presence in my life! ...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

JhunJhun!!! The most adorable girl I met in Planet-I. This dynamite of a girl speaks faster than she eats or walks..and that is saying something considering she is Rajdhani Express!!So so talented when it comes to competitions and strategy...this girl is a true testimony to what determination, focus and sheer hard-work can bring about in a person! She has transformed from a capable fresher to someone who has constantly shone here! She has a distinctive tinkle of a laugh which will make everyone in her vicinity laugh. She is the innocent Jhunjhuna who will walk into a situation and calmly assess the same by asking Tumhara aur XYZ ka ladai ho gaya kya?Oh and did I mention you are a sports champ! The rowing championship!!And the basketball!Whoa!

I met my fellow pseudo-Bong from Bengal in that akela, lauta Indigo plane where I was ‘clueless about NPAD’ as you rightly put it! You are an amazing bundle of energy Niyati...even when you are in Mars and

not on Earth! It has been great working with you, listening to you and just being around you in general! I can count innumerable memories that enshrine what Niyati is in our minds..but I see that the fellow Rakshases have done it admirably! You are amazing ladki... Keep smiling..sometimes on cue...and Be the brilliant personality you are!...MONAMI BAGCHI

Jhunjhun..have known you since the very beginning of life at planet-I. You came across as a cute little sweet and bubbly gal with a beautiful smile :) Gradually I got to know the jhunjhun inside with so many things going on in her head all the time :P always busy with something or the other.. thinking of what next and how to do it.. I still remember all the phone calls when you just start of with the main point w/o any hi/hello but trust me even I have learnt a lil of that from you..which is required in our fast lives.. i remember you teaching me how to say a ‘NO” :D Can’t even forget ur hindi and ur justification “my likhit hindi is good..i scored 98 in hindi :D” but srsly even my hindi got affected a lil..i say “puchkas” instead of “golgappa” most of the time :D we have had some amazing times togetherDJ nights, balcony parties, random timepass, shopping sprees, gossips, discussions on some serious and some stupid stuff :D super awesome fun in Goa, HOP and the short visit to my hometown :) I still remember the happiness with a lil shock/surprise when both of us got our summer internship at Wipro :) Will always cherish and relish these memories :) You are smart with a clear focus of things you want from your life.. I’m sure you will do great in life ahead.. Stay happy and cheerful :) Stay blessed :)...POOJA JUGRAN

A very sweet and talented girl who has become a great friend in the last 1 year. Your sincerity, dedication and sportsmanship are truly admirable !! You were so worried prior to your placements but look at what all you achieved! You are a lot of fun to be with !! I remember the incident with the cranberry juice on New Year and the one at Go Bananas (Sayaji) where we had a great evening out! One day pakka we will go to RD and eat a lot !All the best for your stint with Vodafone and smile all the time!. ...SAURISH SUHAS JAGDALE

Niyateeee, your energy and enthusiasm in whatever you do is so infectious. It was superb working with you on Tapas and I know I gave you a drunk hug saying you are most amazing Live project partner. :P Well, I stick to my words even now and I am so glad that I got this opportunity to work with you and know you a little better. Do stay in touch. Cheers. :D ...SWATI VERMA

PD.....the formal wear man of Planet I...it is your distinct identity. I doubt whether I have seen you wearing a jeans...okk jokes apart you are a completely different person. Tere padhai ke bareme kya hi kehna...padhaku ladka...One thing anyone would say about you is the meticulousness shown by you for any task...your notes were very helpful ...and you were the last minute saviour for all our queries...thanks a lot for it bhai : ) . I enjoyed our fights on small topics be it related to studies or some other things...it was fun to tease you for some of your habits....Our Journey at IIM Indore was wonderful. Wish you all the best for your career !! Bhulna matt !!...ANIKET YEVALKAR

Pankaj Dhingra ~ a J-block Johnny.... One of my first friends on IIM campus...n also one of the most sincere guys at Planet-I. This guy would alert us of MT/ET exams even if they were a month away :P ....

No doubt exceptionally good in academics and extremely hard-working. I will definitely miss the unnecessary post-dinner ‘trips’ to PI-shop (that too daily :P ) You are one guy who would take any prank played on u in good spirits....I really appreciate this quality of yours as very few people possess it..I will remember the funny nicknames you gave to Chitresh, Kamra, Hitesh....!! I wish u all the luck,success n happiness in life......n do kip in touch .....Cheers!!!! ...KARAN RATHOD

Cogni Consultant Chadha - the hunk, stud, bond, casanova of Planet-I :D You were one of the rare few people here who studied each and every course with equal sincerity. Even though I may tease you about it, its an aspect of you I truly respect. One to start worrying about exams the moment they were announced, and completing assignments even before they were assigned :D. Even though I’m always pulling

your leg, you always take it the right way. And I still hope you would reveal to me the secret recipe of that pi-shop cake, and also hope to see you some day wearing jeans. The hard-work that you put in would surely take you to great heights. Best of luck :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

Dhingu!! the fashion icon of Planet-I. He is the kind of guy who can speak for hours on what’s happening in the country but is totally oblivious of everything on campus. Being tensed about not having something to be tensed about -> classic Pankaj. Teasing you has easily been half of my conversations with you ..ohh the fun that I had. But it’s ok, even you never let a chance go by. I’ve always admired you for your sincerity towards studies and your willingness to help me with topics hours before the exams. I’ll miss the long post dinner walks, the unnecessary trips to pi shop (where u rarely bought anything) and the routine dinner mails. I cannot thank you enough for being a big part of my memorable stay at IIM Indore.

I wish you all the happiness and success in life and hope that life takes you places, cos lets be real...we all know how much of an enthusiastic traveller you are.. Keep in touch ..always!!...Chitresh Singh

His best 2 qualities: upfront and straightforward. No fuss and beating around the bush. The best guy to be around when you want an honest feedback about yourself.Always giving specific CPs and valid points...no globing. Have had some great assignment experiences with him...loved the way he got pissed off when someone freerode :P ....On a more personal note, I always thought of him as an undercover CID officer...I wonder whether he wears formals even when he goes to sleep :) Hope to meet u again in ur best health and spirit. All the best for your future :)...

SUMIT KUMAR PRAMANIK

He is known for his resemblance with Shahrukh Khan (Rabne bana di Jodi..:P).We could hear the song “tujh me rba dikta hein” coming from his room quite often.Looks like he is very proud of that resemblance :P.He wears formals even for a night journey whose favourite pass time is watching parliament TV.He is very intelligent and hardworking. He is one of the few in the campus who is willing to help even at time of the last minute preparation for an exam.Wish you all the best :-)...ALI MONISH P E

One of the most hatke guys you will meet....he wears formals everyday to class, wears the same vest for sleep every day :P, chants hymns while taking shower....the list goes on. One of your admirable aspects is your ability of being straightforward all the time - like “I don’t give a damn to

what XYZ says” - something which I share with you :) On the other hand you were always there to give me last minute tips....no matter how late I asked you. Loved locking you up in your room for a whole night :P Wishing you a successful life and hope we stay in touch...

MAINAK BHOWMIK

Pankaj is one of the most dedicated persons that I have seen on this campus..so dedicated that he would finish every assignment within 2 hours of being declared :P, as a result everyone in his group saw him as a blessing in disguise :D..a very hardworking guy and my team mate in numerous groups during my stay here.. it was wonderful being in your team and sharing the same section at IIM :D All the best for your future endeavours which we all know you are going to rock at because of your perseverance.. Keep in touch! :)...NIYATI JHUNJHUNWALA Pankaj Dhingra, my irritating friend, but still a friend. Had great times with you at HOP, and of course discussing academics and assignments and quizzes and studies. Very hard working and dedicated person, but yet witty and smart at times. Best wishes for the journey ahead, keep in touch !...S NITISH SIVARAMAKRISHNAN

We were group mates in the first term for IV and now in the last term for this never ending subject called ESIS (there was one MCDM in between but that doesn’t count as work :P ). It was nice to have someone in the group who was even more worried than me about the submissions :P and who would send the assignment mail before i could get around to writing it. You must be an inquisitive person because you have a never ending quota of questions with you. Every ‘after-class’or offline discussion with a Prof would find you as a participant. You have a keen eye for detail and would not let go till the work is to your satisfaction (i’m referring to the ESIS ppt :P ). But with you in the group one can rest assured that things will be completed on time. Wishing you the best for future.. Keep in touch!...ANUJA BHARGAVA

Pankaj is a very hardworking and focused guy. I tried distracting him many time but Alas, every time I failed. He is the only guy who is so involved in to studies that he can actually predict what may come in quiz and it did turn out many times. He is very helpful too. Though he may say no at first but if he sees that you are in trouble he will definitely come to rescue you. About group assignment, he himself can do the entire groups work but he let other do it. In a nutshell he is no

nonsense guy. He is highly focused��� I am pretty sure one day he will be one among the illustrious alumnus of IIM Indore � All the best for the future bhai ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

Pankazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzâ?¦Sharukh of Rabb ne bana di jodi, Bhai tu mast hai, u live at ur own pace. A look at him (always nicely dressed in formals )will tell u that he is sincere, studious, hardworking and a through gentleman. I remember ur vivid views about our country and other stuff.

Will always hate u for the name uâ??ve given me â??Tara-Sitaraâ?? I seriously hope to see you in jeans when we meet outside the campus :P Good luck for ur future and i am sure u’ll wooo a lot of girls at Cogni ;-) :P ...TARANDEEP SINGH

A straight forward person, we started our journey as IV members, the first thing we did together was exchange of arguments between us about IV group scheduling. It was very difficult to convince you as you were hell bent at your point. Rest has been a very smooth ride, we worked in many groups together and i really enjoyed working with you as it was very difficult to find someone who believes in doing work before deadlines ears.... very hard working...keep it up and please try some jeans before leaving campus :D...SANJEEV KUMAR

Pankaj! A Good guy and very hard working. Had loads of fun at RIP with you. The fact that we had to collectively do a part of the RIP report and you took it upon yourself to finish it so that I won’t have to do it, was a great moment. Also, our uncommon mess interactions were good as well. Stay happy!...PRADEEP ROSHAN BARWA

If you want to understand the value of every minute and second, this is the guy. He always find something to work on or study and doesn’t likes to waste a single minute. Having him on in the team gave us the edge in finance during competitions and assignments....SUDEEP MOHAN M

Pankaazzzzzzz... the most hard working and smart Johnny... You are the epitome of sincerity.... tu unn logon mein se hai jo deadline ke bahut pehle se kaam shuru kar dete hain and complete everything on time :) ... Had some great times with you and shared a lot of laughs...and buy a pair of jeans soon and wear them :) ... I know you will do very well in your personal and professional life.... and stay in touchhh !!! :) ...SAURISH SUHAS JAGDALE

Dhingra! I used to get irritated when you asked to switch the fan off in class man! But I liked how you were very adjusting in the end, always! :D Your fantastic dedication to studies, though I felt you were sometimes over-cautious, was always an inspiration! We always used to crib about the free-rider problem... I could empathize very well with that! You respected other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time that way, something rare at IIMI, this is something I will remember as well :) Was good to note that you had relaxed a little in second year... Watch movies more man (youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how many so far? 4?? :P) and stay in touch! Wish you the best! ...Avinash Chidambar

DE DNYAN J A K PAN KOLTE

Pankaj was the best neighbor I could have had for the last 2 years.

I could just barge into his room at any hour and ask for whatever I wanted. I remember feeling very bad that our neighbors would change infront of one of our mutual friends in Mumbai, but it turned out that I was lucky enough to have him as my neighbour again. I always wondered how could he remain so calm at all points of time. Though we were Fin aspirants, we did our case preparation together, and I was quite happy to see you crack such a good company. I wish you had got placed in Mumbai too, but we ll definitely stay in touch :) ...Deepak Talluri Kolte (as you are fondly called) is someone who is very hard working and ambitious person. From being my junior at VJTI ( though we did not know each other much then), you became one of my first and close friends at IIM I. Still remember those QT sessions you took for Mate, Abhish and me :) apart from other fun times (weekend parties, RIP, etc) You always strive hard for achieving your goals and the results are for everyone to see (competitions, placements) !! I wish you always keep your this spirit up and go on miles to fulfil your ambitions!!

Have a great life ahead..itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting for you ;) cheers!...RAHUL YADAV

Pankaj, u were one of the few ppl with whom I had interacted well being a part of Stepcom.I am really very happy to have known you as a senior IT member and I should say that I have learnt a lot from you.You are a person who is very supportive and always ready to help. Thanks for all the memories :) I know that u r very hard working and I can assure u that there is a great future waiting for u :) I am sure that u ll succeed in all your endeavours:) All the very best:) Wish u all success

in life !!!! ...Iswarya Vinothini ...ISWARYA VINOTHINI J

Pankaj is someone I got to know in the third term when both of us were a part of the marketing simulation course. We all tried to figure out the simulation but we were at sixes and sevens. Came last in it and got horrific grades. But what I admired since then is his sincerity and drive. Come PGP2, we started interacting more because we were a part of the same committee. Teaming up with him for War Room meant working together at Tejasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room which was our conclave. One of the greatest things about Pankaj is how he can get people to rally for a cause-winning War Room being the one in this case. His drive and sincerity be it from making visits to Jalgaon for primary research or getting his friend to make a video for the finals bear ample testimony to his professionalism and focus. Going to Mumbai for the finals, staying in the Grand Hyatt (had to mention this :P) and being in the company of Utkarsh and Tejas was clearly one of the greatest memories of my time here. Still remember you being stressed when you got a S&O shortlist from Deloitte and you said that you had not even started preparing for finals. But you cracked it in the first shot itself which just goes to show your aptitude and ability. Have a rocking career ahead and be a stud consultant. Wish you loads of luck. Cheers!!!!!!...

SAYAN BAGCHI

My first impression was that kolte was one of the nerds in the class. But after getting to know him better i got to know that this guy is a blend of hard work and alot of fun. Iv had a few conversations regarding important stuff(not the usual bakkar) with him and each and everytime you realise how focussed, sharp and knowledgable he is. In 2nd year a got an opportunity to work with him and he did a really good job with the StepCom portal(the baby of our commiittee). Hes someone whose surely gonna make it big in life. his leavelheadedness, always inviting and helping nature and the parties will always stick with me. Wish you all the very best Kolte...Aaron DSouza

I have known Pankaj as being part of the Junior Student Exchange Committee and as a friend too. He has a positive attitude about everything in the life,which is difficult to find in these days. One can easily talk to him about anything and he is always fun to hang out with. All the stepcom parties and all the bakar we had on the way will definitely be remembered. I am sure,you will reach great heights in life. I wish you all the success in the future. Keep in touch and Cheers :) ...ANKIT GOYAL

Pankaj, youâ??re a great person to work with. Itâ??s been extremely inspiring to work with you in Stepcom. Lots to learn from your â??gogetterâ?? attitude! You are a big reason behind the portalâ??s success ï??Wish you many more achievements in life! Good luck ï??...RAKHI SHARMA

Bhai tum nahi hote toh yahan main kabhi acha nahi kar paata. didnt know you in college but yahan aake jo help mili hain, woh invaluable hain. Be in assignment or quizzes or anything you have given me tips which have made things so simple for me. You have always been on the forefront to help me out in any way possible. you gave me relevant contacts and right approach to being successful. Seriously i have no words for the amount of help i have received from you.

Keep being this awesome guys who helps selflessly and be there for juniors like us. I am happy that i got to know you :). all the best :)...

KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA

Pankaj, the consultant is known as â??Sukuâ?? in our circles as a mark of the effort he puts in teaching someone in particular. Also a part of the back benchers club, he impressed us with the preparation with which he comes to the class and the intent with which he takes copious notes in spite of the prevailing un-academic environment around him. He is the one who helped me the most during my preparations for the exchange programme, always ready to help in the best possible way he can. His sincerity and hard work is going to take him places (Bangalore eh?). Wish you all the best for a high flying career!...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

Pankaj Kolte eats dedication, sleeps dedication and breathes dedication. One of the most sincere guys of our batch, Pankaj is the epitome of grit and perseverance. No wonder Deloitte lapped him up as soon as they got the chance to. A fun person to be around, Pankaj is everready to help people around him. I wish we get more times to bond in the years to come. Wishing you a great life ahead! ...APAL

Kolte..if it wouldnâ??t have been for you I wouldnâ??t have passed a lot of courses in Planet-I. QT-1 for sure. I could see you pulling your hair teaching me QT, thanks bhai! All four of us had an awesome time in I block, then Guna, then C block. Your no-nonsense attitude and dedication to everything is just amazing. You were a very big helping hand when I was down and out during some portions of my stay here.

How did you stand through Mate and me for these two years? Ab toh tu kaise bhi logon ke saath reh sakta hai bey! Delloite ka CEO ban, jaldi Mumbai shift ho fir majaich maja :)...Abhish Nair

Well, honestly, I will know far more about you in the coming years. But still, here it goes, Mature, poised, thoughtful, calm, and patient (despite what people generally tell you). He has this aura around him that gives the impression that he has the ability to handle everything, come what may!

And there is always this VJTI connect. Stay the way you are Pankajâ?¦Wish you all the best in life!...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

Kolte!!! The uncle of the group!!! (I know you just called me F**k*r, but that’s ok :P) I am always amazed at the amount of hard work you put in when you really set your mind to something! Your stories from VJTI, JPMC and RIP were always fun to listen to!! One of the most down-toearth persons, will always remember you for (grudgingly) taking up the mantle for becoming the expense manager of the HOP group!! :) Wishing you all the very best!! Keep in touch...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

Kolte Saahab... what can I say about you.. a true true Fin guy.. (who ends up in consulting :P) I was in awe in PGP1 to look at a guy who left JP Morgan to come to IIM Indore!! But we became good friends during group assignments.. when assignments were only an excuse to sit down and talk..You are always fun to hang out with.. and the one person who pushes me constantly to be more cheerful... thanks Kolte...had it not been for you, I wouldn’t have had all of the experience I’ve had here.. Real helpful guy..

Keep up the good work Bhai.. All the best...SAURABH KUNWAR

Leaving an organization like JPMC and opting for IIM Indore is a tough choice. That statement draws me to the qualities I have always liked about you-Courage and confidence. Summer Internship was something that didn’t go as planned. But, as destined, you landed in a profile and company that people would die for! All your dedication and hard work has paid off and now you can sit back and relax before getting into the grueling schedule again.One other thing about you is you live your life to the fullest.

You have always helped me out whenever I was in need and your advice on work and life has helped me a lot as a person. I hope all your dreams come true. We’ll always stay in touch....VEKHANDE AJINKYA KESHAV Samuel Kolte! Apart from being a great friend, he has been a guide and a mentor for me over the last two years. He would always share interest-

ing stories (â??khup dhingana ghalaycho aamhiâ?? would be uttered in most of those), stemming from his years of experience :P. Always the serious guy in the group, it was a pleasant surprise when Kolte was a partner in crime in defiling someoneâ??s facebook page :D. His patience is unmatched and he can remain calm in any situation â?? a quality I admire greatly. Stay in touch Sir. Cheers....SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI

Kolte!! The father figure of group :P One of my good friends at IIM Indore, Pankaj is one dedicated and hard working guy (atleast in things that he deems important :D) His win at the Campus round of Mahindra and his placement at Deloitte consulting are all vindications of his effort and perseverance. We’ve had a memorable 2 years at Indore, though I guess you have had more fun at my expense! (Remember the FB prank! The mastermind Kolte! :P) All the best for your life ahead.

I am sure you will achieve all the success that you aim for! And of course, keep in touch!...ESHWAR M S

I first met him during the bakra interview....which was very hilarious totally. You are a very kind and down to earth person and a helpful person. Thanks for all the trouble i gave you... good luck :)...MAJUMDAR ARCHITA

Kolte! Mr sweetheart! You have always helped me with a cute smile on your face and treated me like a small kid.Before exchange also, you always helped me out and I would like to thank you for that. Its been amazing knowing you. WIsh you success and happiness for life :)...

PALAK MAHANOT

â??Kolteâ?? â?? serious yet fun! Meet him anywhere and the guy will give you his signature smile. Always ready to strike up a conversation about random topics, he is fun to hangout with. Serious about what he wants to do, he still manages not to be a nerd. You have places to go Kolte! Wish you all the best in life. Stay in touch :)...TRISHLA

Kolte was always seated in the same row as me in class. When I saw him participate in class discussions, it made me want to speak as well.

Everything he said was to-the-point and without embellishment and he was never afraid to challenge even what the professor was saying.

And why shouldn’t he? If most of the learning in class takes place from our peers, then Kolte was always a reservoir of knowledge, waiting to

be tapped - most of what I learned in any subject had a touch of Kolte in it. Keep enlightening the world man! Hope you’ll stay in touch :)...ANOORAG BISWAS

Kolte! Heâ??s an ideal mix of sheer cleverness, maturity, punctuality, commitment, fun and Bakar. Add on other such ideal words that come to your mind and he possesses it. A proper nerd, this was my first impression of him. He used to teach me, Abhish and Yadav QT, but useless, there was problem with us students. Uske level ke nahi the na!! He assumes different roles according to the situations. When you are in mood to party, heâ??d just be like a party animal that would need to be controlled a lot. Whenever we are in the face of adversity, heâ??d assume that fatherly role and advise us and guide us through. Otherwise heâ??d be his normal self, calm and composed. I have seen him through these roles and I really admire you, Kolte for that. Aur ha, isko aajkal dost sirf breakfast, lunch aur dinner ke waqt hi yaad aate hai. You see his whatsapp chat and youâ??d see just these three words, â??Breakfast??â?? â??Lunch?â??, â??Dinner?â??. Hahahaha. Weâ??re that inseperable group, you, me, Abhish and Yadav whoâ??d always be together in every frame. Hope we end up in the same location. Then jayenge teri BMW Audi-Madi-Behendi me ghumne. Cheers to life. Nevva say Goodbye!! :-D...Ankit Rajshekhar Mate

My innumerable attempts at catching the right pronunciation of your middle name have always made me wonder why so tough names! Fortunate to spend the entire PGP1 sitting adjacent in class, I met a guy who is a terrific package (and has grabbed one in the end - deloitte) professional by nature, simple by living, mature by thoughts, thorough with concepts and inspiring by nature (immense hardworking nature). You have always been patient in listening to my random chants and jokes despite you desperately wanting to hear what professor had to say. Interactions with you have no doubt given me glimpse into how to behave professionally in work environment and shall owe you forever for this. Two kinds of people make their way easily through anything â?? Intelligent and hardworking.

But when you have a combo they do extraordinary. Hereâ??s wishing you brightest of future and life ahead....PRATEEK JAIN

Prakarsh bhai :). Idk how to put our friendship into words but I hope you know that our friendship means a lot to me. You are the most selfless persons I have ever met. You have always helped out others with the kind of effort that people do not even put for themselves. You have been our saviour in all the problematic situations. I can’t forget the time spent with you. RIP, HOP, 50+ food outings, Cricket matches and what not?.. Remember that 500Rs. ka paan :D. Worth every penny spent right?.hehe. Not to forget you were my religious buddy in the campus. From Navaratre fasts to Late night Iskon temple visit :D. We had it all sir. Life without you here wouldn’t have been complete.

Delhi main milte rahiyo :). We should hold on to something this precious. Apni Shaadi main pakka bula lena :P. CitiBank main phod toh tu dega hai. But still, wish you all the happiness and good luck for your future :)...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

The first outing with PARIS founder and archangel Prakarsh was the movie cocktail, and boy did we have a cocktail(all figurative ofcourse)!

Always the big brother to me, he was the rock on which the institution of our friendship was built. I think the song which symbolizes Parakarsh is “Main hoon na”, for he’s always there standing up for his friends no matter what-be it getting in the face of the Director or coming to a verbal war with faculty, food stalls etc. An adarsh beta, he is at the zenith of humility and selflessness. Just the other day when I refused to take a cycle to Sports complex, he decided to take the long walk! Friends like him don’t come often but when they do, one should learn to ‘Chipkao them with Fevicol’.We have had moments of magic in numerous Dinner outings, Chappan and Sarrafa visits, RIP, HOP, ISKON, Movies(both indoor and outdoor) etc. I keep pulling your leg

about your ‘Not invited to Wedding list’ or your ‘Roka’ br your infatuation for SRK, but you never retort. Infact I have never seen you speaking ill about anyone. If there is a journey to the end of the world, I will be your comrade :)...APAL

Prakarsh there’s a feat in my life you own.You were the first person on campus my mom suggested to be friends with! Such is your charisma.

Someone once said about you ( the name whitewashed), “Prakarsh jahaan bhi hota hai captain hi hota hai!”Well despite that, what a humble person you’ve always been. There has to be something magical about you that makes people look up to you and want to have your back, always! The moments we’ve shared, the times we’ve spent in rooms, wings, corridors, villages, cricket grounds, mountains, buses, streets, are just so etched in memory they’re impossible to wipe off. From giving a Chunauti to Seniors to accepting a Chunauti from Juniors, from being in the same team to being fierce opponents, from being closest of friends to being the staunchest of SRK supporters, we’ve shared a lot of beautiful and lasting memories. PARIS will always be the most colorful dot of my IIM Indore Life! Cheers! ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Prakarsh!!! a.k.a praksaashhh...... an always smiling face..... Had a great time interacting with you and knowing you.... Still remember the first interaction we had RAMAYAN editing!!!... Still remember the face you made when Ashwini comes into my room and asked to reduce 3 minutes.... you were an amazing section CR, a great quality and none could have done justice to the role as you did... at-least as far as our section is concerned.... the smiley face turns into the angry man on the cricket field.. it always amazed me the way you took cricket that seriously!!! wish you all the happiness in life.... Cheers Brother!!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Prakarsh Or as I used to call him Mr Aren is the biggest SRK fan on campus. His passion for watching Bollywood movies is something I will remember for long ( Watching “Ramaiyya Vastavayya” in a Audi filled with only 7 people!! That takes lot of courage). He is also one of the smartest persons around. His knowledge in Marketing is admirable so is his skills in PPT and preparing reports. I also saw him play many sports like a pro.

He is one the persons who showcases multitude of talent. His communication skills with hand gestures trying to endorse his views was great to watch. Lastly he makes a great leader ( Dealing with random guys from PGP Office for two years being Class Rep is an achievement in itself..:P) All the best Yaar. I hope we will meet again somewhere (Maybe in a theat-

er). Stay in touch.!!...SUMANTH J

Prakarsh..U r a gem of a person.. very hardworking and dedicated..It was really fun working with u during first year in Acadcom..(although u used to pull my legs a lot..:P)...One thing I really liked about u was that u take ur work very seriously.. Wish u all the best for ur future and do keep in touch..To all the fun times that we had together..Cheers !!...

SOURABH BAGLA

‘Perfectionist’ is what comes to my mind when I think of you..the best CR that any class could have asked for with your creative birthday invitation mailers and extensions of deadlines....your frequent sarcastic comments at professors have also been very entertaining..it was only in the second year that I got to know you more closely and undoubtedly last few months have been the best days here with you guys.. spending time at auntyâ??s , 26 hills, night mess would be deeply missed..your frequent sarcastic comments at Saloni (not me :/) would also be missedâ?¦youâ??ve always been there for us like an elder brother when most of us would free-ride :P I totally adore your PPT and report making skills and have never seen anyone as good very honestly...you’re a very emotional person who makes all his friends feel family like.. you guys have been a family away from home! :’)...

We all know how good you are and you’re undoubtedly going to ROCK at Citi! :D So all the best for your future and all the best for DELHI most importantly! Miss us :) ...NIYATI JHUNJHUNWALA

Prakarsh .. you are the perfect Mumma’s boy which every parent would want their son to be like ..the perfect acha baccha .. i seriously can not figure out one single thing about you that is even slightly bad .. first yr me you were our wonderful CR who organised the talent nite, was s enthusiastic about every section person who stood for elections, sent colorful mails( u have excellent presentatin skills) for congratulating ppl and was obviously the best CR a class could have ( got the deadlines postponed :P).. have a knack of convincing ppl politely ( yaar aap samajh hi nhi rahe ho) and ur trademark way of doing your hair .. got to know you better in second yr .. someone who is always dere.. for his friends a die hard hindi film (SRK) fan .. i seriously admire this thing about you when u don’t care about what people think about your favorites you are just yourself .. a very enjoyable company .. always cracking jokes and creating a light atmosphere .. stay the same always .. wish you all the happiness and success in life .. keep in touch

Then during the CBN classes, I noticed the funny side of him and got to knw him more.. A romantic movie buff and a great ‘Shahrukh Khan’ fan.. I was actually surprised how can a boy adore sharukh so much..:P..Neverthless, given the kind of practical and disciplined guy u r Prakarsh, have no doubt tat u will b very successful in ur career, equally so in ur personal lyf.. Wishin u all d very best.. Stay in Touch!!!...SHETTI SRIDEVI ASHOK

Shakuniiiii...Narada Muni...Bade bhaiiya are few of the termsI have coined for you and not without a reason...i got to know as CR of the class (undoubtedly the best). I always felt you are a gem of a person who took our calls with patience, reminded us all birthdays, congratulated everybody, pushed for section F greatness and what not, but today I know you are a gem of a person! The last 4 terms have been mind blowing and amazingyour faces and comments (behind my back too :P) are entertaining, your love for movies (esp SRK), locve 26 hills (Malai Kofta), the Panner Chilli at 2 30 am, your ghatiya aadmi’s, pottty comments, taking super care of your hair, the fight with the diro unko bhi bol diya aap samajh hi nahi rahe ho yaar (damn i missed that one) are all memorable-you are one of a kind-slightly high context for me but that has taught me how to read between the lines-frankly I am surprised how we all got along considering our diametrically opposite behaviour and many differences in philosophy but it has been all amazing! You are very selfless and always concious of not hurting anybody’s feelings-be it something as small as giving me company for a movie when nobody was ready-you will always be movie buddy even when the whole group diches us! Thanks a lot for HOP and thanks a lot for teaching me som many things in your bade ba=haiya way :) :) Prakarsh there is this insane moral compass you have and its admirable how you stick to it! Your raavan laughter is one of the best cos it comes from the heart-i have seen this innocent and kiddish joy in you when you are having fun and it is one of the most precious things you have-all those who are part of your life are truly lucky and you will make a great family man! your hardwork perseverance (tho last minute uptil 5am

:P) is admirable-pass on some of those ppt making and report making skills, your small talk and convincing skills are just brilliant! God bless tumhein Citi sirf Dilli de....MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Prakarsh ! You are an extremely calm, patient and level headed person. And I have always admired that about you. I have never seen you get hyper or impatient. We have had so much fun together in the 1st year. The few acadcom outings we had were so much fun. You love pulling peoples leg and of course Bagla was targeted the most :P Also I really respect you for the way you supported me during the acadcom selection. I will always remember that :) Always stay this way and keep in touch :)...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

How do I even start chronicling the amazing memories I have shared with this guy? Had to start with the infamous Ramayan video where our CR sahab was a serious contender for the best actor award. Do you know I spent half my classes with Shelly...looking at people who sleep in class? I am yet to find someone who has mastered it as an art like you have..Well except Saloni maybe! It was in third term that I got to know you very well. Keep in mind that this was after the disaster that was RIP group selection. Over the next year I realise that he is probably the most grounded guy I have ever met in life...the kind of guy who makes you root for him in SRK movies! That being the best topic to talk to him ofcourse! I cannot even begin counting the number of days, evenings and nights spent in bakar and beech beech me some assignments also. Bigg Boss 7, FMCG assignment ka supplier visit (wink wink!) and 26 hills are recurring themes in the tapestry that is our friendship. Add to it elements like our summer internship...the chipkalis in your room and the inordinate time we spent as Dosa point/ Samosa point/Mess...and all the khyal that you kept humara throught HOP? oooh and the night outs in the tent...and there you have it...A heady cheers to a friendship that is special! You are in for huge trouble if you don’t invite us to your wedding...Ab dialogue matt dena ki - Tumko invitation nahi chahiye and all! :P Stay blessed dear!...MONAMI BAGCHI

I don’t how to start, where to start, what to say - I have been incredibly, incredibly lucky to have you by my side for the most part of 2 yrs, calling you just a friend will be stupid because you are family, yes. I will not change ONE thing, NOT A SINGLE THING over this period - that’s how good it has been. Won’t jot down incidents/recall memories because quite frankly there are just too many of them. You are the only person ever I have cried in front of aur woh bhi aansu waala rona (haha) so that speaks volumes in itself. Our wavelengths match, a bit too much, to an extent it annoys everyone. All I need is to indicate you a little and you’ll understand the entire thing while people around would still be wondering what the hell just happened? You have been like a big brother to me, who will take care, give advice, stand up to others and amongst all this maintain the little kid inside you who is ALWAYS ready to poke fun. YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE MAKING FUN OF OTHERS (something people aren’t aware of) - another reason why we bonded so well (haha). You placement (and especially Citi) was by far the happiest day for me on this campus. Seeing you teary eyed when I got placed really tore me up :’) and and and please college khatam ho raha now will you please admit that it was YOU who started with those whatsapp messages (baap re, i still have the proof btw :P) + I need to meet someone very important in Delhi and tell her everything before its too late :P (please arrange a meeting). Kuch bhi kaho watching Breaking Bad with you for 13 mins after that SRK tweet is my fav memory with you (hahahaha). There are soooo many other things I want to write about but space is a constraint. Chinta mat karna aur; Dilli main ‘chill’’ karenge kone main baith ke, bina ‘sea-face’ ke but we’ll manage ;).

Lastly, a big, big THANK YOU for existing, basically. It would have been impossible w/o you :) [and we are never talking about this testimonial please, okay?]...VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

Prakarsh..I would always like to tease you by saying “tumhara toh roka ho chuka hai na?” :-D .. it’s been a great experience working with and knowing you.. i had ever imagined we would become friends :-P (somehow u initially seemed to be someone who shied away from talking to girls)... from the retail banking project to utsaha to the RMS classes amd assignments.. it’s been pure fun interacting with you! each time we have talked, you have made me laugh a lot!! (even if it was by pulling my leg or linking me up with someone :-P) .. its great to have such lively people around.. and yes, hats off to your formatting skills and your creativity boss! had never thought that ur excellent aesthetic sense could make the crappy retail banking report look so good :-P (and even our utsaha stall for that matter).. tumhare saath baatein banane mein bahut mazza aata hai yar :-D

i hope weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay in touch and kissmat ne chaha to meet again in future :-) wishing you loads of luck and happiness for your future! keep smiling and take care :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Prakarsh you are the most creative and dedicated guy. During Utsaha, you always came up with solutions when we were in a fix, you pulled a huge crowd on the second day of Utsaha. All the kids in Janpav Kutti were in front of our stall to play the games :P. All the best for your career at Citibank :)...MOHITE SUMIT SHARAD

Prakarsh.. a great team player, I knew him when we played cricket at jblock corridor. A true sports person, full of energy, good batsman and above all a good human being, sincere and typical sharif ladka . Thoda jaldi emotional ho jata hai but thats the temperament that keeps him going and gives him strength. And also one of the best acadcomers :) always keep rocking buddy :) cheers...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

My Acadcom teammate at first and then a personal friend, my friendship with Prakarsh has come a long way!! I will always remember Prakarsh as friend who is in an eternal laughter mode!! Always cheerful and fun to be with :) If he gets one more person to gang up with him, then the rest of us can only pray to god he does not crack jokes on us! (Remember what hell you and Shankar made us go through! :P) Prakarsh is a sincere guy, who Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the pleasure working with in the team. His section would vouch for the amazing CR that he has been! Will never forget the numerous times we got the quizzes, assignments postponed! The excuses we can up with!! The Acadcom was what it was only because of the teammates I had. Will miss the two years at IIM Indore :) All the best for your life ahead! Do invite me to your wedding :P...ESHWAR M S

Anyways. You are a gem of a person. You respect everyone and are always polite. Something which is hard to find these days. :) I really enjoyed my stay here with you. From Tennis, Cricket, Even TT in 1st year to Paatal Pani, Jam Darwaza and the group outings :D I think we really had a good share of fun here :). Aap touch main toh rahoge. Itna bharosa toh kar sakte hai. Baaki I really hope wherever you end up in your life you do really well :). Good luck for your future bhai :) Always stay in touch....Ishan Rishabh Kansal

Feels weird to say, but I feel safe and secure in your company :) You carry an authority, an assurance that ‘Tu hai to I’ll be all right’. You are a great listener, the best friend a girl can get :P. We have had some great times @ Planet I and whenever I reflect on them, a feeling of warmth and happiness sweeps through me. Be it accompanying me to night mess @ 4 am or making an impromptu movie plan or even doing a boring assignment, you’re always the first one to say ‘Yes’. I’ll miss our TT Battles, Zataka days, Term 3 ki bakar @ my room, outing plans and your music collection. Ab aap Kanpur wale ho I don’t need to ask you to stay in touch. After all, Bihari-Kanpuri bhai bhai. Keep smiling :) ...APAL To summarize my group at IIM-I, I just need to say “The Prakhars”.

Well, it all started even before entering the campus, umm.. in the train

side upper berth - finding you completing your NPAD. And today, I am proud to say that there have been a very few groups stand still till date right from the beginning and one is ours. The reason, ofcourse, is you.

You know how to value friendship, how to treat friends. Although I still find you very mysterious, there are many things which I don’t know about you while others know it, but I never felt to ask you - just because jo batana hoga wo tum khud hi bata doge.. It feels nice in your company as kaafi apna sa lagta hai.. We missed out on RIP but made amends on HOP. Things I will remember for sure is watching WWE matches together, always finding something to eat in your room, trips to city, cricket during the last days, and of course, 4-player reactor ;) And yes, this guy has the cleanest room I have ever seen in the hostel :P Bhai always be like this, may you find a lot of happiness and success in your life....VAIBHAV JAIN

Prakhar bhai ki ek cheez kabhi nahi bhoolonga...wo hai inka can-do-attitude....kuch bhi pooch lo...no matter how stupid...he will give u company and say yes with his famous smile and the words “haan kar lete hai”. Its very difficult that u find a brother in ur friend...aur actually he is more close to me than my real brother...koi problem ho koi tension ho..ye sunne ko teyaar hote hai (but thode idealist hai :P). He is the most politically and practically correct person i have met...friends banane mai PHD. prapt kar chuke hai...shayad hi koi inka friend hoga jo inke touch mai na ho....Ye gaali bhi dete hai to kya ishtyle se (aakhir Kanpur se hai bhai :P). Indore marathon daudne ki sochi to kya style se poori ki (aake tennis tak khel liye)...kya naagin dance karte hai (have some really embarrassing pics of u :P)....poore college mai inse zyada assignments kissi ne nahi kiya (saala jab dekho laptop utha ke ghoomte hai :P)....raat ke 4 baje bhi knock karo to apni chair pe bethe milte hai....is the most organised guy on campus (kya room hai!!).....we had some great memories at RIP, HOP (it was really fortunate to be with u on both), pataal pani trip and so many more...i can write pages about you bhai...lekin finally ek hi baat kahunga....i love u bro...u r the best brother and a friend anyone can have...Tu jaha jayega, jo karega best karega....hopefully saath rahenge aur watt laga denge duniya ki...Good luck in life :)...PUNIT GUPTA

Nicest, Kindest, Noblest, Most helpful guy on campus....He is the friend you would love to have.....Though I haven’t been very close to him, but it’s easy to gauge this. Kitne jano ki birthdays celebrate hi nahi hoti campus mein had Prakhar and Aaron kept track...I have never seen the smile leave his face, not once have I seen him flustered....Really enjoyed the Paatal-Pani trip, the cricket and tennis sessions, the dance parties at

your room....One look at his room and you could infer a lot about Prakhar....It was great knowing you, bro. Wish you all the success in life....

Stay in touch :)...RUDRASHIS ROY

You are a really good person and more importantly this is not just my perspectiveâ?¦ Anyone acquainted with you knows how helpful and friendly you areâ?¦ Journey for us started right from the train prior to coming on campus: you, me and Vaibhavâ?¦ The three of us participating and winning events; the Scarlet; Movie in hospital; Night mess;Patal Lok par bakar...and from the recent times: 3 player reactor; cricketâ?¦.. You stayed overnight for my second hospital visit even during the cold Januaryâ?¦ BDay celebrations in your room during 1st yearâ?¦.HOP par nahi gaye to kya hua; yahan har din HOP bana dete hainâ?¦ And now the most differentiating point for you from other guys: Your room is so cleanâ?¦ Kisi bhi time jao, room to saaf hi milegaâ?¦ baaki Kanpur lucknow to agal bagal hain; to will always keep in touchâ?¦ wishing you all the success in lifeâ?¦.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL Prakhar Katiyar is our very own Kanpuriya idol and I guess that’s the reason we share a special bond :P He is indisputably the sweetest guy I have met in this campus. His calm demeanor makes me feel as if he has achieved ‘niravana’ â?? 2 years and I have never seen him angry or even a little agitated! Always with a smile on his face, I doubt if this guy can ever say a no! He is the one who initiates all the plans and makes sure that everyone joins. Most of the times his room becomes the meeting point. And why not! I have hardly seen a room as clean as his :) (where I make fun of his ‘trespassers’ poster almost always) And how can I forget his horror stories! (I absolutely love them and remember, I am taking you to the morgue behind I block :D) You are gem of a person Prakhar. Stay in touch! All the best :) ...TRISHLA

He’s one of the sweetest person I know. It’s rare to come across people like him. His never-say-no attitude and an always smiling face are few of the many things which will impress you. He is very caring and understanding, in short, a gem of a person. If truly selfless deeds do exist, Prakhar would be the perfect brand ambassador for them. Though our ideologies differ somewhat, you always open heartedly accept the difference. I am honoured to have a friend like you. Never ever change.

Wish you a great life ahead! :)...RAJNI RANJAN Humblest of humble! A person who can makes friends for lifetime

even in his first encounter. Most admirable thing about you is your ability to make people so comfortable and at ease around you. You are a person with golden heart, which is a little rare to find these days. I will always remember how we used order dinner from dosa point at your room and watch sarabhai vs sarabhai. How neat and tidy your room used to be and how you were such nice host! :D Also, your craze for trance music and you trial to persuade others to admire it too. Glad that I know you and that I am counted among your friends. Although we couldnâ??t spend much time together, whatever time we had is very valuable. All the very best for your future endeavorsâ?¦do keep in touch :)...SONICA GUPTA

â??The fairer sex - our weakness, but Prakharâ??s strengthâ?? â?? overheard during a conversation prior to placements. If there is someone whom every guy/girl loves on campus â?? he is Prakhar, the Bro of Bros.

The go-to-man for any of the mortal lifeâ??s troubles â?? he is always there when you need him. However, very few have seen the lover boy side of him. He is too risk averse to take the leap of faith. However, I hope he does and does it soon! This guy also has some really good tolerance â?? for alcohol and other intoxicating substances. Never really says a no to partying (at the time of writing this, he just agreed to come to RD in spite of having more pressing issues to deal with). And yes, having Prakharâ??s name on the guest list serves as a signaling mechanism to others. The commitment Prakhar shows to work is worth notingâ?? I shamefully free rided in the 2nd term when I was in Prakharâ??s group while he worked his ass off. I am sure he will excel in professional and personal life alike.

Closing this with a song very close to your heart - â??Sajni paas bulayo naaâ??. All the best! ...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

Prakhar!! Inke baare mein kya kahein, Ladka toh heera hai ;) with all that school boy looks ;) .. the most humble person I have met on campus, concerned for every other person.. very chilled-masti bhi kar lenge(kuch bhi ho jaye ,class mein BOLLYWOOD khela nai toh kya kiya attitude :P) aur kaam k kaam bhi. The event planner of all the outings and the initiator of each assignment. I just keep planning to start my work and there he is with all the work done, how do you do that dudeâ?¦ help me improve ;) pleaseee. All in all a great guy,I feel blessed to have come across such a wonderful person.. Keep in touch Prakhar:)...SUMITA KERKETTA

One hell of guys bhai bahut hi chilled out banda hai . Pure campus mein itnne bakar karne wala aapko kam hi log milega . my interaction with you may be less per jab bhi raha hai it was always fun to hang out . Good luck

:)...ANKUR JAIN

one of my first friends on campus thanks to bakra sessions..We together missed every deadline during the bakra session and got scolded together..tension-free guy and a down-to-earth person..our conversations goes for hours wenever we meet..I wish u all the happiness in lyf.. stay in touch man :) :)...VENKAT DUBASH. L

Gem of a person - thats all I can say about him.. Since the first term that we were group mates, to this day, when not a day passes when we don’t meet for a “sutta session”, the one thing that I can claim is constant in this world is Prakhar’s smile.. We’ve become such good friends over time, and you’ve helped me in so many ways Prakhar..

We may not have been to HOP or RIP together, but in terms of liking, you are definitely in my top 3 list.. You are a completely different person with some alcohol inside you, but friendly nonetheless..

You’re the only person who knows this about me- that even though I may want to sit and go out with you guys, I need someone to pull me out and remind me that its okay.. and you’ve been that person every single time.. I can’t imagine you with a sad face, or with a pensive look.. so don’t even think of turning sad in life.. that is one emotion which would never suit your personality.. You and me a alike in some sense, which comes as a hug relief to me... Your simplicity is your USP, and the reason why you have so many such good friends, when its difficult to find even one for other people.. So never let this go Prakhar... no matter what you do in life, and what you become... always nourish your simplicity.. I’ll really miss sitting down and talking to you Prakhar, throughout days and nights, and the sense of homeliness I find in your company... Have a gem of a life ahead Prakhar.. and don’t forget me :) ...SAURABH KUNWAR

Never before had I seen a person who is always so full of life and cheerful in moments of adversities which would make an ordinary guy give up. Kudos to your will power and determination to overpower difficult situations with ease, a quality rare to find. I have always tried (though unssuceesful) to emulate your habbit of keeping oneâ??s room spick and span, only to realize IF ONLY habbits could be copied. Various common assignments/projects have been successfully completed only because of your sheer ability to think logically even in mounting pressures when deadline is just round the corner. You were one of my very first friends on campus and since then had wished we

could have gone together on student exchange. Sitting in my room doing bakar in the garb of studying together, taking table tennis breaks of duration more than we actually studied, spontaneous listening to gangnum style songs endlessly are the moments most valuably cherished. Selfless commitment towards friends is your quality I deeply admire and would make efforts to imbibe. Wishing you lots of success in life. Stay in touch....

PRATEEK JAIN

In Indian families, there’s always that person who everyone runs to when he/she is in trouble, everyone loves and everyone looks for advice from.

He’s the mainstay of the family and things just won’t work without him.

You are that person to a lot of people on campus, including me. Prakhar you are one person who I have heard not one, not even one speak ill of.

So humble, calm and serene is your personality. To be loved by everyone, just everyone around you is more a work of art than a blessing. You possess that. Your helping nature, your sea-like absorbing power, your mainstay like stature is just inimitable. Such is your habit of being systematic with things that people flock your room just because sometimes they see more space. Keep at it Prakhar, and the world has a lot in store for you!...

SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Petu/Prakat/Showstopper.Just your name brings in thousands of good moments in my mind.Actually spent around a year or so with you as a friend and a younger sister, but I feel like I have known you since way longer a time. You keep sharing with me how much I mean to you and keep pampering me. But just like you got a small sis, I got an elder brother (not very mature though :P ) and I respect that. I might not share it often rather its needless to say that you are my support system, a great friend and someone whom I have a right on for my full life. Not many have seen the emotional side of you. I love that you open up with me and share things, which you donâ??t with others. You never got tired of taking care of me and talking to me anytime in the day or night whenever I needed some advice. You out of all have actually meant those lines-â?? Donâ??t look at the watch before calling meâ??. I still remember our fight during internship and how much it affected us. But I think only those people fight who care for each other. It was weird not talking to you. Itni nok jhok to chalti rehti hai. Waking each other up for classes, going for breky, Our one day out to city for shopping, watching youtube videos in your room (cleanest room amongst guys in our group ), the way newspapers are kept in your room, your black bag, mujhe zabardasti doctor ke paas lejana, and getting angry when I donâ??t eat ( that is everyday ) I am going to miss all

this big time after college.There are times when I act stupid and I am sorry for those times. I know I might not have been able to reciprocate how much you do for me, but be rest assured that your betu will never stop trying to make you ok. Sabse zyada breky pe miss karungi yaar!

But its not the end and Im not scared..I shall hopefully start eating a bit more and will remember you a lot P.S.- That orange green slinky in your room is mine before we leave campus! ...PALAK MAHANOT

Prakhar is very optimistic, cheerful, and chill person. The way he deals with challenges is very unique and superb. Our friendship got stronger from the time we started playing cricket in G-Block and I must tell you that you are good batsman and a good fielder. The way you motivated me before any placement process is very memorable and I cannot forget the laughter we used to have while waiting for our turns. Everytime I think of you it remind me the process of tokenization, stemming and tf-idf because I have used these words so many times in front of you.

I like your passion for the combination of Chai and Kachori, which you kind of developed in the very last days at IIM Indore. You are a very friendly and helping person. I wish I could have met you earlier and we could have shared some more times together. Best of luck for you bright future. Be in touch. You will be missed! ...KAUSHLENDRA KUMAR

those hangouts till late nights, those daru parties, those sutta times, the HOP days, those maggi times, the hostel cricket, the loooonnngggg hours of bakar will always be cherished for the rest of my life...he is probably the best person I can trust on in sharing my feelings and he will always have his shoulder for you...he is the universal friend, the trance-man, the always-have-food man...you will be missed a big time...yaad rakhna, you will always have my company in need...thank you for all the memories......ANIL KUMAR JALLY

Katiyar-The ‘Santa’! I really appreciate how you’ve always been ever-smiling. You are so tall!! One of the few people on campus I am intimidated by, when walking besides me ;) and I’ve caught you taking looong walks so often in the campus :D You are a simple and approachable friend! Wish you the brightest and most successful of times ahead! Stay in touch :)...Sneha Tyagi

A very simple and a caring person.. One of the few UP ka ladkas on our campus :P .. A person with whom you can have any random bakar and he would lend an ear to it with great patience.. Wish you a great life..

Do keep in touch forever :)...SUPRIYA THUKRAL

I donâ??t remember when I heard this, but it is the most appropriate thing I have ever heard about you- â??Batch ka Bhaiâ??. You are easily one of the most straight-forward and gentle persons I have ever met in my life.

Third term was an absolute delight working and being with you. You do have this supreme talent about you where you make the other person feel at ease with you almost instantaneously. One of the most selfless guys in the batch and a gem-of-a-being. You rightly said, we are now bonded by a common sis and are bound to meet many many times in future (because of her and independently as well). Never lose your true self â?? Ultimate respect for it!...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Prakahar aka Bakar aka Fucka etc etc is one of the most selfless guys that I have seen in my life. Just few hours back today, he was about to go submit the PM assignment but he ensured that he would wait for my completion (inspite of me coming wayy late because of AOE) without any fuss.

This is how I define Prakhar as. Again, I don’t remember how exactly we started talking but I am glad we did. All the assignments that we were part of in 2nd year were memorable because of the bakar involved for which this guy is ready all the time. He’s one of the persons who takes style very seriously and I am sure admonished me secretly for my shocking dressing style. He’ll think 5 times before buying slippers and shirts n so on but I do have to admit that he ends up making great fashionable choices. As a friend, he’s always there for you when you need him. He’s used my camera much better than I ever have or dream to so thanks for carrying that burden for me. :) I also feel that he’s got a certain soft spot for girls and will sometimes favor them over his friends :P. The official photographer during birthdays and one of the best drinking buddies - I had real fun over these 2 years. I wish you all the best for the future and hope that we can continue to stay in touch. :)...ARUP MANDAL

Whenever someone is asked to describe him in one word, the most common would be: Calmness. But let me tell you, he is one of the most badmash bachchas you can meet. One never knows what goes inside his still water surface. My partner in crime, masti and tp giri! He has tolerated all my phases: â?? I have loads of assignmentsâ?? phase, the â??I need me timeâ?? phase, â??I want to do pagalpantiâ?? phase, â??Mujhe late ho raha haiâ?? phase and finally the talli phase! He has taught me all the wrong things: words that I knew never existed, staying up late at night (You were the reason I broke my 10pm rule!), and ahem, other things that cannot be discussed on a public forum. But there was once factor that

remained constant throughout, trust. He is protective and possessive, but at the same time lets you fall and learn. He is this big, rugged, strong guy (and girls, I mean it in every sense) and at the same time defends the importance of laver le visage. A silly, stupid, idiotic guy with absolutely no chances of improvement. I guess I am the very few people in this campus who has seen all three: his pensiveness, his anger and his frustration. I have seen his every facet. And the most beautiful thing about this lad is that you can accept him, the way he is, in totality and be damn proud he is your friend. The long discussions, the late night fights, the non-conclusive philosophy talks, and the aimless walks: memories that I will always cherish. But dude, egg and milk drink is the worst thing I have ever had! ...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

Prakhar is truly one of the most simple, suljha hua and calm people that I know of :-) My first proper interaction with him happened during our second term, and I must thank the PGPO for having us in the same group!! If it hadn’t been for that, I would probably have missed out on having this gem of a person as my friend :-) He is someone who would never get tensed or worked up even in the most trying times.. you can approach him anytime, anywhere for any advice that you need! And mind you, his calmness does rub on to you.. which is a great help for ppl like me :-P I still remember going to him for studying for one of our QT exams and ofcourse, for his advice on whether I should go home for that family function! :-P (remember how confused I was! and it all seems so trivial now).. I have had some of my bestest conversations (especially about life and relationships :-P) with you at planet I and will cherish them for life :-) I wish you all the very best in life and hope that we’ll never lose touch..stay the same calm guy that you are, always!

Will miss you.. tc :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

My first real friend on campus however it took a few days to kick it off :P with this guy even though we sat besides each other in NC3. My fellow back bencher he has kept up the honour code(Back benchers no do CP). Prakhar is one of the sweetest, humble, calm, friendly people i know and youl not find some1 who cares more about his friends.

He cant see any1 around him sad and tries his best to put that smile which he sports so often onto their face. I remember Gangnam style before MAC End term, you, Prateek and me had enough of the balance sheets and just couldnt take it any more. My 1st year is so memorable because of you. we did almost everyting together. Mess, parties, Studies(attempt :P), and our never ending TT sessions- i enjoyed playing with you most becoz i rarely find some1 who plays the game so

similarly to me. His epic walk will always stand out in a crowd, that laid back, easy go style is hard to forget. We missed out on the RIP group but our HOP group was epic. I used to come to this guys room to study or do bakkar so often and always ended up snuggling in his blanket(alone, dont get any ideas), im sure his blanket has some super powers , used to put me to sleep each and every time. 2nd year was hard for both of us and i regret alot of things, us being not the same is one of the biggest regrets and i wish i could have changed that. But i hope we can put it in the past and get what we had back. I wish you all the very best. You shall get the best because you are well deserving and one of the best human beings i have come across...Aaron DSouza

Katiyar! by the looks of it even you seem that you would probably punch someone if he/she does make you angry but of course you are from Kanpur and Lucknow has had at least this much impact on you folks that you have also acquired some decency and modesty! Haha but on a more serious note, I think you have handled people really well, you have been there for a lot of people during difficult times (not me but others definitely) and I admire you for that.. I am sure I will bump into you sometime in Kanpur...

Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

What strikes you about Prakhar is the calm composure with that faint smile always intact :) That itself is a proxy to the kind of person he is. A humble and a gem of a person, Prakhar has been a great friend. We’ve had a lot of fun over the last two years, be it in class or section parties or the various times we’ve hung out! Be the same nice person I’ve come to know. All the very best for your life ahead! Do keep in touch!...ESHWAR M S

AY PRAN

TODI

One of the most genuine people that you can expect to find in this world. Fitness freak( although at the outset he might not look like one), huge huge Arsenal fan( if you are still an arsenal fan after the 9 trophyless years, you are surely an arsenal fan for life), and yeah amazingly intelligent as well. But, the reason why this guy is going to be immensely successful is his work ethic. If you combine his intelligence and work ethic, this is the best possible recipe for success. A great future lies in front of you. Have fun, live life in your terms.. Cheers !!!...

ARINDAM PAUL

IIM Indore has everything in abundance, so you can expect to find quite a few extremely talented people like Todi, but you would be hard pressed to find someone who is more efficient and humble than Pranay. I was really awestruck at how well he used to manage time. I was lucky enough to be in the same block as this stud in the 1st year. Come second year, it was Deal time, and though he wasnt there throughout the competition, we had great fun. Highlight of the year would still remain the 5-1 thrashing we gave him after all the trash talk the previous week :D Will continue this banter in DB office :) ...Deepak Talluri

It’s difficult to find a person who is as talented, interesting and sophisticated and at the same time as helpful and modest as Pranay.

One of the best things about him is that mediocrity is not in his dictionary. Whatever he does, he does it well; be it studying, watching documentaries (most of which would be fast forwarded for the sake of efficiency), or even gymming. In fact, even his advices are well researched! Thank you for so many things that I learned from you. It was an absolute pleasure knowing you. Stay blessed and stay the same,

always! ...RAJNI RANJAN

Todi!!! I got to know him really well during our exchange program at Frankfurt and boy, it wouldn’t have been fun without him. The guy is hardworking, diligent and fun-loving at the same time. Although I don’t agree to his ways of living, mostly food habits (remember saw dust biscuits :P).

Good at table tennis and not-so-good in FIFA :P. We share the same passion for football (although for rival clubs :P) and its fun to watch and talk football topics with him. ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

Todi has always been an inspiration to everyone. Met you as a member of the first group in PGP-1. Hardworking, dedicated and very good time management skills. One of the very few good friends I made at IIM-I. The ways in which you handle things speak about the level of maturity you have. Though may appear sophisticated, you are very clear in your thoughts and thatâ??s what makes you the person you are. Had amazing times in Europe. Though a fitness freak, it never showed on you :P Very good Table tennis player and hardcore Arsenal fan. I would not be wrong in saying that someday Todi will be leading an investment banking firm somewhere in the world. Wish you all the luck and success. You are ahead of your age in what you have achieved. Hope to stay in touch. Cheers. ...RAHUL YADAV

Intelligent, Hardworking, Humble, Jovial. Pranay You are one of a kind character I have come across in Life. The way you called “Yaar Sumanth” with a smile on your face was very special. Your teaching ability is something I will never forget. I remember you teaching Projections and Valuations in 30 minutes while two days of text book helped me to nothing. You are someone who can succeed in any chosen field. Do well Todi. Stay in touch ...SUMANTH J

Todi is just perfect in whatever he does. His academic prowess and modesty is already well known to the people around. What I particularly admire about him is his classy preferences and choices. Nescafe gold (Yeah he takes his coffee seriously!), the Fab India kurtas with those chinos, GoDiva (I am glad you finally got it), the white tea with extra anti-oxidants :P..

I have been a big fan of them all. Because a lot of things about you take me back to my boarding school days. Have fun man and keep in touch!...

RAHUL NAGDEV

Todi- my first friend on campus and you made it so much easier for me

to adjust to this new setting! You are the most genuine guy I know on campus and your work ethic and time management is something I envy and hopefully can achieve atleast 50% of that skill. My most memorable experience of the Eurotrip was with you at the Signal Iduna and I can never forget that :D COYG! Haha. Ofcourse, we will be staying in touch and wish you the best for the future. PS: get those Nepal coffee candies to Mumbai-that is one thing I miss from I block :p ...KUSHAL JAJOO

TODI fondly called by everyone. One of the persons I admire as a gem of our institute. He was in my assignment group in term 2. A real hard worker and a fitness enthusiast, a big fan of football club Arsenal. :) We had some small hangout sessions at classic and trance with other group members. Wish you good luck for your future endeavours buddy :) cheers !...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Pranay- One of the 8 partners I chose to be in my dream venture ;) A genius in his own might..cool headed and very focused. There was a time when I would regularly visit his room in I block after dinner to just have casual chat with him and he would be either reading off-course books or skyping his girl-friend (Probably). And would be very excited at both times. Yes, He almost gets excited reading books on Economics and ilk. Probe him just a bit about whats the book is about and you will get a detailed description of that. one of the smartest guys on campus and is definitely going places (literally). All the best Dude.

Keep in touch. :)...VIVEK THEBARIA

I found you a very kind and helpful person. Almost my entire CV was made by you and I stilI remember the long discussions on small issues at 4 am at night. Wish you luck for your future endeavors. stay in touch :) ...MUNISH DUREJA

The most efficient guy that i have ever seen in my entire life. Multitasking expert, have seen him reading spiral, watching movie, eating, texting all at once :) I always have admiration for you as you somehow manage to study everything and still have time to play and watch football. You are smart, intelligent and focused. Also you are one of the most genuine and humble person that I have come across. I know you will be very successful in life. Stay in touch :)...Tushar Gupta

Todi, the investment banker who writes like a 5 year old; Kuch kar

handwriting kar, doesnâ??t go with your image. You probably are the most sophisticated person from Bihar I know. Very particular about what goes in his body (Alcohol-only wine, Muesli-no masala, lunch - on most occasions is exact opposite of what all others are eating). Has his frequent visits to Delhi and yet manages to read all the cases for class and does more than well in exams, Todi knows his priorities and has time for everything. I know that with your hunger and abilities, you are not stopping anytime soon. Best wishes :)...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Pranay ! You are a complete package. You emerge as a true ace in whatever you pursue. I am most comfortable working with you on assignments, reports, live projects etc. I guess thatâ??s the reason why we always chose to be in the same group every single time. Our frequencies match. Even Salwan will agree on this ï?? You have always been so focused on what you wanted and importantly how to go about achieving that. I truly derive my inspiration and passion from you. I have learnt so much from you in all those corridor discussions when we complained about everything related to IIM Indore. But one thing I am grateful to IIM Indore is for giving me a neighbour like you ( almost neighbours ) You have already achieved immense success for your age. I am sure that you ll land yourself that front end position earlier than all of us here. Because you truly deserve it. I am glad that you are placed in Mumbai and again as neighbours. I look forward to fun times ahead. ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

AN KATES N E V SAD

PRA

The first thing that comes to mind about Prasad is that he is a man of principles, one of those rare people you get to meet at an IIM. He is sharp, intelligent and loves curd (yet to figure out whether thats the reason for his high IQ). Also he can eat literally anything with curd. I remember those days in the mess when he used to mix potato chips with curd for lunch. For me, he had been a great friend and will remain so for the years to come. Keep in touch and wish you all the best for your future endeavors, buddy. ...AFZAL C.M

The most important thing I have to say about you man? I know you’ll have my back. I place an incredible premium on friendship and it was fantastic to meet another guy who thought the same! You’re almost anti-social :P And man you really know how to get under others’ skin quickly. You and you’re logic, bugger I have felt like kicking you so many times :P But you’re also one of the most honest guys I have met, esp. in context with the huge number of acquaintances and friends we all (most of us :P) rack up in campus :) Stay the same (except for the social part :P), obviously we’ll stay in touch!...Avinash Chidambar

So it all started with our common PGP term 1 group :) I clearly remember that first group meeting we had regarding Operations Management assignment in H block. You seemed to a bit reserved that time.

One day I remember I was telling you about my cricket likings and all of a sudden you showed me your pic in CSK T-shirt in your phone.

I was like wow. MSD fan :) Hardcore CSK fan :) Hardcore tennis fan :) Fan of my “:P” smiley too :P You, me and Tushar had pretty good time in 1st term. We were involved in various debates and random chitchats. You are one of the person in my life whom I trusted like

anything. I discussed a wide spectrum of things ranging from love lives to insect killing tactics :) ( I know you are afraid of them :D, Dude why did you let that monster lizard shelter in your H block room for so long :P ) And well we both hated GDs :D Hell of a stalker you are (so I am :D). Your logics clearly are of highest standards when you inspect any situation ( Keep it up :) ) Another incident that comes to my mind is when we went to RIP trip and we suddendly decided to buy and donate a cricket bat to the local kids. You are a kind of person who knows what to extract and how much to extract from circumstances. Seriously this testimonial message wont be able to sum it up all but still I tried to hit some of the top notches :) All the best buddy. Great life is waiting ahead :) Always be in touch and hope our friendship will go on and on :) ...MOHAMMAD AMIR

Prasad...it was the high-tea (so called best meal in IIM campus) when we met first time here (remember??). I got to know more about you while sharing same column in PGP-1 classes :). We used to go in deep discussions while doing group assignments (especially of Marketing simulation and WAC). He is a very intelligent and humble guy. Very Very enthusiastic about movies and TV series (I think he might be the person in the campus who have watched maximum TV series in last two years here... seriously he is mad about TV series :P). I had great time with you here and remember these moments in my life. You have great potential and ability to achieve everything in your life. Have a wonderful and prosperous life ahead. Keep in touch :) :)...AKSHAY MANGAL

Very intelligent and composed guy...likes to gossip ( strange), likes to have fun. Frequent visitor at PD :)...i know that cause i bump into you quite often. My sidie in class for an year, played the best cheerleader during the blobby volleyball tournaments. Keep up the good work. Cheers! ...PANKAJ SONI

You have been one of the best buddies I’ve had in the campus... we had some crazy days and nights with your insane planning... but i’ve always enjoyed your company in every bit of it. I’ve always considered you as a brother honoring the bro code :P.... Jokes apart.. I would take back all the things that we’ve did and the chats we’ve had as a beautiful memory.... :).... Ill kick your ass if you don’t keep in touch.....GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Full-on romantic with a large list of girls he proposed to. “Having Icecream in the rains is romantic” type :P Likes to have fun, go partying with a group that has at least one female and play computer games!

Fitness freak; does everything from visiting the gym regularly to subscribing to Men’s health! Good coach too for gym training and badminton with the patience to let you figure it out. Can be a good leader if only he sheds his lethargy!...VAMSI KRISHNA BETHAPUDY

My gym partner...of course we never went continuously for even a week though. Every night we discuss on what to do in gym next day but ended up still asleep even at 10 in the morning. Crazy about fitness, sports and food. Plays random computer games. writes love letters but proclaims that he is helping out his friends :P...all in all adrenaline junkie...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

My badminton coach...i would fondly remember all the times you made me run around in the court and all the encouragement you gave me to play :) A man with eye for beauty :P A gaming freak and foodie...Would remember your stories at our 26 hills parties :) Wishing you all the success and happiness in your life...cheers :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

Dude, mere baaju mein baithta tha tu, tereko to kabhi nahi bhula sakta.

Sahi time pass kiya hai humne class mein during and in-between lectures.

RIP, HOP, Tincha falls, kahaan-kahaan nahi gaye hum log saath mein. An avid Gamer and Anime lover like me. Gymming buddy bhi hai tu mera.

Kitna pyaar karta hai mere se :P. Arrey, random badminton games kaise bhool gaya! Also, apni awesome outings jismein sab log apni feelings share karte hain. Yaad rahega! Keep Gaming and Keep Watching!...

PRADEEP ROSHAN BARWA

Puli man-- Ittna cool casual rehta hey isliye gals flock towards baas.. :) Enthusiasm is what describes you-be it parties, all those castle- monster computer games, our block wing tortures and taunts but very less in group assignments even when “She” was there in your group..I found a very close friend in you and that’s what counts..I have learnt to understand enough Telugu staying within 4 of you guys in my wing..(my achievement).. We had awesome time during our RIP thanks to your captaincy.. Enjoy your life ahead as you always do and stay in touch!!...BISMAYY MOHAPATRA

Beware! he is combination of cool, intelligent and go getting attitude.

Awesome flirting skills ;), never seen him dull or in worry. Takes life as it comes and has a bit of childish behavior. I had fun hanging out with you during our 4th term which I can easily say is a wonderful time. Always tries to be among friends and you can see that from the number of friends circles he is in the campus :). Hope you have a great future ahead :D...

JAGADEESH PUTTA

One of the biggest regrets of term III would be missing the one grand party we were supposed to have...no? I have known you thanks to our highly coordinated group assignment divisions! The sheer euphoria of the HRM SBI case which was gladly discarded by Nambudiri to the Race-tothe-finish SM assignment to prevent an F grade...it was fun doing assignments with you! May you enjoy several awesome parties in the future!

Wish you the best Puli!...MONAMI BAGCHI

Puli!!! Known u very late, may be in the beginning of 2nd year but one of the very few guys who always have highest level of energy in everything he does. Very dynamic, easy going personality and a party hard person.

Known for his story telling with his body language depicting the whole scene like a movie. Always enjoyed playing against u in badminton cuz it was a challenge to lift ur powerful smashes. Intelligent and hard-working.

Enjoyed the time that we have spent together. Best wishes for all your future endeavorsâ?¦ Hope u be in touch!!!...PRABHU KIRAN ANUGARI

GDEV

L NA RAHU

If I were to describe you in one word: “STUD”. You have everything that a man can aspire for. Looks that make him a magnet and girls( read PGP1. PGP2. IPM) small iron particles. Brains that make everyone else look like an idiot in front of him ( ITC, STAN C, top 30... enough said). And yes, even though we are so different in everything( I am not restricting myself to cleanliness), you are and will remain one of my best friends for life( even though I may swear as many expletives at you I know when i am drunk). In 10 years time, when you will be a big shot at Stan C, and me most probably jobless( you know me too well to understand that this is realistic), I will still use the same expletives, and you won’t mind a bit. Have fun, live life your way, and don’t give a fuck about others think or say... :)...ARINDAM PAUL

With my system flushed with alcohol, now is the best time to write about you :D. One of the most level headed guys around on campus.

Had met you first on the day I came on campus and was waiting in the queue to get my documents photocopied. Got to see you again in NC3 as a part of Section E. You are probably one of the few guys I converse in with English instead of Hindi. Maybe that’s how we started interacting and I guess i never wanted to change that. I guess what got us going was the outlandish views we (add Anoorag to it) had on ahem ahem :P. Will always remember the drinking binges we had in Mumbai. Gokul’s and Bade Miyaan would be etched in my memory.

Pretending to be wine connoisseurs at the wine shop after all liquor stores had closed in Mumbai.would be a memorable incident. One of the very few people who knows my superpower dream vividly :P. I might not be socializing with you all the time nowadays but I have had one of the finest memories with you on campus. I would not talk about

your academic prowess or ladykiller abilities as they are well documented.

Hope you have a great life ahead and may more drinking binges be in store for us in the future :) :) ...SAYAN BAGCHI

We share a bit of the boarding school camaraderie and the air that comes along with it!! Believes in having fun specially in â??foreign landsâ??. He is hard working, a little mysterious and has an undeniable charisma which cannot get unnoticed. And ya!! beware of him while playing table tennis; swings his arms like Nadal hitting a forehand down the line....PRANAY TODI I am fortunate to have met Rahul in the very first week of college and have known him for two years now. He’s been my go-to-guy for anything at IIM Indore. His easy going nature is what makes him likeable (atleast to the guys :P). UCB ka brand ambassador, makes life difficult for us because guys can never match his style of dressing and look impressive in front of the fairer sex (eye candy for them :P). Behind his cool and stylish look, theres a inner nerd that has helped him maintain good acads in his life.

Remember slogging for MAC-I and marketing-II (failed attempt) :P. The man knows to party hard as well and his witty dialogues keep the crowd entertained. He has been there for me during the good and bad times at IIM Indore and I would love that to continue post our MBA life. :) ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

One of the studs of our group, it would take the humility of your level to turn down some of the female attentions you got for 2 years at IIM I. I have never met a person who has the kind of emotional strength that you possess. Though became friends with you only in PGP-2, I realized very early how good a person you were. Had a lot of fun during exchange (Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin, Hamburg, and of course Vienna). You were someone whom I can always reach out for any help I required or your opinions about things! You had the maturity level, the kind of required for taking the right decisions in life. People like you cannot fail in life, and it’s not because of the hard work you put, but because of your smartness and the kind of dedication you show in whatever you do. I know I sound like an old uncle globing around but then I think when you’ll read this after some years you will understand the truth in these lines. I always tried to learn from you the ways of charming people :P but I know that is one of your strengths (and the one that matters everywhere). I know you will be one of the persons to look from our batch! Have an awesome life. Cheers!!

PS : Thanks for the gyan you gave me in RD on 19-2-2014 ..though I don’t remember much of it, I know a lot of courage goes into that and not eve-

ryone would have done it. :)...RAHUL YADAV

The quintessential STUD of our batch! Girls want him and we guys wanna be like him. Seriously, you are probably the most sophisticated, well-dressed, charming, and polished guy I have ever known. Have tried to imbibe some such stuff from you. And thanks for the choice of suit before the finals :D I know now what an impact being presentable can make in formal situations and you helped a lot with that. Will remember the shopping sprees and booze sessions which we went to quite a few times. Haha, especially, the time when you short-circuited the entire establishment of Trance lol :D Itna zyada short itne logon ke eksaath kisi ne nahi diya hoga aj tak :P One of the Marketing Gods of our campus, you were one of the only 2 people I was scared of going up against in a GD. But then, I had already told you that in one of my drunken stupors probably, right? The all-night group study sessions with You and Manu certainly helped me a lot in my second year, as can be evidenced by my sudden rise in grades :D Overall, you were the cause of a lot of improvement in my life, dude! The way I try to present myself, etc etc. Have always looked upto you in that regard, as well as your natural smoothness in front of the fairer sex :-o Which guy wouldn’t want that quality? :D Stay happy, I hope you get everything in life that you wish for. And for God’s sake, don’t give me or Manu or anyone else that “poisonous” short stuff :-/ Cheers!! :)...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

Nagdev takes a lot of baths in a day. And I mean a lot. In fact, when he isn’t hitting the showers, he’s washing his clothes. His meticulousness doesn’t stop at just being a stickler for hygiene. This guy’s preparation before an exam consists of reading every word of the spiral, using different kind of highlighter to mark sentences (colour coded according to importance) and then making rigorous notes in a pad. Nagdev is the personification of the word Thorough. When he’s with our gang, he is as desi as they come, when he sits for GD’s he is professional as fuck! The reason I mention this is it’s very difficult to imagine a guy like this being so personable as to be enviable. I’ve known him the entire 2 years that we’ve spent here, having met him for the first time on our flight to Indore and then learning that we were to be neighbours.

Then came the internship where we spent every Saturday at Gokul’s and one particularly horrible one at Janata. We’ve been to the seediest pubs (including Balle-Balle, an event which will go down in history as the time Fillet-o-fish came to assume a different meaning :P ) and

the fanciest places (Amsterdam, Berlin and Hamburg notwithstanding let’s just say that even under the toughest deadlines, this guy will spank his way through!). I shudder when I recall that I completed 72 credits in first year; but then I remember that at least half of them were spent exchanging lewd remarks, gauging breast size and coming up with theories like the ‘Spongecake Theory’. I can write volumes about Nagdev and still scratch my head in the end, remembering another fond memory I forgot to mention. Sufficeth to say, if you’ve known Nagdev, you will never meet another person quite like him. Cheers, bro :) ...ANOORAG BISWAS

Nagdev, I know this page will be full of this particular adjective but I must use it one more time. Tu Stud hai yaar :). A true gentleman who can easily attract a girl and then makes sure he treats them the right way. However, the quality that I like the most in you is that you have a good, big heart (And I probably have mentioned that thatâ??s all that matters); I have seen how you are concerned for people you care about and how you treat people who are not even important for you. A nerd at the core, you always have the right words for the right people at the right time (and you are most appropriately dressed while doing all this :)). Hope you get all that you want and deserve, teri Duster aur New York ka vacation (jahan main bhi rahunga) to start with. I wish I had known you for longer but I am sure that the following years will make up for it. Oye, I may not ask or tell a lot of things but I ll be there for you :)...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Well you are one of my first good friends at IIM-I :) “Mr Sincere” is the perfect name for you and you know why :D Seriously, you are the most sincere, hardworking, detail-oriented, calm and sophisticated person I’ve met on Planet-I (but don’t worry despite all this you arn’t boring :P :D) You love dressing up perfectly almost all the time so m sure you can now spend as much as u want on shopping ;) :D On a serious note, I have always known you as a wonderful friend to me- understanding, caring and you do know how to nurture relationships. I’m sure you will do great in your life ahead like you have done till date. All the very best for the future and stay in touch always. Stay blessed :)...POOJA JUGRAN

Stud-dev, the God of Studs. I am pretty sure there is no other guy on campus who is fancied by so many chicks right from PGP2s to the IPMs. Nagdev, as we like to call him, graced the last row of our column and that is how I came to know him well sitting almost right in front of him.

However, what really caught my attention was this guyâ??s uncanny ability to wake from a deep slumber and then produce a brilliant CP taking

everyone by surprise. Rahul always impresses by the effort that he puts in even into the smallest of the assignments and his ability to speak with conviction. A special mention to his dressing sense which is as close to perfect as it could be. Would really miss the fun that we had during the Gurukripa sessions in the 3rd trimester. Good luck!...

PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

The first time we interacted was in Rendezvous, Mumbai. You took a lot of pains to explain about IIM Indore, marketing and the general issues students have before joining any MBA college. If not totally, but somehow you had a role in shaping my decision to join Planet I. An extremely talented person, very good speaker (ITC Interrobang) and a very helpful senior. Wish you all the success in your life. :) ...MAJUMDAR ARCHITA

param bakar banda ... first interaction thought might be too chocolaty person (with tatoo and all) for my taste but gels in well with the other kind of crowd also....party person ... Yaar jyadatar to likha ja chuka hai with the studdness and all the regular type... I’ll just say he is a good friend to have and I hope that our time together does not follow the 1st yr, 2nd year curve in the future .... Stay happy and keep in touch (with me reverse causality will be there... keep in touch... I make sure ppl r happy) :) ...RAVI MAHESHWARI

Nagdev! I knew you as the guy with the tattoo and that would have stayed with me had exchange not happened! Those are the memories I will cherish forever-the (mis)adventures-Barcelona, Hamburg, Prague and ofcourse Vienna! I know it was a tough December but am glad you beared with me and it did pass. You are very intelligent and an excellent presenter-something I really need to learn from you. Was really happy when you got placed and I do look upto you for many things (remember Travel Shack tips) :p Wish you the best and do keep in touch! ...KUSHAL JAJOO

Professionalism and sophistication are the two adjectives totally woven through your personality. Killer instinct to do beyond ordinary is easy to spot in all activities undertaken by you â?? be it academics (all relevant CPs), organizing section party (despite lazy form responses from our section), innovative games, socializing despite putting efforts for every cases, competitions. Such is the level of farsightedness that even before going on exchange, glamour to your resume had been

added by winning few live projects and national level competition. Your superb capability to first understand things and then mug up for quick retrieval in exams is reflective of your winning attitude. My Term 3 would have been disaster if not for you. Right from conceptualizing frameworks for assignments to delegating tasks to group member you were instrumental throughout and accommodating sometimes even covering my free rides. Sessions on relationship gyan over my most enjoyed eating and drinking sessions with you have been most memorable. Most popular among girls, you have a knack for making people fan of yours by subtle facets of your personality. Whatever activity be it, we know if Rahul is in it, outcome will be nothing short of being praiseworthy. I consider myself not your friend but your fan. Wishing you brightest of future ahead. Stay in touch !...PRATEEK JAIN

Apart from being the quintessential stud, Nagdev is also amongst the most ‘smoothest-talkers’ I’ve come across. His responses in most situations are always measured and he seems to find the right words for every circumstance. Had some fun times with you during exchange, and not to mention at RD! :P Wish I had known you earlier, we’d probably have been better friends then. Have a successful life ahead, and wish you all the happiness you desire. Good luck, and do keep in touch!...ADHIT S. SHETTY

I just love his dressing sense. Very intelligent. Will probably be overqualified for whatever he ends up doing. May you get everything that you want in life. Keep in touch!...NIKHIL SHARMA

Nagdevta, you are the most perfect GENTLEMAN (thinly veiled sarcasm :p) I’ve ever come across in my life!! You are a NERD, yes...but then again not the boring bookish types..smart, witty, an excellent elocutionist..I remember your presentation during ITC Interrobang,,the way you spoke so fast and yet so clearly..and for the first time I was thankful to the PGP office for making it compulsory for us-SecD people to attend it!!!!! It was so nice to get to know you. May all your wishes come true...we will keep in touch for sure.. (i sound too optimistic, I guess :p)...MUNMI LASKAR

Nagdev our friendship started as you being a friend’s friend but over time we have grown closer...you have always been the symbol of politeness, chivalry, thoroughness and detail oriented..before i met you i had heard legends of this cute looking guy who has a tattoo on his hand... I never thought we wud be friends me being the loud and lets part type and you coming across as this really soft spoken sophisticated reserved and seri-

ous guy, but life had its own way. We have shared many hours discussing our lives and dramas, discussing philosophy, uplifting each other, you making coffee and our short s***a breaks. I was really touched by your gift to me on my bday...you did not know me very well but it is kudos to your upbringing that you got me a gift ...i will cherish the cup forever :) You are opne of those people I may not regularly hang out with an dif we meet randomly we may be formal but when we meet one on one its all straight from the heart truth...I will always cherish our time together and heart to heart talks, the long walks, and also look back and laugh on the rumour that we were together...you are one of the most selfless people I know...i have come to you umpteen times before a fin exam/quiz ...even 15 min before and you would leave your revision to teach me...nor will I forget our talks at the ITC orientation night..Rahul always keep smiling and never lose hope...you have great things to accomplish and I am going to send my future spouse to you to teach him how to take care of a girl :) Do keep in touch and don’t wait for me to call ( I suck at the keeping in touch thing) but I will always have a smile on my face when i see your call ...keep in touch :)....MEHTA SALONI URVESH

Don’t know what to write. One amazing senior you are!! Very helpful man and I would say that you set the path for me. If i want to follow someone in campus it would be you only. All the best for future and I am sure that you ll rock as always!...JOPHIN M GEORGE

NAGDEV...bhai STUD hai tu( i know everyone has written this but banta h yr)..the most sophisticated and well dressed guy on Planet-I. When I first met you in the first year I knew launda machaega which has been true so far. One of the best souls on campus...he is a perso with the most compassionate heart and doesn’t shy away when you need him...na to bola hi ni jaata...really happy for you brother...ekdum bollywood ki story h teri life..I hope ending bhi waisi hi hogi :P...Do stay in touch..n haan apni Double Black baaki h :) :P...PRINCE PAL SINGH VIRDI

RAHU

Benjo, You are one of the most mature persons on campus. Loved every conversation ( except one in Audi, You know which one? ..haha) with you. You are someone I looked upto. You were there during my toughest times on campus. Many a times you were that mentor I so badly needed. Remember that random Ranji trophy game we watched in Holkar Stadium? and the Davis Cup game.? Stay in touch da...So many cricket games to watch in Bangalore and Chennai..ATB man...!! ...SUMANTH J

Though he is younger to me, I always feel like he is an elder brother :D One of the few ppl in campus I actually used to take advice from:) Though his luck is so bad at times that even I could take him only to 2nd place in RPG :D Jokes aside, he is a good friend, a very dedicated guy who gives his all in whatever he does, and he will turn out to be a very good consultant. We had a great time in the last 2 years and I hope he does stay in touch now that he will be in Bangalore :)...Deepak Talluri

Rahul Maccha- Our CR, we have shared some extremely fun memories on the last benches of Section C. I remember all of us pulling Rahul’s leg throughout the classes and how he used to get irritated at our apparent childishness. He hardly did CP, except for Patturaja Sir’s class where all his CPs started with ‘Sir, in the company where I used to work...’ Seeing him work as a CR and as a part of Placecom, I really admire him for his hard-work, his never say die attitude and his efforts to involve everyone and take everyone together. I know you will achieve great heights :) Keep in touch. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

You are one of the few people on campus whom i used to bug to get some advice. The RIP wouldn’t have been so much fun had it not been for you. All your jokes and the conversations shall remain cherished. People started addressing me kotler and the name would probably go down in history, all thanks to you :P I had real good times with you around. Wish you all the very best for a bright future ahead and do keep in touch :)...

KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Big macha/CR/Placom - are some of the few names given to him. I don’t think sec C could have got a better CR. He was always so calm and composed even though people irritated him with random things. He played a major role in keeping our class united and earning us the title of the best section in our batch. There are so many good times that we had together - the Talent night practice, playing mafia during RIP or even our section parties. He is a good manager. He has always been very motivating and supportive. It was great knowing you. All the very best for all your future endeavours. ...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

The unpredictable as I have encountered but a perfect manager. The energy he puts in work pays him double always....I have known you for a year and learnt a lot about managing stuff and prioritising things. I’ve seen him getting angry sometimes...and believe me...he is real monster in such situations. Apart from that he is a real cool gentleman. Hope you have a great life ahead. Do keep in touch !...NIKHIL SHARMA

very straight forward yet you feel comfortable talking to him. It’s fun even though he bullies you :P...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU my acquaintance with him dates back to our Deloitte days..one of my best pals on campus..team mate in almost all competitions..his immense selfmotivation is an inspiration to every1 arnd him and at times very aggressive..the way he manages his time is simply incredible..has held some of the strenuous PORs on campus and has done it with gr8 diligence.. himalayan trip wouldn’t have been such a memorable experience for me if it was not for him..hav learnt a lot from him in the past 4 years and would like to have him as my close friend for life..I wish him all the happiness in lyf :) :)...VENKAT DUBASH.

Rahul - my 1st year neighbour, intern buddy, placom buddy and insanely good frnd. God, we spent so much time together. Luv this guy. You want to have fun he’s make times memorable. You want to work, he’ll beat you

to it. Entire first year we made the night mess our abode. Second year he showed me how a great frnd can become a wonderful teammate.

One of the first ppl I met on campus. I remember he later copied my frenchie :P. Very easy person to talk with and I never shied away from sharing anything. His genuine aggression makes you want more from life. I’ll never forget his “kaapi” addiction :). Perfetti - that girl is still hitting on him :O. I never understood why :P. Honestly, he was the experienced guy and I was the kid and i did get to learn a lot lot (had to say it sometime :P). Macha, we will be in touch...u rest assure. Hard to think back on Indore and not think of this guy. Thanks for all the good times..See u soon :):)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Dai machi the testimonial was so long the portal didn’t accept it! How awesome is that :D I’m too lazy to type up an optimum size so I’ll cut to the chase here :) We had a great first year, being rivals and friends in equal parts, kinda like Ryu and Ken (yeah stop playing that random bicycle game on the phone, google up Street Fighter :P) We were dissimilar but similar in all the important ways! I still think you can have a really good sales career cuz it comes natural to your insanely aggressive self ;) You’re the only guy who manages to grab ppl by the collar but leave them gushing about you afterwards! Hardwork, prioritizing and getting genuinely interested in people are three things I managed to learn from you! Well, somewhat :P You know what, I remember my dad asking me after a visit home about how come I was so upbeat on returning to coll, I told him ,”Friends”, no prizes for guessing whose name came foremost to mind then bro. If the first sentence doesn’t say it, then this should say what all needs to be said! If I were there, I can imagine your reaction when reading this, saying ‘Dai’, and reaching (trying to cuz I know enough by now to know when to dodge :P) for my collar! Let the 2nd year be an aberration da cuz I have many miles to go and you’re definitely one of the people I’m taking along! Stay in touch or one day I’ll be the one grabbing your collar to kick your ass! ;) Cheers as always!...Avinash Chidambar

Rahul: â??Mamaâ?? as I fondly call him, Rahul is one of my closest friend on campus. Dinâ??t know much about you in the first year though we were in the same block. I knew you as one of the crâ??s who was extremely efficient at work, you had your entire section at control with amazing leadership skills. But then as a spc, I came to know a lot about you. I could easily connect with you.. those are the times in term 4 & 5 whenever I had any problem, I just came up to you

and spoke my heart (I know sometimes it was hard to bear :P) I could feel how nice a person you are at heart despite having bouncer looks :) I really appreciate the hard work that you had put in the committee, always has a fire in the belly, you never take â??Noâ?? for an answer.. Had a lot of incidents when I actually learnt from you to be firm on issues and voice it out dauntlessly. You will become a successful ceo da one day.. Thanks for all the wonderful moments we had shared.. All the best for you career & life :) :) Stay in touch as always and yea seekriam kalyanam paniko enna.. vayasachula :P ...SIMPSON SELWYN

Big Macha! The most dedicated & hard working CR, Sec C was blessed to have you! You know how to motivate people, cheer up the crowd and defend your own. You have been an extremely supportive friend. Thanks for all the guidance & mentoring and for your extreme patience as my SPOC :P Always keep smiling :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

MACHA..the hunk of J block. The first day in IIM I and we met and since then it has been tough times to stay away from you :P, stuck being your neighbor for 2 years but it has been a joyous ride :). The dude who is always there for his friends and did not mind me bugging him for this long stay...don’t worry you don’t get any relief yet, I will still bug you and hope you can cope up to tolerate further. ATB the for future macha and keep smiling :P...HARSH RAJ

One thing that I have wondered always is why I have never respected you since day 1 (Avinash Chidambar is I believe younger than you but still the way I speak to him is much different, I have seen you as a friend since day 1). Many a times Iâ??ve cursed myself when you were right about something, which ofcourse I would openly deny :-D Announcement of your summer placement result was a memory I distinctly remember, I was more happier than you were then.. I have never followed you in anything (even if ever was so, I would never admit) but I have had a tacit guidance from you on many things that changed my life including the placement committee.. You have been a partner in almost all the significant memories that I could recollect (mocking one anotherâ??s CP in class in first year, RIP, placement committee, War Room, HOP, finals prep, even the travel to Chennai) Likely that Iâ??ll be the second person to whom you have spoken most on campus (including the hour long conversation about career and ambition before Deloitte day).. You always seem to be in control of any situation and one neednâ??t worry about a work taken up by you. You are one of the wittiest persons and the best negotiator I

have seen on campus and I distinctly would remember the negotiation with cab driver on our way back from HOP.. We as a team (including Dubash and Suhasini) have faced many mishaps but I have felt very strong as a part of the team mostly because of your presence.

You really canâ??t stop being arrogant, can you :-D guess that sort of complements your other qualities. I shouldnâ??t probably write more about your strengths, youâ??re too haughty already.. Youâ??re a great friend and was an integral part of my stay at IIM Indore.. Vaala konjam suruttina youâ??ll go great heights, keep kalakking !!...ARUN B

Rahul.. our CR.. gem of a person.. very helpful n supportive.. fun loving n outgoing.. I enjoyed ur company a lot.. All the best n keep in tch.....

RACHIT MITTAL

One of the most sorted out and helpful person I have met. Allows you to take ownership while supporting you at the same time. Nice knowing you! Keep in touch :)...BHASKAR MANDELIA

you are probably one who doesn’t need a testimonial and that too from me :) :) QT-I end term exam group study @J 218 is where I got to know u and back then, I never expected you ll be one person who ll ultimately turn into one of my closest friends :) one of the most ambitious, hardworking and the most optimistic guy, I have ever seen in my life. No failure can deter your efforts or lower the belief that you hold on to! you are one person who fights luck and fate with your hard work. Professionally, you are THE ideal CxO guy and a fantastic manager. You know how to carry yourself in front of others be it in terms of your attire or your behavior.one who is an excellent negotiator and an extremely competitive person. You are one person who isn’t afraid to tell people what you think and yet be loved for it. A person who believes in path dependency and has lived his life to create the best first impressions at every opportunity :) Personally, we share a lot in common (COFFEE addicts that we are :P) and you are one whom I can confide on, look upon for some serious advice. Sometimes a bad ass, sometimes an extremely irritating creature, mentor at times, a thorough gentleman and a wonderful person ! I really wish I could have known you earlier and eagerly await all the forthcoming years in our life to cherish your companionship :) :)...SUHASINI G K

Rahul - Our friendship has gone through everything- Sensible discussion, crazy fights, career talks, gossip session, guidance and life. First

as a wingmate, Acadcom and then a fellow placommer - at each capacity, you have been an amazing person to be with. I still remember first yr when you use to guide me and then we had those weird discussion with yelisetti. The wing was like home with you people around. Our first tr8 at Tittos is one of the many memories that I will cherish. You are one of the most dedicated person when it comes to work and who else can say tht better than the one who ws sitting besides you in that office for 1 straight year. Cheers to more lively dicussion ahead and Trufis tu end kar rha hai :P...MAYANK JAIN

Some things that I associate with you: “random”, Hulk, coffee lover, panda (remember the meme, I made out of your pic?), Tambrahmrage memeâ?¦and a lot more... I got introduced to you during Induction Prog.

I hadn’t interacted with you much in the first term, except for teasing you about your tumy...and the instance when you used your Position as an acadcommer in forcing me to present the speaker a bouquet in some guest lecture. After summer placements, our travel to Chennai is what made us friends. Watching movie in a bay completely occupied by just the six of us was fun and that was one of the most memorable train journeys I have had. During that break, Dell and I visited your home and had ela vadam :) In second term, on dandiya night, you established yourself as someone could read my mind. After that, you became one of my closest friends and also the one who used to hurt me most often. Cannot forget the T.I bar-You and SR were the first people that had drinks while sharing a table with me. During diwali break, the travel to Bangalore, bakshanam at your house, was enjoyable. And then the tragedy happened...You got into placom by the end of the term. And as I feared, I lost a good friend (at least temporarily). Third term to fifth term is to be skipped given that we hardly spoke and had more fights than conversations. But yes, thank you for meeting me during internship, on the day before my birthday. I was glad that I could meet a close fren then :) and I was happy that you managed to come home during internship. In second year, it was Dandiya night again, when we were back as friends. You gave the good news of PPI as well as PPO from Madura :) Thank youâ?¦ You were not only a friend, but also a mentor to me. It was because of your constant teasing that my acads improved from third termâ?¦Your advice helped me get better value out of IIM Indore. I hope we make up for all the fights we had and stay as great friends, in future :)...V. DARSHANA

Ae Deiâ?¦.:P ..You are my favourite Tamil teacher who taught me all these ‘Da, Dei, Podadei’ words. I’m pretty sure these will prove handy when I

visit Chennai next. And I know who to bug if I’m ever stuck in Chennai.

We hardly knew each other in the first year, but that was more than compensated in the second year. It was pleasure working with a guy who laughs like crazy. You are essentially one of the nicest and nononsense people on campus. I always loved the points you brought to table during our team meetings. I also fondly remember the Appam you made me eat at ID in that Chennai mall. I’m pretty sure you will keep teaching me some more Tamil words and keep recommending me exclusive Tamil dishes. I wish you all the best for your career and life ahead. Do stay in touch! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Macha, it has been great working with you over the past year. I will fondly remember our Mumbai trip and hunt for authentic street food.

The additional responsibility you took up at a moment’s notice or those brilliant emails you wrote for the Finance sector deserve many more thanks. You are a natural leader and look out for everybody in the group - that is again something I respect greatly. I regret not having built further upon the good friendship we developed in the initial part of this year and letting inertia take over. Here’s wishing to a wonderful career and life ahead - your hard work will definitely bring you all the success. Keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

Mr. Placom.. I cant thank you enough for the kind of support you extended when in need.. But that is what friends are for.. I will cherish the moments I had with you,abhi and other back benchers in the first year.. You are very smart and I am damn sure that you will reach great heights.. Wish you all the very best in your personal and professional life.. We will surely be in touch :)...RIZWAN MOHAMMED P A

Dei! Dei! Dei! Big Macha- always seen grabbing collars of everyone.

You look like a villain from a Tamil Movie. You have been one of the coolest and chilled person I have come across in campus. You have a distinct style of mocking everyone. Irrespective of your outward appearance of being a macho guy, you are a very nice person, always helpful, cheerful. You have displayed your leadership qualities in so many occasions whether it be being CR of our section, or planning a party or during RIP. You are very outspoken and have the courage to stand upto anything. I admire your bold attitude and more than that I appreciate the way you threaten talluri ;). RIP was an amazing time with you and will always be special for late night mafia, card games, booze, and travel to villages. You are a great friend who is knowledge-

able and hardworking. All the best for your future life and look forward to meeting you after college :)...Tushar Gupta

One of the nicest people, Rahul is a great mentor and has a certain discipline that I greatly revere. He can scare the shit out of people and at the same time is one of the most helpful and frank people. ...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

Know him since day 1, because of Bakra! His natural ability for building professional relationships with people is unparalleled. He is a bornbouncer, oops leader! He is sensible at the same time sensitive to the people around and under him. one of the few people in campus under whom I’m comfortable working. Thanks for being there for me that day, and helping me crack Yahoo! You will always be the wise, jovial and friendly Rahul from Bakra time. May you reach greater heights than already reached!...

VAMSI KRISHNA BETHAPUDY

He is the first person I had met on the day of arrival to the campus. . and we have been friends and neighbors for the past 2 years. ... He is one of the passionate people you will find on campus, who gives it all to the group he is in ... from section c to all other groups ...earning him the nick “Bhaiya”. One of the most dedicated and hardworking person you will ever find, he has also complimented his personality with his physique very well in the second year according to his job requirements :P . .. A fun person to hang around with who shared my love of coffee on the many trips to night mess in the first year...Immensely self motivated, Ever friendly, and aggressive are the three attributes i would say about him...

He is bound to excel in any field, he is in ... All the best and Good Luck machi :) , Stay in Touch...M V VARUN

Rahul is THE guy to go to if one needs some sensible advice. You were the guy constantly kept telling me to get out of my shell and socialize.. I think that has helped come a long way here... And you are a born leader..

The way you handled yourself as Section-C CR is truly remarkable.. You are an ambitious and hardworking person. And I am sure you’ll scale great heights in life. All the very best! Stay in touch :)...S KANCHANA

DRA RAJENELLAM M BABU

Here I am writing this testimonial that makes me realise that a wonderful journey here at IIM indore with you guys is coming to an end.

I fondly would remember each every moment of it. My this journey would not have been complete without you guys. You were there as a friend during happy and sad moments. Now when this journey of ours called MBA is coming to an end I am becoming more nostalgic now.

We were here like a family and had been together and stood by each other at all hard times and laughed together at good times. Ab zyada senti mat ho :P Zyada door nahi jaane wale bhai log :D Well, a great cook, a mast company to hang out with, official saaki of the group and above all a great human being. I clearly remember the day when we first met at JP’s room. From that day on our bonding has grown stronger. I hope when you hold this booklet in your hands few years from now you would be smiling at all those memories that we had together and you would remember this friend of yours with some good memories. wishing you good luck for your future and needless to say that stay in touch :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Babu, I will miss the intellectual discussions that we have :) and the refreshing viewpoints you espouse when we fight on issues. But most of all, its your cooking that I will miss the most, that and your unique sense of humor... Wish you all the best. ...ABHISHEK CHAUHAN

Babuuuuu...our group mummy....thank u babu for cooking delicious food for bhukad like us...I feel shamed ki being a girl all I can do is cut vegetables.....I gained 6 Kgs because of dat food...U r d most adjusting and adaptable person I hv met so far...At times i feel u speak better hindi than me :P....I wish negi ki tarah tu mujhe bhi car driving me

Babu is a unique creature. He may look an indifferent person but he actually cares for his friend/family like anything. He has love for everyone.

Because of which he can patiently listen to you and gives advice suggestions. He possesses knowledge from diverse fields. Doing discussion/ debate with him was always enlightened me. He always has curiosity to know new things. His accommodating nature help him to mingle with people from any part of world (yeah, any part of world :P) â?¦.At time he losses temper, but he quickly bring himself to normal state. He is a brilliant cook (his wife will be a very lucky to have him). The kind of analytical skills he has, I am sure he will do wonderful as a consultant. I wish him all the best for future. Be in touch babu â?¦...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

My best friend on the planet-I, Babu is always there to listen all the bullshit on this earth. He is the certified â??Saquiâ?? of our group; I bet nobody can beat him in that. As pure as a child, yet has mature perspective over serious issues. He is one of the most open-minded persons I have ever met (perhaps that is why he is my best friend hereï??) ...JAIPAL MANDYAL You always reminded me of the dude in ‘The Big Lebowski’ man! :D In your own world, happy and looking like you just got up half the time! ;) I gotta tell you man, in those initial unsettling days, it was always nice to drop by and catch you watching Naruto, something familiar! Stay the same cool dude and have fun! Cheers!...Avinash Chidambar

BABU JI .. With Chacha, You were too among the first people with whom I had the first gulp of spirit at IIM Indore. Since then our friendship was born. I like your taste of music and they way you laugh. Your cooking...

Mashaallah!! I will miss those fish preparations. Always welcoming and always an honest critic to my views which I respect. Thanks for getting my thoughts in line. This is what I would miss the most because your perspective deserve respect. Well live hard and party harder. Stay sharp and stay in touch. My best wishes for all your future endeavours. Cheers!!...

SANKALPA SARKAR

Babu is one sweet, caring and trustworthy person. Initially he will seem bit silent and reserved but has his own style and once you know him he is one hell of a person to hangout with. Always carries a cool temperament and could even scold you for your own benefit. A good friend and good at heart person Babu is an amazing cook too!! I will always remember the parties we had in his room and ofcourse the funfilled Himalayan trip. Throughout the trip Babu was very supportive and cared for all our team members - He is also a good photographer.

We were seated in same row in NC4 and had a good time during class hours and great time after class hours ;) It was a great experience in knowing Babu personally and I wish him all the best for his future, I will always remember the golden moments spent together!!!...SAURAV DEMTA

Raja babu Bellam!! is always a sweet person as bellam. Cool, Openminded and fun loving person. Always ready for party :). We like the way you laugh. You are famous for your critics on anything with reason behind every sentence. You have great knowledge and appreciate the way you analyze on anything. We always hear stories about your amazing cooking . Never got chance to cherish it. Hope we will be fortunate someday. I wish you all the very best for all your future endeavors. Have a great life buddy. Keep in touch !!!...SURESH MALLULA

Rajanna is what I fondly call him... A standing example of how deceptive looks are.. At first I thought he is very serious and unapproachable..and then found a great person and friend... Takes everything with a pinch of salt.. My first call to go to any movie be it in the campus or outside is to Rajanna as he’s always game.. Had great fun :) and we’ll have more :) All the very best in all your future endeavours...

ROCK ON \m/...NIKHILESH MURALA

One of my best buddies in campus. Down to earth, easy going person.

He was my neighbor in class and had lots of fun competing over mobile games and pen fights and helping out in CPs in class. I wish him all the best for his future...SUDEEP MOHAN M

Rajendra Babu .... Hmmmm a fun loving person .. 2nd year would have been incomplete without you... You and your achaar mess ke khane mein jaan daal dete hain. Bhaisahab BC ke liye forever ready banda .....

Ab bas yahi kaamna hai ki aap aage bhi entrepreneurial spirit (uncle ji ka dhaba) banaye rakhen.... Aapke saath ke discussions maashaallah

... kya kahen .... A very good person at heart and great friend to have.

Hope to be good friends forever .... machate raho.... all the best. ...RAVI MAHESHWARI

The big fella with big heart.. Manga bro!! Thoroughly enjoyed all our times together and (I wish) we could have had more parties if it hadn’t been for those stupid assignments and classes.. Wish you all the success in your life be it professional or personal.. Keep in touch!!...KAMAL HAZARIKA

FRANKIEEEE. SUUUPAAAAARRRR!!!! My co-anime fan. One of the very few people to watch one piece. You were the guy who made optimum use of lectures. Guess, that was your way of the ninja. :P I am sure you would have been a soda factory owner if not MBA. :D Loved hearing your group’s escapades from RIP and HOP among other instances. Let’s keep watching anime and reading manga till we die dattebayo. One more thing...make your kid read manga and do cosplays with him. Be his Iruka/ Kakashi sensei. :D Keep in touch man. ...NAVTEJ VERMA

The eternally chilled-out guy....always in his own world. Was great interacting with you. Stay in touch :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

Babu.. ! you are a fun loving guy, good friend and a party lover. Apart from those you are good at heart and never let the world immerse you in its temporary pleasures.. keep pressing on with positive approach as always.. God bless and wish you the very best for your future.. keep in touch.. :)...GATTU CHARLES RAJ

NJAN

RA RAJNI

Darr lag rha hai likhte huye, but darr ke kaaran I donâ??t wanna miss the opportunity :P. Rajni, from outside she is very shaant and seedhi ladki but from inside there is a hidden naughty girl, which comes out rarely. We know each other from almost starting of college and now I can say that I am one of the very few privileged ones who know you properly. We have had great fun in college, going mess for lunch and dinner and late dinner, long-long talks when we all used to sit at patallok, masti in my room, watching Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai, long walks etc. etc. I always respected you as a person and learnt a lot from you. But those â??surpriseâ?? wala looks on your face I will always remember :D. I really enjoy your company always. Although I kept on trying to convince you to accept my ideologies but many a times I recall your words and try to think the way you think on a matter and deep down I know that most of the time your way works better. Your hard work paid off (DB) and I am sure that this is just the stepping-stone and you will go a long way ahead. All the best for your future ladki and do stay in touch....PRAKHAR KATIYAR

You are among the first few persons whom I met prior to coming on campusâ?¦ You donâ??t have to understand my jokes to give a hard laughâ?¦ I always told you not to take tension for no reason and that good things will happenâ?¦.and look now; your dedication and sincerity has brought DB to youâ?¦ I still have that document with me, so whenever you feel down, I can show you that you have immense potential to get the best that the world has to offerâ?¦ Keep in touch and wishing you all the success in lifeâ?¦ :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

You know that I am way too lazy for stuff like this, but I owe you this.

To my only female friend on campus( I am not sure if that is a compliment ;)), you are one of the most amazing girls( Not that I am a stud and have met thousands ;)) that I have ever met.Coco Chanel once said that a girl should be classy and fabulous, and believe me when I say this, you sure are both classy and fabulous. And apart from solving one of mathematics’ millennium problems( Quiz club ppl will get this joke), you are also amazingly well read. And as far as your intelligence is concerned, you are one of the best. Starting from being an NTSE scholar to being an I-Banker, you have it all. And this is inspite of you watching every possible TV show on earth and tons of movies. And yeah, most people have no idea how popular you are ( I won’t name ‘All the Rajni fans’ here :P, ). And even though I wanted to, I won;t mention your other side ;) (what happens in quiz club stays in quiz club). I won;t ask you to stay in touch, coz I will make sure we do. Stay the way you are and you will def have an amazing life ahead.

Cheers !!! ...ARINDAM PAUL Rajni is a little too intelligent and a little too kind friend who says â??sorryâ?? and â??thank youâ?? so many times that would put Queen Elizabeth to shame....PRANAY TODI

I have always thought that you are a kid who has accidently came to a grown-ups college:-P. To your credit, you fully know how to balance the kid-life and the grown-up life and thatâ??s why you can come up with something like,â??stop it, you girls!!â?? I will always admire you for being an ardent book-lover, enthusiastic quizzer and taking all the leg-pulling related to Bihar in the right sense. Thank you for not bothering yourself with all the competitions Sonica, you and I registered and didnâ??t make submissions (the usual):-P. I respect you for the focus with which you persuaded Finance through these two years and I am sure the reward has been great :-). ATB! ...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL

You are one person I can open my heart to and can talk about all the random things and people while being sure that I am not being judged.

You are a great listener. A very kind hearted, humble and modest person.

Of course, a great quizzer. Most importantly, very accommodative (who else can eat Thai curry at Alcoves for the sake of others). You are one of the very few people with whom apart from enjoying and having fun, I can talk about whatever I am feeling, however idiotic that may be. You were always there to listen to me and being so supportive. I had such great time with you here, and looking forward for this to continue in Mumbai as well. Have faith in yourself, you have what it takes to get to your dreams, the journey to which has already taken a kick start... Wishing you all the

best for future :)...SONICA GUPTA

There have been plenty of memories with you on campus. 2 years and we have seen extreme ends of our friendship - blame it on my nature. I met you in the train to Indore itself for the first time, and was happy to have you and the Prakhars as friends by my side. Those conversations I had with you till 3-4 am on Pataal Lok stairs, several coffee sessions in night during 1st year, long walks, watching Sarabhai vs Sarabhai or having Aunty ke paranthe, going to Naturals or TI, standing clueless when you guys talked and talked about english movies, giving you too much gyaan on Finance, even though I always knew you are super telented yourself.. those quiz sessions in Katiyar’s room till wee hours, your bday celebration, those several quarrels we have had, but one thing which always came out was that your perspective on life and relations has been quite clear and straight-forward from the very first day we met. Though quite elder to you, I don’t feel ashamed to admit that I have learnt a deep lot from you - about life and relationships. I felt immensely happy when you texted “ho gaya” when you got in DB. You are a rare gem to cherish but for that, the person needs to understand you completely. Stay as you are.. you are awesome... :)...

VAIBHAV JAIN

Rajni, Believe me this the most difficult testimonial I have written. I know so much about you but still it feels like I know nothing (Such an Enigma You are). You are also very different from the girls I had met before (Quizzing, Maths, Pencil Sketching..Super combo). I liked the way you got super excited and laughed at some of my silly jokes (few times). I also liked the way you got super angry and gave those scorching stares (majority of times). I am sorry that I got too competitive (asking quiz questions over parties, What was I thinking?), that destroyed the fun at times. Talking about talent, Can you please tell me if you are not good at something? (Da Vinci Reincarnated types). One more thing I learnt from you is to always look for positives in people. It was fun having you as a friend. Wish you a successful career!! I will stay in touch with you!! ...SUMANTH J

Rajni- One of the very few girl quizzers I know, you are a rare breed!

She appears to be a reserved, calm , intellectual person but once you know her she is much much cooler. It is just so difficult to get her out of her shell We have had some great times on RIP and HOP where many of the jokes have been on pulling her leg. I still remember your

wonderful playlist in the Nokia phone which helped me get through a lot of my time in the Himalaya. You are fun to be with and always smiling.

I hope to know you much more in the coming years. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Simplicity at its best! The first time we met on campus, I simlly gaped at her when she told about the varied interests she had.. and with time I realised she excels at each one of them! You’re extremely sweet and adorable younger sister (no offence but really :P) and its been an arduous task (there, finally!) to have been boosting and pumping your self confidence :P I am glad to have shared numerous giggleathlons with you and the hours we’ve spent discussing random musings. I think I was the happiest and proudest when you got placed after weeks of hard work and preparation. I have had so much to learn from you. Your intelligence and diligence is sure to take you high up the corporate ladder! ...Sneha Tyagi

Rajni should be a Victorian era upper class English lady. She’s too polite, too well-read, too soft-spoken and too intelligent. An IIM is the last place I’d have expected to find someone like that. Ever smiling and ever friendly, she’s got a charm around her that’s best left undefined. Probably the only other person in campus who reads as much as me, it’s a shame we never got to discuss much on literature and beyond. Stay in touch and keep smiling!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

After 2 years, I finally think that I have broken into the elite clique of Rajni’s friends :D Rajni is someone who is a little difficult to understand at first, but once you get used to her weirdness and short term memory losses:D, you will find an awesome girl in her. She is multitalented, quite different from most girls ( in a good way ofcourse) and so is always a pleasure to talk to. I have always enjoyed the frank and open discussions we have had. A couple of incidents which I vividly remember and changed my opinion about her- one being the chat during the HOP summit climb when we 2 were struggling and motivating each other and the other being the 4 hr VC conclave where we had a candid discussion throughout the conclave :D. One of my favourite pastimes in campus has been pulling her leg and she always takes it in the right spirit. Hope she continues being the amazing girl that she is :) ...Deepak Talluri

The only City fan on campus :p Intelligent, pretty, down to earth-and goes without saying, that’s rare and that is what makes you such a special person! I am glad that I was part of your friend circle and hopefully we will

have a pleasant time working together too :) ...KUSHAL JAJOO

I recall you once telling us that you will regret dying only because you fear there would still be so much left to read & learn! Your penchant for books & quiz trivia is admirable. Have a great life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Don’t know how to start but you are one person who is like diametrically opposite to me. Never ever I imagined that we will become close friends one day. I always used to wonder ‘How is she behaving? Why is she acting so weird? How can she continuously ignore someone?’

Well those things I still wonder but I will say have got used to it. Now when you act normal I feel there is something wrong with you :P I have started knowing you much better during Himalayan and MICA trip.

The discussions we had in Ahmedabad made me realize that you are different but in a good way. You are like no-nonsense kind of girl and extremely caring (remember the new year evening when we went out for dinner:P). You seem so innocent, cute, and intelligent, dont worry I am not denying that you are. One of the reasons I admire you a lot is because the things which I lack interest in or dont possess those traits are the things which you are an expert on, like reading novels, good quizzer, systematic, organized, introvert, nerdy, weird and soft spoken (though this last thing is changing ;) ). Even though I keep on pulling your leg the entire day, you have never felt bad because you always take it in a good spirit, so will continue to do so in future ;) I know you have come a long way in terms of socializing with people and finally I can proudly say you are breaking into the league of normal people. So kudos to you for that. I am glad that I got to know you so well although sometimes I am puzzled by your hysterical laugh ;) And how can I not mention this point that you are a true city fan:P I know you will remain the same person that you are now and will do amazing things in life....

Tushar Gupta

Rajni! You are extremely polite, patient, knowledgeable and one of the sweetest people I have come across :) Back in 1st year I always identified you as that quiet girl who has a very unfortunate seating place :P but post RIP trip, I realised you are a good quizzer, amazingly well read, very knowledgeable and yet so humble! I personally feel you should take more credits for your achievements than u normally do :) I am sure you have a very bright future ahead of you :) I wish you all the success in life and do keep in touch :)...ROHINI H

Girl! You are truly a wonderful person. You are a rare combo of being nerdy, fun to hang out with and extremely knowledgeable about almost everything under the sun. Although i must now say, you are extremely extremely modest about most things and you always underrate yourself.

I have had some very good memories of the times we spent together. All the very best for a bright future. Stay happy. Stay blessed :)...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Female quizzers are one of the rarest things on earth, and Rajni being awesomest among them. A very down to earth and soft spoken person, a brilliant student. An awesome quizzer who is perpetually tensed about the questions she set up for quizzes being too easy. She is the best Lit quzzer in the quiz club. During all the events, she always came up with nice ideas. It is a pleasure to be your friend. All the best for your future!...SENAJIT CHAKI

Hardest testimonial to write by far. Does anyone know the real rajni at all? :P As sena da has mentioned a particularly rare rare rare breed of female quizzers , one whom i have been very fortunate to have partnered with( am being serious , dont laugh :P) . A stud mathematician who gave up the dream of solving one of the millennium problems to pursue a career in the mundane but lucrative world of finance :P Very well read girl ( i cant even spell the names of the books she reads..is it sisyphus or cicephus? :P) and extremely intelligent and very chilled out .Numerous times me and arindam pull her leg for no reason at all and she takes it sportingly. I will add to arindam’s point and say you are the only legitimate female friend i have on campus( double the honour for u :P ) . Stay the same and hope to win a quiz with you in mumbai. I promise. No ditching :D ...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI

Rajni.. so i am writing this post again ;) ek baar aur taarif kar deta hu :P u r one of the most wonderful n charming persons i have met on campus. u r very polite and too humble to accept your talent and achievements. mathematics and quizzing genius :) but really u take lot of tension on every small things which happen in your life. try being more relaxed as u have worked very hard and it is time for u to enjoy ur life in a much more calm manner. i remember the small conversations that we used to have after dinner, it was very very nice talking and sharing little things with u. i wish we could have spent more time together in second year but u are a very busy person to mai kya kar sakta hu :P. all the very best for ur life. i am very happy that ur hard work has paid off in terms of the profile that u wanted after IIM. take care and do keep in touch :)...SHIVANG GUPTA

RAT KARAN

Karan Rathod, the ever cheerful person :-). J-Block Johny, first met him during the Bakra time. His ability to come up with one liners which made everyone laugh,choke while eating were amazing. Have never seen him getting angry during my entire stay at IIM Indore. His profile pics on Facebook are legendary :p. Had an amazing time chatting during nights(2AM!!) before the ET exam, chit chats during lunch/ dinner,alongwith Chitresh, Hitesh, Camera. Your tips regarding handling of Group Assignment would definitely be remembered :d. The daily ritual of going to Pi-Shop post dinner would definitely be missed :-) [Also the moment of you hiding below the bed to avoid birthday bumps ;)]. You along with Chitresh, Karan, Hitesh made my first Hostel life truly memorable. Glad to have a friend like you, Wishing you all the very best for future :-) and hope that our paths may cross again in the future...PANKAJ DHINGRA

Whenever I thought about having a meaningful and rational conversation, I approached Karan Rathod. He is a brave and confident person, always willing to stand up and help a friend(s) in need :) . I’m sure he will become a successful person someday and I also hope that he’ll remember me whenever he thought about IIM-I. Dude, I truly wish you the best and happy life....VANLALROSIAMA RALTE

KKR: J block Johny and the person who always used to scream â??Ali Monish.... Ali Monish..â?? ....this is how you became famous in J Block. Karan you are also famous for that typical accent...arey karneka na...janeka na...honeka re...Jokes apart you are humble, down to earth and fun loving person. I never saw you getting angry on anyone at any moment...thatâ??s the personality very few ppl have. We had some

memorable moments at J Block parties and I enjoyed each of them.... Best wishes for your career...keep in touch!!...ANIKET YEVALKAR

One of the most friendly and cheerful persons I had the fortune of spending my time with. Always helpful, it was great to have you as a wing mate.

The chats we had standing in the corridor, making fun of each and everything under the sun, were always the best part of the day. I guess it was you who came out with the unique way of shouting Ali’s name and his Sacc title :D. Would definitely remember you wearing 3 pants and hiding under your bed to avoid birthday bumps :p. Jokes apart, your ability to bond with people is remarkable. I wish you the very best in your life :) ...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

Rathod, reminds me of the IPL team from my hometown....a fun-loving cum serious person. Will always remember the “jokes” we cracked on the corridors of top floor, irritating Dhingra and Vamsi and shouting randomly. It was fun working with you as a volunteer of Indore Marathon.

Stay the cheerful person that you are and wish you all the best in life :)...

MAINAK BHOWMIK

Rathod was the fashion icon of our floor in J-block.Those who have doubts about it can browse through his fb profile pics :p.He is probably the only guy in the campus who has got pants,shirts and sandals with matching colours. On a serious note, he has got an amazingly positive attitude even in the face of adversity which has helped him in sailing through some difficult times during the course.He makes fun of everyone but never hesitates to help.He is one of the few freshers in campus who has interest in IT which is justified by his grades in ISM-1,2 :P.wish you all the best for your career...:-) ...ALI MONISH P E

Well, my all time partner for pulling Vaishali’s leg ;) ... you have been one great companion for me- a complete entertainer during classes, a sincere student during exams, a fun-loving friend... I missed all the great times we people used to have in classes during first year in my complete second year except for AMR classes which were a real fun because of u and vaishali... btw kabhi nazar mat lagana mujhe future mein... teri baat zyada hi lagti hai... :P Will miss u... All the best for future! Keep in touch... ...VIBHUTI AGARWAL

Karan is a fashionista :P Mr. Section B presents him to class in dresses (especially footwear) unimaginable ...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASAN-

Karan Rathod.. I have first known you as Vikalp’s neighbour but since then our friendshi has come a long way. :) For whatever little time that we have been together for, but I have always enjoyed your company a lot. You are a great person with strong determination. Hats-off to your confidence in yourself. All the very best for your future endeavours, keep in touch! :D...PRAKARSH AREN

Heyy... Got to know you better during summers at Indore. Had lots of fun from PD to Trance. Enjoyed a lot. Be the way you are. All the best for the future!!.. ...SWARNENDU SEN

my bakra group mate and first gujju i met at planet-i nd since then i knew our bond is going to be more than just group mates in bakra group. rathod sahab (hope you remember, during rural immersion) is always fun to be with. So many nakhras he has while eating in mess. wastes half of his food...... but to surprise if the food is good then you will be stunned by looking at his appetite....loves to wear different styles of clothes.....studious intelligent and xtremely hardworking guy.... my DJ dancing partner......its always we both left on dancing floor..... it was always fun how we supported each other to argue against other people nurturing our gujju bond :-P nice at heart and xtremely helpfull..... very strong nd opinionated in his thinking.....we have spend two beustifull years together and wish to be in contact in fututre..... may god bless you with all hapiness in ur life....:-)...PRIYA PARMAR

Karan Rathod a lively person who would always make you feel lively with his charm . Very down to earth person. He was my neighbour and a fellow Johnnie in first year at the same floor. I still hear the shouts “ali monish aayee” that you guys used to make. :D A simple looking person yet very witty and naughty at the same time. Love his simplicity and hard work.. Wish you good luck buddy and stay in touch :) cheers...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Mr. IB turned into General Management.....1st year and even many subjects were fun cause of our discussions on Vibhuti :)....uska tension lena n humara use aur tension dena was great fun...Mr. Fashionist.....

I really start feeling confident :P....It was great knowing u and cracking jokes with u...always be cool and funny like this...good luck :)...VAISHALI SHARMA

Fuc**r I have never abused anybody more than you :D :D that is the rapport i share with u :) u are a genuine person at heart. Im lucky to have u as my wingie in J block for one whole year. I was disappointed when you were allocated another hostel in 2nd year. Anyways you were one of the very few close friends i have on campus. I remember bugging you all day long in J block. The way we made fun of Hitesh kumar chand and pankaj dingra was epic. I will miss all those moments. We had a really great time in RIP trip. You are a extremely hardworking guy. I remember getting tensed when i saw you preparing for the end terms. The way you paint your whole material with markers :-0 God knows how much you read.

You are extremely helpful and innocent. Stay that way no matter what. I know you will go places in the future. All the very best. Cheers for the fun we had!...YASARAPU VAMSIKRISHNA

Salman - remember our best moments during our summer internship stay at Planet-I. The late evenings shitty discussions we used to have with Mate, Ali Monish, Murmu, Piyush, Potti.. I used to enjoy those otherwise long tiring office days in midst of you all and our funny jokes and bird watching :) Good luck up ahead man!!...BISMAYY MOHAPATRA

Karan bole to Rathod?..the youngest one of the group and probably the loudest fellow on our floor :) I admire your dedication towards studies and you love for dancing.. DJ nights are not complete without Rathod showing his dandia moves. Ye ladka hamesha khush rehne ka..bole to mastt personality. We’ve been friends right from the first days at IIM Indore and I’ll cherish our daily dinner talks, walks and constant efforts of pulling Dhingra’s leg. We’ve shared laughs and the hostel life wouldn’t have been this fun without you.. I wish you the best for your future and sincerely hope you get rid of your RED pants :D ..Stay in Touch!!...Chitresh Singh

Rathod.. phod diya tune MBA.. seriously.. an extremely extremely hardworking and dedicated, committed guy I have ever seen..

Always enjoyed d funny little talks I had wid him..WIsh u a very good future ahead.. Stay Blessed!!!...SHETTI SRIDEVI ASHOK

Rathod bhai! :) You can talk to him for absolute hours and he will make you laugh all day long. He is so full of life, very hardworking and amazingly funny, distinctly remember chatting with him, poking fun at others (haha), discussing placements or what not. Heart of gold, he will be there to help you, in case you need him. Deserves much much much more in life, this is just the start - he’ll go places. All the best stay in touch! :)...VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

An amazingly hard working person who always does best in watever he undertakes...a true Nashikkar jo ek bar commitment krta hai fir khudki bhi nahi sunta :P May u have an amazing n gr8 life ahead....God bless u:)...Sneha Landge

Karan I knew you for a very brief time but it was really nice... you were very helpful and never onve ctribbe don my laziness in doing those in class assignments....I hope you acheive all that you want in life and that luck always shines over you :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

This guy is a true inspiration for me. I havenâ??t come across a person with such a positive attitude. What may come, Karan Rathod will face it with smile. Another great quality of his is humbleness. I still remember that day when we had a heated verbal argument on some random issue. After 3-4 hours Karan came to my room and extends hand of friendship towards me. That moment touched my heart. I havenâ??t seen a humble yet energetic guy like him in my life. We had a really fun time together. We were neighbours at J block 3rd floor. Along with us we had Ali monish, Karan kamra, Pankaj, Chitresh and Aksh. Man, what a team we were!!! Every hour we will come out of our rooms and pull each otherâ??s leg. Karan was master in pulling others leg. But on his Bday we took the revenge and pulled his leg literally :P ( Hope you remember what I am talking about ï?? ). Another worth mentioning memory is of Karanâ??s FB pics (Ali, you know what I mean right?) I ali and Karan kamra use to wait when Karan is going to upload a new FB pic. And then spam his pic with comments. Thanks for being such

a good friend man. I know you are one of the few individual in campus whom I could have relied for help �����.. You positive attitude will help you achieve great heights �� All the best for future �.. Do stay in touch. ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

Karan Sir! Our 1st memories hark back to sharing bus trip to the Central Mall..sitting in plush seats and sipping garam masala chai...all the while listening to Sonu Nigam sing paeans about Humari Shaan Patrika!:P I owe You and Aksh for having the brightest ideas about how to cut the visit short and spare ourselves! You are really a picture of strength and hats off to you for that! ATB for your future!...MONAMI BAGCHI

rathod.... although i am late in writing this.. but it surely is heartfelt.. i have had so much fun with you guys.. right from the BAKRA days to RIp.. and we dearly missed you in HOP mate... you sure are a great perosn to hangout with... all the two-person a side banters we had.. where we so frequently changed allegiances.. :P our crazy 4 people DJ parties.. our parties to sayaji.. :P eating all random crap there.. :P will surely miss you buddy... do keep in touch.. love you guys a lot.. :)...BYRISETTY SUSHMITHA

Some great times with you during the first year. We had some good times during the OB exercises in term 2 (remember the negotiation exercise :) ) and all the fun we used to have in class with ankur, vibhuti and vaishali.

Have a great career and a wonderful life. Do keep in touch !...KARTHIK HARIHARAN

DAR

POD RICHA

Richie-Rich, Chotu, RARE resource member and many other names to call you by. In the last 1 and half years we have worked together on many instances specially that BPR assignments...It was great to work with you. The first thing anyone notices when you talk is your smile...literally...even your CP used to start with that smile... The extra-curricular activities/ competitions you were part of in IIM Indore are simply countless... I guess SR-2 had become your second hostel apart from your own hostel block. Wish that you continue to be cheerful, fun-loving and ever helping person forever.....and all the best for your career !!!...ANIKET YEVALKAR

Mridang Maâ??am, dikhne me chhoti si but can handle mammoth like responsibilities. You are one of the nicest persons I have ever met. The best quality among many, which I found in you, is the way you gel up with people, how easily and comfortably you get compassionate with them, that is just rare in todayâ??s world. Itâ??s difficult to beat you when it comes to enjoy the party. In all those outings, dinners, section parties, parties in F block, â??lateâ?? night parties in room ;), even during the assignments we did together, I enjoyed every moment with you. Richie, I will always remember that piece of advice you gave to me towards the end of our first year, it works and I am sure it will work always. It really helped me a lot. Wish you tonnes of success in future.

Stay in touch. â?º...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

Richa! One of the most amazing people I have met at campus. And I thank my stars for being in Klueless as I donâ??t think I would have had the opportunity to know you that well otherwise. Though I canâ??t relate to your immense taste in books (I am not the avid reader you see),

I can safely say you are one of the most well-read people in our batch.

You also added diversity to the Klueless team in many ways (gender being just one of them) :P Your levels were clearly the most different and fresh amongst all of us. The parties were also crazy and it is always fun drinking with you (though you still donâ??t know how to smoke properly) :D Also, the FMCG group allowed me to see a different academically oriented side of you and again your inputs, even though few would make a lot of sense.

Now that we are a part of the same organization pool, and with decent chances of ending up at the same location, I look forward to more fun times together and I hope your taste in literature rubs off on me some day.

Stay blessed :)...ISHAN BOSE

Now who calls you up at 4am in the morning and says, “ Yaar Yoga karne jaana hai!!” Yup, my dedicated Bakra groupmate! One of my first and closests friends on campus. The one who would always make me late for the class :P [see I am very punctual actually] Richa is one of the most determined and decisive person you would meet. She will amaze you with the energy she will bring about and the marks she will get even after sleeping through all the classes. I still remember the time where you made Vikas wear a payal :D There are too many cherished memories with you and too little space here. I have learnt quite a lot from you and I wish you all the strength to live your life on your terms. ...VIDUSH ARYA

A wise man once said, “Dynamites like diamonds come in small packages”. I don’t think I can describe Richa any better. She’s a true diamond who could turn into dynamite once angered. It’s real fun seeing you in the after-effects of a party *wink wink* and I’d still have the recordings had you not deleted them from my phone. I’ve rarely seen someone with so much resolve and determination. Klueless parties would have been poorer without you. Had a lot of fun making and cracking Klueless levels with you, and I’m never gonna forgive or forget the pig Olympics and the van Gogh levels :D You got a great taste in music and movies, keep it that way. I’ll make sure you keep in touch and we’ll have one too many parties in the years to come! PS: You’re old, get married soon (I know I’m gonna get killed for this) :P...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Human beings are by nature critical and judgmental, and we love finding flaws in others. It says something when I propose that I have met a flawless individual in Richa. So much drive, energy and passion for things you believe in, is inhuman (positive wala inhuman). Determined as hell, she lives by the philosophy of ‘No work is small’ and she’s herself done

everything as part of Mridang (be it cleaning the Auditorium, distributing Cold drinks or pulling tables and chairs). On a personal note, she’s there when you need her. if you get stranded on an empty street at 4 in the morning and have nowhere to go, she’ll come. If you are disturbingly upset and need a shoulder to cry on, she’ll leave all her work and be by your side. If you don’t want to eat alone at a Food joint, she’ll pretend that she’s hungry and join you just to ensure that you have food. Her fun side is no less fun either. He crazy dances in DJ nights, Section parties etc. brought life to the party and rose everyone’s spirits. She is candid with her opinions and speaks her heart out-there’s no ‘Milawat’ in whatever she says- she says what she believes and she practices what she believes. A great observer and judge of men, she’s a born leader and will go places. I believe a nation like ours needs leaders like her. ...APAL

No matter how many years pass, I will always cherish the Klueless moments spent with you. Whether it be hours and hours of random ideas in Hitesh and my room, the emphasis we laid on closing the thinking loop in the level literally drove us mad on occasions but also brought out some amazing moments of laughter and craziness.Not to forget the alchocol nights and days , breakfast before sleeping , failed comet watching etc etc. Second yr I hardly spent time with youwas on exchange and you were waaaayyy tooo busy for the ordinary things :).But I do know that things havent changed. .All the best for a great future.I’m sure you’ll do well....HARSHVARDHAN V

RIcha..! the little girl with immense talent. I am glad the seating arrangement gave me some very good friends...I cherish our friendship for the rest of my life... You are a supporting person and never fail to say ‘hi’ with the trade mark smile..I wish you with a great career and happy life......AMBATI AVINASH

Richa!!!! One of my favorite people on campus. :) Being in the same project group in term 1 and part of K8 team made us the closest of friends in Indore. Timepassing till 3 AM and then doing some random shit (read MAC and Tata Nano case) in the last few hours before the deadline. Fun times! But it got better as K8 happened :) Wanted to be part of Klueless from the start but it was mostly the team that made the experience even better. Most epic time during my two years here - the madness in creating levels drove us crazy and we brought out levels I had never imagined we were capable of (read Random, Inception,

Chess and many more :P) Still remember crazy K8 parties and you losing it almost always :P Second year mein aap toh busy ho gaye (bade log!!) and couldn’t spend time with you. But Mridang was fun and the credit goes to you! :) Kudos! I am sure you’ll do well in future and I hope to stay in touch with you (after all you are coming to Chennai :P). Probably we should regularly meet and make levels for the future Klueless editions. :) ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

Extremely hard working girl, loves to micro manage, knows how to lead a huge team. Richa is an amazing person who has so much energy and passion for the things she pursues. She knows how to drive the team. She is soft spoken, mature, intelligent and smart. She is a good natured person and is always concerned about others. It was a great experience working with her for Mridang. She really glued the entire team together. She also likes to party as I have heard from her section mates :). Wishing you all the best for future. I know you will do wonders in life :) ...Tushar Gupta

Richa, it is kind of unbelievable that such a childish looking girl has so much energy packed in her. One of my closest friend in campus, a very sharp and smart girl. With whom you can discuss anything under the sun.

A very mature person, and an awesome coordinator. I feel proud to work under you in Mridang. You served as an inspiration to everybody. Going beyond all these official sounding topics, I’ll always cherish our night mess stints and long chats about books, movies, songs and everything else over coffee. Our unplanned jam sessions while waiting for dosa. A very approachable friend, who is ever ready to listen to you and give you meaningful inputs. A smart, sharp, passionate, hardworking and brilliant girl like you bound to make it big in life. We hope to stay in touch. Wish you all the best for your future!!...SENAJIT CHAKI

Chotu!!! The life of RARE, it would be impossible to put into words the life that Richa brings into a group. Always there to support you irrespective of her own difficulties, her enthusiasm is infectious. The countless times she has listened to my tantrums, and helped me get over a sad result, be it grades or competitions!! Do you remember the comment made in PGP-1?

That was when I got to know you, and from then, our friendship has only increased exponentially. My passion for Friends is matched only by yours :). Always be this cheerful and awesome! Hope we end up getting the same location. Keep in touch irrespective of that! Best of luck for future, personally and professionally!...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

Richa!!! you are a person filled with pleasantness, calmness and patience..... the way you say hello every single time we passby is really amazing.... you like to stay connected and that is the best quality you got.... you got an amazing smile and if there is anyone in the campus who can beat me for having a smiley face( as friends say it :P) it must be you!!! .... Keep in touch richa!!! Cheers gal!!!...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Boss kaun tha Malum hai kya? Boss kaun hai Malum hai kya? :D Richa we never really interacted much in first year. For us it was the second year when we started bonding. A big big thanks to Mridang especially for that :). Knowing you was indeed a pleasure. I have hardly come across people who are so organized and so committed towards doing the responsibilities they took.Totally respect you for that. I loved each and every moment spent with you. Be it your tantrums or your laughter :D Loved every bit of it. Watching those videos together and laughing our heart out was indeed fun. I hope you do great in your life :) Cognizant main macha dena :). Always stay in touch. Keep smiling the way you always do :D...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

I came to know about Richa when I was in Infy BBSR DC, cos she also cracked IIM Indore from the same DC. But met her for the first time at Planet I only. The first thing, and probably the best thing, I noticed about her is that she talks so sweetly. I mean very sweet. Bugged me almost for a year to get ChennaPoda from home :P Hope you liked it.

In campus, she participated in almost all the corporate competitions and cracked most of them. Our paths will cross again at Cogni. All the best for future....RASHMI RANJAN KAR

There are some people whom you meet and then forget, others whom you meet and stay in touch and only a very very few who become a part of your life and stay along. Richa, you have played so many roles in these 2 years for me. That of a friend, a companion, a mentor, a critic, the list goes on. Even for the individual competitions, I have never submitted the final document without first showing to you and it has become a habit now for everything. In a way, you have spoiled me with your super selfless and always “giving” nature. Me, EMS and Bapat would always be indebted to you for the way you helped us with our LIME presentation. Not because you worked relentlessly even without being a part of it, but because you defined the true essence of RARE. My MBA would have been incomplete without you, Richa!

Would miss you the most when I will ever be hungry. On your request, giving the second â??Râ?? to you. raRe zindabad! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Richa! My besty :P Richa is the first one amongst our RARE group whom I met and is one of my closest friends at IIM Indore! Now she is the ‘Chotu’ of our group! Our group would never be the same without you! Imagine having to spend time with just Ruchik and Bapat!! God No! :P Thanks for just being here Chotu! :D You are the one that binds us all together :) You make RARE ‘rare’ (R+ARE=RARE :D)...Hahaha.. Her perseverance and determination is something I admire. Be it the long hours without sleep she used to put in during competitions or the insane amount of time and energy she put into Mridang, her perseverance is admirable! Always cheerful and ready to have fun, Richa, has been the kind of friend who wants to make sure all of us are well and good. Anything that she finds amiss, she has to probe into it until she is satisfied that there is nothing serious! We all love you Chotu :) We will always be the RARE group and always be friends :) Be the same cheerful, caring friend you are! All the best in your life ahead!...ESHWAR M S

Richap has been the total support system for me here. Had she not been there I could only imagine myself to have been a lil more messed up in life. Have had wonderful memories of yes, the KAROAKE in Vidushâ??s room, the no. of small outings, the gyan n feedback sessions b/w both of us, strolling around the campus in search of company to accompany for a party after xmz got over :D(remember??) , Kya pehanna hai se lekar dekhna mera presentation ek baar dekhna n more. Waking her for the class to waking her up in the class was total fun :P. But not to forget she s the brightest grl in the campus and a complete workaholic and alcoholic both at the same tym :P.. Heck of a person. Remember both of us falling in the corridor after we had returned from an outin :D.. There are numerous memories Richaâ?¦ to small a place to jot dwn everythinâ?¦ Wsh u luck and all the happiness, Just too happy to have come across you, keep in touch ladki â?¦ God Bless!!...SUMITA KERKETTA

RICHAAA - Someone said it rightly...great things come in small packages...You are one cute,extremely hardworking and understanding “LADY’.

Having known you for two years is an honour for me. Our common love for coffee...short dresses...dressing up in SR14 and the time we have spent in J Block has been amazing. Ill always remember how you used to be so sleepy in class..and will remember our assignment time during Term 1. Youre an amazing person Richa :D Love you...PALAK MAHANOT

Richa was someone whom I barely interacted with for most of the course, until recently, so its very surprising that it feels like we have been friends for a very long time :) I always had a very high opinion about her, but my opinion has only changed for the better since knowing her more. Her incredible work ethic be it in Mridang or in Competitions is well documented, but what stands out to me is her sweetness towards everyone, her genuineness and her exquisite taste. The way she empathizes with her friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; problems is also something I really appreciate. Richa, all I can say is, continue being the awesome person that you are :) And finally ya, we need to revive our movie club before we leave this place :D ...Deepak Talluri

ROHIN

The girl who always sleeps in the class (She once told me that itâ??s some disease!), the girl who trolls so many times that itâ??s now difficult to keep that count, the girl who eats so much and then again wants to go to the night mess:-D H, you are a great friend to have. Also, itâ??s quite remarkable to see the dedication with which you work for the things, like IIC, Utasha, Currenc-I and everything. Like we always said, you make the life of your colleagues so easy; they donâ??t have to work at all:-P. Waise, You speak very well and are super confident and everyone respects this. All the best! ...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL

Rohini, You are someone I immensely respected since day 1. I am a big fan of your confidence, your calmness under pressure and even your voracious appetite :) But most of all, I am also quite happy that my prediction has come true. Wish you all the success and happiness in your future endeavors....Deepak Talluri

The first girl I spoke to on campus Or should I say the first girl who dared to speak to me ( I had those crazy side burns ..:) ) Your rocket speed speech and wit is something worth experiencing than explaining. I will not even mention about your work ethic, the world knows. A very busy girl on campus You were able to handle so many PORs with utmost ease. You have a beautiful smile but well the moment I took the camera out things were different. Please give away that poker face and let the mortals capture your beautiful mystical smile. All the best..!!!

Lastly I want to shout “Rohini for President” ...SUMANTH J

I know no other girl in campus as talented and smart as you. And still you are so down to earth about it. The kind of confidence and dedica-

tion that you have is commendable. One who can handle work equivalent of 10-20 people with such ease. Very intelligent, sincere, sweet, friendly and cheerful. But still, you will be most remembered for the fact that you must have slept in almost all the sessions in these two years and also your infinite capacity to eat! :D All the best for all your future endeavors ...SONICA GUPTA

I think I’m the first non-section C person to write here! Rohini is the most helpful person you can have around and one of the most meticulous people you can have on your team if you’re competing for an event. She’ll go out of her way to help you and this, despite always having to contend with a hectic schedule (she gets involved in too many activities and is the proverbial workaholic). She is the personification of the phrase ‘Seedhi Sadhi’ (although it has come to my attention that she’s suddenly found a liking for long drives...hmm ;) ) Good luck for your life ahead, Hech! I’m sure you’ll be very successful :)...ANOORAG BISWAS

Utsaha’13 wouldn’t have been fun without you. Thanks for tolerating my pjs and tp jokes. I have immense respect for you as a senior. Thanks a lot for all the memorable moments. ...AKHIL KRISHNAN SHOBA

H- I remember giving you the award for Miss Sleeping Beauty during our section party and it seems as if nothing has changed as I just saw your pic of sleeping at Harvard. :P Your quirks, your random statements, your ordering of chilli mushroom and baby corn, your always coming late, everything has given me and all of us in the group a lot of memories to smile about even years later. I still remember you calling a goat as sheep in the Himalayas and your saying that when the weather is cold, you feel hungry and telling that it’s scientifically proven. I know we all make pull your leg all the time but inside, everyone does respect you a lot. And it is because you are one of the most hardworking persons around; if you set your sights on something, you ensure that it is done in the best possible way.

And I know, you’ve always criticized me and in not so humble words for saying this, but everyone in the Himalaya group literally loves you! Tu bas tension lena kam kar de. You are surely going to become the CEO of an organization because tune Pepsi project me mujhse aur Gulati se kaam nikalwa diya tha which is an almost impossible job. Remember always, There is always a reason to Smile! Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Rohini, I bonded with you over the innumerable food outings and, cheers to luck, discovered a great friend. Apart from being a master at belting

everyone, she has been a confidant and a very concerned friend. In first year, I thought you were addicted to work! :P Gladly though, you’ve made me think otherwise now (Or was it the PPO)! You are a fabulous marketeer and are bound to reach great heights at work!

I am glad our paths met, partIcularly on the way to restaurants :P...

Sneha Tyagi

A super fun and easy going person. It was always great to have you around. You shall always be remembered as the one who dozes off in classes unmindful of whoever was there in the class to teach (including jayasimha which somehow amazes me :P) I’m really glad to have met you. All the very best for a bright future ahead :)...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

The most hard working person in our batch - that’s Rohini in a nutshell.

I’ve rarely seen someone with so much perseverance and dedication to whatever she does. Over the last 2 years, she’s been a fantastic teammate to have. I’ve always had fun working with her, as I know that she’d take care things don’t go wrong. And the best part, she could talk for hours together! I’ve heard a lot about her sleeping habits from everyone though I never got to witness it first hand. I’m sure she’d be successful wherever she goes. All the best and keep in touch!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

My budday buddie! Extremely talented marketeer, eloquent communicator, dedicated worker,.. and of course a voracious eater and sleeper, blessed with a miraculous metabolism :P I love walking into your room at random hours, blabbering out my weirdest idiosyncrasies, and watching your facial muscles trying to grin and frown at the same time :P You are one of the most genuine persons i’ve ever met- simple yet inspiring. Love you.. may you be blessed with all the success that you rightly deserve :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

The most dedicated and hard working person in all of IIM Indore. Good to witness it in term 1 assignment groups. Still remmeber that you used to come and finish off the assignment in 2 hours flat. Managing studies and all extra-curriculars at the same time. The crowned “sone ki chidiya” of Section C. You are truly a wonderful person and have no doubts that you will be highly successful in life. ALl the best!! :)...

SWARNENDU SEN

Ro (haven’t used that in a while now, have I?) I was amazed when you first presented during the JPC manifestos, and I remember Anshu telling me back then, this girl is awesome! After that, I don’t remember much during first year till IIC happened. You’ve been great to work with, almost superlative. You’re focused, diligent, professional and straightforward. You are a workaholic of sorts I always find it easy to talk to you about anything, and to ask you for an opinion before deciding. Off late I’v been among the privileged ones to know you more personally - your crazy sleeping habits, your insane appetite (our who can eat more contests) LOL! You’re headstrong, but at the same time emotional and balanced in every sense.

Working with you in Dream Team and some other competitions was a completely different experience as compared to IIC, where we were more chilled out I guess. Glad to have connected so well. Hope this continues for life.. Cheers n God Bless ...Raoul Lopes

My foodie partner :) I am glad that I found someone who is as excited and enthusiastic about eating good food as me. I wish I would have known you since term one. We will definitely make a good pair whenever there is any food competition :). There are so many sides to you that I cant even cover. I know you have a serious disease since childhood - Sleeping in class :p that you use as an excuse whenever anyone points out. Sitting beside you in IMC lectures and particularly RMS lectures have made me realize one thing that I have never seen anyone sleep so peacefully and continuously for an hour in a lecture. Another dimension to you is your hard work. Whether it be IIC or Utsaha or any project you devote yourself completely. You are a very smart and efficient person. Also I have never seen anyone speak so confidently and fluently as you and I respect you for that. One more dimension to you is your trolling habit which you keep on doing time to time. And your expressions are epic, no one can ever match that ;). You are a very cool, kind and sweet person, always willing to help others. You have always been there whenever I needed help. I will fondly remember you helping me for interviews (btw I still have that paper with me in which you wrote what all things to put forward in an interview and what not :p). I wish you all the best for your future and I am sure you will do wonders. Have a great life ahead!...Tushar Gupta

I have known you as the talented, super confident and one of the coolest girls here. You balance all your work so well, and are such a perfectionist, a thing I really would like to learn from you. Your active interest in quizzing and knowledge are other things I respect about you. Your famous smile is something I will always remember :P I still remember how you carried

Kotler to the RIP trip and only later did I realise that it was only meant to help you fall asleep :P Wish you the best for a bright future ahead! :)...RAJNI RANJAN

Whoever thinks IIC did not have a secy is wrong, we have functioned in the able guidance of Captain Rohini..:P There was something peculiar about your CP. In most classes you were found sleeping, but the day you were up, no one else ever got a chance to speak. Coming to serious stuff, IIC was able to justify its existence and make some meaningful contribution to campus, and you were an integral part of that success, perhaps one of the most vital parts. Looking forward to work alongside..:) Stay blessed and obviously we’ll stay connected.

ATB....Vishal Vyas

I got to know Rohini after i joined IIC.. She is a real Iron Woman, Captain of our team.. very active, quick witted, workaholic person.. Bellwether of our committee and a fast decision maker.. I think she is the only Marketing enthusiast who thought that Kotler teaches at Harvard :P.. You are an extrovert and have an excellent work ethic.. You are bound to excel in the corporate life.. ATB and keep in touch :)...Parth Kosada my neighour for 2 years...one woman army :) excellent worker...lazy but still gets things done perfectly...sleeping beauty of section C...very very sensible....never says no to having fun...ATB for ur future...hope u have a great one :) stay in touch...PREETHI S

The Amazonian Woman! The Girl with loads of charisma; people get attracted to her just listening to her! Possibly the reason for her huge network of influence, which includes Mr,Ravichandran. Whatever she says sounds right, though, often times we end up being on the opposite sides of an argument. She will definitely see many more achievements in her career! ATB!...VAMSI KRISHNA BETHAPUDY

Confident and bold - something that describes you aptly. I have had memorable times with you in IIC. All the times we spent gossiping during our meetings and the times we spent in teasing vyas, jointly :P :P you are one person who takes responsibility and leadership and executes them effectively, a big foodie and a sleeping beauty (as most others have put :P :P).. It was fun working with you during the past 1 year and I hope that we stay in touch. Wish you all luck and success :) :)...SUHASINI G K

I first saw you on stage during JPC manifesto and dude the confidence you had left me awe-struck. You were the perfect person for PlaCom and I always wanted to work with you but nonetheless we ended up in Utsaha team and Wrigleys, and working with you was a great experience. Your practical ideas and the calmness with which you work are really impressive. The way you worked for the conclave was an inspiration for all of us. Hope to stay in touch with you :) All the best for your career, I’m sure you’ll rock \m/ ...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

I got acquainted to you from the very 1st day on planet-I..we’ve been neighbors since 1st year..can’t forget how we used to get up all sleepy and say “shit I missed my class” “oh me too” :D, the MAC hariya torture and b4 the exam discussion “have done nthng till now :D” was happy to know that there is someone else also who has the sleep-in-class syndrome :D You are a very sincere, hardworking, witty and confident person who is very clear in her thoughts and ideas. It was great working with you during Utsaha. I’m sure you will do great in your life ahead :) All the very best for the future.. Stay happy :) Stay in touch :)...POOJA JUGRAN

Met her on the very first day at IIM-I for doing some BAKRA assignmentsâ?¦.. One of the smartest persons I have ever met. Really amazed by her dedication towards any task she takes. She is very helpfulâ?¦. saved me by correcting some silly mistakes in my resume. A very genuine personâ?¦ just stay the same!! All the best :)...RAJDEEP PAUL

Rohini is someone that I truly admire and respect, especially for her levelheadedness and straight-forward nature. She’s a quick thinker (and talker), and can find smart, practical solutions to the toughest of situations. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I salute the sincerity and honesty you always put into your work. All the best Rohini, and keep in touch!...

BEST MARKETER EVER!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Rohini! One glance is enough to say she s “Made for corporate” :) Her placomm presentation was impressive! Gladly, her skills were destined for Currenc-I (which she ditched in year-2 x-( ) She remains fresh and energetic at all times (charges by sleeping in classes :P ). I was impressed with your cool temperament, drive to do different things and love for marketing. It was great to interact with you during those currenc-i meetups. I am sure you ll reach great heights. Wishing you good luck :)...SRINIVAAS G

RUCH

Ruchik...[well many profs called him Kirti during attendance (thanks to Bapat) :P] is the undisputed stud of the batch. Some of your CPs were the best I heard in two years, only Apal can give you competition there. Man, how could you go through every reading before every class and analyse cases so thoroughly! You epitomize the age old saying....there is no shortcut to success. My most memorable and hilarious moment with you came in third term when you asked me whether I had gone through the HR readings as Nambudiri decided to take a surprise quiz. You proved for once that you can be lazy sometimes.

Seriously, being your neighbour in class had no effect on me :P Wishing you all the best in your future and hope to meet you sometime soon :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

The BCG case study competition was the best presentation I have made - and there is only one person to thank for it: You! I had only heard myths of your PPT prowess and case analysis ability until then; now I am believer. That aside, I’ve had a lot of fun with the random banter and quick conversations in the corridor. You were always a really good friend and most importantly a great guy. There’s not a shadow of a doubt in my mind (or anyone’s for that matter) that you’re going to do really well, where ever you go! Here’s to a wonderful life to come. Cheers!...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

History is created by men, Legends are created by Super-men!! Gandhi!! THE SECY!! The one with the Midas touch.. I guess such exclamations itself will run into multiple lines!! I first met you on the first day of PGP-1 and like school buddies, became friends with you mainly because you sat next to me!! :P But these two years, I have learnt so

much from you!! (too many exclamation marks!!) All these competitions, as team mates, as co-coordinators, as coordinator-participant... Its been a great time working with you, brainstorming(!!), arguing (“tu kya bol raha hain”).. The legendary Diro vs us argument (“You dont teach me how to recruit professors”)!! I guess I will have to limit my comment, since I think there will be considerable fight for space here :P. I have no doubt about your success in life and career, also wishing that the legacy you have created at IIM Indore, lasts long!!! ATB dude!!!! (too many exclamations, I know)...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

Ruchik... Its been great knowing you. I feel that i am very lucky to work with you.. It all started of with Eshwar introducing us and later you were my mentor for CV... I was really amazed by the dedication and attention to detail you showed while putting my CV together. Our friendships developed during organizing Chanakya.. This is one event that I owe to a lot as I made a lot of friends.. Thanks a lot for that!!!! In fact you have taken 8 interviews for me so far and this is by far the highest compared to others. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and also knowing you as a person..

Few years from now, I will probably telling my friends “You know what...

I am a friend of RUCHIK GANDHI!!!” Thank you for everything dude :):) I am very sure that you will rock where ever you choose to pursue your career. - Preetam Gupta...PREETAM R GUPTA

RKG...that is how I call you.....A great person to work with, to have as a friend. A true consultant and many other adjectives which will fall short to describe you. I have seen very few people who have so much dedication for any task they do...you are one of them. I wonder what keeps you going to get more and more...competitions main toh koi tuze competition hi nahi de sakta....I guess now you should start some philanthropic activities towards your friends in IIM Indore... :P...Jokes apart I really admire whatever you do in terms of academics, co-curricular activities and everything.... wish you all the best for your career !!! Ruchikbhay bhulna matt ....!!!...

ANIKET YEVALKAR

Before joining the institute I had googled for people at IIM Indore and an interesting result turned up of a founder of Accelerate. Later this chap comes to the induction program and starts taking a lecture at 3 in the morning on strategy which makes you sit up and listen. Then you figure out that this guy heads most of the happening things on campus and wins more accolades than possibly all of his batch put together. As time goes

by I got to know him better through my association with a few initiatives

headed by him like the Consulting Club and Share and I realized that he is one of the future leaders of the business world. Ruchik, wish you all success; make IIM Indore proud!...VINAYAK S

Gandhiji is IIM Indore’s stud: one in the Top-50 of the batch, heads some of the most glamorous PORs on campus, wins every goddamn competition and has some words of wisdom to share on each case discussed in class. One can learn focus, sincerity and politeness from him. You did justice to most of your responsibilities on campus and have still managed to perform greatly as an individual. Respect you for that. I hope you’ll scale greater heights in life and make the campus and people who have known you feel proud of you. ATB. God bless.:)...Vishal Vyas

SIr!! aap Dude hai!! you can do anything. I have one que. for you “ Koi itni mahenat keise kar sakta hai??” hardworking and smartness, these two words are sufficient to describe you. You are going to the best in whatever you will be doing. For me you are the only person who is really working in any club and adding some value!! Best luck for you undoubtedly glorifying and successful career:) ...Vishal Shah

Ruchik or rather The Ruchik, undoubtedly the most famous person on campus and soon will be famous for outer world also. The countless number of responsibilities to undertake and art of executing them in equally excellent manner is what is Ruchik. Although we started talking as friends from our 3rd term when we were in same academic group but I admired and respected you since the very beginning. You are the person who can create an everlasting effect on other just by 5 minutes talk. There will be a day in future when I will take full pride in saying I know Ruchik Gandhi and this Gandhi also knows me ;). We got one more connection, both of us being single child of our parents now have same sis â?º. Wishing you a very successful career ahead. Stay in touch. â?º...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

‘Perfect’ is the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Ruchik..and I’m sure everyone who knows him would agree on this :-D He’s clearly one of the most intelligent, dedicated and hardworking guys I know.. and I can’t help getting awed by his style of working and his composure even during the most demanding situations.. one of his great qualities is to give his best to everything that he does, even if it is the globe HR assignments that most of us would just copy from scribd

:-P..I’m sure you know how happy the people in your PGP groups used to be :-D “Hum toh ruchik ke group mein hain..toh humein grades ki kya tension” is what most of them used to say :-P Well, I can go on and on... so just to cut it short, you’re a really nice guy!! And extremely down to earth! :-) someone, whom no girl would think twice before taking home :-P And just to reiterate, you’re one of the most popular guys among girls (mind you, across batches! :-D)... Had a great time working with you! I’m sure you’re going to give us countless more reasons to congratulate you..and you truly deserve it.. wish you all the very best for all your endeavours!!

Stay blessed and keep in touch :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

“STUD” that’s how his batch mates describe Ruchik and “STUD” that’s how we juniors describe him. I am really lucky to have the Amdavadi connection with the stud :) . Ruchik was the first person with whom I interacted before joining the college and when I came down to the campus I got to know that this guy is one the Unchi Topi’s (VIP in gujju :P) of the college. He is one person whose laurels are sang by everyone on campus.I have consulted him on various topics and I must say that he has never disappointed me. Ruchik I have learnt a lot from whatever interaction we had, whether its how to go about your MBA, or whether its the NGO thing or whether its getting a quick tip or two for any competition you have never been short of any good advice for me. The thing which has really impressed me is your Humility and the calmness with which you carry yourselves. Thanks for everything Bro. I wish you all the luck for all your future endeavors. Cheers Mate and do keep in touch. :)...BHAKER SHRINIVAS GIRDHARILAL

Gandhiji is the most loved and respected person on Planet-I. Being in the same section, we spent a great deal of time together. I’ve had a chance to work with him on Mahindra War Room in the first year. It was an absolute delight to watch him work with total perfection. He has a never ending flow of energy which keeps him hooked to the job at hand. He is a true sport as he thoroughly enjoyed millions of Gujju jokes I cracked on him.

Gandhi, I will always remember the Dandiya Night (aka farewell) joke I cracked on you. Gandhi, you are a trustworthy friend who can always be relied upon for genuine advice. I wish you all the best for your career and life ahead. Hope to remain good friends with you! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Before coming to Indore, I talked to my seniors that I was confused between joining the Placecom or the Consulting Club, they said if it was any

other club they would have said join placecom and don’t even think about anything else, but Consulting Club has Ruchik, “God” banda hai wo... and I completely agree. One gets to learn so much just listening to you during club meetings, your organization skills, ppt skills (how could you make that AAP ppt? different level altogether), the list can go on, everything is amazing. Working with you has been phenomenal Ruchik, have learnt a lot. After becoming the Secy, people say bhai agla Ruchik aa gaya :) but I always maintain and will always do that there is only one & only one Ruchik Gandhi and one can only dream to reach his level. Best of luck and hope to see you becoming a CEO of a big firm somewhere down the line.. hum bhi keh saken humaara senior tha :) Do keep in touch and keep mentoring us :) ...SALIL AGGARWAL

Your long list of testimonials is already a witness of your large fan following on campus :P I am sure every one has already written a lot about your dedication and your sincerity and still no one can actually write enough about it. I have always had great respect for your dedication. Though I do wished that you could have taken out a little more time to chill :P It was always fun chatting with you i.e during the brief intervals when you decided to take breaks. I do wish we could have spent more time together. Its needless to say that you will definitely excel in all you do. Here’s wishing you luck for all your future endeavors. Do stay in touch :) ...HIMAKSHI GUPTA

Ruchik was one of the first persons who I met at IIM-I.. we were in the same bakra group as well.. i can still remember how sincerely we did those assignments :) i got to know him from that time only.. extremely hardworking, talented and a down to earth person.. Consulting has been his interest right from day 1 and he very well deserves it.. right from the days when he was in the junior team, i remember how he used to share about his work and plan for the club and taking it to greater heights.. Ruchik, i can say this with all conviction that you have taken the club to another level at IIM-I which no other club can reach. then in the second year, though he had so much of responsibilities, he used to apply for every competition.. i wonder how come can a person be so much focused.. There is no doubt absolutely that you will do well in your career and life. All the Best dude :) :) ...SIMPSON SELWYN

Ruchik you are one person I truly believe deserve much much more than what you have gotten till date. All the competitions, cracking IIM-

I, getting PPO from Mahindra, trust me I feel that you always got less than what your deserved (It’s supposed to sound as a compliment :P). In statistical terms, you are a true outlier which on its own increases the average by a lot and make us regular students look much much better collectively.

An Honest confession, I owe a lot to you. Though we never really got a chance to work together I have gained so much from you. Just looking at your presentations, listening to your analysis. I always had in my mind If I need to win anything, first I need to beat you (which I obviously couldn’t :P) but in the process you pushed me to my limits. I swear that someone has never inspired me the way you have done. I really wish you all the success in your life bro. You are definitely going to make it large and one day I will be telling that to everyone that I know Ruchik Gandhi, He’s a friend :D. Stay in touch buddy. Would never forget you :)...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

I first met you in some queue on day 2 at IIM Indore where you were giving some gyaan to your NIT people and I thought this is one of the irritating nerds; too soon realizing that I would be the one asking for that gyaan(Consulting) in everything I do on this campus. I feel honoured that you have allowed me to take your case all the while:p. But on a serious note you have been one of my closest friend and will be in Life. I will miss the endless discussions we had on IV days on all possible topics, the arguments to go out, go on exchange, â??be normal and humanâ??, RIP cooking, and of course I am sure you will still need my help to have the best toast. Haha I think I can go on and onâ?¦ But given the space others will need on this page, I know you will continue to be my Consultant forever:p ...Variksh Thaker

All Hail Gandhi...he easily has the highest ROI from this MBA program..beyond the awards and recognition what he has won is the heart of each and everyone of us.. He is the most popular guy in our batch and his sincerity and intellect is very enviable.. One of the first few people i met and liked on this campus, he is very likeable and i doubt there is anyone who would ever speak ill about him... One guy who is always Immaculately dressed and clean shaven.. One guy who is always full of enthusiasm even at 2 in the morning and one person who would always stand for what is right..

It is a pleasure to have known you and I am putting money on anything that you will ever pursue in life, because it is guaranteed to succeed.. You are one person who will take the name of IIM Indore to greater heights an d make us all proud.. A few years down the line I can see you smiling on the cover of ET with an article titled CEO of the year \ Entrepreneur of the year.. Stay in touch :) ...VARUN LAKRA

New friend no.1 at IIM-Indore and what a way to start it was. Gandhi, you came all guns blazing into IIM-Indore and itâ??s awesome that your drive and enthusiasm hasnâ??t died down one bit ever since.

Youâ??re level of planning, discipline, dedication and hard-work are things I could only hope to replicate at some point of time in my life.

Work-ethic apart, youâ??re a gem of a person and your thoughts and opinions are ones I hold in very high regard. If thereâ??s one person who came into this college with BHAGs and achieved it all â?? thatâ??s you!!! Always be the â??achieverâ?? you are Gandhi. I hope to see you in high places sooner rather than later....SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

1st term: He’s Good, 2nd term: Oh my god, he’s really good, 3rd term: He’s the brightest one around, 4th term: How the hell can he be so great, 5th term: Oh I am sick and tired of praising him and liking his FB victory posts, 6th term: What’s wrong with him, why can’t he just relax and stop winning competitions and PPOs for a change.. Well, that’s Ruchik Gandhi for you, tireless striving, never resting on one’s laurels, continuously climbing the ladder yet never ever forgetting the base, standing by principles, never quitting,, never compromising. The Samurai of IIM Indore, Ruchik is a natural leader because he leads by example. A lot many other accolades have already been showered upon him, so I don’t need to reiterate them :). I still remember the day when I leaped in joy and ran from JAM to PI shop shouting ‘Ruchik is in my group, Ruchik is in my group”. On a personal note, you are one of the best friends I have made here because you are always ready to listen. Am happy that despite your hectic schedule, we’ve been able to spend some time together :P.. Am sure will hear about you more from the media than in person. Exciting times are ahead :)...APAL

The first person that I met in Indore - a sweet smile, clean shaven and backpacked ; I can still picture it ! Focussed and hardworking, you are an inspiration for me and many others...Truly the Last Man Standing ! Special thanks for all your management during the RIP :D We have shared a common sense of humor to Soham’s act and words - the way we look at each other and giggle :D Given your talent and qualities, You have a bright future ahead, provided you do not do a rabbit by getting carried away by all the praise and pampering (above and below) :P All the Very Best !! Let’s resolve to meet whenever we are in a common city ! :)...AYUSH AGARWAL

No words would be enough to define this Gem of a person- the heart

throb, the stalwart and a legend indeed. Never seen a better blend of gravity and fun, your achievements speaks for itself (doubt he missed out winning any competition). Would always regret the fact that I couldnâ??t make it to the Consulting Club cause thereâ??s so much to learn from this unique adorable individual. You indeed are the â??Chanakyaâ?? of IIM-I and it was great learning experience to be a part of the team. All hail the â??Consulting Godâ??, wish you all the luck for all your future endeavours and I conclude in the words of Marc Antony- Here was a â??Ruchikâ??! when comes such another?...IIM I will always miss youâ?¦.:)...TRISHAL KARAN BHAGAT

It was great to meet and learn from you. Sometimes I feel you are an algorithm continually searching for excellence that sprung to life :P Its nice to note that you spend a good deal of time with friends and in networking as well. I am thankful to you in various occasions especially for the tie you lent me during summer intern. I feel its a very lucky tie :) Despite my efforts, we cudn’t team together for anything, presumably bcoz I am not upto your standards :( Moving on.. Wishing you good luck for the times ahead :) Keep the conquered tag running :)...SRINIVAAS G

One would rarely find a person like you- hardworking, intelligent, disciplined, accomplished, yet so humble and down to earth. I had an amazing time interacting with you during the club meetings and otherwise. Every interaction was a great learning experience. You are the star of Consulting Club and will always be :) Wish you all the luck for your future endeavors.. stay in touch :)...VRITI SIDANA

Ruchik is someone who you would feel proud to tell ur friends that is how good, students are at IIM Indore. Frankly, he was more of an acquaintance than a friend to me in the first year. And even in the first part of second year, he was more of an ‘Eshwar’s friend’ whom I would interact in a very formal way. And its only in the last few months or so, I got to know Ruchik really well and can count him among my very good friends. Even if you dont know Ruchik that well, you would still think he is a very sincere student, very efficient, a logical thinker who is good at so many extracurricular activities and PORs and a probably a potential highly successful consultant. Well he is all that and much more, he is a perfect allrounder, loves to have fun and is much more of a party guy than most of us: D He is also a caring friend and someone I really enjoy conversing with. Finally, he does not really need my best wishes, coz if there is one person whom I have to take a bet on who would be incredibly successful in the future, it would be Ruchik :)...Deepak Talluri

You are someone whom i aspired to become when i first came at IIM Indore. That is one reason why i wanted to be part of chanakya so that i can work along with you and know how you do it. You are sheer hard work combined with awesome brain power and managing skills.

Learned a lot from you in that short period of time. Would have loved to work more with you and learn as much as possible but whatever i have gained i cherish it a lot. Thanks for mentoring in all ways possible. hoping to have a continued interaction in the future as well.

Cheers...KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA

Ruchik, We started interacting only towards the very end of MBA and I’ll regret that. I have not seen any competition in campus which does not have your name as a winner. Its not only winning but the way you win tearing all competitors apart. You are simple yet can solve all complicated problems by your knowledge, hard work, thinking capacity, sincerity, and so many other skills that only very few people can possess. No doubt you will be a CEO in next 5 years..:) ...SUMIT SWARNKAR

awe and respect...those r one of first things that come to mind fr ruchik...bhai u r the most humble and talented guy in the campus...v wer neighbours in the class and i ws the closest witness to ur brilliance...u always come prepared fr a class or an assignment no matter how busy u wer at being awesum in the umpteen competitions and projects u worked on....u r the most dedicated and skilled guy i know..be it creating presentations, CP, assignments, presenting...u r nt the jack of all traits..u r the ace of all...i learned so much frm u over the two years... ur simplicity and that innocent smile is just disarming....so many girls here have broken heart because of u...i so wished i could something scandalous or bad about u here, but frankly there’s not a single blemish on ur name....not so many people know it bt u r one helluva party guy too and know how to enjoy....u scaled many a mountains here and i wish that u continue doing the same...u dnt even need to overachieve...just work hard to get what u deserve and u vil b a very successful man...best of luck bhai..keep in touch in mumbai :)...PUNIT GUPTA

Ruchik, the first time I saw you was during the “induction” when you took a session about strategy! I couldn’t believe that you were only in a second year student! I know professors who aren’t half as good as you in communicating or putting forward a point! Be it resume iterations or consulting club competitions, I have seen you give nothing

but your complete commitment and dedication! If I were to enumerate your accomplishments, it would take me all day! So I will just say that I admire you for all the effort you put into every endeavour of yours and the success that inevitably follows you is undoubtedly well deserved! Proud to have known you and worked with you this year! Do keep in touch!! :)...

SRUTHI SRINIVASAN

Respect!.. I have not found a person more dedicated, focused and disciplined than you.. U changed a lot from Btech and everything is towards being better... Constantly improving... Brilliance and quick thinking surely cant be matched... btw I have been a fan of ur eloquence since Btech.. saw ur presenattion for the first time at Futurism and was awestruck...

Outstanding was all that came to mind... Never imagined u to be so polite, humble over here (given the record of ur achievements)... but getting to know u whatever little I could was great... btw u have surprised me a lot.. being so inclusive during Mahindra internship was something unexpected and something I cherished... I know I have got to learn a great deal from u n would like to start with oratory and presentation skills ;)... I won’t hope that u achieve great success because somewhere I believe u will... Stay in touch!...VIBHUTI AGARWAL

From the NIT canteens to Planet - I, it has been a lot of memories that we have shared. It is the grit and determination underneath which makes you stand out from the rest. The conviction that comes with it adds confidence and life into arguments that you make. And I know that it has not been easy for you. You have worked for it, and definitely deserved it. Looking forward to see you as one of the most accomplished person in the world.

Wishing you the very best!...Rishabh Trivedi

The most inspirational and iconic PGP2. Yet, so down to earth, approachable and helpful. He truly deserves all the success that he earned on campus and I wish him all the best and many more successes for the future!...

NILANJAN GANESH MOHAN

Ruchik, you are easily one of the most talented guys on campus. This testimonial will be endless if I start mentioning all your qualities. But what makes you special in my book is the way you motivate everyone around you. The picture of you clapping your hands saying â??Chalo chalo, pehle yeh kaam theek se khatam karoâ?? is enough to get anyone to focus on the task at hand :P. I regret not knowing you before term VI, but hope to get to know you better and learn from you in the future. Cheers. ...SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI

Respect, respect and more of it. You have come close to setting a Guinness World Standard of what an ideal B-school student should be. Your sound sense of reasoning and calm and composed nature will take you a long way. To top it all, your humility - which I am a fan of! Like many juniors and seniors, ( and I’ve told this to many) I always wanted to be like ‘Mr Ruchik Gandhi’. May you continue to inspire many more people in the years to come. Cheers!...Raoul Lopes

I donâ??t know where to start. You have done almost everything in campus, have achieved everything which is not humanly possible. I know you since our IV days when we use to travel 4 hours in bus to and fro. I remember you were the only one speaking to kirloskar guy whereas rest of us will just be sitting and listening to you explain in so complicating and hifi terms that even that guy used to get confused. I have interacted with you many times during those visits which made me realize how humble and down to earth kind of fellow you are. Your knowledge and approach are quite exemplary. You are hardworking, passionate and dedicated which has made you highly successful. You are one of a kind. Happy to have met you. Stay in touch ! ...Tushar Gupta

I still remember in lot of interactions people ask â??Who is your role model?â?? I think I have found my person. I have been awed by you and your nature and working style since day one at campus. Your leadership has taught me so many things but I think I havenâ??t learnt enough to be half as mature, inspiring, encouraging, helpful and awesome as you. The sky high benchmarks that have been set by you not only for us but also for future batches to come are exemplary. Your support and guidance helped me sail through the toughest of times.

You have been not just a great friend but also an amazing mentor to me. It is extremely difficult to find a person who not only a great human being, humble , down to earth but also super intelligent and focused as you. I still have a lot to learn from and eagerly waiting for this future opportunity. Will miss you a lot. I hope you achieve all your dreams and be successful in all your future endeavors ï??

Ruchik is undoubtedly the most hard working and dedcated and organised person I have ever seen. I still remember when we shared the same floor in H Block, i wondered at times how did this fellow manage to have a bath daily - something which is a rarety in IIMs. All the seriousness apart, I think there are very few people who know that he is a

very good and humble sport. I have taken extreme liberty in pulling your leg, referring you as ‘GOD’ (Which I mean it) and I know I have , at times, gone overboard with it but all has been possible because of your levelheadedness. If there is one person from whom you can never fall short of learning something or the other, it’s definitely Ruchik. All the best. Stay in touch. Cheers..:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Chikkkkkkkkkyyyyy :D I want to shout this name with a biig smile on my face whenever I meet you. You aren’t just my elder brother but also a great source of inspiration for me.I keep joking all the time and keep doing masty but I do all that purposely to get scolded from you :D I love how you are so protective for me. I really cherish the bond we have and its actually difficult to put it in words what you mean to me. I feel honoured to know IIM Indore ka best student more as a person. I love that you share things with me which you might not with anyone else. Thanks for being there always. Wish you lots of happiness and success in life :) ...PALAK MAHANOT

RG is the icon of IIM Indore in the true sense of the word. My first interactions with him started around the latter half of the first year and what followed is a booming friendship ever since. Very calm, composed and ever so sober are some of the only known traits about RG to the people who don’t know him very well. Everyone gets very conscious when he is around. But you have to see the other side of him. Extremely chilled out, fun loving person who loves to hang around with his group and poke fun at others. The way he balances both the things is definitely admirable. I, personally, have learnt so much from just observing him. Along with Esh, he is probably the most admired guy on campus and I guess quite rightly so. I mean, every other junior want to be Ruchik Gandhi! I am quite sure youâ??ll get into the Big 4 right away and I wish you luck for that! Weâ??ll definitely stay in touch! :)...VEKHANDE AJINKYA KESHAV

Gandhi or chick... I think you really helped a lot of people set some standards here at IIM Indore.. Everyone thought that sending in ppts with minimal effort would be just fine but then we saw you put in those endless hours and boy weren’t we inspired to match those! Though we never got to your standards of dedication or quality but it sure helped us a lot in the process. Every team, group or project that you were ever a part of, the outcome had to be just great.. I think seeing you work, I tried to do some work too.. What is even more amazing is the clarity of thought and the respect you garner from the masses.. that is if your not drunk! Because its hard for people to even imagine that you drink! And oh yeah, completely

forgot that you were the ‘player’ back in your college days and now you are engaged! How do you balance all this! It has been my honour to have known you Gandhi.. Storm the world... Till we meet next, see you Gujju! ...ADITYA AGARWAL

Ruchik, Though I haven’t interacted much with you I think I know you fairly well courtesy ppl like Ajnikya, Eshwar, Deepak, also guys not close to you who have an opinion on how good you are. Enough has been written here. I will sum it up in a simple quote in one of Shakespeare’s play “Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them”. After watching you closely I find it very difficult to classify your greatness as you fit in all three places. Way to Go man. ATB..!!...SUMANTH J

If I had to make a ppt to save my life, Ruchik would be the person I would turn to. Intelligent, composed and decisive with great presence and presentation skills. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If I said there isn’t much Ruchik can’t do, it wouldn’t be too far away from the truth. One of the very few I respect a lot, and among the fewer who have found the perfect balance in life. Sometimes I wonder how he manages to do as much as he does. Entrepreneur batch ranker, event head and more - there could never be another Ruchik. Here’s wishing you all the very best!...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

;Not many will disagree when I say that IIM Indore is lucky to have had the likes ;of Ruchik Gandhi joining it. The sheer focus, drive and commitment that Ruchik is built of, is enviable, and to a large extent, contagious. He has taken the Consulting Club to such heights in such a short time frame, and that speaks volumes about his leadership capabilities.

Meticulous, articulate, structured - he’s what they call a born Consultant. I relished the opportunity to lock horns with you as a ‘competitor’ of sorts, and had the utmost respect for you, in spite of preaching differing philosophies at Mercur-I. And that;s quite something. Ruchik is destined for greatness, as is testified by pretty much every author in this page. All the best Ruchik, you deserve the very best! ...BHARATH GANGADHARAN

I haven’t seen a guy as sincere and dedicated as Ruchik. He has an insatiable hunger to win competitions and to get PORs. Ruchik will show always show absolute professionalism in every task he performs. I always liked having conversations with you. I am fortunate to have a friend like you. Best of luck in your future endeavors!!! ...PANKAJ

DNYANDEO KOLTE

Ruchik has been one of my closest friends at IIM Indore, someone who has inspired me in many ways. His dedication is infectious and i owe a lot to Ruchik for all that i’ve learnt from him. From PPT skills to nurturing a desire to excell in anything you do, I’ve picked up a lot from Gandhi. As a friend, I have had the priviledge to see the lighter part of him! Unlike what others think, he does have an ability to have fun and enjoy life :D Infact i dont understand how he manages to enjoy and work that hard! Thanks for being the helpful friend you are! You have always been there for all of us and i’m grateful for having made a friend in you :) From the incessant hunger that plagues him to the crazy hindi songs he likes to the sleep that suddenly dawns on him when watchin a movie, Ruchik has been a fun friend to have! :) All the best in your life ahead! And u still owe us treats! Hope you remember to invite us to your marriage at least :P...ESHWAR M S

Ruchik - it has been great knowing you. It is indeed bad luck that we never got to work together on a project or competition. But your dedication towards Consulting Club, your efforts with new initiatives such as the Analytics focus and that sheer drive to scale up number of activities on campus have been fantastic. You are synonymous with ‘Consulting’ on campus and are held in the highest esteem by all alike. Good luck with your career and life ahead. Keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

Ruchik, being one of your close friends made me see several sides of you which others dont. I think thanks to that, I dont think of you as this perfect God-like person. But, I know all your good and all your bad, and I still want to have you in my life and that speaks volumes of the person you are. To a lifetime of friendship!...RICHA PODDAR

Hey Ruchik it was really nice to have been associated with you.. Though we havent worked together the exchange of ideas with you were really influential.. u had set an example for all PGP1s of being professional and upto mark in life.. you are the most revered person of this college and now consulting club is brand cause of you.. we need many “Ruchik Gandhi”s for the college.. I hope I get a chance to work with you in walks of life ahead ... All the best and good luck ..:-)...Aditya Kharbade

YOU are ASHWA in real sense, name it, let it be teamwork, consulting or competition, you never stop from putting your best irrespective of outcome...true PERFECTIONIST...whom i have rarely come across...YOU ROCK!!!Stay in touch and GOOD LUCK!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Attempt ridicules CP but at least awake whole class. Really had lovely days while giving company interview or GD together. You have amazing observation skill and more amazingly how you imitate in funny ways. Sitting besides you in class can result into scolding and negative marks. Last but not least be as you are and you would have bright future...PIYUSH RANJAN MISHRA

A fun and straighforward guy who is never afraid to put forth his view, however weird they may be. Known for his deep (read: bakchod) FB posts, his thouhts can vary between the extremely philosophical to borderline insane. Ultimate bakchod guy on campus, his bakar never fails to light up any session, be it his constant taunting of Mr. Buffett :P or his epic CPs. Had an awesome time with you in the eurotrip and really hope we cn indulge in more epic level bakchodi and high philosophy together. :P...MRIGANK GUTGUTIA

So I met this rather crazy yet self-assured guy for the 1st time on Fa-

cebook. It seemed as if you had taken up the responsibility of making the transition smooth for all Bongs collectively :P. In the process you became a great friend. Be it adda, the friendship, the laziness or the gyaan...you are bong in every way possible! I remember a lot of your gyaanpapi comments and they remind me of the cherishable company that you provide!

I survived a lot of brand-management classes thanks to your dollops of wisdom! Stay blessed dada! ...MONAMI BAGCHI

I will be there with you as always.. :) :D ...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

He thinks he has grown up, but he is an impulsive kid. Overtly self confident, know-it-all and has an opinion about everything. U simply cant win a debate with him. One of the best Counter Strike players I have ever seen.

His pastimes include trolling people online :-D Dude u can be a really great friend. Will cherish those times when I would come to ur room, and you would offer a smoke and share some crappy joke or an experience of ur adventurous life. Have a rocking life ahead and stay in touch.....Rajarshi Biswas

A very chilled out person he has a different point of view on each subjectâ?¦Very active online some of his fb posts are hilarious..A good friend to hang out with..I would miss the times spent with youâ?¦ Wish you a great life ahead bro..Keep in touch:)...ATISHAY KUMAR JAIN

I had an awesome time with him at IIM I. I remember he was one the first few people I became friend with in section B. He was one of the few people who supported me from very first skit (talent night) till the last company I applied on the campus. Thank you for being such a rocking fried Now, this is how I would like to describe him: He is height of creativity. I donâ??t remember any incident/moment when he was not able to come up with an out of the box solution. He has passion for rock music, football and technology. And he is really good at all of them. He got fighter kind of attitude. He doesnâ??t give up. Sometimes I get amazed to see his perseverance and how much effort he puts in. His dedication always inspires me. ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

My first impression of sankalpa was obviously “the one with unusually desperate CPs”. I had heard him argue over the most stupid of things and at times when even he knew he was wrong.However, when I got to work with him on MOS and CTC assignments, I realized that there was more to him than just being Gunta’s fav student. He really did a good job at the assignments and his unusual arguing ability bailed the group out on a few occasions (read meeting with jaysimha) :P. Sankalpa is really hard working and being an IITian(though its difficult to believe that) , he must be intelligent, too :P :P . He exactly knows what he wants in life and would fight for it. He is not gonna settle for anything less :P. He has a good sense of humor and it was fun working with him. I wish him all the very best for his future endeavours. May you achieve great heights :)...SHOBHNA SHRUTI

sankalpa always has something witty or funny to say( or atleast tries to ).

Chhota Bomb... Thanks a lot for saving me from PGP Office’s wrath in 1st yr... I know we have pulled ur leg a lot in 1st yr n still do but that is fun.. To see u n suhasini fight over small things, u blabber in class (seriously.. zyada hi bol jata hai kabhi kabhi n defensive ho jata hai..) n then everytime ask vaishali to tell u a point for CP- all these things were surely missed in 2nd yr... U have been one kind and geuine friend and the straight forward attitude is something I like... Be the way u r... Stay in touch! Wish u the best for future. ...VIBHUTI AGARWAL

Sankalpa will look like a cool and notorious kid but is a very matured and fun loving person. I get to know him better in the parties we had in Babu’s room. He is full of stories and shares his experiences in a very dramatic way. He is a good student and comes out be a nice person.

It was really nice knowing you. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors and will cherish whatever little time spent together!!!...

SAURAV DEMTA

So, you were the first person to be added in my friend list on facebook (little trivia) and then got to know you after coming here. It has always been a delight to read your facebook posts. Totally uninhibited and fun loving person with so many radical thoughts. You are really creative and have a flair for writing and I suggest you should start writing a book right away. It was really great to know such a genuine and honest person on campus(you know that’s a rarity, right ?) You are always full of energy and cheerful. You have all the potentialto reach the heights in your career. Best Wishes and stay in touch !! :)...POONAM VERMA

This is the only bong on campus with whom I talk in hindi...the person to whom I always went to when I was out of stock...great things come is small packages is the phrase which personifies him...you have branded me on my forehead, hopefully not for good...my bakchodi partner on the SR11 top floor and my teacher during QT exams...he is what we call a bachaal chhele...bhishon beshi kotha bole, but that has its own advantages,,,during exams we would assemble hourly to discuss some random shit to keep awake through the night and u provided the best timepass during those times....trips with you on exchange were awesome and will remember the Sanchi trip fondly...stay your jolly self and keep in touch :)...ARINDAM MAJUMDAR

One of the first persons to meet before even coming to IIM I due to your active engagement in facebook. Very helpful and always having some innovative ideas. Witness some of your (D)Cps in marketing elective classes and enjoyed them ;) A genuine person and a wonderful human you are.

All the best and keep in touch!! :)...SWARNENDU SEN

King of Bakar!!! We shared the same bakara group and this was the time, when I got to know about his jovial and easy-going nature. A very chilled out guy in the campus and livens-up the group with his witty comments (though sometimes these are beyond of scope :P). He is one of the real FB users. Good friend to hangout with. Wishing you a wonderful and successful life ahead. Keep in touch :)...AKSHAY MANGAL

King of Bakar!!...Even Gunta once siad ki “If there was negative class participation I would have given him negative marks” /\ We were in the same bakra group and being an easy going guy he is we instantly became friends....then we used to ocassionally have those bakar sessions...discussing how our business will flourish and what can be the threats to our growth :P ....though I am disappointed that he didnt make enuf efforts for

our business in Europe :P He is a fun-loving and entertaining guys and you can never get bored being with him :D Keep rocking BABA!! abd keep in touch :D...CHINMAY NAHAR

Sankalpa, A.K.A Hitman_47, i met this guy long back, even before coming here. He is the one who created “Kolkata combo peeps” and initiated our first informal meet in kolkata. an awesome gamer, who taught me how to play knife matches in counter strike. King of bakar and when he strats speaking, there is never an end. A person, who’s very helpful and extremely good at heart. a big time party bug. And my cigarette supplier at crisis moments. We will miss our long addas over sutta. Wish you all the best for future!!...SENAJIT CHAKI

Sankaloa Sarkar... a rare gem in IIM Indore. Your Sense of humor is extraordinary.. a master of social media humor.

Stay as you are...perhaps need improvement in room management. Cheers!...PANKAJ SONI

Surely u deserved a much much better place to intern dan Aartech but then looking at positively i wouldâ??ve never got to know such a humble person had u not been placed wid me.. always subdued, extremely focussed, the most sincere amongst all of us at Aartech, it was superfun working with u â?? how we came up wid the bid values ;) then suggesting a list of random co.s for WTD (all the excel calculations wich impressed everyone barring u know who ;) ) never really felt the pressure cuz sumhw ws sure u wud find a solution for everything.. Thanks to u we managed to come and leave office by the scheduled times, warna toh raat tak mandideep mein hi baithna padta ;) a very upright and genuine person, I always enjoyed the lunch breaks, evening teas etc. Really happy dat now u have got a place u thoroughly deserve.. All the best :) :)...KRIT DOSHI

You are one of the most focussed guys I have seen on campus. Finance champ and a good person. But you are also one of the messiest; work on it man. Probably the only guy from MP who doesn’t like poha. :P Thanks for the great time we had during summer intern and beyond.

Keep on smiling and remain genuine. P.S.: And watch more anime than you are watching now, catch up buddy. :P...NAVTEJ VERMA

One of the most original persons I met here. It was fun having a friend who supported Chelsea. We almost had the same subjects in 2nd year, and every subject we had together, we were group mates. It was a pleasure working with you as I knew that somehow we would finish it off. And the numerous competitions we tried our hands at :D. You were always ready to teach me and clear any doubts I had. Keep up the hard work and there’s no limit to what you’ll achieve. All the best

for your future :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

A very sharp, genuinely good, caring and helpful are the words I would use to describe Saurav. Very sincere and hard-working be it studies, work or keeping his word. And his soft-spokenness and modesty tops it all.

Even with a sea of knowledge, he is a one who will never show-off and can befriend you instantly. Be like this and success will keep reaching you as it has already started to....DEBAYAN BISWAS

One person to call upon before any finance exams..I hav called him 20-30 times before tat god-foresaken FIM exams with so many doubts, tis guy will patiently reply wit solutions, any other person wud hav simply hung up his phone. won’t forget the after dinner strolls and long chats we had..

One of the shrewdest guy i hav met on campus and still a down-to-earth kind of guy..i started watching english serials thanks to this guy..we share a lot of things in common ranging from food habits to wat we want to do in lyf..he is a perfect example that hard work always pays-off better than smart work..I hope to continue his friendship for lots of time to come and wish him all the happiness in his lyf :) :).....VENKAT DUBASH.

A real hard worker, very genuine person, simple down to earth and true at heart, this is how I describe you. Wish you good luck for your future buddy and I know without any doubt that you would do great as a banker :) cheers !...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

One person who will always surprise you one way or the other. Doesn’t talk much but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like being talked. A very smart guy and one you would always want to be in your team. We have been together in several groups now and I knew that I can be at ease with you in the team since you would take care of it much better than anyone else.

I am eternally thankful to you for your unselfish help for the NAV Capital project. I don’t think anyone else would have done it with the kind of sincerity you did it. It has been a pleasure to know you and I wish to continue doing that. :)...VIVEK THEBARIA

Bhai aap Stud ho!! you are among those few people on the campus whom i trust and respect. very straight forward and clean person. in my opinion, you are “BAAP” of finance and you are surely going to among big people in this domain. I always felt privileged while working with you due to your aptitude and intelligence. When i heard about your placement, i felt very happy because it is something which you deserve more than anyone

i know. Hope that one day you will facilitate M&A of a company, in which i would be working, as an investment banker :) all the very best for your brighter and prosperous career and life :)...Vishal Shah

I have not an iota of doubt in claiming that Saurav Goyal is the most brilliant person in the PGP ‘12-’14 batch of IIM Indore. He is a person I genuinely respect. As his neighbor in class I realized that he had understood even the most complex of concepts when the whole class was blank and staring at each other. He is one person whom I enjoyed working with in assignment groups as he was prompt and reliable. He has earned a lot of Punya by giving water to a thirsty me throughout first year - for that I should thank you. I sincerely wish you achieve great heights in your life. Stay in touch..!...ARJUN NAYAK U

very silent guy even compared to me.. :P Good at heart, humble, very friendly, patient, helpful and never gets angry.. even though we had rooms nearby in sr-11, we haven’t interacted until we were put in the same group... very good fin guy and i hope you achieve bigger successes in life ahead. One suggestion i can tell you as a friend to try to socialize with more people and i’m sure that they wouldn’t want to lose you out.. :D God bless.. keep in touch buddy.. :)...GATTU CHARLES RAJ

First of all, I would thank hostel office for keeping us together for 2 years :D We had a great time together..gossiping all the time and luckily we were together during internship also. Remember cow, you and me doing MOS assignments..we used to tease her and laugh all the time :) Saali mujhe akela chhodkar exchange chali gyi thi...missed you a lot during that time..anyway you got me really good gifts..so I’m not angry with you anymore :P Aur tu hamesha maarne peetne ki baat kyun karti rehti hai??? huhh??

KIRTI SONI

Shelly....thank you for bearing with me....helping me in adjusting through the very unfavorable conditions here. You are very calm, humble and I hope you will maintain this for your entire lifetime. May you achieve all the success you deserve. I know we didn’t interacted much during the MNIT times, but then helping me here you proved that we MNITians do have a strong bonding which others don’t have.... and it is quite natural. Last but not the least...i wish you all the best at

this point when you are about to enter corporate life....i hope you find this transition smooth...and i hope you will still help me when you are at job:P plz stay in touch :)...ARJIT AGARWAL

You have the most beautiful features and hair! More than that, you have a beautiful heart and persona. You are a smart, confident and balanced person, who speaks straight from her heart. Have wonderful memories of our RIP...Always keep smiling :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

The first I got to know of Shelly is really funny. Monami had received some notification from you on FB while we were having some discussion in Term 2 at Kiranâ??s room, when I saw you on her page and I thought you were one of her outside college friends. Only later was I told that we are batch-mates here :P Then we briefly interacted during Consumer Behavior assignments in Term 4, but the highlight of our time here would certainly be the visit to Mount Titlis where we coincidentally bumped into each other at Balmers. The trip was certainly fun and one of the most memorable ones on exchange. Especially your tips to counter the possible Frost bite is something I would remember ;) Usually a reserved person otherwise, it is fun interacting with you. Wish you all the success, do keep in touch :)...ISHAN BOSE

Shelly ! The first time that we spoke was near TI during the Summers Process. It was great to know you better during the group assignments in the 2nd term...you were both friendly and sincere. I vividly remember the leg-pulling that we did when we went for that treat in Alcove :P You have always been good to talk to...there is always that cute smile on your face. I wish you all the best for the future...keep touch !!!! :)...AYUSH AGARWAL

Shelly..ekdum mast bindaas personality. When we met for the first time in Section-F, I was so happy to know that there was someone else also from Udaipur (you were the first one I met..:)). We performed together in Talent Night and from there started our friendship. There are a lot of good memories we have shared together; section parties, DJ parties, classroom masti, assignments (MOS assignments â?? full masti, stories, teasing each other, laughing, gossiping and so I wonder how we used to complete those assignments), and not to forget travelling to Udaipur together. You have always been a very helping and caring person. Will miss you a lot and also all the fun we had together..:(..Waise Udaipur mein to milte rahenge..:).Be in touch..Wish you all the best for your life ahead..:)...

AKANKSHA VYAS

Shelly baby :P I still remember how I used to come in the mornings to ask if we had lab that day. After graduating little did I know that we would cross paths again and I can’t thank my stars enough that I got to know such a wonderful person. From bakra group to farewell you have always stood by my side and I have never seen anyone so caring and responsible. There are so many memories but I will never forget the time spent during RIP and I missed you so much during HOP.It is always great to have a friend who shares the same love for books and food with whom I can talk about books read (although many a times we did have different takes on the books we have read but I still loved discussing them with you) and eat like junglees guilt free. Few people have I ever seen who just try to see just the best in others. very straightforward(never hesitate to call a spade a spade) and really have a talent for making simple yet profound statements on situations and extremely determined at times... dont worry swthrt I wont be an alsi like you...will keep in touch :P Be the charming and dynamic person that you are, have a great future ahead Love always :)...POONAM VERMA

I clearly remember the first time I met Shelly â?? it was on the Bakra final day when we were supposed to have quizzes to gauge our hold of management concepts. Yet, like studs we went out to the city not caring about the repercussions we might have to face. Since then, we have always been friends though intermittently. Brilliant as she is, I wish her all luck for the future!...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

I guess one of first few friends that I made on campus .. Witty and full of life .. I guess thats all that describes you ..Enjoys the life as it comes.. rarely seen you cribbing about something.. be it grades or anything else .. Really good dancer and my dance partner on my first ever on stage dance performance .. (although you made hell lot of a fun of me.. :-X.. Took ages to learn those few steps :( ) Very good sense of humour (again I have been at the receiving end of it a many times) .. .But its very difficult to have lunch with her.. Eats so slowly that I could finish all my three time meal in her one lunch’s time .. .Love-Life partner of Nikita Sharma .. Never seen them apart either in campus or on their eurotrip .. Common break up gals.. Both of you can get good guys definitely :P.. . Wish you all the best Shelly!! Keep enjoying and stay in touch!! (Banglore mein milte rehna :P ) ...ASHWANI KANSAL

The girl with an infectious smile, the girl who bites her lips like Chiku

from Champak :P(please don’t kill me), the hopeless romantic, the graceful one, the simple one, the lover of Game of Thrones and Rockstar, the chronic movie buff, the girl who loves Mahabharata and likes Rajat Tokas and the one who does Popat of all my filmy dialogues-Shelly deserves this big an intro. I first met you in the Pizza party at my place and trust me, that night remains one of my fondest memories of this college this date. We sung away to glory with Shaktiman, Washing Powder Nirma and Mahabahrat. It was epic. Post it, fate would limit our interaction to casual run-ins at random places (for instance, the food stalls at Ahvan when you were having Dhishum :P) We bonded only in the 4th term again and chatting with you became my daily routine- be it the bus ride interview from college to central, or the disagreements over the institution of marriage.

Working with you on our Dishwasher idea in Blueprint was awesome, so was the trip to ISKON. Your exchange escapades have been quite hilarious, be it the visit to the Temple of Poseidon or the account of Leaning tower of Pisa (“Ye koi Wonder hai, ek tedhi building khadi kar di hai” :P).

The comfort level I have with you is quite special, as we can talk on any topic under the sun, and it surely helped me a lot whenever I was distressed, sad or moody. You’re now in the garden city(which you always wanted) and maybe one day I’ll find you behind the wheels when I hitch a ride :P...APAL

‘Shelly yaaarrrr..’ these are the first words that I automatically utter whenever I have anything to say, whether I am happy or sad I need SHELLY!!

I am not good at words but still trying my best to put down my feelings for you. I LOVE YOU <3 hahaha.. You are not just a gem of a person, you are platinum and diamond ;) I am extremely lucky to have you in my life.

You have a versatile personality. You are more than a friend, u r caring and supportive like a mother, omnipresent for me whenever I ask for help and even when I donâ??t :P Shelly is right there knocking at my door!!

And I quickly hug her tight and cry out loud!! ;) Iâ??m enamoured of you, you are such a sweet heart. You are an utmost special person of my life.

I fell in love with you when I first saw you (just like the thousand others, love at first sight hahaha, but I am lucky to have it back :P).. But I didnâ??t realize when this friendship slowly grew into a fevicol bonding - Late night studies for end-terms at your room, then the unforgettable and awesome RIP and then the unforgetful Eurotrip.. â??hum chipke raheâ??.. lol. Now you are no more a friend to me, you are family :P Weâ??ve shared every emotion together like sisters, whether itâ??s getting disappointed over small matters or celebrating tiny wins, you made me blessed with your presence at every instance. I was unaware of hostel life when I came here

and was not very optimistic about making any life long friends but you taught me how to trust others. You were my source of knowledge (I didnâ??t tell you this before and I still wonâ??t admit it in front of you :P) I donâ??t think I can write everything here. I am still feeling that itâ??s not enough, I have more to say but that I will tell you in person :) I wish for your shining future and I know you will definitely achieve great success in life. All the best darling :) N haan, I am always here for you, chaahe kuchh bhi ho jaaye, so never hesitate to say anything..:)...

NIKITA SHARMA

Its been 2 years in IIM I now and their are few persons with whom I have bonded a lot, you are certainly one of them. That walk during RIP, late night assignments and non stop arguments, we have shared a lot many moments together. You are one of the most sincere persons in campus. Always be like the way you are. All the best for your future ...SUMIT SWARNKAR

Shelly.. Such an easy person to be with, always smiling, always up for any on the spot trip, speaks her heart out, someone who has got her values intact and someone carries herself with immense elegance and grace. A girl who always sounds so right, so correct and so SENSIBLE. She has been such a friend whom you donâ??t have to keep persuading and pleading for hours to get a â??yesâ?? for any plan, she is just a phone call away. I always think itâ??s the common tastes that bring people together and in our case it surely was the love for movies and food :D We have shared some really good memories; the first outing being the movie outing for the movie called â??Ranjhanaâ?? which we enjoyed alternatively ;) (if I could say so), I was all praise for the movieâ??s first half where she was like â??Hmm, Its okayâ?? but she liked the second half very much and I almost slept through that, dinâ??t understand anything actually in that half.:P Movie was done, so in subsequent outings we went to Sayajis, Celebrations, Mamajis and 26 Hills and to many other eateries.:D The fun we had on Janmashtmi at ISKON and later at Sarafa and the Chennai Express outing will always be there in the memories. Still remember I felt so happy when you converted T4S that your dream of living with bhaiya would now be fulfilled. To a special mention, the DDLJ cowbell which you brought me from Student Exchange was so touching and special; I still wonder how you managed to look out for gifts for all of us so appropriately:) All the times spent together with you and Vikalp would always constitute a precious part of my memories. I wish you all the happiness and

success for your future endeavours. Be in touch!:)...PRAKARSH AREN

Very few girls on campus are as genuine as you. Had a great time during Term 1 working on the cases, putting night-out for that Accounting ppt, the “summers” treats, etc. Few things I have noticed about you- Great dancer, fun lover, old hindi serials buff, etc. I have predicted correctly a few events for you in the past and here goes my prediction again- You have a great fun-filled life ahead of you! Cheers!...VAMSI KRISHNA BETHAPUDY

Shelly.. Friendly, helpful, caring, cheerful and phoduuu.. thats how I would describe you. Got to know you a lot more here than our MNIT days.

You came as a savior during Bakra days and ever since,you were there for any help I have ever needed, . Thank you for all the help. Keep rocking and Keep Smiling.. Best wishes for your career ahead! Keep in touch :)...

ANIMA SHARMA

Shelly Pareek... first known as SP to me thro my friends :) and Thanks to ALBA or else we would have spent our IIM life with just HI - BYE relationship.... :) I remember the 2013’ Holi day and i think u also do... :P and Exchange... wat a fun filled, beautiful, memorable moments.. :) Wenever i think of exchange, I first remember ur appreciation from the OLD LADY... P long trips, Cooking lessons, metro travel, ferry ride are always which tops on my mind :) wat would have we done if u and Nikita were not der???- i would have lost my whole belly :) and sorry I dont really remember any hindi lyrics u taught me :P.... and Madam..... Wer are the fotos?!?!? Bangalore to Chennai - 8hrs by Road, 5Hrs by Car.... Hope to meet sometime in Bang or Chennai....!!!! Keep in touch and be smiling as always... All the very best :)...T.S.MOHAN KUMAR

Shelly! :) One of my favorite people on this campus to spend time with.

Became friends early and a friendship which has come leaps and bounds in the past 2 years. Talks sense all the time, ALL THE TIME. Loves watching movies, trust me she has seen *all* the movies produced over the past 30 years (I am not kidding), has such varied interests, be it mythology or history or geo-politics. Immensely informed and knowledgeable. Absolutely love reading books and loves food more (like me, haha). Trust me, whenever me and Prakarsh go out, the first thing either of us do is ‘oye, Shelly se ek baar pooch le’ and the past few months have been amazing be it movie visits or randomly going to eat out. Your straightforwardness is something I am so fond of, the news of you cracking ‘Taxi for Sure’ made all of us so so happy and Bangalore tha toh upar se upar khushi,

haha! And remember, the clean slate we decided on a week back - its a deal - two sided, none of that goes out. Haha. Okay? :) It may sound incredibly cliched but you are bound to go places. A very, very bright future lies ahead of you and in a few years all of us will see that. It’s been a pleasure knowing you.All the best and goes without saying be in touch :) ...VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

Shelly.. gtto knw her thru poonam.. a cheerful and pleasant gal, likes to dance and enjoi lyf.. she is a child like person, fond of good food.. Wish u lots of success in lyf.. Stay in touch!!!...SHETTI SRIDEVI ASHOK

Chellyyyyy-I initially knew you only cos of section F and cos you sat next to mona-over time i dunno how but we bcame friends and I truly cherish that friendship- you are one hello of a girl-straightforward, sensible, always ready to go out and always ready to forgive! It was a discovery of sorts to find you as someone with whom I canhave amazing conversations from inane gossips, women’s rights to dissecting any topic- you have this ability to forgive and understand, your friendship with Nikita is a source of inspiration to me-that even so late in life it is possible to have so true and so tight a bond-whenever you come for outings together I know it wont be dull at all- also we have those smiles we exchange when we dont need to say anything the message/ joke is conveyed-tht kind of understanding is not easy to find- your maturity and open mindedness along with your frank nature make you an amazing person -but also you have a great heart and I was truly touched when you remembered and brought back the wind chime and chocolates for me!! I know you will do great in life, Bangalore mein bade mazze lena, “chot” se bachke rehna :P and definitely we will keep in touch and meet and when we do share all the gossip and discuss on world issues ..also i shall update you with new literature ;) when i get my hands on some-always stay this combination of innocence and street smartness :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

I think we first met in Bagla’s room for Philips Blueprint and I was awed by your outgoing nature. We latter participated in some more competitions and I must say you are very hardworking and dedicated girl...had you not been there we would have not competed in the P&G dream team... As we came to know each other more I found you to be one of the most practical and mature girl on campus....I really had fun in all the parties we had together... Wishing you all the very best for your future........ABHIKET GAURAV

Shelly!!! party kab milegaa :P !!!! and thank you for the coffee!!! these two sentences will remind me of you.... of-course I was the one saying that.... you have a very pleasing face and a pleasing smile.... I always get confused whether your from Udaipur or Jaipur and always ask that question when ever we meet..... one of the very few people I’ve met who are lefty..... Real fun to be with...... Wish you all the success !!! Cheers!!!...

GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

The best of hardships can be withstood with the best of friends around you. I could not have tolerated the 1st bench seat for this entire tenure had you not been around to sigh about it too. Innumerable memories of us having NO CLUE about what is going on in class...but having every idea of who is doing what in that classroom. ‘Ye kya padha raha hai yaar!’ ‘Abhi 40 mins baaki hai!!’ etc. were frequently uttered lines on that bench! Cut to...your room..which witnessed bakars till 4AM in the morning! I am so glad I found you as a friend. So sweet, simple, talented...and a firebrand from Udaipur! May you achieve the best in life! God bless!...MONAMI BAGCHI

Got acquainted to you even before joining IIM-I..you came across as a very sweet soft-spoken gal during the IIM-I interviews itself :) Got to know you better when we worked together for Agya live project. I’m glad that we teamed up together else dunno how would I have completed all the visits to the stationary shops :D it was then that we found out the similarities between us- food habits and our thoughts towards many things in life- those 2 hours in barista were actually relaxing!! I’m sure you will do great in life ahead with your calm and composed nature and mature outlook towards situations. All the very best for the future :) Oops forgot to mention that lovely smile of urs... don’t forget to put it on ever :) Stay blessed :) Stay in touch :)...POOJA JUGRAN

Kamine.. No words for you.. if you would not have been here on campus my 2 years over here would have been dull as hell. Will always remember the late night fried rice and every friday ki nafees biryani that too in extras... Milta rahiyo aand apne gande jokes sunaata rahio... ...SIDHANT SACHDEVA

Mathurrrrr <3 U are truly one of the most caring and loving friends I have ever made... and among those who will always remain close to my heart.. FOREVER!!! :D So, my first testimonial for this yearbook goes to you CONGRATS :P I will never miss you for your sad jokes, stupid laugh, worthy gossips, serious advice, etc etc because I know TU MERA PEECHA KABHI NAHI CHODEGA :P Aur mai chodne bhi nahi dungi..Long Live our friendship!! Yo Mathur So fat, Yo Mathur so Naughty! :P...SONAKSHI SAINI

Thanks a lot for your support and guidance right from my resume iteration to summers. You have always motivated me to achieve great things. Thanks for being such an awesome senior !...AKHIL KRISHNAN SHOBA

Mathur- You are one of the most helpful guys I know. If you consider someone as your friend, you will go to any extent to help that guy.

You are there when someone needs you the most and that is why you have always been a true friend. You work hard, you party even harder and yet you manage to do so many things, It is just amazing to see the amount of things which you and with so much efficiency. Be it Assignments, Utsaha, competitions, Placecom Work or anything, you always end up being the most hardworking person in that group. This amount

of efficient multi tasking is something that I hope to learn from you. You are that perfect mix of childishness and maturity which is so hard to find.

Stay always like that. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Siddharth, fondly called Mathur, is definitely one of the most energetic, bubbly personality I have come across in IIM Indore. A person who is ever-ready for all sorts of adventures and demented plans, I can always trust him to have a good time! :) Having worked with him in the placement committee, I guess I got to know him well only during the third semester, a fact that i’ll always regret. Had we gotten to know each other earlier, maybe, my first two sems would have been more interesting! ;-) All the night-outs, bitching, late night meetings, your dance in the DJ nites and our legendary fight are times I will treasure forever! You’ve been a constant source of support and fun dude!!! Keep that bakchodi appetite of yours on the high, and do keep in touch! ;-) ...NIKHIL SHARMA

Mathur or Mathura is undoubtedly my closest friend on campus. Surprisingly, I never had a chance to interact well with him in the first six months of MBA. I just had an impression of him being a very childish person and a bit irritating, though I still feel the same about him. :P. Since then we have come a long way, being both the biggest critics and supporters of each other. Mathur, I got to know you a lot when we both started working together as a part of Placecom. Your uncanny ability of handling recruiters, sometimes literally begging, made me a fan of yours. You’re one person who has truckloads of energy and perseverance. I know you will keep trying to convince the other person till the time he gives in to your demands or blocks you altogether. Your happy-go-lucky kind of nature, your self-less approach makes everyone feel at ease and maybe that is why you have so many fans. I can recall several long discussions we had on millions of topic till 5 AM - 6 AM. Though I never wanted to say this, but I think you’re one person who I can trust with any issue or difficulty at any point of time. And yea how can I forget about your mindless craving for Chicken. You are always ready gobble up more and more chicken. But regardless of your childish side, I have no doubt in my mind that you’ll rock at whatever you do, be it marketing or anything else. To end withâ?¦.I know bastard who sent me that card! :P ...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Mathur ( chicki-tarian ) I also regret tht we met so late but then again, 2 yrs is nothing in comparison to the awesome times we r gonna hv ahead in future including GOA â?º You are one of my closest friend and among very few who knows everything about me. I cn never forgt those crazy

discussion we always have. That night mess, placom life discussions, discussion about relationship and its after-effects, I found a friendship that I am gonna cherished for ever. When I first met you, you came across as a happy-go-lucky kid but then your sense of maturity struck me during our bakar sessions. You â??one-woman-man stand still amuses meâ?? ( Oh, those awesome fb stalking sessions :D) Your work commitment and passion for marketing stands above all. I have never seen such an enthusiastic placommer. I know, the time will soon come when you will make an awesome position for yourself in the corporate world. Cheers to life!! ...MAYANK JAIN

Mathuuur ! You are undoubtedly one of my best friends on campus.

Whenever I hear some gossip, I feel like immediately calling you and that speaks a lot about the strength of our friendship. It is surprising how I can so easily share everything that is happening in my life with you. I love giving advice to you although you never implement any of it :P And you have always been there for me whenever I am confused or stressed about aomething.Those long chats we have had have truly been fun and I hope we can continue having them in the future as well :) You are a trustworthy and loyal friend and I know I can trust you with my life. Always be this way. PS: I love your sense of humour though I will not admit it if you ask me in person. :P...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Mathur, I have known you right from the days when we were in the same section. But it was only after you became spc, i got to know you better.. such a wonderful character you are.. you never fail to bring the cheer and masti in the group always.. As a placommer i salute your work dude.. The immense commitment and energy that you possess make me feel sometimes that I can never get close to you.. i am sure that you will excel in your career as a marketing professional. All the best for life dude :) :) Stay in touch :)...SIMPSON SELWYN

My wing mate for 2 years and we sat side by side in PGP1. Thanks man for waking me up on all those days I dozed off :-P I would remember how u would detest me smoking in the corridor, and how I would pull your leg each time you would use facewash. You had been a wonderful friend and would cherish our memories forever. Wish you all the best in life. Stay in touch.. :-)...Rajarshi Biswas

Mathur, the party planner. I’ve never seen so much enthusiasm in one person. From the ultimate cul-commer to the most loved pla-commer,

your career trajectory at IIM I has amazed us all :) You’re a deadly combination of dedicated and smart. I wish we’d spent a little more time together! But DPS will always be better than Modern. ...ANKITA SATIJA If he looks at you, and he is smiling for no apparent reason, you are in so much trouble my friend. Quite possibly the most mischievous fellow on campus, and o-so-much fun to be around. Matlab bore to banda ho hi nahi sakta iske hotay huay! Met him in the first few days of college, and considering his, â??Chal aa baith chicken khaate hainâ?? nature, didnâ??t take too long to be friends with him. His knowledge of all things marketing is mind-blowing, and I was lucky enough to work with him in Interrobang. Jo hua so hua, but if thereâ??s one thing I know about him, heâ??s going to rock the mkting world. Extremely sensible guy, no wonder he was the first culcommer to end up in placom!I still remember the time Gola and Chaksu managed to wriggle out the truth about who chatted with random girls from Chakshuâ??s id, and the ensuing gandgi! Bloody hilarious! Knowing you for 2 years, working with you for a little while, and having you around as a friend, was a pleasure. Bhai tu naa hota to lives of lord knows how many of us would have been utterly miserable! Keep spreading the joy and stay in touch. Kabhi phir mauka mila, to weâ??ll work together again, and have chicken lollypops. :P Enjoy!...PARTH KAPOOR

You have been a great mentor all along. You sure were an inspiration for most of us in the team and we all have learnt alot from you. Wish you all the very best! Do keep in touch! :)...PIYUSHA DANI

You are the most cool dude of placom. Thanks for guiding & correcting me at every stage with great patience. Hope you always be this cheerful..

All the very best for your future...Keep having fun:)...MUNNANGI SREE MEGHANA

Mathur - Easily the most genuine honest innocent hardworking true friend one can wish to have. Will always regret not having spent enough time with him. His dedication always amazes me. Very likable guy who never ceases to entertain you. He’s full of energy and will never go back on his friends. Its very hard for him to say “no” to anyone.For the last time Mathur, there is no secret behind me asking for the lanterns :P Everytime I get a perverted message I must forward it first to this guy and I know he will do the same to me. Very passionate person by nature, always spreading cheer and joy to everyone around him. I’d luv to see the fat chubby Mathur someday :P If you havent met Siddharth Mathur, you are missing something in life. Loads of luv :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Maaathurrr /Chikkan! Met at TIME for mock extempore where I got to see this serious guy(reminds me of IIM A clipping of you :P ) Didn’t know you were so much fun until we actually started talking. Anyway we would have been in the same institute SP Jain or here :D Must say one of the most dynamic guy--from Culcom to Placom :D :D Others see this fin side of you, but I have also seen the guy who has been with me whenever I needed to talk. Waking you up for breakfast,our never successful delhi plans, Our bakar group, Pabbo in your room, the big pilow in your room and your superb last minute help in marketing ..all this comes to my mind when I think of you. We’ve had a lot of fun together at IIM Indore, and this will continue whenever we meet in life :) P.S. I loved your dirty double meaing jokes and I will really miss them. ...PALAK MAHANOT You have a serious talent in negotiating, which inspires our team. All the best! Keep in touch :)...BHASKAR MANDELIA

Maathur! Super connected, extremely street smart and extremely hard working.. You are serious when it comes to work, but a whole new side of yours emerges during the bakar sessions! Yes, the chicken your mom made was awesome! I’ll always remember the day we spent at your home, and the awesome 10 course meals your mom fed us. Wow! Total five star treatment. We also discovered the fat kid that you were once upon a time, and your pink bedsheet :-P I have had interactions with you off and on for IIC- Placom work and Utsaha where I realised how good you are at your work. Even if I’m half as good as you in sales, I’ll achieve all Pidilite’s targets ;-) ATB, looking fwd to work :)...Raoul Lopes

Mathur! You amazed me with the amount of energy you showed managing multiple PORs, live projects and maintaining the same enthusiasm in all places! Be it Utsaha or Wrigleys, you showed great commitment to your work and am sure this attitude will you take you places in your career. All the best :)...ROHINI H

Mathur is one person I have seen on campus who is ever ready for any outing, for any fun and for any gossip. I have been always surprised how gossips reached you first or you reached them first. Your obsession for Potty Jokes is something I can’t get away from my mind. RIP and HOP were definitely some of the choicest moments we shared. My perception of Mathur being that quintessential CUlCom fellow com-

pletely changed when I saw you working assiduously as a Placommer. I am sure you are going to go places with your sharp wit, street smartedness and extreme flair of looking at things with a practical point of view.

I will always regret our failure at LIME as I always wanted to win atleast 1 competition with you. Nonetheless, getting a flavour of your hospitality while staying at your house, being the butt of lot of jokes and pranks you have done on me, seeing your typical kamar-hilaoing dance step in Dj Nights -- all shall be missed. It will be great fun and learning to have you at the same workplace. Cya there. Cheers..:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Siddharth aka Mathur has always been the party planner of our group.. and undoubtedly a great one! :-D Well I have to admit that even though we have been friends for a long time now, I got to know the real him much later.. and now I can proudly say that he’s a LOT of fun to hang out with.. someone I wouldn’t mind cracking even the cheapest and the most nonveg jokes with :-P (even though he’s a guy!) and yes, a great potential manager.. he has often impressed me with his marketing fundas and his organisational skills..and i truly believe he’ll go a really long way in life! :-) Wish you all the best for your future Mathur! Hope we’ll never lose touch.. tc :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Mathur! Got to know him just before joining the institute at TIME and my first impression was that he is a very serious person who would have no time for anything else but books. And today, I think he is one of the most fun-loving, caring and helpful persons I have ever come across, and who likes to experiment with new things. My best moments on this campus have been with him, be it at RIP, HOP or the innumerable outings and parties that we have attended together :) I’m sure his hardwork and dedication will fetch him all the success in life and I wish him all the best for that.

Hope to have many more breakfasts together in the coming years :D Be in touch and keep rocking like you always do!...AJITESH MEHTA

I came to know Mathur from CulCom. He is also a neighbor in the block.

A chilled out guy and a very sincere and hardworking person. We had an awesome time in junior CulCom. A very approachable friend who is always ready to help. Thanks for helping me out in the time of need. Hope to stay in touch. All the best for your future!!...SENAJIT CHAKI Mathur! You are always full of random stories and there’s never a dull moment with you around. Be it taking case of others (Read : SInghu, Mayank, Bhoomi :P) or when others are taking your case, you are always a

sport. :D When I used to ping for breakfast and you used to sleep it off , you told me to ‘not ping’ but ‘ring’. :P Man, my best memories with you has to be post placement working for competitions esp. on P&G dream team. I have never spoken to anyone in my life about women’s sanitary needs with this much detail and for hours:P. I was completely surprised with your useful insights on the topic. I have also had the most “erotic conversation” of my life on texts with you only as Santosh, the boy having a crush on you. :P You knew all the while that it was me but you still played along. :P Other than working with you, I have seen countless movies with you, innumerable eat-outs, walks on campus, gossip sessions and lots more. I totally enjoy party planning with you, remember Utsaha. :) All in all, you are a complete package with who one can work and have fun with equal ease. I am so so so glad to have you as my Pidi buddy. :D I really hope we get the same city so that we can continue with the good times. You are awesome.

Keep rocking. :)...SWATI VERMA

Mathur is like the epitome of a balanced personality for me. Always calm and relaxed and focused, this guy has inspired me a lot. (although i did not really tell him that ever!) We fist met during that orientation session in the new audi when me, you, ajju, palak and sonakshi walked back to the sunset point together. Since that day i have cherished our friendship and i am really going to miss those times..specially when we had nafees together, RIP, gymming (where you only did biceps & abs :P) and of course the placement season, when you were a great support! All the best for the future. Keep in touch, always :) ...NITIN VERMA

You have been a true surprise package..ek time par sirf party and outings ka sochne wale, next term got into placecom but despite all this at time of lectures he will be the only one among us who will reach prepared with the case and readings, do all assignments! pata nahi kaise aur kab karta yeh sab kuch. And after all this heâ??s available for bakar, movies, eating out anytime u ask.. ready to play pranks on anyone anytime and everytime.. cool, fun person to have around..bahut log phas chuke hain iske pranks mein !! :P His craze for senseless hindi masala movies, love for nafees biryani, gross jokes! I remember that one time we got to know during summers that we both had actually left SP Jain Mktg for IIM Indore.. and then tht â??Oh God! Tu bhiâ?? moment.. :P Heâ??s by far among the most notorious but amazing and helpful friends I have made on campus. Looking forward to all the fun

times ahead! ...NEHA KANWAL

Mathur! Man all the pranks you have pulled have just been awesome. You are one of the wittiest people on campus and arguably one of the coolest as well! I’ve seen how dedicated you are to your work and also how dedicated you are to your parties. You have been my chicken buddy, sober buddy, occasional gym buddy and most importantly a really good friend :) Cheers! All the best for the years to come :) ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

Have known him since the very beginning of 1st year and have shared some amazing times together..Culcom and section D helped us become great friends in the 1st year itself :) Initially I never thought you would be such a fun person :P but trust me u don’t even need to get high to talk all nonsense :D u r in that high-spirited fun mode almost always (except placom stuff obviously :P) Can’t forget your variety of jokes- good, bad, lame, disgusting :D Trust me, organizing culcom events would not have been fun at all had you not been there :D DJ nights, section parties, random timepass anytime anywhere, Utsaha projects, planning home trips..fondly remember all these wonderful times :) You are truly a great friend whom I can trust and who has been there for me to advise me and support me when needed. I’m sure you will do great in Pidilite (Fevicol ache se bechna :P you never know you might get the chance of visiting Patna again ;) :D) All the best for your personal life too ;) :) I’m sure we will stay in touch :) Cheers!! ...POOJA JUGRAN

Mathur! In the first year, I always thought of you as this cool guy, who hosts all these dance parties in your room. I didnâ??t get a chance to interact with you much then. And I sincerely hope that we do get that chance in the days to come. From what I have noticed, you are extremely sharp and observant. I love your sense of humour which I only got to experience in this last term. Cheers to the times ahead. Keep in touch. ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Mathur - you define what a go-getter attitude is all about. Your tireless efforts have single-handedly brought so many opportunities to the institute.

I remember Alokraj telling me during summers last year that you will work the hardest among all of us and he should feel vindicated now that you have. You are wonderful at sales and convincing people and will definitely do well there. Best of luck for everything and keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

Mathurrrrr...the coolest placommer :P..Well I still remember the crazy talks we all had during term 1 in group meetings where you used to talk only and do nothing :P ...I still canâ??t stop laughing thinking about you affection for Yelisetti :P Jokes apart...you a very chilled out guy with great sense of humor.. Very dedicated towards work (if you plan to do it :) )...Stay in touch and keep smiling :)...NAVNEET KAUR

Mathru (no that’s not a typo :P) is the most fun loving energetic person I’ve ever met. Never seen him pissed or tensed; he’s the perfect example of everything fit into a small package!...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

although initially i met mathur during few small meet ups in his room for a game or any party.. but i think we came to know each other well during our intern in mumbai.. and became very good frnds.. i cant imagine my stay in mumbai without yu and mNkoo.. yu guys have always been wid me.and made mumbai such a memorable trip.. all the juhu beach fun., the golas that we had, our local train experience, marine drive walks and trying new restaurants and mankoos ke gane khane ke order jhelna i ll always cherish these memories.. but yea one highlight was our shirdi trip and that gunda who scared the hell out of yu.. hehee.. yu are a super fun person.. i am lucky to have a frnd like yu... shaadi pe bula lio.. and chutkoooooo tu mere bina pakka bore ho jayega mumbai main..:P stay blessed always.....EKTA AGGARWAL

First year in Culcomm and second year in Placomm...These things say a lot about you ...You are a very sweet, friendly person and at the same time have immense work ethics ..I got confirmation of above from the work we did together for Amazaon challenge...I always admire your friendly nature and hope to continue to be in touch with you..You were the Placomm rep of my company GS..and one of the earlier persons whom I shared with the happy feeling of getting placed :) :) Thanks a lot :).....Best of luck for your future :) :)...UDIT BOKARIA

Mathur ke baarey mein kyaa likhoon, which he doesnt know. He’s my brother and I am sure he knows that, Be it random bakar in his room or serious talks we have come a long way. He’s one of the best people I have met and I am proud to have a friend like him. He knows the value of friendship and has been not just a good friend to me but also a constant advisor. I so remember our jogging days and he makes the environment around so easy, so friendly. Mathur, ur a gem of a person

and I dont know how to thank you for all the times we have spent together.

Stay the way you are and I hate writing these testimonials, coz they are sort of ways to say good-bye. However, I dont think its good-bye for the both of us coz We are always always going to stay in touch. ...VAIBHAV GOEL

Mathur Bhai aapke baare main bohot suna hai. Even if we interacted few times whenever I saw you I always smiled because for me you will always be a good friend whom I could always rely on. From being a super duper fun guy in 1st year you converted into a serious placomer in 2nd :D. Hell, you patiently dealt with my endless stupid queries with a smile. Good luck in for your future bro :). A person as hardworking as you would always do well in life. Do Stay in touch :)...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

SIM

Simpson is an extremely genuine, soft and nice person...Even when he has to be serious and has to bear this grumpy PlaComm look, you can tell that it is not coming naturally to him....very intelligent and logical, I am very happy that he is going to a company he really deserved to get into. Wish you all the success in life, buddy :) (And yes, this thing we do - me calling you Simpu and you calling me back Mr. Roy - I hope we remember this when we accidently bump into each other some 15 years down the road :D)...RUDRASHIS ROY

The first guy I met on campus! From the same city, what are the odds of that! You were always too busy... What with committee work and all :P You’re like a machine when it comes to getting work done. Near military levels of discipline, you were the only other guy who would be up around 6- 7 AM back in first year! The difference of course being that you would have slept only about 3 hrs ago :P Hehehe anyways, here’s to a fruitful career and happy years to come machi! Cheers and stay in touch :)...Avinash Chidambar

Hey Simpson, interacted with you for the group assignments in term 4 and HOP as well. It was great that despite being in Placomm you would do your bit for the assignments. HOP revealed a different aspect about you ( “affluent Mumbai lover” :P). Wish you the best! ...SHREYA TANDON

Simpoo. Yep, right to next to you. The first classes on campus and I had a sense of satisfaction that I had come to the right place where students have an amazing work ethic. Days passed, people changed, but if there is something that has stayed consistent is your work ethic.

I could see the difficulty you had to face to be grumpy in situations that demanded for it. Hard work pays off and it certainly has. Wishing you great success! ...Rishabh Trivedi

Our first conversation was in Mess 2 - we had known each other from JPC pre process (Phew !). Initially u gave me an impression of being a little serious types. But I soon realized that u were pretty chilled out person... very frank and honest. It was great to do HOP together..though the two of us were the most bimaru person in the group :P I wish u all the very best for ur future. Keep touch ... call me whenever in common city :) :) :)...

AYUSH AGARWAL

A synonym for honesty and hard-work. With the tough resonsibilities you have handled at campus, I doubt whether I myself could remain so honest had I been in your place. This quality has no substitute and will really take you a long, long way. Talking about hard work, very few people would have put in so much discipline and meticulousness in their placement preparations. That hard work always pays off you have shown with your leading example. A very helpful, down-to-earth and humble immediate neighbour I had in you. Wish you all the best and keep in touch! :-)...

DEBAYAN BISWAS

Simpoo- Initially, when I met you I always thought of you as being a serious no-nonsense guy and respected you immensely because of that. But, slowly as we have spent more time together I realize how cool a person you actually are! You are extremely hard-working and always take up complete responsibility of whatever is assigned to you, and have never shied away from responsibility. You are one person in the committee to whom someone looked up to and could call whenever help is required.

Now serious stuff apart, at several times you are still like a teenage boy.

And that is the charm which has floored so many girls :) You are the only guy in this world with whom I have shared two movie dates (Grand Masti and Wolf of Wallstreet) and so you will always be special for me. There is never a dull moment with you and that’s why everyone wants to be around you. Stay always like that. Cheers! ...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

The first time we met was around 2 am for acad comm interview. Though it was heart warming to note that you too couldn’t clear it to my grief you cracked placomm :P Nevertheless, you are the ideal placomm material coz you never get tired, never sleep and can do any load of work :-o We frequently had dinner in term-2, perhaps the only time you had some

breathing space, and it was nice to note that this grumpy palcommer has a sense of humour too :) You are sure to scale heights in your career. Wishing you good luck and hope our roads cross once again! ...SRINIVAAS G

SimmmmpSooooonnnnnn!!!!! or thats the way I call him when ever I see you.... Some how I got habituated in calling you like that ..... you are one of the guys in campus who is genuine and calm and composed.... humility comes to you naturally and the way you speak is pleasing .... It was cool knowing you as a person.... have a fun time atleast now where ever you go !!! Cheers buddy!!! ...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Got to know Simpson during our IV to Radisson which we had thought would be a dream IV, but it turned out to be otherwise :-p However, it was fun working with him, He is extremely sincere about his work.

Also, he is very diligent. He made a brilliant IV report, even though he was busy with Placom work. He is extremely down to earth and a good human-being. He loves to talk. It was great knowing you. Wishing you all the best for all your future endeavours!...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

Simpoodaaa, the grand old man of placom. Dude you are one of the most disciplined guys I’ve met here. I’m really happy that all your hard work has finally paid off and you have the most awesome job on campus. It was fun to work with you. Stay in touch. Apni shaadi pe bula lio saale :P ATB \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Simpooo!! My first recollection of you was a person with utmost dedication who worked the whole nights in CC lab for JPC Processes ,apart from the fact that you have a very interesting name :) I have always admired you for your self discipline. Your work is always up to date and immaculate.And you are a person who is very pure at heart- sometimes a really innocent child. I love your jokes, and the way you prop up laughing at things. Always stay like that. I wish you all the best for your life ahead. Get married soon to the kind of girl you want(which you narrated to me once if you remember) and do invite me :D :) Keep smiling :)...SONAKSHI BEHL

Simpoo Da, as I always love to call him, is a great asset to our team and a superb person to work with. Simpoos, in the past one year, I

have become a fan of your unmatchable qualities of handling processes, organizing things in our team and handling tough issues. No wonder you are the Grand Daddy of our team. You are one balanced and mature person who works diligently without trying to show off or something. This quality of yours is surely going to take you places. I am quite confident that in no time you will climb up the ladders of corporate hierarchy to be one of the best consultants. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors. Do keep in touch regardless of your busy schedule. :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Simpu, You are the most hard working and disciplined guy working for the â??ROLEâ?? assigned to you at IIM. One thing anyone would say about you is that you always provided honest answers for any problem that anyone came up with. You have been always helpful for any of the placement related work for me. I had a good time interacting with you on many occasions....I am sure that weâ??ll continue to have the same in future, whenever and wherever we meet again...keep in touch...Cheers!!!...ANIKET YEVALKAR

hilarious incident about tis guy: he was relaxing inside steam bath and a couple of media guys covering the infrastructure of planet-I came inside with video camera..from the next day he has been seeing the newspaper if his photograph in those costumes had been published :p :p..we call him sims katta..we did our placement prep together and joining the same company :) :)..one person who manages his time the best..hope to continue his friendship for many years to come :) :)...VENKAT DUBASH. L

Dadddy! The great backbone of placom and the guy who likes to remain subdued and in the sidelines always. I am a great fan of your calm and composed nature. You have always been the person I looked upon during tough times. You have been my friend, a mentor, a critic and a well wisher. But dei you should try and get along with people da, you should also let others know how sincere and dedicated you are :P. You also demonstrate canny behaviour at times which people forget to catch. Dei dagalti I have seen you at close quarters and I know what a big fraud you are, though you are good at deceiving people. I don’t think this space is enough to share how much you have influenced me as a person and a fellow placommer, but one thing, I have tried to emulate you at times thinking how you would have handled it had you been there. That much you were able to influence me da daddy. Your ability and capacity would sure take you places. Always keep your head low as you are now. Don’t

forget to call me for your wedding, which I thing you would. :P Enjoy life big size da. And yea, stop hijacking free stuffs :) ATB...RAHUL S

Simpu is one of the most chilled out yet a really hard-working guy... that is what makes him a deadly combo. He appears to be very serious but once is opens up he is good at bakchodi too.Two years he has worked tirelessly for Placom and slept in the class to make up for the lost sleep. I am a great fan of you for your dedication and sincerity and always be the same. Wishing you a successful life ahead and keep in touch :)...CHINMAY NAHAR

Simposonaaa. The most hard-working and sincere guy Iâ??ve met!

From our initial days in Section-D to making umpteen no. of groups together â?? Iâ??ve had a great time with you on campus. Youâ??re a great guy but simple nonetheless. One can count on you for anything.

Always be this way and keep in touch!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI Despite his old age and serious look, simpu is like a child at heart. He is focused and goal oriented since the day he came to campus - puts in a lot of effort. He never misses nafeez on campus...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

Simpson is a very funny guy. And he’s a PlaCom member. Which is what confused me a lot when I met him the first time. Very chatty and very witty, he’s the kind you’d want to hang around all the time. Had a lot of fun during the farce that was the Industrial visit :P A very smart fellow, his sincere and hard-working nature would blow your mind. All the best Simpooo....KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

I met Simpson once when he was having breakfast alone.. We hit it off instantly.. this says a lot about you.. you are an affable, nice, simple, soft spoken and helpful person.. whenever i wanted to know anything about placements you were the first person i called.. thanks for guiding me.. Wish you all the best in the future.. keep in touch :)...Parth Kosada Through the little interactions we had, I got to know that you are a very hard working, sincere & dedicated person. I always admired your simplicity. Thank you for all the guidance & help you gave. Wish you all the very best for your future:):)...MUNNANGI SREE MEGHANA

Simpoo, affable, meticulous and very genuine fellow. Met you during

JPC times and it was real fun interacting with you. You remain pretty composed even under tremendous pressure which is commendable. Wish you good health and prosperity in future! ...ARCHIT JAIN

Simpson - Simpoo I Love you! Told you I would write that :D Dude you are awesome. Unmatched dedicated, sense of responsibility, efficiency, planning. You had to be in placom dude cause people like me need ideals like you to look up to. Admire you so much for always having that child in you. Ever since JPC days I looked up to you. You are one of few people who I absolutely need acknowledgement from cause it means a lot. I will never forget all the perverted conversations we had. I swear I will remember all you first crushed on campus and will come back to haunt you :P I cant wait to come dance on your wedding day :) Thank you Simpson.

Love you always :) :)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Simpoo....person is who is ready to help you anytime. very calm composed, dedicated, sincere and simple guy. During CTC assignment you proved me wrong that placommers are free riders!!!:P you have done the most of work with quality inputs even better than rest of the people.

Thanks for your all help and guidance :) wish you best luck for successful career :)...Vishal Shah

Always calm and composed, I never got the opportunity to know much about you. But from whatever I have seen you have always come across as a disciplined and hard working guy. All the best. Keep in touch :)...

BHASKAR MANDELIA

How can one person be so upright, so dedicated, so simple, so perfect and such a brilliant friend all at the same time. Our friendship dates back to the bakra group and what-a-time it was. I remember, when you had made the finance assignment for bakra with perfect handwriting, drawing the lines with pencil and scale. I was so so proud of that one assignment. I still remember, the seniors tried to make fun of everyone but they saw our assignment, asked a couple of questions and just let us go. Our friendship for me would always stand for such times when we did try and give our best. You have been one of the most approachable people from the PC, especially for me and you have been extremely humble and kind to me even after getting there. Sincerely hoping our roads would cross again where I would meet Mr. Consultant again to get some tips! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Sims, people become professionals, but some are born one. I remember how our random talks developed into a good friendship. Had great time studying OFD, bitching about course load and the misery. Some good times in BAV and corp bank assignments. A few mis-fired competition registrations, i know you wont forgive me for that but still.

But all the same, been a great friend, a mentor and guide with loads of advice about gyming, health and suana bath ( :P ). Best wishes for the road ahead, do invite me for your wedding, keep in touch ! :)...S NITISH SIVARAMAKRISHNAN

Simpoo, I admire you for the diligence and hard work you put towards everything you do. I still remember you coming prepared with case in every lecture despite high placement workload and still not participating in class discussion :P Lectures in PGP1 were ever interesting with 3 of us (me, mayank and you) together. Hereâ??s to hoping for a lifelong friendship!...AGARWAL ROHAN RAJENDRA

Simpoo, the most efficient and hardworking guy I ever met. During the placom days, our friendship prospered and going to the same company is gonna make it awesome. Your go-by-the-book nature inspires me a lot. I still remember you sitting in the same row and covering all cases while I was dozing every second moment. You are the backbone of placom and a perfect manager material. No doubt, you will be a top notch consultant in future . Hyderabad is waiting for us, dude :D...

MAYANK JAIN

Simpson..*Evil Grin* the guy who used to be so jealous of my victory in UNO :P claiming that I cheat? :O How inconsiderate!! :P Got to know him well during HOP and it was actually hard to believe that he has those fluent HINDI speaking skills. He appears to be reserved and shy but boy, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one to name me bit awkwardly?! Subri Nosi :O Haha! I wonder what are the origins of this name? ..Anyway..not to forget his hardworking skills and risk averse attitude :P (HOP adventures!)

Of little have I known about you..still the memories shall forever stay.. all the best for future..:)...SURBHI SONI

Simpu is the most chilled out and awesome guy, who fears no one.

Very good to talk to and likeable. Super sincere and mixes perfectly well with anyone and everyone. ...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

Simpson - Maga, you have looked out for the entire team - be it excel

gyan, emails, reminders and what not. Your own work ethic is something none of us can match. The fact that you balanced work, academics at this level is worthy of admiration. Your dedication to Nafees has also been equally amazing. :) You will do very well - there is not an iota of doubt in my mind and I wish you the best of luck for good times ahead. Keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

Pi Shop nafees bulk deal was never complete without a simpson order :D From the pi shop team, we should have given some sort of award to officially recognize your love for nafees :P Totally committed to pi shop and nafees :D I can safely assume that you would have carried out placom duties with same commitment and dedication :) Wish you all the best in life and hope to keep in touch :) !...KARTHIK HARIHARAN

Well Sonakshi...! You were the first person from IIM-I whom I met (at the Delhi Rendevouz). Your advice has always helped me since that time. Wish you success in your endevours..! Lets keep in touch..! ...ISHAN GURG

Sonakshi- My first memory of you is at our Section party, when everyone in the class seemed to wanting to dance with you. :P We first spoke on that day and have been friends since. There are so many fond memories associated with you whether it is in college, at the many parties and night outs, at Cummins or the late night discussions we’ve had at HOP. You are someone who’s always been very nice and sweet with me, but I have more often than not behaved rudely or not talked properly, and I would like to apologize for that. You are an honest, fun-loving, slightly self-obsessed, cheerful person and I wish that you always stay like that. You’ll always be a very close friend for me.

Mumbai me jaa ke bhul mat jaana; main jab bhi Mumbai me rahunga, we’ll party hard! Take care. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Joless...despite being one of the most caring and best friends on campus, you are also by far the most craziest one I have. So you too get the privilege of getting my first testimonial. :P I have enjoyed every moment that I’ve spent with you over the past few months...RIP (The Toothbrush incident :P), HOP, bakar in night mess, your nagging about almost every thing in life :P. Anyhow, you have been one person I can call anytime to share just about anything - personal or professional.

You have been a rockstar for me :D Aur tera peechha to main nahi choodunga :P Wish you all the very best for your life and career \m/...

Sonakshi..We had chatted on FB before coming to campus..She was the most active girl in the Call-getters community.However, dint get much chance to interact in college. It was great working with her in Finance League.She led the team very well and pulled off a great show. She is talented and has got great leadership qualities. Wish her all the very best in all her future endeavors. :)...PARAG PODDAR

Sonakshi is an awesome person. Made even the most mundane meetings fun. Always wears her smile like a lucky charm, and it works too! Had a lot of fun working with you during Utsaha. All the best for your future, and keep in touch! :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Honestly, staring mein I never thought you could be someone with whom I will ever get along... but then it started from Laxmi Nagar metro station .... then volleyball... then assignment groups... whatsapp... same electives.... tera rona dhona... treats....priority :P... aur pata nahi kya kya.... and suddenly we were very good friends... you are one of the most awesome people I know and someone I really enjoy talking with.... always stay the way you are and be in touch hamesha...!! Have a great life ahead... :) :)...

Sonakshi, take her name ad what comes to my mind is your awesome passion for dance. The Dj Nights wouldn’t have been fun had it not been for you showing steps and me following them. RIP and HOP have been by far the best of the memories I have shared with you. I still remember all the fun we had together. I know our meetings and talks have reduced but you shall always be missed foryour happy go lucky nature. All the best for a bright future ahead. Cheers..:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Sonakshi, have you now seen Swades, Rang De Basanti and Veer Zara? So we’re walking to Gate 2 discussing the most famous of oneliners from these movies somewhere in the beginning of First Year and this Girl is clueless having not watched any of them. I never thought I’d even want to satay in touch with her. Which nerd does that. But the journey from there was towards a friendship that would last, hopefully for a long time. Courtesy Industry Visit to Kriti Group, I have shared the maximum number of city rides with you I think. Although we did only 6% of the work that was asked. The fun we had, the moments we shared and the anecdotes we’d have to tell each other some years down the line would enrich the friendship we’ve shared. Stay in touch! ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

First time I am forced to believe that you are my senior :P. You have been always helpful right from writing the NPAD to Presentations to placements. Bas ek bar tune chod dikhayegi thi Equit I me na le kar.

You owe a lot of treats to me including for RBI :P. I will always remember the moments shared with you. Wish you a bright future. Aur DB me jake bhul mat jayo ...MUNISH DUREJA

You are the only one I knew here before coming to Indore and you were more than enough...the consistent support and guide that you always have been is something I will always be grateful for....Thank you for all your support...All the best for your future endeavours....

Stay in touch:)...ABHISHEK GARG

One of my best ever friends till date. Had so much fun along with you over the course of these two years. I didn’t imagine that we’ll become such close friends one day. You are the only one person (and take pride in that ;)) who I have commented on almost everything, whether it be dressing style, food choice, hairstyle and what not. I can recall the expression on your face every time I do this. I don’t understand why I do it (obviously its so much fun :p) but sorry cant help it. I cant imagine anyone who can bear with my constant nagging and I seriously don’t know how you manage it. Although first appearance of yours can give a slightly arrogant image (not my words :P) but after talking to you that image changes. You are one of the most selfless, sweet, good hearted, caring, sincere and humble person that one can come across. I never need a reason, time or place to talk to you. You have been handling all my randomness, madness and nonsense for so long and I cannot be more thankful to you. I really feel great after hearing all your fam-

ily stories and also weird stories especially travelling alone in train ones :p. Whenever I needed to talk to anyone you were always there. I really enjoyed every moment spent till date with you whether it be going out for dinner, booze parties, room parties, night mess or casual hangout. One thing that amazes me is that how can a person be so figure conscious but eats cheese/junk food the next day :p. You are cute in your own way asking me ‘how do I look’ and making that grumpy face until I say ‘Yeah you look good’. During all those competitions you really showed that you can work hard and so you deserve special mention. Mumbai trip was great although we didn’t get much time :P. I just want to say thanks for all the beautiful memories we had on campus and will look forwards to our future trips. All the best for DB and I know you will rock there also. You are one of the best memories at IIM Indore :)...Tushar Gupta

Sonakshi.. the girl with one of the cutest nicknames ever,,”Jolu” :-D Well, I have shared some amazing experiences with her.. be it RIP or our late night girl talks or deciding what to wear for parties :-P.. she is someone I wouldn’t mind calling HAWT even at the risk of being tagged a lesbian :-P (remember I have called u that once in public :-P)..she is truly the “Ms Beauty with Brains”.. and am sure she’ll do really well for herself in life :-) The sudden Ujjain trip with her is something I really can’t forget.. am sure she hated me loads for interrupting her sleep but I can assure her that it wouldn’t have been the awesome trip that it was if it was not for her :-) ..she is so much fun to hang out with and also very mature at the same time.. i wish her all the luck in the world! am sure, she’ll be rocking at DB!!

All the best Jolu! I will cherish each and every moment spent with u.. keep smiling and keep in touch :-)...VARTIKA AGGARWAL

Here i go one more time ...Joluuuuuuu hehe...just saying this maked me feel happy and alive. You are one of my first friends on campus and remember how dramatically we met. Travelled by same metro and didnt realise that we’ll become such good friends in just a month. Its been two years which passed by in a blink of an eye with so sooo many good moments shared with you. RIP time and most importantly our talks...remember the day we talked for 2 hours on phone during internship! sabse daat pit gai thi ghar pe :P We shall always be together ladki :D :* and office join krne se pehle shopping bhi saath me hi karenge :D Be in touch and keep smiling like this :D Love your smile and will miss dancing with you in DJ Parties... Aati rahungi bombay bhi :D ...PALAK MAHANOT

One of the most bindaas girls I came across at Planet I.... was always fun

to hang out with you...and interacting too...Not a worry about trivia....

But with all that one really amart girl who deserve to go places in life.... aur zaada load mat liya kar kabhi kabhi like equit-I....nothing is too important in life! Section party, DJ nyts, that one time TDS and 26 shall all stay in my memory lane I hope urs too....stay in touch gal.... :)...

Hope we get a chance to drink together again....NITIN VERMA

One of the most sporty girl of our batch.....she truly deserves the bindaas girl ka khitaab. Volleyball enthusiasts - beware of her smashes :D. Easy going personality, fin guru aur daraawne resume credentials, the girl is simple awesome. We had an awesome time together in gym as well :). Take care and god bless u. Keep in touch :)...PRASHANT KUMAR GUPTA

Sonakshi, it was a pleasure knowing you. Equiti treats and parties were so much fun because of you. I was truly impressed by the amount of hardwork you put during Finance league. And someday, we shall make Nidhi so drunk that she WILL dance. We shall make that day possible :P. Do keep in touch and all the best for your life ahead......

Sonakshi! Ab tere baare mein kya likhoon..you know everything about you and it’s the other way round too(hopefully). You are my best friend and I don’t know anyone who is as sweet, caring and irritating as you are :p First impression toh you know, I found you an arrogant, self obsessed person but as I spent more time with you, I realized that an MBA partcipant can also be so stupid and idiotic :p Improve on your geographical knowledge, ab toh bahar bhi ghoomna hai :p I cannot even imagine life at IIM-I without you. I have so many memories with you-late night walks, watching stupid movies, good movies, JAM, night mess, trying out new eating places(obviously aur kahin toh jaate nahi hai) and I can go on and on. Thanks for tolerating me as well as Arsenal and FIFA, I don’t think anyone else can deal with all my tantrums and apologies for misbehaving so manytimes but ye sab toh chalta rehta hai :p The Arsenal mug is my favorite birthday gift along

wih the other 20 :D Bas I am getting senti now (sob sob) so I will sign off wishing you good luck and we shall explore more eating places in a new city now. PS: patli hojaa :p ...KUSHAL JAJOO

JOLES! Kitna aasaan hai tujhe hasaana! Even with my mediocre sense of humor, tu pait pakad ke hasne lagti hai, and that laughter is so cute!!! :P I remember meeting you and Mathur in the initial days of college! RIP would have been so boring agar tu naa hoti! I canâ??t recall the name we had given to our group of drunks (D-gang or something, me you and Nitin)! All the times in Mathurâ??s room, logon ki birthdays, lunches and gossips are memorable! Tujhe tang karne mein jitna mazaa aata hai, utna kisi ko tang karne mein nahi aata! Over and above that, youâ??re such a sport! Meri baaton ka you never maanoed buraa, which is a rarity in people here! Poore 2nd year dikhi nahi because of your extra-curricular interests, but jab bhi dikhti hai, you bring a smile to my face! :P Iâ??m so happy you got what you wanted here, finally! Superstar Joles now youâ??ve become! And yet 5 saal ke bachhon ki tarah hasti hai! :P Chocolates ki chinta matt kar, mil jaayengi! Chal ab jaada time waste mat kar, Ruzzle ki practice kar nahi phir haar jaayegi! :P Yaad rakhiyo! Best of luck for the coming times, youâ??ll succeed like nothing else has! Thanks for all the great times, it was so much fun being around you! You will be missed so much Joles! Love. :) ...PARTH KAPOOR

Yo Sonakshi!! Ghajini se kam nahi tu!! Kya re!! I am still doubtful what to write about you in testimonial because normally we write about the time weâ??d spend together and all. Par tujhe mere bare me kuch yaad hi nahi rehta! Hadd toh tab huyi when you asked me if I had opted for B2B when I was sitting along with you throughout our sessions!! Kuch kar apni khopdi ka!! Barring that short term memory problem, youâ??re a great girl. A wonderful dancer. Iâ??d any day choose you as a dance partner. Yo. Full party girl re tu. Very pretty, but naya hairdo not that great, honestly:-P. Intelligent. And that peculiar style of speaking Delhi-ish hindi. Hahaha. You will never agree the way I mimic you Iâ??m sure. I had a really nice time with you during our summers, eating shawarmas, searching hostels for you, some random bakar, then section parties, your birthday wala party.

Apna PD wala plan bana nahi re ab tak. Banate hai kabhi. A person would always be delighted to have such a great friend like you. DB me jaake ab hum chhote logo ko BHOOL mat jana. Have a nice time, Amnesia ki patient!! Cheers and stay in touch :-D ...Ankit Rajshekhar Mate

Sonakshi- Although Initially i thought you had some trouble smiling, I

gradually got to know a fun loving girl ;) It was nice to be a your next door neighbour who would play music so loud that it was difficult to sleep :P and the countless gmail pings uff.. Stay this happy and cheerful. God bless...Sneha Tyagi

Joles! She is one of the first persons I met at IIM I. My first impression about her was that she would be a very dedicated and sincere person who will give her best to everything that she does, and I later found out, after working with her in the Equit-I junior team, that I was very much right. She is very friendly, sweet and of course charming ;) I have spent some of my best moments at IIMI with her, be it at RIP, where I had the jolu-ka-gulam moments :P, HOP, on the dance floor, birthday get-togethers, Equit-I parties and the list goes on. One thing I really admire about her is that she has a clear goal in her mind and the way she solves the difficult problems with ease always surprises me. I am sure that with her wisdom and her personality she will fetch all the success in her life and I wish her all the best for that. Do be in touch! Cheers! :)...AJITESH MEHTA

Joluuu !! You are an awesome person to hang out with. I always have so much fun with you. That mumbai trip we took together for that jbims competition really strengthened our friendship. Boombox cafe was also so much fun in Delhi. We tried all the cocktails and mocktails :PI love chatting and talking to you.You are a very genuine and frank person and I really like that about you. Whenever we have had conversations, they have been so frank and open. Always stay this way and best of luck for your future ! and Baaki we will continue partying in Mumbai :)...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Sonakshi! Your ping on a boring day at office in Cummins used to be a saving grace. I think we bonded over our eternal hate for it. :D Also, our jogging till sports complex (though once in a month) was fun and how can I not mention HOP when we shared rooms and tents. I remember how immediately you gave me an extra pair of socks because I was feeling so cold. HOP was surely a memorable time I had with you. You do stay in touch and I hope to see you in Mumbai. God Bless. :)...SWATI VERMA

We got to spend very less time with each other, but you come across as a friendly, sweet and innocent person. Had a great time with you during 5th term... Cows nd bulls practice karti rehna. Hope you will

win some day without giving a wrong clue :P I never felt alone in all those last minute studies and assignments, thanx to you. All the best for you future....RAJAT

Sonakshi we never really got a chance to interact much but believe me I heard a lot about you especially from Palak :). You came from CBSBFIA where I always wanted to be and the respect I had for you from starting has only increased with time with your increasing accolades. 2nd year main toh bhai phod diya aapne. Winning so many competitions that I could only dream of :P. Nevertheless, A lot of similar things have happened to us since we came here.. From being fin enthusiasts who ended up in wrong job during summers but bang on target in finals :D. Now, since we work for the same bank I really hope that we would be able to make up for lack of interactions during the college days in Mumbai by hanging out much much more :). Stay in touch. Best of luck for everything....Ishan Rishabh Kansal

This poor girl had to bear our football talk for 2 years in our group but never complained even once :) She has an ability to give her best when it matters, be it a competition or even an interview and therefore maintains a very good balance between having fun and studies. I remember once that I pissed her off for not working in a competition which I was not interested, so my apologies for that :D I am pretty sure we will be in constant touch in Mumbai :D, and regardless I wish you a great future :) ...Deepak Talluri

Bestest Senior I have ever met!!! No wonder i messaged you at random times and asked you all the stupid question one can ask on this planet before joining IIMI. But you asnwered all :P . Although we didnt interact much at the campus, but I am sure I will keep asking you even more stupid questions and you always reply :P. And ofcourse last year notes and question paper and hell lot of advice you gave me will alwys be der :).

Keep smiling and be always in touch .. Best of luck.. ( My IIM Partner and CBS buddy ) ...MANISHA GOEL

Sonakshi Saini the DB Girl. I had a great opportunity to work with you as part of Finance League. Which i must say i enjoyed a lot. You were quite cool and i had great experience with you. You also gave a lot of advice which was very very useful Hope you achieve great laurels in all your future endeavors. Keep smiling and stay in touch. All the Best. ...GYANESH PHULAMBRIKAR

U r sweet.. u r cute.. and u r awesome!! :) :) the four of us spent some awesome months together and made some beautiful memories.. always stay in touch, and all the very best in everything u do :) :) love sakshi :)...SAKSHI YADAV

Bagla boss!! You have been a great senior right from the days of MNIT. I still remember how we used to bump into your room for help at IIM Indore and you always accommodated us with a smile.:) Thank you for all the help. Stay the same- Jovial, friendly and awesome :) Good luck :) ...NEHA SRIVASTAVA

The bagla, one of the friendliest guys I have ever come across. Came to know him and his (interesting yet irritating :P ) brand of bakar during the eurotrip. An awesome cook ,a mathematics genius and a true blue bania, some of his dialogues and actions from the eurotrip will be difficult to erase from memory (for both good and bad reasons). He is a noob in terms of computer skills but an expert in terms of flirting skills. Some of our best times in the eurotrip were spent planning out the trips and also in gossip and bitching. Will cherish those times and hope you keep in touch after reaching the very top at Jannsen!...

MRIGANK GUTGUTIA

Bagla.. The Baniya wala CR.. one of my first friend in IIM and was there till the end. The first person whom I GPL-ed in IIM I and one of the most helpful guy I have come across in this world of Rat Race. ...... We share stories and magnify joys.. I hope the trend will continue in future.

Bagla can gossip more than Gossip Girls but he is more entertaining than anyone. ..... WIsh you the very best in your future endeavours......

SANKALPA SARKAR

A manager on Red-Bull. You are always high on energy, brain working overtime, churning out ideas and answers at rapid rates! You are really knowledgeable, friendly and focused. I steer clear of you everytime I give a lousy quant paper (read: everytime) because you inevitably get the questions right all the time and when you explain the same to us mere mortals, it seems like revisiting Resnick & Halliday (beyond realms of my comprehension!). I have known you to be very sincere & dedicated & with an accurate knack of knowing how to do things efficiently. You quite clear the checklist of ‘Qualities an efficient manager should possess’. Have a great future! ...MONAMI BAGCHI

bagla bhai....thanks for helping me in adjusting to the tough conditions here. I will always remember the support given by you, and you were a true MNITian to me. I wish you touch some great heights, retain your helping nature, chilled attitude, all the best!!...ARJIT AGARWAL

One of my earliest friends in class at IIM I, he is one of the friendliest persons hereâ?¦he is really fond of talking:)and will keep entertaining youâ?¦really good with numbers and is fun to hang out with..Wish you a great life ahead bro..Keep in touch:) ...ATISHAY KUMAR JAIN

The first person i knew in college through Rishabh. He used to tell me how you were such good friends in school. You have made me join this college. And, you have made me adjust in this college. I remember I said, “ Oh, I hate spiral readings”. You replied, “ abhi se hi?” :p Then, I realized ke hate karne se kuch nai hoga. lol. You have been the sole point of contact for all my queries and you handled them without a grudge, no matter how stupid they were. Thank you for being there :) PS: aap nai hote mere doubts solve karne ke liye, toh maine kab ka college chhod diya hota. :p...

ANKITA NIROLA

Bagla, it was really fun and a great learning experience working with you so ‘closely’! You had an excellent way of always getting the quizzes and the assignments rescheduled or cancelled altogether! I could never really

figure out how you’d get the job done before I could even think of doing it. The Acadcom was really fun with you being there in the first year and you were truly missed in the second year. Partly because we had no one to trouble or make fun of or dump the dirty work on (remember RIP groups!:) ). I’m sure you’ll be really successful in life and I wish you all the best!...ANKITA SATIJA

Baaglaaa... MNIT me bas i knew u as a politician/neta kind of a guy .. got to know u well in IIM Indore .. your incessant talking, your over excitement for little things, your passion for numbers, your abilty to get things done and your presence for friends in need are some of the things that very well define you .. i still remember first year me during the bakra time you spoke continuously for one hour without a break and me and poonam wre just sitting there listening.. just cant figure out where do u get so much enthu for everything from .... i have had some great moments with you and found a good friend in you .. wish you all the happiness and success in life.. all the best.. stay in touch and apni company kholne k baad bhool mat jana :)...SHELLY PAREEK

You have been an integral part of my life at IIM Indore. I have always relied on you for helping me out in any problem I have been in and by solving it in a minute you have made me realise how small our problems are but how big we can make them. Sourabh, I am impressed by your ability to be so enthusiastic, so cheerful and so positive all the time. You are a genius for me & I wish I had 1/10th of the intellect and speed that you have,What I want you to change is your love for sleeping and being punctual all the time. You have taught me to live life happily without any worries and enjoy every moment as it comes.

And yeah I have never said this, but yes you are cute. Stay in touch otherwise I will kill you :P. Cheers to the wonderful times we have spent together. PS: I will always save your number in my phone with the name “CR” :)...AANCHAL GOYAL

Bagla is a happy go lucky kind of a guy.. CR of our class who gets beaten at everyone else’s birthday parties.. the GUY who made all the section parties possible.. if not Marketing i think he would make an excellent career as event planner.. one thing that I learned from him is to always keep laughing.. Best of luck for your future endeavors.. :) ...Parth Kosada

When Sourabhâ??s near you, you can feel his presence. He is un-

doubtedly the most hyperactive guy of our batch. This guy always seems energetic irrespective of what time for the day it is. A deft salesman â?? heâ??s the one who sold me student exchange â?? this guy can just sell anything and everything. Sales and FMCG runs in his blood â?? he awed the Alpenliebe guys with his deep knowledge of fmcg sales. Thereâ??s never a dull moment when heâ??s around. The stories he tells and the enthusiasm he packs in makes time fly. You can go on teasing him but he never really takes those seriously. An able researcher and planner, he is an encyclopedia with hands and feet. Whatever he has achieved that has been through his hard work and single minded focus. All the best for your future and always keep smiling! ...PARTHA PRATIM PANDA

I have not seen any guy as high on energy as you... I still remember those first year days where you were too lazy to work (never came for assignments :P barring QT assignments which u did urself), known in the class as the guy who was concerned about “depreciation”, “the most evident fresher of the class” (since u kept jumping for everything :P) and the list continues.... But truly speaking, its hard to find someone who has been so genuine, a “well-wisher”, always available for help. The credit for bringing Section B together goes to you (I understand how difficult it has been to organize our class parties).... With the quantitative and analytical abilities you possess (which I certainly envy (:P) and appreciate), you give the perfect image of a “BUSINESSMAN”.... Hope to see you as one few years down the line... Wishing you the best for future. Keep in touch. Cheers! :)...VIBHUTI AGARWAL

Bagla, the CR of our section. High on CP, high on energy, high on life.

Like God made him to be permanently high. One of the nicest people on campus, always helpful and always jumpy and restless. Sometimes I wonder how he packs so much energy in that small frame of his. Will always remember he quotes on depreciation and ITC’s tree. Never really got an opportunity to know you better, I’m sure we’d have hit off big time. You’re the true MBA, knowledgeable in topics with a shrewd mind to go with it.

All the best for your future, stay in touch! :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Bagla ! We have had so much fun together in Acadcom. Whenever I meet you, you are always in a hyperexcited mode always rushing somewhere :P A lot of fun has been made about how I say “ BAGLA” but I am still going to keep saying it that way. Its fun :P Tallking and joking with you can brighten up anyone’s day because of the insane amount of energy you always have. Always stay this way :)...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Sourabh Bagla... the synonym for Fun, Energy, Excitement, Zing, Madness.. a biggest endorser of ‘Live to the fullest’ :) We have had some great time together; working, partying and making fun of other AcadCom members (be it peers or seniors ;)). One thing that I admire you for is the manner in which you take the jokes that are cracked on you..I have pulled your leg on numerous occasions but not even once you have retaliated, moreover, you have smiled and enjoyed those moments. You can easily suck the sadness from a person and make him smile whenever you want. :D I wish you all the success for your future endeavours! You are a great person and fun to be with! Stay the way you are and be in touch! :)...PRAKARSH AREN

U are very fun loving as well as the most comforting person when it comes to work with you...I always feel I can talk to u and can have solution as u were always so helping and was understanding the situation...it was always nice time working with you and the way u supported me...Thnx a lot for your faith in me....I wish u enjoy your life to the fullest and achieve all u want in your life :) Have a wonderful life... and of course we will be in contact :)...PAYAL YADAV

Bagla ur the one person who can shut me up and talk for hours...i don’t think our chats have ever been less than an hour...u r an absolute fun loving person and ever ready to party! The first time I met you was while waiting for Laavanya interviews..ur markeitng knowledge left me impressed! It has been a great time working with you...you bring that sense of urgency and passion which I really admire...I truly believe ladka exchange nahi gaya hota to you would be the coordinator-one of the most hardworking, talkative guys I have come across-people tend to misread you biut u have a really good heart! M sure ur gonna have a great life and that whenever we meet the years wont matter we will always have something to talk about. ...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

You are one of the most helpful people I know here, always happy to help with a smile :) :) Thank you for making the first few months here a lot easier. Keep Smiling and continue being awesome :) Best wishes for your career ahead! Keep in touch :)...ANIMA SHARMA

Baglaaa...he’s the panacea..whatever problem you have..bagla has the cure..:) You have helped me whenever I asked for.. ‘Best at Friendship Award’ winner in my eyes..You are a blend of kindness and madness..:P I first met you at PT Jaipur on the day when our CAT result came out..I was wondering who is this guy dressed in formal suit.and then I got to know that he is the topper..:) with a cute smile on his face and very happy..:) You made me realise that this is such a great day..hehehe..and then we came together to IIM-I and I was very happy that atleast I know well a person here..:) thanx yaarr..:) Bagla is fun loving, caring and super cute..:) undoubtedly genius and has a strong command over numbers.. and now one more feather in your cap- ‘kya ramp walk karta hai yaar!!’ :) Wishing you great success ahead which you will definitely achieve.. and just telling you that I will always need you..:) So stay in touch.. :P ...NIKITA SHARMA

Baglaaaa!! Got to know this party freak through Laavanya and I am so glad for that. Absolutely chilled out guy, always excited for every thing...I dont think there is any other guy at campus with so much energy! Me and panda used to discuss how you’re so excited for everything while we were planning for exchange. The more I knew you,The more I grew fond of you!.You have a super charming personality-fit for Laavanya hehe and an amazingly friendly demeanour. I shall always remember exchange pe our small meetings when you made fun of me for staying in Paris all the time :P Working for Laavanya till late nights, puting those lights and handling things at last moment, etc etc...you have always helped me out and made me comfortable in the team. Thanks for being so cool!! Keep smiling..wish you a lot of success in life :)...PALAK MAHANOT

Bagla, I have teased you a lot during these 2 years. Thanks for taking it in a positive way. Agar positively nahi lete, to aur chidhate :P You are a gr8 sales man and can sale anything to anyone. Very gud at heart, a gr8 motivator and always like to coach people. It is hard to forget the moment,

when u kicked Panda on his bday(Pankaj and I have enjoyed it a lot).

Keep your spirit up and B in touch.....VIKASH KUMAR

Baglaa... it has been so much fun pulling your leg and you being such a sport every time we met. There are so many memories of four of us which I will always remember, all the birthday treats, and the section parties. I never imagined one could talk so much (for hours) with so much enthusiasm about the smallest of things before meeting you.

You are always filled with so much energy and positivity (tu konsi chakki ka ata khata hai ? :P) .You have always been there whenever You really have a knack for doing business, I can already see a bright future ahead for you. Wishing you lots of success and happiness in life! Cheers :)...POONAM VERMA

Our nautanki CR of Section-B who is a complete sport, extremely jovial and fun loving! From having those crazy outings to all the bakar during RIP to random catching up in the mess.. His stories are as crazy and vibrant as his personality! This guy free rode in all possible assignments during term-3 but when it came to marketing simulations, he was the proactive one and ever charged up.. brilliant with numbers, he’s a complete fit for sales. I’m sure he’ll do wonders in his career..

All the best Bagla ji.. See you in the field ;) Keep in touch!...NEHA KANWAL Bagla..u have been a great friend and a great guide...really admire you for all the help and advice...have always seen you high on life especially during times when you narrate your experiences of Europe...work hard and party harder...all the best.

Hi Sumit, We have hardly interacted for the most part of the two years of MBA, however, your hardwork and dedication towards E-Cell and JAM could hardly be missed. The last few days, it has been great knowing your plans for JAM expansion and would really like to appreciate the amount of thought that you and Aditya have put for this venture. It has been a pleasure witnessing the transformation of JAM and to know that the ‘More’ part of the name is really growing bigger.

Wish you all the best for all your endeavors and am sure with your perseverance you would definitely succeed. Ruchik Gandhi ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

good guy ...fondly named lalaji for being so conservative about spending :P ..if an argument starts , i dont think he can loose.. being right or worng is completly out of context here :D....but a very helpful guy.... kaafi aa ge jaega because of his skills....still remember the jokes at HOP ...n how you chose away from ur group and joined ours...stay close to ur friends and keep in the network coz of the girls around u.. i think we might loose you easlily :D..haha...good luck......AKHIL DATTANA

Sumit .. one of the most genuine people in IIM Indore , the transformation of JAM speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication you put into everything where your heart lies .. a very good friend.. got to know you well during RIP what a mastikhor u are ( remember the time when the five of us went for a walk and you wanted to steal that bulb :P) and i am glad that we were in the same group in third term .. found a very good friend in you who is always there whenever i need him .. jab bhi indore jana hota h d first person that comes to my mind is u.. know eveything about indore .. wish you all the happiness and success

in life.. i am sure you would achieve great heights in your life .. do keep in touch :)...SHELLY PAREEK

Swarnkar.. as the name defines..Sumit has a heart of gold.. I got to know him during the RIP and was shocked to look at his patient behavior always.. Whatever may be the situation he is always calm and peaceful..

Got to know you more through Shelly.. and then more by some small chats over facebook.. You are sometimes shy but always have that tiny smile on your face..:) Found a good friend in you who is always there to help out his friends.. whether you want to know about Indore or need any personal help- like the maggi dinner at JAM.. Sumit is always there..:) I am glad to have you in my life..:) Wishing you a great future and sparkling life ahead..:) stay in touch..:)...NIKITA SHARMA

I have a lot to tell about this guy, i forgot how we came to know each other, but over these two years, we have spent such nice times together that we ended up becoming very good friends. My gym partner, with whom i used to devise weight reduction strategies. A guy who is as footloose as I am, ever ready to go on trips. I will miss those moments when we used to discuss business ideas while jogging. He is the external CulComer who gave CulCom a lot of support despite not being a member. A very passionate guy who literally changed JAM. A true entrepreneur in the making. Wish to stay in touch. All the best for your future!! ...SENAJIT CHAKI

Lalaji to the core.. I came to know you properly extremely late.. Till almost

3 rd term, you were just a nice guy in the next room who was the only other .. But then I guess when I got to know about your involvement with JAM I thought it would be a good idea to discuss a few suggestions I had about the place.. And before we knew it we were making an extensive plan to completely revamp JAM.. I often wonder what the hell will he do if he is not working for JAM, not collecting and counting money, admiring the IPMs & PGPs while they give orders and purposely fast tracking a few ‘special’ orders for the few ‘special’ female clients.. But amazingly, even after so much flirting, this guy might still not do anything inappropriate.. He is stubborn as hell, he is political and he is highly opinionated which makes him resemble Kejriwal in many traits. Prolonged interaction could also make you feel that he is like Rahul Gandhi.. So my advice, when you meet this guy, just don’t get him started on politics or cricket and there is a high probability that you might become quite fond of him.. His commitment towards his friends is on a different level and when helping them, he rarely thinks about implications.. And much refined are his relationship building skills. I have seen many who literally praise him day in and day out..

I hope you find a girl who keeps you in control.. You are passionate and mentally quite strong.. So I know you will do well.. And hopefully JAM will too.. Hopefully we will keep in touch..Till the next time we meet, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

We have been neighbours for two years. Although we have interacted only in corridors and that too for brief periods but I always found you calm, composed and ever smiling. The work you put in for JAM is commendable. I am sure the next team will do justice to your efforts and vision. I am also equally moved by the way you go out of the way to help people. Hope we meet soon again. Till then, Wish you good luck and hope you become a great entrepreneur very soon....ARCHIT JAIN

NI ATHU B A R SU V PALLA

We have known each other since Class IV, I think....one of my closest buddies at school. Apart from being a brilliant student, Pallav epitomized innocence and goodness at school....the mad scientist we called him sometimes! The guy did quite well for himself by getting into an IIT....then I kept hearing stories ki ladka puri tarah bigad gaya hai. So when I came to know that we are going to be batch-mates at IIM-I again, apart from being excited, I was also very curious to know what had become of him. Well, he may not be the very innocent Pallav of school, but he’s still very genuine and nice at heart. And what’s more, he’s managed to land up a job in a top Investment Banking firm.....We may be hanging out with different friend groups on campus but we know that we wish well for each other and would be by each other’s side if need be. Wish you all the success in life, bro....Stay in touch :)...

RUDRASHIS ROY

Bro. I’m not sure what to write here cause we’re going to be living together in all probability. Nevertheless, I’ll give it a try. You’re one of the first people I met on campus and I’m glad I did. We’ve come a long way from the W7 days but we still hang out like always. I think that’s awesome. You’re a rare mix of fun loving while being career minded and that’s something very few people can boast of. You also have age on your side, a fact I’m very jealous of. Despite all the money you’re going to make as an investment banker, I can totally see you quitting to travel the world and start your own thing ( and succeeding).

Whatever happens from now I’m sure things between us will remain the same. From a more short term perspective, let’s rock Mumbai....

ADITYA BALARAMAN

Okay, so I have told this to you a zillion times and let me start with this. Pallav as per me is THE most intelligent guy in our batch, at least amongst the many people I know or have interacted with. I always keep telling him how he wasted himself in MBA and rather should have utilized those brains in some research or MS. Also, I must say that Exchange program was one of the best things I experienced on campus, and well why should I write it here? Reason: Had you not helped me in the Microeconomics Midterm (4 credits 30% weightage) where using one of your cool techniques we cheated almost the entire exam and I ended up with an A :P, I probably would not have had the requisite CG to go to France (me being the last few to sneak in mainland Europe), so that tells a lot about how your help affected me so much, and in a positive way. And that apart, in general I really like his cool ideas about how things should be. Has many fun stories to share with always, a guy who can easily fit into any friend circle. Quite a practical person within, certainly would be the Chanakya of modern times with those strategic thoughts of his :P Have fun Pallu, and keep in touch :)...ISHAN BOSE

I became friends with you when we were put in the same group in term 1.

Our friendship has only grown since then. Amazing brain this person has.

Always used to sleep in class and study during the night ..that typical characteristics which you will find in an IIT guy. Had lot of fun in term 3 when we used to play cards in the class or that one trip to Balle Balle with Ashish :D and that one trip to your place during exchange ! :D If he decides to do something, he is so dedicated that will not get over with it until it gets over!! (CFA level 2, and the preparations you did for final placements!! :) ) A very cool person to hang out with..hope we would have had more parties together.. People like you will surely succeed in whatever work you do because of your excellent iQ and wittiness. Just stay as you are.. cheers! :)...RAHUL YADAV

Pallu is one person I really admire, but I exactly don’t know the reason.

Probably there are way too many reasons to admire this guy. He’s Sheldon Cooper of our group. Mostly you’ll find him starting the conversation with, ‘Achha Chal ye bataâ??, followed by some ungodly question, which surely will stump you out of your wits. He studies like hell, parties like crazy and just enjoys life to the fullest. He has a never ending repository of stories, stories which will make you hold your stomach or else youâ??ll die laughing. Heâ??s indeed an extremely cool person and a master of all witty comments. Iâ??m sure Pallu, one day you will own world renowned investment firm named Surabathuni & Co. :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Pallu! Man, I am completely envious of the fact that you can chill out more than anyone else here and then get into work mode and still do better than anyone else there also. I will never forget all those sessions of studying MAC-I and MAC-II together. I liked those subjects only because of your company. We’ve had loads of fun, especially at Kalpita. I hope that I will learn to use the controller soon enough so that we can play countless hours of FIFA in our new “bropad” in Mumbai! I’ll bring a lot of saffola museli to the parties ;) here’s to a successful career as an investment banker; I’m sure you won’t need any luck, you will make your own! See you in Mumbai! We have a much overdue Joey’s pizza and countless pending meals at Imbiss! We need to give that guy enough money so that he can make his shop bigger :D ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

You are one of my most cherished friends. You have a heart of gold and I feel lucky to have you as my best friend. I can effortlessly share just about anything with you. Whether I am bored or stressed or happy about something, you are the first person I talk to. In short I love doing “bakchodi” with you :P. You have always stood by my and supported me when I have been frustrated about something or have been going through a difficult phase in life. I dont think words can express this well, but I want you to know I truly value your friendship and hope that it continues forever. The time spent together on exchange with you were some of the best days of my life and I will always cherish them.

Also I think I am the only person who knows how emotional a person you are beneath that exterior :P Always stay this way :) ...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Pallav .. The never ending bakar sessions with Dalvi, shopfloor visits, lunches ending up in Trance for the marathons - It was all fun with you being thr. You are one of the most fun-loving person I met on campus and all the time spent stands testimony to that fact. I rembr ur amazing knowledge about mechanical engineering and cars :) Your god-level intelligence with the perfect cool demeanour makes for a perfect person to hang around with. Looking forward to more such discussion in future. ...MAYANK JAIN

If Pallav puts his mind and effort to something he likes,(esp acads) there are few on campus who can match what he can achieve, forget beating him.I think volumes have been spoken about Pallav’s intellectual capacity and capability.To me, Pallav comes across as extremely

chill yet very intense.(in his thought process and his emotions) I generally don’t use the word “Bro’ but Pallav is definitely one in every sense of the term (If you know what I mean :P) The post summers period is something I’ll always remember -- coolly this guy will come drink with us and go for an interview the next day.If anyone deserved DB it was you.Plenty of good times ahead.Mumbai mein dekha jayega :) PS. Pallav your dinner and hookah table questions are just awesome :))...HARSHVARDHAN V

Pallu, I have never seen a deadly combination of brain and wit like the one you have. You imbibe your concepts so much so that you crack your jokes based on those concepts. I laugh the hardest on your jokes(provided I understand them and there’s not too much fin concept involved :P). I still remember your Ujjain’s GDP spike because of our RIP joke. I have been a fan of your intellectual humour ever since. One of the best booze sessions I have had was with you when two of us, in your words had booze ‘amiro ki tarah’. I , also, like the foodie in you and how you take your food seriously. Whenever we go out and try something new, you would give it time, analyse it properly and give your expert comments on it. The cocktails that we made that day were superb owing to your superb sense of taste. :D I am in total awe of your innumerable IIT stories and theory making capabilities considering you have a theory on almost all random topics.

Yes, I love blasting your chauvinist theories even if you say that its for the benefit of the girls and will continue to do so forever. :P You are one of the most genuine and down to earth people I have come across and I really like spending time with you, listening to your stories, theories and blasting them too. :D Owing to the grasp you have on your concepts, I know you are already on your to become a Wolf of Wall or may be Dalal Street. :P Just stay the way you are and I am looking forward to partying with you in Mumbai and beyond, this time truly like an amir because I know you will be a really hot shot banker and a great one at that. :D ...SWATI VERMA

Pallav, apparently you were the first person here who became my friend.. to be specific, my “chat friend”. You are really a nice guy. The way you used to motivate me in first term was impressive. The thing I regret not doing with you is drinking :P :P We couldn’t get proper time but hopefully will do some day in future :) I still remember your dream of “VERTIGO” and wish you all the best for that. I am sure you will get whatever you want in your life.. Stay in touch always :)...payal anand

Pallav Inspite of being in the same section we became friends recently thanks to Euro trip. It was good to know that you have so much interest in

Architecture, history and had your fun facts all the while in every trip we were together. I guess I will always remember the night we got drunk in Milan and great things which you wanted to do post that. But it has always been fun drinking with you and I hope we will many more such sessions. Cheers!!...Variksh Thaker

Youâ??re a bomb waiting to explode with random ideas. I love the randomness, the eccentricity about you. Youâ??re also a very caring person. Youâ??re receptive and perceptive and understand things that most people do not. Youâ??re also a whizkid. You very patiently taught me SAPM and took up all my silly doubts too. To watch you learn and teach is a joy for me! There is never a dull moment with you.

There are so many sweet memories that our group made in your SR11 room partying till the wee hours of morning. Youâ??re the heart and soul of our group here. I’m really glad you made the job you wanted Pallu. You deserve every bit of it. And boy was I happy for you (still am) on that fateful Day 0. You were placed even before I woke up that morning! I’m always going to think of you fondly. Pallav, I simply adore you. Love...ANKITA SATIJA

Pallu, I have to say this. You are one of a kind; the kind that really appeals to people who are too complicated for your limited social cognitive abilities to understand. ;) I thoroughly enjoy your weird musings, hypotheses and fantasies (The number of times youâ??ve tried to get me and Satija to do things! :O). I love how you have the most interesting anecdotes to share that relate to every random incident and situation we encounter. Thanks to your enthusiasm for things like cow tipping, I knew exactly whom to approach when I wanted company for Kamatipura. :P And as expected, you didnâ??t disappoint. That is one night Iâ??ll always remember you by. You are definitely going to get more such calls from me, and you are expected to oblige by default.

Itâ??s extremely commendable and inspiring how youâ??ve worked your way to the top over these two years, and youâ??ve rightfully earned all that has come your way. In addition to being the braniac that you are, I think youâ??re a great human being and an even better friend. People can always count on you to have their back. You deserve every bit of the success that is bound to come your way. Looking forward to many more years of fun social experiments and being partners in crime. ...KAVYA AMARNATH

If he asks you a question, you politely refuse to answer it. Because if

you do, youâ??re opening a Pandoraâ??s box while dropping a kulhaadi on your feet. Pallav urf Pallu, his insatiable thirst for answers to social questions and his social experiments have wreaked such havoc in the last 2 years! I hold you and Paras solely responsible for Alibag! 6.30 baje beach chalengay! Jaan le li bachhe ki! Getting a little serious, I believe Pallav is a lot like me. Emotional fellow, SRK fan, but his social awkwardness actually saves him from a lot of grief that I have to suffer! Iâ??ve always thought of him as a kid brother, and he is the glue that has kept our dysfunctional family together! It was his room that was the adda for all parties in the first year. And it was his very room that I got positively drunk for the first time, later to be found lying around in Paataal! Remember screaming out SRK ke songs in his room after the partiesâ?¦ Always the nice guy, some of the theories and philosophies he comes up with are hilarious! Iâ??ve never seen or heard of him being mean to anyone, even the most annoying of creatures on campus. Thatâ??s a quality worth having Palluâ?¦ Not many can suffer idiots quietly. :P I remember the exchange times, Barcelona, the yacht, Pub Crawl in Prague, Aan-do-shots, and most of all OKTOBERFEST! Some amazing times! :D Having been in his class for an year, known him for 2, and worked with him on a project, I know for a fact that hes headed towards massive success. His focus is legendary as is known from stories of him waking up and picking up the books without wasting any time! One of the best financial minds on campus, when he comes down to bakchodi, his ideas will easily trump all us marketers here! :P Saahab already I-banker ban chukay hain, and heâ??s just getting started. Itâ??s been awesome being friends with you bro. Cheers to the best of times spent together, and to the more to come in Goa and beyond!

Enjoy! :)...PARTH KAPOOR

Pallu! I’ve got to admit, I realized that you existed only after our 10D party :D Though a bit late, I’m glad I got to know you, and how! ;) Within a day of dancing the night away, you became my very publicly smitten fan :D Talking to you is a breath of fresh air..of the very few times that we’ve spent time together, I can’t remember a single dull moment that I had.

The night before you left for exchange was totally fun! The broken bed will always be a witness to the fun we had (I know it sounds quite wrong but you get the point :D) Wish I had more time to get to know you better. Stay the jovial, bindaas guy that you are and hope we stay in touch.

And let me know when you replace me as your muse :D Wish you all the success, happiness and fun that life brings you. Take care and be well :) ...ZONOBIA SAFAR

Pallu.. where to start â?? mujhe toh koi algo run karna bhi nahi aata :P Still remember when u tried teaching Bhoomi and me quant subjects..and how for u every subject would need 1/10th of an average learnerâ??s time, how u would find a logical reasoning for the simplest of lines written in the text. You are among the very few true engg students and u manage to excel in fin, economics and what not. Your bachpan ki kahaaniyan (running away from school, kitty party experiences), cab drivers ke saath dosti, balaji chips ke liye pyaar, new yearâ??s at Aligarh, ur chauvinistic comments.. and most interesting; your philosophies and theories on anything and everything under the sun! Will miss hearing all these the most. You are one heck of an emotional person though you would rarely share your troubles and rather just close yourself up in ur shell. But for your friends you are always there. One of the most admirable thing is your concern for people especially those close to u. And yes, needless to say one strongly etched memory would be our JBIMS victory! Man, the only competition we managed to crack but it was so much fun to work with you two. Work + Random Videos + Bakar + Food + my short naps in ur room :P and then finally our Mumbai trip. The trips together at exchange are among my favourites..the match in Spain, the yacht, the pub crawl or the crazy Oktoberfest. Wish to have many such times ahead. As far as professional success is concerned, ur BAT scores, CFA results and placement proves it all.. You are bound to succeed as an Investment Banker Pallu.. Wishing you good luck for all the things in life... hope to be good friends always :) ...NEHA KANWAL

If I were to describe you in one word, it definitely has to be Eestuddddd. We can claim to be the founding fathers of the group (or as Parth says â??One big joint dysfunctional familyâ??). You are one of the most respected and likeable person on campus. I donâ??t remember anyone badmouthing you ever. Youâ??ve got the ability to bring smile to everyoneâ??s face even in case of high tension situations. You operate in extremes. Going on exchange with you was one of the best decisions that I had taken in IIM Indore. I still remember fighting with Archit in my I block room so that we could all go together. Well, with your IQ of 200+ and your skills, youâ??ll excel in DB. In fact, not just DB, I see you in the front end of IBD running those multimillion dollars deals. I am glad to have been in your company. We were indeed always together: Section daaru sessions, and even Mumbai grp alcove outing :p I am sure your bro-pad will be one of the most happening places in Mumbai. And that I ll crash there almost every weekend. So

lots of more scandals to run. Underneath all this studness, you are an extremely caring friend. I am lucky to have you as my best friend because I am sure youâ??ll always be there for me. I am not very expressive about our friendship. But I hope that you know how important it is to me. You are a Bro ! ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

A Chinese proverb goes as “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. In our case I think it was the exchange in Reims, France. Despite vehement and vitriolic (I have used very mild words here :P) protest I chose Reims and am truly glad to meet you. The Eurovaganza was a great experience. Be it waiting in Roma and literally getting mugged, discussions on architecture, thermodynamics, being your first contact in Favourites (Something I hope I will be able to replicate ;)), cooking food, pulling off an all nighter with Slovenian Vodka, swimming in Mediterranean and trying to defy Archimedes, perennially postponing planning, incessant leg pulling with those sarcastic remarks et al. it was truly an exhilarating experience. Those never ending conversations in 609 at Gerard Philipe are all worth treasuring and would be sorely missed. Back here at IIM Indore it was wonderful preparing with you for Finals and really happy you got into DB, something you truly deserved. Looking back I believe going to Reims was the second best decision I took during my stay at IIM Indore (You know the first one :P). I hope our paths cross again very soon. Till then wish you good luck for the many journeys of still left. Bon Voyage!...

ARCHIT JAIN

LIT AY LA M N A T E TAPAS

A poet, a writer, an intellectual and someone who is intentionally immature. This guy can do so many random things and still remain to stay sane for most of the part. Sad that I didnâ??t have much interaction with you in the first year (saved me some money for sure:-P, because most of your conversations start with- abe aaj raat ko bahar chalega). I donâ??t know anyone other than you who has written a very long mail to a certain faculty and neither do I know anyone who fears of getting an F after bunking just 2 lectures in a 4-credit course:-P Funny things apart, you are a great friend who has the ability to speculate widely and create gossips, which I enjoy of course. I donâ??t know of anyone else has said this, but- Tanno, tu dil se achcha hai:-). You are like a kid who refuses to grow up and thatâ??s why I can draw so many parallel between you and Joey of FRIENDS As it seems like you would want to go to Hyderabad Deloitte instead of Mumbai and given the fact that you are currently bothering me so much for Phuket tickets, I am going to cut it short here. Hope people flood your wall with testimonials and tere 1750 rs poore vasul ho jaye :-P ....GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL

Tanno! I would like to start with an apology for all the not-so-gentle ABCs I have directed at you..but you also know am very good at heart so lets call it even :D Back in first year i thot you are one quiet and smart last bencher who does good CP :) But now I know you are a sincere, studious, creative, complex, intelligent, energetic, sensitive, sweet(:P..muhaha) fellow wondering what to do with all the above qualities :P But whatever it is you decide to do, am sure you will be awesome at it :D I really appreciate all my mistakes you have pointed, putting up with my random barbs, trying your best not to be “awkward & shy” around people and ofcourse for being fun while not sulking/ lis-

tening to random music :P..I look forward to a mention of my name in the “acknowledgement” section of your future anthology :D please english translation bhi karde :P Chalo all the best :) - H...ROHINI H

A Very Creative Person. Poet, Quizzer, Intellectual. I remember speaking so many things with you in the first year. You are someone with whom I could share craziest of my dreams. I so badly wish you quit the job and do something crazy. May be write lyrics for a Imitiaz Ali Movie or Direct a blockbuster yourself. Believe me you will be very successful. I loved the way you smiled both when you were happy as well as angry with me. Its sad that we did not talk much in the second year. All the best yaar. Will never forget those great quizzing moments with you. Stay in touch..!! :) ...SUMANTH J

Most childlike person in campus who refuses to grow up! Most admirable thing about you is that you are well read and have a very strong opinion about everything. When in mood, you can go on and on about a topic. But what is more fun is to listen to your random self-made theories! Very creative I must say! :P What makes you so distinguished is how sensitive you are, would get angry and sulk in quite with your earphones :D . All in all, you are a cheerful person (which comes out after few shots), fun loving, shy, emotional and a good friend. All the best, I am sure you will make it big :)...SONICA GUPTA

I didn’t know you before Cummins happened and we bonded over our eternal hatred for Cummins over the period of two months. You also saved me from boredom in Pune (whenever you visited). Those long chats I had with you over texts and in person actually made me realise what I really want in life (which at that time was anything but Cummins :P). I still remember meeting you for dinner near my PG and we were having a serious talk about career in HR. The fact that you were considering it seriously still amazes me. :P. All in all, I really enjoyed those conversations with you and you were one of the few good things to have happened to me due to Cummins. :) Wish you all the best for your future endeavours (HR or non HR :P) and you better stay in touch. :) ...SWATI VERMA

If Tanmay and I were left to rule the world together, we would probably create a state of anarchy not witnessed before. We both are reluctant adults who find in our mischief, an unending source of inspiration that can border on mindless. That is what made our time together special and unlike any other friendship. That said, Tanmay’s intelligence borders on

ingenuity. He is one of those people, if left to fulfill his potential, will go out and make a difference in the best possible way. And, that is an understatement. ...SYED ERAJ HASSAN

The tough negotiator and the hard bargainer that he is, he’ll make sure you are out of your wits in a discussion! Looking back, as I recollect our HRM negotiation, it was indeed one of the most amusing negotiations I have had. :P I cannot thank you enough for having insisted on going to KK summit. You, too, share a passion for travelling and exploring new places. I still remember our avid discussion about Sikkim during summers and the lovely poems you shared during RIP. I wish we could see more of you in 2nd year but whenever we did meet, it was always cherished! I admire the level of commitment, integrity and passion you put in your work. You are sure to soar up in your career.

Wish you the best for your future endeavours!...Sneha Tyagi

Of our relatively few interactions, the one I will cherish the most is our HOP trip when we had numerous fun moments together - the quarrels about washing the plates, the whining about carrying the bags, and what not! You have a great taste in music and are totaly multitalented -poetry, quizzing - to name a few, but I have hardly heard you talk about yourself. I hope to know you better in the coming years.

The dedication with which you pursue the tasks you undertake is truly commendable. One thing which I admire about you the most is that you start most of your sentences with a smile, which is really impressive. I wish you many successes in future, and whatever else you desire in life! :)...RAJNI RANJAN

You are one of the first friends I made on this campus and also one of the best ones. Honestly, I’ve always found you a bit hatke... every day you had something new to crib about.... every week you had a new couple to talk about... and every month you had a new crush ... :P... Whenever I talk about the sharpest people I have known on this campus, you are always there at the top of the list... I had a great time during our in-class discussions on absolutely random topics.... just stay as frank and honest as you have always been and try to do your poetry more often.... u are one person who doesn’t need words to convey what you want to, because your expressions always speak for you... “ tu na kahe ek lafz magar sab keh jaati hai teri Khamoshi :P :P” ... I hope you have a wonderful life ahead.... stay in touch hamesha.... :)...SHUBHAM SAINI

Tannu/TTL you are most nicest person I’ve ever met in my life (this includes people outside the campus as well :)). There has never been a time when I’ve heard anything bad about anyone from you and this is one thing I’ve always tried to learn from you. You have been an integral part of our placement committee. Whenever 13 of us are tense about something, you are the only one who stands apart to support us all and calm us down. We have had some fun times in the placement office. I hope we stay in touch always. All the best for your career, may you reach great heights \m/...

SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Tanno meri Dhanno, Mala tujhawar prem aahe :P:D You are one of few people with whom I can totally be myself. You are such a fun person to be with. I love imitating you-Fuck Bey etc. I will really really miss doing completely silly things with you in Placement office be it my attempt at leaning Marathi, listening to your exaggerated versions of stories on campus, your one liners on the white board, your crushes on campus, love life (hehehe) etc. But then there is another side to you which I have found in very few people- your ability to not take things to your heart and being forthright about what you think. I always remember you being very proactive in the meetings, bringing new perspective and always trying to keep the atmosphere amicable. I look forward to keeping in touch with you in Mumbai and continuing the fun times together. good luck in life :)...

SONAKSHI BEHL

Tannu, I can say you’re the most chilled out person of our placom. I don’t remember any incident where you lost your temper, even in the most difficult situations we faced. I think that is what a mature professional is. You have a terrific smile and that is one thing that just keeps the environment light in the office. But nevertheless, I have always found your opinions very interesting. They have always been very people-centric and aimed towards the betterment of the institute. Your tremendous knowledge on various topics always impresses me. You’re a true sport and always took my pot-shots at you in a good sense. I just love making fun of your choice of words, remember â??Auratâ??. :P I wish you all the best for your career at Deloitte and I’m sure you’re going to rock always! Always keep in touch! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Tanmay is one of the best person i have ever met in my life.. always bubbling with enthu and energy. i can’t forget the days when we used to work in placom ofc sitting next to each other and gossiping about the whole world :P there is no topic which one cannot talk about with tanmay.. apart

from work, i had a very good time knowing you as a person you esp in pune during the internship.. and yeah that day when we randomly went out for a quiz competition and ended the day watching Grand Masti!!! One honest suggestion, do get some good clothes to work.. want you to look as a good person just like the way you’re from inside :P and one final word - yes, money matters!!! All the Best dude for your job & future life :) :) ...SIMPSON SELWYN

Tanmay, you are one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent persons I know of and yet so confused. You are also the worst friends to have in the placement committee-no insider info whatsoever :p I still remember the first section party where we both were talking as if we are relationship experts under the influence of alcohol ofcourse and that’s how I got to know you! Or maybe not-our first interaction was of you telling something about the avatars of vishnu i think-bizarre it was and I was like waah! What a religious guy! and the next time, alcohol happened..haha. Didn’t see much of you in the second year but I know that we will stay in touch outside campus. You are one of the few people I actually am glad that I could be a friend of and hope it remains that way! ( the sentence is not framed properly but bhavnaao ko samajh lena) Wish you all the best and hope you sort things out in your head soon :D ...KUSHAL JAJOO

Tanmay is one of the most interesting people I know in the campus.

He is somebody I am keen to see what he would finally end up doing.

I have seen his interests change from Operations to Finance to Gen Management to HR to PhD to Sales and Marketing and its interesting to see he will be finally working at a Consulting firm. We were more closer in the first year than in the second year, but still have many good memories as Tanmay is always unique in whatever he says or does :) ...Deepak Talluri

The more he speaks, the less he speaks. No really, he doesn’t speak much. But that’s not saying he’s boring. In fact, Tanmay is one of the most interesting people I met on campus. I’ve never seen him without a smile in the last 2 years. That’s quite an achievement I’d say. Never short of ideas, never short of creativity, he’s one person you should have in your team. Had a lot of fun working with you in Utsaha. All the best for your life as a consultant :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

One of the few MH friends in Placom~ (though I did get to know this

quite late!). You have been a great mentor all along and it has always been a pleasure interacting with you. Wish you all the very best! :)...PIYUSHA DANI Though i dint get much of a chance to interact with you, you are chilled out & sweet to interact. You corrected me at times (with patience!) & thanks for all the advice & help.. All the best for your future.. Keep smiling:):)...

MUNNANGI SREE MEGHANA

Quizzer & poet..an eclectic combination that defines you. I know you as the smiling guy who can argue at the helm at one moment, and turn shy at another! Your penchant for sharing knowledge & trivia is amazing. Always keep smiling..it lights up your face :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

You are one of the most chilled out and sweetest persons i know. You took the initiative to interact. Gave advice apne aaap :P and offered help when you felt it was needed. A big thanks for all the above :D. Though i got to know you late, you have been more of a friend than a mentor :).

All the best for Deloitte!! A lot of parties coming your way and a lot more work too :P. Keep in touch :)...SUNITA MISHRA

Tanmay - Met him only in 2nd year through Placom. Within a very short period of time his company was indispensable and I knew I had a friend for life. Very irritating guy, either comes across frustrated or with a smile.

You cannot see him any other way. Very nice guy on the inside, emotional fool, values friendship like no other. Always had a tough time driving him out of my room whenever he came for incessant gossip, mesmerizing music and of course a bottle of water :P. Times we spent together gossiping sharing stuff is something I’ll miss a lot. And yes, sorry tanmay I have to mention this, he’s a miser :P. Only lately has he realized there are better things he can trade it for :). He’s got so many niceties I can go on and on. You keep that smile always on you man. Hope we get to work together again soon :):)...Sanjay Yelisetti

Tapase is down to earth (you can judge by his choice of shirts :P ) and gleeful person. It’s hilarious to see him worried at times about the minutest of things. Loves to sing and listen to bollywood songs. occasional quizzer - knows A-Z of bollywood...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

TTL, the live wire of our team!! I have many fond memories of our glorious friendship over last 2 tears. ‘phir se udd chala’ still rings in my head

everytime i see you da dei. And how can someone forget your trademark f**k be!! Tapase, you are among the few smartasses I know on campus. Be it topping in acads, arbit hr CPs, poetry, trivia, bhakchodi or anything, you hav always been a standout performer. Personally, i have loved each and every poetry of yours. Sitting with you in class has been so much fun, though there were times when i hated you for the repetitive irritation you caused :P. You are a typical last bench stud, who is attentive in class, a chatterbox, a mischievous student and an intelligent guy mouleded in a single person. I had doubted if you would be a misfit in the team. But there you were, putting in so much efforts, contributing in every possible manner yet maintaining your academic records, proving me wrong right away. You cooled the temper of our team whenever needed. It was great knowing you and working with you. Atb man. Deloitte is a fitting start to you. I would be dejected if you don’t achieve greater heights. And yea, send me the poem you wrote on me :-P ...RAHUL S

Tanmay, you are one of the smartest persons I know. Just sitting in the room with you and Eraj discussing national issues was an enlightening experience for me. But the rapidness with which you change from this smart and shy individual to a complete anarchist capable of throwing someone elseâ??s clothes (I am being PG13 here) off a terrace after having a few drinks is astounding :P. You are a great guy to hang out with and I do wish we had had more such incidences :D. You are going to have an amazing future. Just remember to keep in touch. ...SANE NACHIKET SHRIHARI

The oldest friend on campus, we started as a bakra group, doing random assignments and what not. I was really glad when I got to know that you and I were in same section. I would like to apologize for one thing before proceeding further and that is I should have paid attention to your poems because after that you have never shared any poem with me ï??. So Tanmay is a bit crazy, intellectual, drama queen, moody and creative - all in one. Moreover, you are a brilliant quizzer and when anyone talks about Bollywood I am just left in awe with the kind of things you know. You have the requisite knowledge in so many fields which makes you debate on almost every topic. Your CPs are admirable be it in any course (especially HR courses where you have ruled ;)). You are one of those who loves to party and are always ready even when no one is. Your dancing style is weird though:p. One peculiar thing about tanmay is his shyness, he is shy of so many things,

shy in front of camera (making weird poses to look normal ;)), shy of going out with girls, shy in front of random people etc. And I seriously wonder where he gets all the gossips which are totally inaccurate: p Sometimes he becomes so childish that he is not sure about all the random things he is doing. Getting angry over something and sulking away alone with his dear earphones :P. Nevertheless he is a great guy and a close friend.

I wish you all the best for future and I consider myself lucky that we have been friends since day one on campus....Tushar Gupta

Tanmay! I have many fond memories of you.. Our gtalk chats where you just showed off your knowledge about every single thing in this world and made me wonder how does this guy know so much..you talking about random things.. Why is Shivling called so, tujhe ears pr thand nahi lagti hogi naa (You are so funny and cute :D).. I really like your straightforward attitude, the way you have opinions on most of the things, the way you take a stand, you stay so calm and friendly always..the way you manage to do so many things at the same time.. I need to learn a lot from you! I will always miss the moments spent together..be it campus walks, HOP discussions, love life stories, I got to know you so well in these two years and found a true friend in you. The only thing I don’t like is buhut nakhre hai tere, mujhse bhi zyada :P I regret that we could not spend a lot of time together..but it was not my fault only..placom happened :P But I wish we stay such good friends in the years to come and I can never forget you..

Mumbai jaakr bhi nahi :P Good luck and always stay as sweet as you are! :D P.S. Tushar is so right.. first you shy away from getting pics clicked and then you complain.. I don’t have any good pic :P Please get pics clicked more often..you will find some good ones some day :P...SONAKSHI SAINI

The happy go lucky guy, he was the coolest of the lot when it came to treating us :P It was nice knowing you. All the best. Keep in touch :)...

BHASKAR MANDELIA

I was a little apprehensive before our first resume SPOC interaction, but you turned out to be completely different from what I had expected.. you were very helpful and approachable. Thank you for answering all my questions patiently :) Best wishes for your career ahead! Keep in touch :)...ANIMA SHARMA

Nice to see that the proverbial so-called “frustoo” of yesteryears has evolved into a much more amiable avatar. Even better to see that the crazy-for-work attitude persists and hopefully will, and also that he still will

work for stuff he believes in, and does not need to be in the limelight (the light he always hogs elsewhere :P). Jokes apart, He is such a sweet boy. The guy just does not have a mean streak. Sabke mein ek na ek achchi baat to dhoond hi leta hai. Super helpful, intelligent, goaloriented, simple and good hearted. This guy has something in him dunno wats so magical but an ability to deal with situation in the most apt way. U see his track and its evident may it be his CGPA, placom or whatever he likes. His idiosyncratic reply to acads n exams : “”Yaar chud gya main to” Result : grade 3.4 something. There is this enigma in him that I m still trying to figure out that how is he able to keep everyone around him in jovial mood. Being just by his side will make one have a good feeling about oneself; heâ??s such a kind-hearted, caring, helpful and encouraging person. The only thing that he lags is confidence in his own abilities. Dude rona kam kar...your single minded dedication will take you places believe me. All the best for everything you wish to achieve in future. Let’s keep in touch after these last few days as well ! :)...NIKHIL SHARMA

Tanmay - A poet by profession and consultant as a wage earner :P Whenever I think of you, your smile and “Fuck bey” comes to my mind. You are the perfect binding agent of our team and your enthusiasm is unmatchable I still remember the great knowledge session on the great Bean bag in yelisettiâ??s room. You are a m*****f***ng knowledge blackhole who knws everything about everyone be it history, business leaders or sports. How the hell you manage to do all this is something amazing? Stay like this and Mumbai mein ladke party baaki hai :D ...MAYANK JAIN

A very interesting fellow....most often quiet and its hard to get u talking....may be that was the case only with me....ohhh but when u talked words were well weighed... :) Well us sure take ur time to open up which I hope changes in the future so that others can see you what a beautiful person you actually are sooner :) I hope u’ll nurture this person I came to know while my time here and we’ll all see him achieve many greatness that he deserves.... All the best for ur life ahead and stay in touch...I’ll feel good :) ...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Khoop changla mula ahe to! Okay, I’ve used all the marathi I knew. :P The sweetest and coolest person ever, Tanmay is the most modest person too. Never shows ego or any attitude ani khoop avadta mala to!...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

Tapase - I think we in the Committee always know that you have a different viewpoint in any discussion. You like to bring the people aspect always and that is something none of us have picked up despite your best HR focused efforts :). I respect the work that you have put in towards involving faculty and keeping the team together through all the difficult times. The underdog will always find a supporting voice in you and that is proof of your warm-hearted nature. You have been a wonderful friend and I wish you the best of luck for life ahead. Keep in touch! ...CHANDAN NIKHIL K

NEGI

I will remember you as a simple, frank and friendly person with whom I interacted a great deal during SRM - perhaps the only thing that I gained from the course was your friendship ! :P I wish you all the very best for all your future endeavors ! Good Luck and Keep Touch :)...

AYUSH AGARWAL

Dosti in 2 mins. He is that friendly a guy, Owns a car in campus. One of the few people to do so. Calm and Serene person. The best way to describe him is they way he cracks a joke out of a joke. Salute for that.

One of the finest CS player but his knees too goes weak in front of almighty HITMAN_47 (that’s me). He is very fond of Punjabi language too. Awesome walk on the ramp mate. To add to more, I will miss a friend like him.. Friendship with him are like the ones where you do not need to interact frequently but you can rely that it will continue till eternity. I loved his cooking skill in PGP and his adventures with Exchange participants in IIM I. Again one of the few people to score. x Dude, you are a HERO. ...SANKALPA SARKAR

Negi is among those guys who i always found wandering around near sports complex. we were in same team which went to kirloskar for IV. it was always fun interacting with him. always smiling and few pieces of advice he gave me which were actually very good are always there with me. I being a sportsperson that too freak type, i know what it takes to manage workout, studies, ur passion together. but i found negi to be made from same mud as that of mine. wherever u go, just dont forget to send some apples by my place, and when i would take bite, the smell from the apple would directly take me to ur orcahrds where i wud see u plucking the apples for me with big smile on ur face. keep

smiling :)...ABHIJEET SINGH

Friendly and affable. A keen fitness enthusiast and regular at the gym.

Hope ek din tu mujhe Himachal ghumayega.... ...SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

Paaji was the first person I met in this campus and we immediately started working for Bakra. He is a bond in all sense. His confidence is greatly admirable and he can easily pull things off :P. My mess partner for first semester, we shared a lot of things including your business plans. I am sure you will rocket launch those plans after leaving the campus. Have a great and successful life, and kabhi mauka mila to tumhare apples jaroor khaenge :)...Parag Jain

I will remember you as the life of the party, and the most down to earth persons on the campus. One of the best guys I met on planet-i. ...ABHISHEK CHAUHAN

Negi is the Casanova of the campus... The guy of fine tastes... I don’t understand why he needs to go the gym when is naturally blessed wid a near perfect figure... Very down to earth personality and always wears his trademark smile.... He has a keen interest in automoblies and deeply fond of non-veg food... it was a pleasure having you as a friend and I learnt a lot of things from you... Thnk u for everythng....

God bless you... !! :)...DEBRAJ DAS

Thanks for being my close friend Negi...RAJU GHOLLEY

He is a born dude. Style comes to him naturally. Not only Indianâ??s but foreigners see him as a handsome hunk. He is a independent and strong headed person. He keeps his personal values very high. And can do anything for his friends. He is kind of person how can say â??Been there, done thatâ??. At time he has acted as a good disaster manager. I met him for first time in term 2 in a party hosted at JPs room. From that day onwards we had awesome camaraderie and the rest is history. Since both of us are pahaddi, our thought matches at many levels. We share same passion for gym, partying etc. â?¦â?¦ I know he is not meant for small things like job and some he will realize it and will jump in to business â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦.

Whatever course his life takes I wish him all the best ���� Keep rocking the world , Negi international ����. ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

Smart, handsome, energetic, encouraging, and a go to guy. He always stands for his friends, no matter what comes. He is simple and down to earth yet ambitious. He is always ready for new ideas, â??Han han chalo chaloâ?? is probably the most common words youâ??ll hear from him. He has precise taste of things and never compromise with those. PS: I never considered you a friend, you are my younger brother. ...JAIPAL MANDYAL

Tejinder or Teji as we say is a vibrant and full of life person! I remember the parties we had and the fun filled stories offered by Negi. Not to forget that he is very strong and has an athletic stamina that he had proved in our Himalayan extravaganza. A regular gym goer and health conscious person Teji is full of charm and energy. In classes he used to be very participative and I guess he loves marketing and strategy subjects. It was a nice time spent in Planet I with you and I will always remember and cherish our time spent together!!!...SAURAV DEMTA

Fellow Johhnny wing mate, a fitness freak and my volleyball team mate. Would remember your trademark smile whenever you made a remark. Speaks out his mind, as was visible from the numerous CPs he made during 1st year :D. Stay healthy, keep working out and keep enjoying. All the best :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

Bhai I should not be writing this testimonial because apna safar toh abhi actually shuru hoga :P No no just kidding! You are a good guy with an amazing personality! That explains the ‘Chair’ incident in the first place :D Apart from that, definitely the discussions in front of Ravi’s room were totally memorable! Do well in life man and All the Best to the BOTH of us!! :D :D...JAYANT ANKUR KUJUR

Parties ki jaan ... body builder bhai jaan ... banda is very humble and mostly keeps to himself unless you are very good friend. Always has a smile on his face and a calmness in personna. Was good having u as a friend. Hope to be good friends forever ...... all the best for you future....RAVI MAHESHWARI

Negi bhai.. Really enjoyed your company man â?? those short trips outside campus, RIP, HOP.. I just love your way of saying things â?? using all idioms and phrases.. maja aa jata tha sunke :D .. I admire your attitude â?? chill.. jyada tension nehi sab thik ho jayega.. rare attribute for anyone to have.. When I saw your name on the job portal, I was so

happy that I immediately sent a mail to Raju and Mango.. Pel dena bhai job mein.. Take care and keep in touch.. Bohut masti karenge whenever we meet in the future.....KAMAL HAZARIKA

Tejinder Bhai! He was the first person I met at IIM I, and since the day we met at the gate while entering the campus till today, we have had endless conversations on a range of topics that I can never forget. I am also very lucky to have him as a neighbour, as whenever I am in need of any sort of help he is always willing to lend a helping hand. He is a very friendly, decent and down to earth person who gives a lot of respect to everyone.

He is the most health conscious person I have ever come across and I really respect him for that. The time that we have spent be it watching the innumerable movies or dancing on the DJ nights, I will really cherish these moments forever. I am sure his hardwork and dedication will take him to the top and I wish him all the best for that. Do be in touch and keep rocking like you always do! Cheers to our friendship! :) ...AJITESH MEHTA

Tejinder, Zindadil is the word for you for you always have this smile on your face (and I think it is something associated with pahadis in general).

Street smart and the one who managed the finances of our group at RIP, we haven’t met very often since then but we will make up for it some day.

I ll remember you and RIP. Hope you do well :)...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Super stylish and truly rocking personality! It’ll surely be missed after IIM Wish you all the success in life :) Had a great time with you in Laavanya :)...PALAK MAHANOT

Happy go lucky. That’s the word that instantly comes to my mind. One of the most chilled out dudes on campus. You were the one to use CPs as a strategic tool. I hated your CPs as they woke me up many times. :P I also remember you guys’ (You ,Venkat, Nishad and Viabhav) loud discussions during OB-II group activities. One of the most fit people on campus. You also have the highest score on hill climbing..will beat that one day. One thing that I most admire is that you are not afraid to speak your mind...never change that. All the best for the future and keep in touch. :)...

NAVTEJ VERMA

Tejinder bhai! My gym buddy and gymming inspiration!! you were the only guy in the gym lifting heavy weights and i was always in awe of that! loved the times we used to run all the way to the gym together..will surely miss those days! I know aajkal main gaadi bohot maangta hoon, but mu-

jhe maaf karde..ghoomna hi itna hota hai mujhe! :P From whatever little we have talked outside of the gym, you come across as a very smart yet humble person..a rare combination these days! Enjoyed playing fifa with you a couple of times..wish we could have done that more! :( Anyways, wish you all the best for the future. Keep in touch :)...NITIN VERMA

Tejinder, the gentle giant! You’ve got a brilliant smile that stretches from ear to ear man, and you’re very generous with it... Can’t help but smile back forgetting whatever rut I’m in! Definitely one of the first inspirations in the gym! Where’s the fashion show pic man??? You should put that up! I’ve been to HP once nearly half a lifetime ago, will be glad to leave this place knowing where to crash when I do come there next time :) Cheers and stay smiling! ...Avinash Chidambar

The smiling guy with the imposing figure. One of the most friendly Johnnys, I enjoyed dropping by your room every now and then in first year. Unfortnately that did not continue in second year due to different hostels maybe. Wish you all the success in life, and hope to stay in touch :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

got to kwn you durign laavanya’14 itself........nice calm and cheerful person........it was really awesome walking with you on ramp......... especially when i used to ask u please negi dnt forget the poses.... it was real fun spending tym with....hope to be in contact.....all the best for your future.....:-)...PRIYA PARMAR

Sneha

Tyagi

Beauty & Brains ! Look at all the posts below. They echo the same.

My earliest memory of you is “Yaar kyo maar rae ho hamari” - u said this to someone in frustration at NC-3 on the eve of Day Zero of Summers as a reaction to someone’s “Mujhe pata hein tumhara ho chuka hein waha” :P I pretty much shared the same feeling at that time :P Interacted with you during CIIPP sessions - u were undoubtedly one of the best persons to sit next to in a course like this: You have a good perspective on public policy, u r reasonable and ‘samajhdaar’ types ( just as I am :P). Undoubtedly there is a bright future waiting for u.

Just saw ur FB wall. Going forward, it would be good if u stay a little more active there ! :D I suggest u to use social networks as a crusader - a feminist economist perhaps :P. All the very best. Keep Touch :)...

AYUSH AGARWAL

You are among the few persons I have come across in my life for whom I have immense respect.. very mature outlook.. One thing that I will always remember is your head nodding progressive eye- widening look.. Keep in touch and wishing you all the success in lifeâ?¦ :)...

PRAKHAR PORWAL

One of the most level headed and intelligent girls that I have come across in my life. Completely no-nonsense( diametrically opposite to what I am). This calmness that is ever present in you says volumes about you. You will definitely be very very successful in life. With your skills, humility and intelligence, success is inevitable. All the very best in life :) Cheers!! ...ARINDAM PAUL

Sneha! I wonder why we did not interact much in 1st year :| I have

definitely become a lil more girly refined thanks your inputs/suggestions :D and of course we make a great team, we have 50% success rate in competitions (which we are yet to celebrate!) :P I really admire your poise, patience and your commitment towards work ..You are a great confidant and a friend and i will always cherish all the times we spent discussing life and times :) And am sure you will excel in whichever field you decide to pursue your career so dont worry about it :) Keep smiling as always and keep in touch :) ...ROHINI H

Elegance personified! I am so glad we happened to end up in the same section. Life here would not have been so simple without you as a friend.

There is so much that I have learned from our interactions. You have offered me the moral support and self confidence which I needed badly.

You’re like the elder (sorry, could not help :P) sister I never had, and I adore you for that. It’s sometimes difficult to believe how trust worthy, kind hearted and sweet you are. With the sincerity and willingness you display in all your endeavours, you are bound to reach greater heights.

Looking forward to many more good moments together!...RAJNI RANJAN

My neighbour during the entire first year.Always cheerful, happy and helpful.Sheâ??s the one whoâ??d wake me up with her â??nicely timedâ??

CPs in class...thanks for that ;) .Sneha is a wonderful person and is a good friend to have around. Wishing you the best of what life has to offer!...

VISHNU.V.A

A perfect combination of Intellect, Hard work and great ideals. I have been in so many groups with you (electives, competitions, RIP, HOP. Long list indeed). In fact you reduced my workload by many multiples be it assignments or competitions. Had many awesome discussions. I liked the the spark in your eyes when you talked about doing good to the society (So genuine). I can go on and on praising you (I can pen down a book ) but well some things are great unsaid. I am sure you will make everyone proud. ATB!! ...SUMANTH J

One another person who shares my pain of having to live with the jumbled name on the attendance records (Surname first, First name later). We two were partners in crime of majority of my group assignments at IIM Indore, I know sometimes you were allotted very weird topics for your part (Reference: Due Diligence for Cadbury-Kraft deal) :-P. I have always respected that calm and composed demeanor of yours and I am sure this x-factor would make you a successful person in life. I still wonder how you

could have climbed so fast during the HOP, while most of us were just desperate to walk :-) Wish you all the best! ...GHOLAP GAURAV ANIL

I loved the times we spent together...the outings, the girl time...all of it. You are one person whom i have always admired and looked upto.

Wish you all the success in life and may you scale greater heights. ATB and keep in touch :) ...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Sneha, I admire the kind of calm and composure you have all the time. The air of confidence around you. Very dedicated towards your work and of course an elegant speaker. These are few out of all the things I appreciate about you and would like to imbibe in myself. You have been a great friend, I could always run up to you for any kind of help and advice. Very jolly person, positive attitude and always smiling! All the best for future and be in touch :) ...SONICA GUPTA

Sneha, you have been a really helpful and friendly person. I really value all the advice that you gave me during my initial days at college. I hope you succeed in all your endeavours in life. Stay in touch and all the best :D ...PALLAVI BHANDARI

Beauty and brains they say is rare. Cherry top it with maturity, well that is one in a zillion. Knowing you before IIM has been a bonus of sorts for me. There is just so much to learn from you. I have had some real weird conversations with you without an iota of fear as to how you would react. I must admit, it is tough to win an argument when you are in the opposition. The only thing that works in that case is Alcove and Cheese! To loads of cheese and happiness! Cheers!...Rishabh Trivedi

First met Sneha at a workshop for CAT in Delhi. With her questions, she initially came across a s person intelligent but somewhat tensed with the whole process (Not that I was not tensed at that point of time!). Then we meet at Section-C of IIM Indore where her infrequent CP-s from the penultimate row would expose unexplored avenues of thought. Her meticulousness and intelligence deserves special mention as I experienced when I worked with her in the study group of 2nd term and a few other electives. Often we would also discuss how we both never wanted to return to our past life in one of those ‘plants’.

Her determination somewhere injected a similar sense of motivation into me. Her landing campus placements on the very first day in both summers and finals, however, summarises her performance all very

briefly. Wish you all the best!...DEBAYAN BISWAS

Sneha- The Miss Congeniality of Section C who got along with everyone, and everyone wanted to be around her. You share my love for eating good food and I remember how we both used to coax people in trying out different foods at RIP (especially the Greek restaurant we had tried).

Another unforgettable memory of yours is the HR class in which we both were supposed to negotiate; it was so funny! We’ve had many differences of opinions on several issues and I know I’ve been stubborn on umpteen occasions so apologies for that. You will always be very successful in life because you are intelligent and at the same time very much pragmatic and mature. Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Sneha is one of the few girls blessed with beauty as well as brains. She is very sincere in her work and is also a perfectionist. She is extremely calm-natured. She is cheerful and loves to eat.One of the things about her that very few people would know is that she is very good at playing garba. It was nice knowing you. Wishing you all the best for all your future endeavours! ...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

Sneha - Friendly, confident, hard-working, dedicated and intelligent.. n all characteristics in equal proportions ;) Must say u Carried urself in a very sophisticated manner throughout these two years.. CP queen of our section ;) was always admirable the way u raised questions n doubts n wile asking itself came up with the answer/solution for the same :) not shy of putting ur point forward, we were lucky to have u in the FMCG grp to suggest innovative solutions for the assignments n projects ;).. one of the initiators to mail every1 for meeting up before the assignment deadline, u managed studies n competitions brilliantly.. all the best for the future :)...

KRIT DOSHI

One of the most sincere and beautiful girls of our batch. Seeing her walking in to a room can make you feel that a high profiled corporate executive has entered, thatâ??s her persona. We have not hung out much and mostly we have met at the dining table of mess and few times in classes and my room but talking to you has always been a pleasure. Full of knowledge and a very mature girl you are and this will definitely be a base of your great future ahead. â?º...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

Dear Sneha, your elegant personality & serene composure are admirable.

I remember i was glum over a silly prank played on me, and you advised

me to never let someone else affect my mood & disposition. You are a sweet, mature & wise girl...Have a wonderful life ahead :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Elegance, Grace, Poise, Articulate are few words I can use to describe Sneha. The way she addresses people, the way she structures her thoughts, her I always felt she has been this perfect managerial material . So it would be hard to believe that someone like me can count Sneha among my good friends ;) Ok, sorry for all the praise, She has actually bribed me to write good things about her :D Jokes aside(well most of it is true:D) Sneha is someone I always admired for the way she conducted herself on campus. She has a fantastic work ethic, level headed and is very talented and always displays a mature demeanor.

On a personal level, she is a very good friend, a confidant and someone who you would love to have a conversation with, but ya she does have this ability to make some very poor jokes too :D. Her ‘Be Elegant’ advice actually worked really well for my job interview :) Somebody I am surely staying in touch with :) ...Deepak Talluri

The most popular girl of our section. Don’t worry I wont bore you with with ‘elegant’, ‘beauty with brains’ kind of stuff. So Sneha is very simple, calm, intelligent, sweet, and caring and tries to act innocent.

Initially I felt that you were a bit dull and boring but over a course of time you have changed a lot. You should be thankful to the company ;). You have become much more interesting and friendly. Have shared a lot of good memories with you especially during HOP and MICA trips. I have found you to be hard working, smart and quite intelligent.

You are an outgoing girl who loves to eat classy food. We also share our love for cheese :). It is always fun to hang out with you. You like to globe a lot and its not that bad, actually we got used to it :p. Also whenever I tease you on your height or age you always take it in good spirit. You seem professional from every aspect and you are going to be very successful in life, no matter what you do. I am grateful to have a friend like you. Wish you all the best for future and hope you stay in touch (you remember what I told you one day on bus journey regarding staying in touch after college :p). My only wish is to see your dance one day which you promised ;) ...Tushar Gupta

Beauty with Brains- u define that....One famous girl- be it BTech or MBA... One of the most calm, composed and serene (ask any guy ;) ) ppl on campus.. The most respected person for the respect that she

gives to a person (not just elders), for her great understanding nature and ofcourse her charm! Now here is something that ppl here might not know about u- she is a great dancer and has done a blindfold dance which she won! Have always looked up to u and will miss all those chit-chats... One secret is that I had one feeling here that I could approach u anytime I want... Thanks for being there! Wish u the best! I sure will stay in touch... just forward me the no. :P :)...VIBHUTI AGARWAL

Was lucky to have you in our assignment group in 2nd term. Your presence brought a sense of serenity and also a new perspective. Now everything about you has always been said in above posts. So, i just wish you all the best in life. Keep in touch!! :)...ROHIT KUMAR GUPTA Sneha...i admire u the most in the campus...that is not because of ur beauty and elegance (ok they r also a major factor :)......but because u r the sweetest person i hav come across whose smile can make a room full of miserable people happy...i hav always enjoyed talking to u because it makes me believe that girls can be gorgeous and sensible at the same time...u took so many fin subjects..whined about it all the time and still did good in all of them...u vil do great in life...it was great fun working with u in ashwa....u r truly an incredible person....wish u all the success and happiness in life :)...PUNIT GUPTA

Sneha is one of the most intelligent and elegant people of campus....Bandi itni multifaceted aur talented hai ki jahan jana chahe jaa sakti hai (read: HUL and now, ICICI). Go to know her during IV....sensible as well as fun to hang out with.....remember our frustrations on being handed a project which had no linkage to management, the time we globed around deriving out of our Electrical Engg background in the COO’s office. Really admire your people skills, the way you interacted with people working on the shop floor. Wish you the very best in life :)...RUDRASHIS ROY

Sneha...the cutie pie of the batch :) I used to compliment u so much and u never accepted it...loved that modesty as well....such a cute, intelligent and a wonderful character-a rare mix...we used to b in so many groups together and I enjoyed working with u...will never forget the way u tried to teach me hindi :P so sophisticated and gentle....sincere and dedicated...i should also say that ur guy is very lucky :) wish u have so many good things lined up in life...have a very bright future and do stay in touch :) ATB ...PREETHI S

Tyagi-ji..- The person with huge round eyes and a soft calm voice. Very

smart and Intelligent - had lots of fun working you in Corp. Banking, FMCG and QMR assignments.Being fellow Section-C-ite witnessed some of your marathon CPs also in class :). A very assertive communicator and you always made your point of view clear. Very friendly and a wonderful person. Stay the way you are... :)...SWARNENDU SEN

Sneha - one-of-a-kind girl with awesome looks and god gifted ideas.... she’s brainy too. It was quite easy for her to set herself apart in the batch. Hilarious face with a crispy smile :P, she has got the perfect blend. Will always remember the funny moments that we shared together. And her taste for cuisine is simply amazing. No one could ever believe how can such a slim beauty eat so much :D God bless u for your future endeavors. Keep in touch :)...PRASHANT KUMAR GUPTA

Graceful-the first word which comes to my mind when I think of you.

Never known to have raised your voice even by a single decibel, you put forth your points with such sincerity and eloquence that people shut up and listen. You are endowed with a number of qualities-be it assertiveness, intelligence, logical aptitude, helpfulness and sweetness, which make people admire and respect you. Keep smiling :)...

APAL

Sneha is one person who effortlessly embodies elegance with intellect. We worked together on Interrobang and Pidilite live project and working with you has been an enriching experience. What I admire about you the most is the way you articulate and express your immensely creative ideas. Wish you all the best for an illustrious career ahead. Stay in touch :) ...ANAND MALHOTRA

Hey Sneha.. I dont want to praise about your beauty,brain and whatever you have got as the testimonials above this have amply demonstrated all that :) You were one of the first I met in Sec C and definitely the first friend among girls.. I always enjoyed talking to you.. What I admire about you is your soft spoken,calm and composed nature..

But I know well enough that you are also a simple girl.. When making groups,you were one of my first choices if we shared the same subjects.. Will not forget the arguments we had in OCD simulation..

Glad that I know you.. Call me for your marriage and keep in touch..

Wish you a wonderful life ahead :)...RIZWAN MOHAMMED P A

u are the most adorable girl on campus with a very clear though pro-

cess. u r so down to earth and friendly. i have had a great time working on projects with u. i was disappointed when we could not make it for the marico finals as u had put so much effort into it. but this was the first time i saw ur dedication to any work that u take up. i have spent great time with you. wish u all the best for your future and do keep in touch always. P.S. everyone has already mentioned but ur testimonial really seems incomplete without saying that u truly are the perfect combination of absolutely charming beauty with great mind yet u r so humble and i believe this is the reason why everyone respects u so much :) ...SHIVANG GUPTA

during first year I had an impression that you are very boring and monotonous, but you proved me wrong in second year. Thus i learnt a very important lesson in life... never judge a person by her CP. Well you are very friendly, mature, hardworking, fun loving and I had a great time working with you in all those assignments. Perfection cannot be improved so stay the same. All the best....RAJAT

Sneha.. my silent neighbor :P I have really admired you a lot for being such a charismatic girl.. No wonder guys fall for your charm so easily..

Believe me if I were a guy,, I would have been the luckiest guy to stay next door to you hahaha On a very serious note, I feel your confidence, street smart attitude, communication skills and pleasing personality will take you to newer heights one day! Wishing you a great future ahead :D...SONAKSHI SAINI

Does a fin job pay more than being a model? Cos I totally think you can pull off both :D I really enjoyed the fun times we had during our internships - when you would ask me of all people to help you out with Bengali translations (I think even Sid might have been a better choice for that :P).

You strike me as a very calm person who can handle any situation but just likes to have people around for moral support :P No doubt you’re going to make it big someday and I hope I get to hear about it. Have a very happy life ahead :)...ANOORAG BISWAS

Sneha known u since the time when I thought you are jumping line during registration for IIMI and voiced my disagreement.....little did I know we’ll end up in the same section,same project group and becoming friends....

The girl who deservedly got the most beautiful sec-C girl award in our section party...and might have even pulled off in the 2014 batch...your grace sure wins peoples hearts even before they get to know “thats not all folks”....composed, a bit reserved, very mature, intelligent and hard

working too!!! :) and despite all that u are so down to earth and easy to get along...you connect with everyone... the cookie incident was pretty funny....dunno what you were thinking or may be a little...but left it that.... will always remember the fun times that we had together and the little garba u taught us during the DJ nyts,fact that you can eat quite a bit and still be so slim especially.......yes u guessed it CHEESE!!, that u can always make of urself for being tall, ur really long and slow CP although not arbit in 1st year only : P :P,the hand movements while at it ....etc etc etc :) Have the best in life sneha....u already have some of it ;) do invite!!! and as far as career is concerned no doubt uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make it big :) Try n stay in touch :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

V. DAR

U r one of the sweetest neighbours I had in both the years and u r a very elegant and confident person....I hope u have a wonderful life ahead....all the best :)...Sneha Landge

Classical queen of our club.. Always smiling, a pleasant personality but also got stern when the situation demanded.. one mixing songs the night before the performance :P, encouraging everyone n yup the only one who remembered clicking pics which would become happy memories in future.. Really connected well through Vibes. Cherished conversations wid u :) hop u have a great future ahead :)...KRIT DOSHI

Got to know you during HOP. One person who stands out. It was fun being around you, with all the sanitizer mania and auto-timer clicks :D One trait of yours I immensely respect is that you speak out your mind (even though it may or may not make sense :p). And yes, you make awesome sandwiches. Keep on dancing, stay happy, and wish you the best for your future :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

I remember seeing you on the second day of joining the campus, the one who rebelled against the morning yoga sessions :P :P you have some very unique characteristics which defines you.. A very vocal person and a feminist ! I have seen you help people around a lot out of your own interest, which is a really good character. A cleanliness freak roaming around with sanitizer and tissue always :D :P Loves travelling and shopping alot and one person who loves doing all that alone !

Also one other characteristic of hers is that she speaks the tam-brahm dialect perfectly (spashtama !) and her everyday tamil can get really complex for ppl who dont understand pure tamil words, coz its so full

of it :P Happy to have made friends with you ! will fondly remember all the instances that we spent together in all the outings and assignments and what not :) :) All the Best for a great career and a wonderful life ahead ...SUHASINI G K

The first memory goes back to my lasya interview...while everyone else was ripping me off...you were the kindest and most considerate :) I’ve interacted very briefly with Darshana but whenever I met her she was warm, helping and all smiles :D Your kindness reflects at your face and the way you treat everyone is what is so unique about you...It was a pleasure knowing you indeed...my best wishes for future,,,do remember your lasya junior :)...SARTHAK SRIVASTAVA

You were my POC during the resume iteration for summer internship.

Initially I was not in your good books ;-) Thenafter when we had the final review, I realized that you were one of the finest ppl whom I had met on campus:) You were very kind to me :) I will remember that day forever...U instilled in me the courage to do the best in everything :)Thank you for that :) Got to know what hard work means from u....Really had a nice time with u during the pongal feast ...I am sure that u ve a bright future ahead waiting for u...and I know u ll rock:) All the very best...Miss u...Stay in touch!!!!...ISWARYA VINOTHINI J

Darshana :)...It was great to see that somebody on campus shared my interest of “Good” music and dance :)....You have also been a great help... be it my summers or the courses (current and the ones planned in the future :) )...you are by far one of the most genuine and sincere ppl I have ever met...I am inspired by that attribute of yours :)...I wish you all the very best from the bottom of my heart and hope that someday we could work together :)...n ya...do stay in touch :)...SANDESH V

Excellent dancer, incomparable Glober.:D She has an opinion on everything and you have to accept it if you are to survive. My first reaction after meeting you was: God I want to kill her, and you somehow went on to become one of my best friends on campus. Walks with you were fun, my Kindle was your and DD’s hard-work (at least more than my own contribution). An honest, sincere person who’s committed to her duties and passions. Will go a long way, I’m sure. Stay blessed, stay connected.:) ATB....Vishal Vyas

Rendezvous in Chennai was the first time I got to interact with you. After coming down here, I was searching for any familiar face and believe me,

I was immensely glad to see you. Happened to get you as my POC too. Have bugged you for anything and everything, from asking about POR’s to summers to acads,.. I respect you for your sincerity and helping nature. You are a versatile person having maintained your acads and dancing talent so well in a place like this which keeps people busy most of the time. Wish you all the luck for your future.. May you go places and live your dream :) Do stay in touch :) ...MANISHA JAYA

we met during our bakra group and surely won’t forget the countless bashings we had to take for not meeting deadline even once..in our first interactions she would go on and on about her experiences at IIML :p..wishing u all the happiness in lyf and don’t give up on ur dancing skills.. :) :)...VENKAT DUBASH. L

It was great to interact with and learn from Darshana. We had a common liking for classical arts and had some engaging discussions. It was nice to note that you maintained a fine balance between studies, friends, arts and extra-curriculars :) Wishing you good luck for the times ahead :)...SRINIVAAS G

The one person I could right away trace roots right from school! Saying she’z my senior from my school!! And you made us all proud of course!! :) Akka, akka, and akka through the years!! And someone I could still smile about being shorter than me! And so adorable at that! Akka, you’re one of the most helping and caring persons I’ve ever known!!:) :) And often, I was told I am similar to you b’coz of the non-stop chatter!! Well, that’s what we have in common! :D And when people told me that we were alike, I felt they were wrong, didn’t like having an another like me around, u know! ;) But the funny thing was, u were much older and still we were the kids!! :D :P Even as I write this, I can recollect your always smiling face ever ready to help!! If I were even a little as wonderful and awesome as you, I shall be proud of myself!! Thank you for being such a beautiful person in my life, colouring its canvass bright with ur splendid colours!! :) :) Love you akka!! :) ...Nivetha

We came in touch through MLTFL - one of the better courses that we did here ! It was good to befriend someone who is equally interested in mythology and is a nationalist (..from the cover photo that I supposedly ‘flicked’ :P) Working on the video presentation was fun..and I remember u were very professional in terms of dress up, expressions

etc ! A part of that endeavour which I would like to forget is my reading out of my personal messages so as to inspire some realism in the act.

When I look back, I find that outrageously stupid :D I wish you all the very best for your future ! Keep Touch :) ...AYUSH AGARWAL

Darshana, you’re easily one of the most caring people on campus, but I feel you tend to go overboard with it :P I am still skeptical how its possible to be that way always and with everyone! Recently, I have seen that while you can be that way, you can also be surprisingly critical, finally figured out the tradeoff! ;) Initially I thought you were a jabber-mouth, still remember being there that day, getting nearly depressed how you kept droning on and on with Giridharan just nodding his head! :P Glad that part of you changed at least :P somewhat :P We have had very interesting discussions, but I always felt preachy by the end of it, I’m sure I was, sorry about that! But I guess that won’t change anytime soon :P Cheers!...

Avinash Chidambar

darshana alrite..... a completely out of this world gurl...... must say she has a altogether a different thoughprocess....she thinks of things which no one can ever imagine to think about.... then let it be the squirrel picture she takes at 5 in the morning, cuteness she finds in a stirrer, or her magnificent power of identifying where lizards or mouse is roaming in the room..... her room is a complete mess.... i still wonder where she sleeps?/??? great sandwich maker, had a nice Diwali treat from her....beautiful bharatnatyam dancer.....complete geek and gr8 conversation skills.......but no one can beat her sleeping talent which she showed us during HOP trip..... its a talent as she can sleep anywhere anytime anyplace......always helpful.... way too organized in evrything she does....shes a wonder gal really...... I never imagined she could be so much fun to be with...... i always cherished your company and i hope to be in touch with you lyf long......:-)...

PRIYA PARMAR

The compulsive helper! :P I was surprised that someone called you that, but then, you are that, in a really nice way though. One of the most genuine people I met on campus! You make friendship look so simple and hassle free. Take things at face value, say exactly what you mean and always be ready to go out of the way to help. It is this nature of yours that gets you so many friends that it takes a huge t-shirt, which would drown you, to just get all your closest friends’ hand prints in one place. One of the things I would regret about my life at IIM I is not getting to know you earlier. I had so much fun with you that I would have loved to have more

of that time. We stayed up chatting till 5.30 am on some days to make up for the lost time, but turns out, that just wasn’t enough. But then you can’t blame me you see. I was initially intimidated when you told me that you were maintaining an excel about what you eat each day :P Ofcourse, I have to admit your meticulousness helps a lot of times, when, let’s say I was clueless about the list of companies I applied to during summer placements! Ok, so I seem to be pulling your leg again.

But I am incapable of having a conversation with you without that :P On a more serious note,if I am to mention one thing that is the most appealing about you, I would say it is your genuineness in what you do for others. Great to have known you...M DIVYA DEEPTHI

There are few people whoz purity of heart have struck me, Darshana happens to be one of them. With a cool personality and an ever smiling face, shez always willing to lend a helping hand to one and all.

Throughout the first year, she has been my saviour from Baba’s irritating comments and a partner in pulling his leg :P. Seated on the first two rows in NC4, both of us were usually rushing for the class at the last minute..making it just in time :P. She and Divya were also the usual source of food during those 15 min breaks :P Darshana always speaks her mind out and has an opinion about everything, even when she hasn’t read the case :P. A phenomenal dancer.. its always a pleasure to watch her perform!! The way she manages your acads along with extra-curriculars is really admirable :) Darshana, you are a very approachable and friendly person..something that would surely help in your corporate life. It was really nice to have known you. Wish you all the very best for future :)...SHOBHNA SHRUTI

One of my dearest friends on campus and easily one of the best people I’ve known. The one person I can be certain I’ll always be in touch.

The ppt you sent me when I was mad at you was one of the sweetest things someone has ever done for me. I’ll never forget our long late night discussions, your support in every decision I’ve made, your failed attempts at teaching me how to dance :P ( I would’ve been so lost without you at any DJ/Section party). You’ve constantly motivated me to overcome my deficiencies. You live by principles and always speak your mind. You are a child at heart : So innocent, so affectionate, â??whatâ??s to fearâ?? attitudeâ?¦ I’ve seen you go out of the way to help people. You are so independent and bold. You are one amazing personâ?¦. Stay the same always. I know I am not someone who can express affection all that easily and it takes a really good friend to

put up with me :D Thanks for being one :) ...S KANCHANA

Through whatever little interactions I’ve had with you, you come across as a humble straightforward person with a penchant to achieve greater things in life. Your discussions with the Prof in MOS class were riveting at times, and so was your determination to do well in Pinnacle. Your dance skills are iconic and watching you climb in HOP was intriguing :P Wish you the very best in the times ahead :)...APAL

Darshana..We go back all the way to Rendezvous’13. You are easily the most helpful person I know on campus and have been one of my go-tos for all planet i advice.I will remember you as the face of Spic Macay on campus,a great dancer, thinker and a bold person in general! You are also really good at hiding vodka bottles. Thank you for all the help and wish you an extremely happy and successful journey ahead in life!!...ARAVINDHAN SUNDAR

Hi Darshana, I always felt that you belong to that rare species of people who don’t shy away from making a fool of themselves. Opinionated and a great conversationalist.A very helpful person. Had you not guided me on the boutiques, my sari-shopping would have come to naught. A multitalented girl,her dance is a treat to watch. Wish you all the very best in life.

Best Wishes, Sabornee...SABORNEE JANA

First of all, it’s not every other girl’s parents who receive son-in-law like behavior from me. The girl either has to be my wife, or very special (or both :P). So conclusion, you are special! :)! To know why will take ages and to list reasons will be heavily ink and time-consuming. So I’ll skip them as they are known to the world, and wait, talking about known to the world, I’d tell you your best quality, you are an open book. There’s another reason for which you might be special, you bring rice snacks when you go home, but Ok that carries lesser weight in comparison to others like, sayyyyy, nice human being??!! :P That I sometimes skip mess only to eat with you at Aunty’s shows you are great company, especially over meals, with your Gyaaan on food. There’s another Gyan w share, the Gyan for good music (especially Rahman during asignments) and then there’s Gyan you always wanted o give me : making good PPTs and enhancing my excel skills. I ended up learning zilch though! :P From sitting through assignments night after night to sit-sleeping on the same bed with 7 other people during HOP, we’ve shared a beautiful friendship which would only be best served if it grew in times to come! Stay in touch and on of

these days I’d again receive B’day bumps on your behalf! (PS : Still hurts!) ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Classic. It has to be Darshana. A passion for dancing, a sense of good music and of course being involved in preserving the heritage of India.

Though I do not make most of what good music and art is all about, check out what she is up to and more often than not you end up at the right song and/or at the right event. A true marketer, full of ethics (MoS CPs stand testimony), many of her acts (SPICMACAY and Summary Documents) make you learn a lot. Though we did not interact much on a direct basis, it has been a great exchange of cues through actions and views that we shared. Wishing you the very best!...Rishabh Trivedi

One of the sweetest people on campus, embodiment of creativity, talent and energy. Just for the record, we met at IV in the first term and never used to run out of topics to ramble on about deepti, makode and Compton griefs ( :P ). Ardent follower of music and cultural, should say the cultural backbone of iim indore. Most of the classical tracks and songs you suggested still make up my favorites list. And of course, not to miss out those numerous competitions that we registered, just sat there and let the deadline pass by and do a post mortem. But yes we did do some good work in a few of them. Awesome friend, very glad to have known you. Best wishes for a great future, do keep in touch!...S NITISH SIVARAMAKRISHNAN

A very sweet and an innocent person. I like you being strict during anything you do with teams.Keep smiling. Will miss you!...ALTAMASH ASLAM

Day - 3 IIM Indore Sports Complex :: That was the first time I met this tiny creature. Too much attitude and show off was completely evident as she went about bragging the great time she had at IIML. That was when I decided - ‘Yeppa, inda ponnoda sera koodadu’. But then things changed completely. From then and beyond, I would say, I have always found you extremely comfortable to share most of my personal stuffs. I would like to use up this space to share something which I haven’t done previously. You are among my very close friends’ on campus till date and to put it frankly, you are more than a friend to me. You have always been on my side during my tough times. I still remember how much kind you were in helping me out during the Placom process. You have always believed that I deserved what I wished

(remember the IIFT thing?). I still value your feedback and the advice you give me all the time (though I barely listen to anybody younger to me :P). You have a knack of making me fall into a trap everytime. There have been numerous instances like this which deserves a greater avenue for mentioning. I have always liked the care and concern I found from you everytime in everything. It made me feel special. Be it the coffee you make me, stuffs you bring from home, the elai vadam you got your mom to make or your other friendly gestures, I always felt that I got more than my friendship deserved. Though things changed and so did the proportions, the amount of impact you have created on me and my life never changes.

Similarly the extent of our friendship can only grow further. I don’t need to ask you to stay in touch. I won’t tell you ATB. I know you would scale amazing heights. Just be sure to be a strong woman as you are now and never break down. One small piece of advice - CUT YOUR NAILS LITTLE DEMON!!...RAHUL S

A very sweet girl always with a smile on her face. Got to know you while working together for Interrobang. Like the way you express yourself and your choice of words..it is really influencing. Can never forget the day we went to Mashal and the acting we 3 did to get entry through the Institute gate..:D. I have known you as a person who is always there to help her friends (appreciate the subject summaries you made before placements).

Always be the wonderful person you are and keep smiling. Wish you all the best for your future..:)...AKANKSHA VYAS

Darshana, I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful person to have been my resume iteration POC. The time you spent on each of us showed how sincere you were and your kind, warm and generous demeanor were refreshing to encounter. Stay true to yourself and all the best for your future!...AMIT SUNIL

Well to start with, I would like to thank you for helping me getting off sooner with placements _/\_. You are a good dancer and good CP giver too :p ...When we first met in airport and catched same cab, u were murmuring about IIM Lucknow, about city etc..from which i deduced “Arey yar, bahut bolti hai e ladki..pata nahin kaun jhelega ise” (frankly)I but slowly u nullified my assumptions. always wondered how come a girl can come prepared with all cases, participate in all extracurrics and do all other stuff..U have the zeal to achieve anything u want and hope u make right use of it in your corporate career to rise high ! Thanks for being a part of my life :)...

POTTI RAJESH

Darshana - Hi! :) Me writing a testimonial here will probably surprise you as much as the idea of writing one surprised me, provided how little we have interacted. Nonetheless :) Have always enjoyed your discussions/arguments with professors especially the Stress Management class (haha). Your knowledge about Marketing is pretty well known, can’t thank you enough for those diliegently made notes you sent over prior to the placements. Yes, they helped. A lot :) Add to that a fabulous dancer. Really wish we would have had more of a chance to interact but still all the best for your future. Ace Madura! (I know you will) :) ...VIKALP KUMAR NIGAM

Our first meeting on campus and the first month wasnâ??t that encouraging, probably because I didnâ??t know much about you and my pranks didnâ??t go down well. It was probably during our first trip back to Chennai (I still remember the way you network :-D) that I got to know about you. You would be a perfect example for a person with idiosyncrasies. Be it from sticking souvenirs in close friendsâ?? rooms or preparing exotic foods and asking friends to taste, you are full of such idiosyncrasies and the commitment you show towards such work is really amazing. Youâ??re a real multi-talented person, and one may not know about it till they know you well. And you are bold in your own way, I have envied the way youâ??re independent of others in your plans, be it a function in Gujarat or travelling to IIM Lucknow just to see the campus, keep up that spirit! I really owe you for your help during the finals prep. Your patience and candid feedback on that day was extremely helpful. A lot of praise also makes it too formal, and this is no end note. I will surely be in touch, and will visit your house soon!

Keep up your spirits and qualities!...ARUN B

Darshana, will always remember you as someone who always wanted to do more and more. This hunger of yours to push yourself is admirable. Cherish the memories of our MTR trip and eating that molten chocolate on the Domlur street. Have a great future!!...ARPIT TANDON

u are so full of ideas. v never talked in pgp1 but u have become a very good friend of mine after we met in AIESEC. u have done a great job in Spic Macay. a great dancer and orator u r one of the cutest persons on campus. it has always been great talking to u. i wish we could have explored some more food joints together as i hardly find someone so passionate about food as u r. well keep in touch after IIM. and all the very best for future :) ...SHIVANG GUPTA

Hey Darshana, Got to know you through Vibes and rest is history :P ...

The Ms Perfect of the Vibes group and probably only one we juniors were scared of :P ... But yeah fun to be with :). Loved the initiatives you took to help our batch through the summer placements. U inspire people to stick to time and work as planned. Thanks for all the guidance :). Stay in touch.

All the very best :)...BHAWNA S

And there they were, yapping away for what they were worth and a super bored me saw this person writing in an amazing handwriting the gibberish they were saying. I was like that’s Arial 12!! So apparently this girl who makes dedicated notes does not do the NPAD, woah I knew something was amiss. Yup she knew about the Bakra sessions! Darshana reminds me of her cat, always on the move, chasing things and finding pink stuff cute. She is extremely organized and loves out of the box thinking. Very helpful by nature and talented in multiple things. Wish you all the very best and a successful life ahead!...VIDUSH ARYA

Ever smiling person who just loves to talk to people. The number of people she knows inside and outside the campus leaves you spellbound, ..Very Good Dancer.. Lover of Classical Music .. She balances arts,academics and friends with ease and is One of the most confident person, I have met .Wish you all the best for future and Happy times always ....M V VARUN

You are one of the sweetest and most helpful persons I have encountered here..Thank you so much for all the lovely things you had done for me..I will always remember the fun we had during Vibes rehearsals ! Wishing you all the best in life... ...SUSMITA DAS

Indeed your are one of the sweetest and warmest seniors I came across in IIMI. Though our interaction was very brief but you were always helpful and enthusiastic. It was pleasure working with you in Lasya. All the best for your future. Hope you get all the happiness in life. Do give us a party before leaving.... ;) ...ANANYA MAHATO

She may be small but she packs a punch!...She is independent, bold, talented and optimistic! Iâ??ve really admired you for your never ending enthusiasm to try new things irrespective of what people may think. You look at everything as an opportunity to learn and improve yourself and thatâ??s supercool!..I am sure you will have tons of success coming your way and you deserve every bit of it. Keep in touch! Cheers!...K KARTHIK

IN AV JA H B I A V

heyyyy most helpful.. most enduring... most knowledgeable... very friendly and the senior whom I admire the most !!! :D I remember how glad I was to find a person like you on campus who was so approachable and understanding !! The way you used to cheer me up when I was struggling to get internship really motivated me :) Blessed to have a friend like you :) wish you happy and fun filled future :) :) AND KEEP IN TOUCH !!!!!!!!!! :) ...EESHITA

Sir You are one of the most mature guys I have met at IIM Indore.

The amount of knowledge and wisdom you carry with yourself is unparallel. To top it off, I had some great time you at our outing to Jam Darwaza, Pataal Pani and even during our cricket sessions. Hoping to see a lot more of you at Detusche Sir. Aapse seekhne ke liye abhi bohot kuch baaki hai. Wish you all the very best for your future :)...Ishan Rishabh Kansal

One of the most driven guys i have ever seen...came here with a goal in mind...worked tirelessly towards achieving it...had minor speedbumps, so changed his approach...and eventually bagged the best job on campus....i salute that kind of resolve and perseverance...i have never seen u tense....ever...ur smile outside the classroom b4 an exam is such a relief (and many times irritates so much :P)..U r the authority on any fin related matter in the campus...even managed to give a positive return from VC :P... i came to u a day b4 day zero and the tips u gave wer enormously helpful....koi ho, ipm, pgp1,pgp2, u r ready to help anyone (its an added advantage if one seeking help is a girl :P)...U were such good company during the HOP and pataal pani trip...i thoroughly enjoyed our tym together...ab mumbai mai bhi saath hi ho to

waha gadar machaa denge...bas kam busy rehna friends mai (read Girls :P).....Wish u all the success and happiness in lyf...aur gyaan baat te rehna :)...PUNIT GUPTA

You are one of the most hardworking, helpful and composed person I have ever met. I have never seen you raise your voice or be angry at anything. We have had lots of “secret-sharing” sessions together. ;) I have learnt a lot of things from you, especially about investing. :) Wishing you the very best in your life ahead, and always do stay in touch!!! ...SAKSHI YADAV

The first guy of college I talked and met. Started deciding our home journeys even before we met :D. Although it happened just a couple of times but I really missed you and Porwal whenever I travelled to home alone.

We 3 are together since the day 1, the regularity we maintained for mess, night mess and all. Doing bakar at nights even when there was an end term the next day. Although for us you are like â??ghar ki murgi daal barabarâ?? but I do acknowledge you to be the Fin God. Time and again you prove that to achieve success you need not be a Maggu. Remember the origin of team Scarlet, whatta name, and the first competition of college which we won and you were the actual Guru who guided us to be the Fingurus :P. Wo raat raat and even raat ke baad ujaale ki walks including Porwal too. How crazy we were, just to walk we even went in rains with umbrella in one hand. Our outings to TI, 56, not to forget Naturals, then going bigger to places like Jaam darwaaja and pataalpaani and even bigger to HOP continued strengthening our bond and I am sure that with time this bond will grow even more strong. Lucknow Kanpur to waise hi baaju me hi hai, so dooriyan to kabhi badhni hi nhi. Starting from DB I am sure you will reach to the zenith....PRAKHAR KATIYAR

Your commitment and passion towards the thing you like is really commendable. Having such a person as a predecessor definitely makes the task more difficult. I hope to carry forward the legacy you have passed on to me. Apart from that, do stay in touch and wish you a great career ahead. You are bound to do well. :):)...SHAH KUNAL ANIL

You are one of the first seniors with whom i connected the most. Almost similar in most aspects, you have been a great mentor and even better friend. Voyage has always been our top most priority and we both enjoyed being passionate about it. Now we both will meet again in a new place at work. hope to continue the rapport we developed for a lifetime

and keep having the fun conversations always. ...KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA

Kahan se start kareinâ?¦ Off-time mein to bakar karte hi hain, class mein bhi ek akshar nahi sunenge and poora time PJs as if competing against one anotherâ?¦ Koi meaningful topic par bhi discussion start hoga, phir bhi within seconds, back to jokes and forget all about the original topicâ?¦ Jokes aside nowâ?¦ You came here with goal in your mind; worked towards it (VC Secy, no Academics), and aptly got DB and I should say here that Deutsche Bank is lucky to have youâ?¦ You are like the Socrates, Aristotle and Plato of financeâ?¦ Back to bakarâ?¦ 1st term poora; me, you, katiyar night mess mein regularly jaana and listening to funny pronunciations of your name by the mess person; patal lok staircase par baithe rehna- those were the good timesâ?¦ Summer Internship wala awesome timeâ?¦ we will be back in Mumbaiâ?¦.. and at last wishing you all the success in lifeâ?¦.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

Oh yes, can never forget the first meeting!! 3 hours long interview.

Who would have imagined? Nevertheless, it was a great experience.

I would have been lucky to be under your mentorship had I been selected in the team last year. But, better late than never.:p From CFA to VC Secretary to DB! Is such a person normal? :p You totally deserve it though! I am really admire the wealth of knowledge you have (actually jealous :p). You have been very approachable always with multiple solutions to a problem. Hope to do justice to your VC :) Thank you for

giving me a chance to be a part of VC. Hope to stay in contact! PS: DB mein refer karna mat bhoolna :p ...ANKITA NIROLA

Mr. Finance. The guy who amazed me upfront, thanks to him already being an MBA when all of us were just starting off. I was shown his resume during my resume iteration with Akshay and my hopes of getting a decent Finance summers were crushed and dusted to the ground when I knew people with credentials like him existed in our batch :P Then we had our Industrial Visit together, where I realized him to be a like minded guy in many ways. More than his jokes, the Lakhnavi manner in which he cracks them can have you in splits at times. Also, bumping into each other at night mess so often during term 2 was certainly funny :D I hope after passing out we still keep bumping into each other, maybe not in night mess but otherwise! Stay blessed & have fun :)...ISHAN BOSE

Vaibhav was someone I had a lot in common with and even if we were not always interacting frequently, there was one thing I always had for Vaibhav, and its respect. Respect for all the hard work he put in in the last few years for reaching where he has. IIM Indore-VC-Finstream-Investworks:DDeutsche and lets see where else will destiny take us :) ...Deepak Talluri

“The FIN GOD” is what I consider you and you have proven that through the amazing activities of Voyage Capital ;) I’m sure you know how much I hated MAC/FIN :D Thanks a lot for your crash course a day b4 few fin exams else dunno kya hota :D Well I’ve known you right from 1st year and have always seen you as a very calm, composed, sincere patient and hard-working guy who knows where to put in the hard work and where to chill (like timepass in stupid classes ;) :D ) and I respect you for that. I’m sure you will excel in your life ahead.. All the very best for the future and stay in touch always :) ...POOJA JUGRAN

Trust me when I say this, you have been a big big support here. Despite the vast difference in our ways of dealing with situations, and our thinking patterns, you have always tolerated mine :P No matter how worried I came to you, you always assured me with ‘ho jaayega’. You are the kind of person who would go to great lengths to help his friends, and that is a rare virtue to have. I cannot thank you enough for the many times you helped me, especially when it came to any finance topic - you were the encyclopaedia for me. The dedication with which you pursued finance was bound to take you to great heights, and it has. I am sure there is so much more in store for you, given how talented and dedicated you are. On a less serious

note, please get a bit less serious :P Wish you all the best in your life, career and everything else!...RAJNI RANJAN

Vaibhav Bhaiya!! :) I have very little to add to add to this long list of testimonies!! But I’m one of those humble individuals to whose lives you made a difference to!!Love you sooo much bhaiyaa!! Ll always remember you as the “Fin-Guy”, ever smiling and there for anyone who needs you!! :) I dono ow memorable your stay here was, but for us, it was a beautiful walk with you,so beautiful, by the mere virtue of you being a part of it!! :) :)...Nivetha

Vaibhav bhaiya, as I have always addressed him, has been the first guy whom I knew from Planet I before coming to the campus.He has been helpful since the very beginning. I have always looked up to him for guidance and have always treated him as an elder bro. A hardcore Fin guy, he always knew what he wanted. Very focused and talented, he never showed off ever in class. From competitions(DEAL was really a good experience!) to group assignments to walks to random discussions, we have spent great time together (although he has been busy most of the time with some imp committment across courses ;) ). He and I have together royally screwed TAKLU’s happiness. This brotherly figure is very famous on campus. Yes, I also need to thank him for making me money (VC Secy!). He has accomplished a lot in life and would go a long way in life. I am sure, I would see you at the pinnacle and read abt you in some newspaper some day! (Ofc, for all the good reasons! :D).Time spent with you guys have been amongst the best times of my life! Wish you all the best in all your endeavors. DO KEEP IN TOUCH! :) ...PARAG PODDAR

Vaibhav the first person whom I met and there has been no looking back after that. We had matched our frequency in the first week when we were together and still remember our bakra days.He is one of those close friends whom I can trust . I wish I could be with him in his section,still we enjoyed our time in MR classes and workshops, talks at his room and walks along the campus.He is one of those true ardent supporters of sachin for whom sachin is god and I loved pulling his legs on this.I am happy he got for which he had been working since his college days.I am sure he will excel in this field and wish his dreams come true:) wish you Vaibhav all the best for your future and I am waiting for your visit in Ahmadabad :):) ...KOTHARI ABHISHEK BHARAT

The stock market just crashed! Surprise Surprise! Vaibhav Jain just took all his money out of the market and sold all his shares. The rise and fall of of the Stock markets are bigger events for him than other rises and falls I believe(:P)! Oh and another fall, the fall of Sachin Tendulkar for 74, don’t I hate you for meeting me halfway up the stairs and telling me about his dismissal. From sharing the same floor in the hostel, to sharing our love for cricket to sharing our love for Mahabharat, Ramayana and BIceps 22 Clash, we have had some fun moments which would surely be missed. Stay in touch Vaibhav, one day I might beat you in Dalal Street! ...SUKHAD CHATURVEDI

Secy Sahab!! No one could have handled VC better and you know how much that means. You are smart, well-informed and have excellent knowledge about the markets. Working with you in VC was an absolute pleasure. You handle situations well and have a very stable head. How you would get up at 8:45 and be o the bolt after your late night coffee sessions still surprises me!! Always be the same. That you will do really well in DB, I have no doubt!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

God level senior...kuch choda hi ni finance mai..but still the most humble, respected and helpful senior on campus..i wish i had spoken or in our MBA jargon “networked” with you earlier!! :) it was very inspiring to talk to you and motivating to hear how you have acquired the wealth of knowledge and the passion for finance that you have!! Seriously ek insaan itna kuch kaise kar sakta h and phir bhi itna down to earth..hats off!! :) :) Needless to say i am sure you will continue this legacy wherever you go..all the very best!! :) Please stay in touch..though hum toh DB mai bhi milenge hi!! ;) and maine jo apko GS ke baare mai bola tha, woh yaad rakha!!! :) :D lots of luck and good wishes!! :) :)...BHAVAYA GUPTA

Tujhe kya likoon yar..tu IPM aur FPM se milne to aata hi rahega..hehe :P :P BTW, you are really a very nice person and a great friend. I wish you loads of luck and LOVE..lol...payal anand

Finally, I get to write a testimonial for you :p There could not have been a better person but you, who I could have met at IIM-I. You have been the greatest support throughout. From VC meetings almost a year back to our campus walks now, from the ‘serious VC related talks’ then to full on time pass now, from the ‘hardly few minutes’ meets to ‘more than an hour long’ meals in the mess, in all this time,I have known you as a much different person than how you might seem to be to most people- Not just

a dedicated, hard working, dead serious & super punctual fin guy, but someone who is also very humorous, short tempered (yes, u r :p) and values friendships and relations deeply! From a strict secy to an even more strict brother, there have been so many, like SO MANY moments which I would cherish throughout my life. You have been an inspiration for me (and for many others, I am sure!). A person who has taught me many things, not just finance lessons but valuable life lessons too :D :p (trust me, it is you who has channelized my interest for finance); made me laugh with his not-so-stupid jokes whenever I came to him saying “mujhe sad feel ho raha hai bhaiya”; helped me at each and every stage; gave solutions and strategies for each problem of mine! My life at Planet I wouldn’t have been the same and awesome without you, brother! Poha in the evening, Pi Shop visits at night, coffee and chocolate during walks, Jain food in the mess, screenshots of mails, laughing at nothing for hours..and the list goes on and on! I am going to miss you the mossst here Bhaiya!! Though the strictest but the best of all, you are surely one of the most special persons in my life! I love you so very much bhaiya!!!:) :) :) Will miss you a lotttttt and even more!!!:’(...Palak Gupta

Every time I attended one of your VC sessions I would come back determined to study more of finance, learn more of stocks market and what not. Such interesting sessions you held that even a finance retarded soul like me was inspired. You were one of the most knowledgeable people in the campus with the passion to pass this knowledge. It was great knowing you and wish would have interacted more often with you. Thank you for guiding all this while and please do stay in touch. All the very best for your future. :-)...ANKITA

Secy saab :) No one could have done a better job as the secretary of Voyage Capital than what you have done. VC owes almost 80% of its success to you. Fin God to tu hai hi, ladkiyon k beech popular bhi aur ab to DB me bhi dhamaal machayega hi. We have shared so many times together now... and not just VC related but otherwise as well.

We have shared secrets together, our fears and apprehensions too.

You gave me sleepless nights after your truly-felt comment on my resume. I think that somewhere made me prepare my best for placements which going by my track record of prep before exams, would not have happened. You have handled things so well so far but you need to improve some of your OB skills for sure. Sometimes, straight speaking can be troublesome. I hope you know this well now :D. In all,

you are a great guy to be with. I will miss the long talks we had on stocks and various situation at hand. Be in touch :)...VIVEK THEBARIA

Apart from the Placom I cannot think of any other guy on campus who has touché the life of so many people. From IPM to FPM every body is a fan of him and adore him. To be frank, I donâ??t remember how we started interacting (may be through a common friend: P) but I thank God for this friendship, as it is one the best things that has happened to me at IIM-I. I guess it all started with the second section party at Delhi Grillâ?¦well what a party that was : P As I came to know more and more about you through our various discussions on movie, music, cricket and girls and I were pretty amazed by the way our thinking matched. We like the same kind of music, same kind of movies and same kind of girls (barring the one: P). At IIM Indore Vaibhav is the Muhammad of Finance and his room is the Mecca. You would find his room filled with people asking for help just before the MAC/FIN exams and even after exams he would be surrounded by people providing them solace by giving them the answers. I know that there is a self-interest behind this tooâ?¦. because of this he got chance to teach girls (from IPM, PGP, FPM) and he would be the make other jealous by roaming with them around the campus :P â?º An ardent fan of Sachin, he remembers each and every match that Sachin has played and each and every video that has Sachin in it. It is because of his dedication and hard work that Voyage Capital has reached new heights and has become â?? the clubâ?? of IIM Indore. Vaibhav I have full faith in you that you would achieve your dream of becoming a portfolio manager and of owing an Audi R8. I have learned a lot from you not only finance but also about dealing with life and its complexities. I really enjoyed the late night walks and discussions with you. Thank you for being thereâ?¦well I cannot say goodbye! because â??picture abhi baki hai mere dostâ?¦..â?? Wishing you all the luck and success in lifeâ?¦ and I know we will be in touch: P :P ...ABHIKET GAURAV

Jain Saab! You are the most talented and practical person in our batch.

Aapse to dosti pahle term se hi hai, thanks to the proximity of our hometowns. You are one of the most hardworking, dedicated, and optimistic person I met at IIM Indore. I remember investing some amount in VC because of the confidence I saw in you and you gave more than expected returns on that investment. I enjoyed your company in term two when we were in a group. It was you who did most of the works in our group. You were the savior fur us on many occasions. I remember the moment you gave me hope and motivation in the last term. Thanks for being such a

good friend of mine. Wish you all the best for you bright future. Be in touch and do come to my home and we will go to Ayodhya and visit some of the Jain Mandirs there. You will be missed....KAUSHLENDRA KUMAR

Baat krne ka mauka milta isse pehle he tum celebrity ban gye with your committed engagement with voyage capital. I remember in term 1, you were awake through better part of the night caught up by your work of VC, since then I have always respected your passionate attitude about your work. Though I always used to wonder why does this guy work so hard but then hard work has paid in the long run inevitably. All of us know all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and here is our own Vaibhav known for intercourse plays (read interaction with fairer s** from various programs in IIM I). On a serious note, your achievements, selfless dedication for taking VC to newer heights, fan following on campus and yet down to earth in life, always approachable, hobbies (read religion) about cricket and Sachin makes me sometimes feel jealous and think mai aisa kyun nahi hun. DB was expected from you, so here is wishing you brightest future ahead with countless and more meaningful achievements in life. Stay in touch !...

PRATEEK JAIN

Jain Jiii :D Very recently got to know you, thanks to Prakat ( Katiyar as you call him). I hope you have forgiven me for my masty in the first year. I have always seen you as someone mature and intelligent. You have been one of my Go-to people.Super sharp brain and always ready to help are two things that descirbe you. Very recently our friendship changed from a formal new one to an informal one.Just the thought of the masty we have at dinner table releases the stress of the day. The showtime group has become very dear to me and you have been an important part of it. Ab to khana hi nahi khaya jata till you all arent there. Also, I havent seen so many people who enjoy life so much yet manage their deliverables. Whatever little I know of you , Ive seen you totally bindaas and yet superb when it comes to Acads.

I wish aise hi we meet for more and more meals in future and laugh like we’re High :D Wish you all the success and happiness in life :)...

PALAK MAHANOT

Mr. Fund Manager! Like the reporter from the DNA newspaper commented that day, he is one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever come across and every conversation that you have with him

leaves a lasting impression on you. He is very good at heart, down to earth, fun-loving and an extremely helpful person. His cheerfulness and his good sense of humour never fails to amuse me. The fact that we landed up in all the bad courses together, he made it easy for me to sit through them :D I’m sure his intelligence, hardwork and dedication will take him to somewhere at the top and I wish him all the best for that. Please be in touch and keep rocking like you always do :)...AJITESH MEHTA

There’s a lot I’d like to say, but will pen down just a few things. :) From the beginning, you’ve been the most generous and kind senior. You’re one of those few persons who would walk up to people to touch their lives in the most kind way ever. You have been very helpful and supportive from the beginning, something I’m indebted to. As the farewell is approaching, and you have to leave this institute for better things in life, I wish you all the best for your future! May you continue to touch lives in the same way always! May you be happy forever! :) ...NIHARIKA SHARMA

Vaibhav sir.. my senior at Jaypee, you’ve been an inspiration for all the finance guys. I’ve spent some great time with you and your advice on certain matters has been really valuable. Over the 2 years, I’ve found a friend and a mentor in you. Hope to stay in touch you. ASll the best for DB \m/...

That along with your insightful sessions have made a big difference to the amount of enthusiasm in both batches for Finance. Good luck with the career ahead - the investment community needs people like you. Keep in touch!...Chandan Nikhil K

Hey Vaibhav - The guiding senior - My Facebook friend :). Thanks for all the guidance and support :). Believe me u are one of the bestest persons I ve met here :). So much to learn from u (not finance) as a person :). Very encouraging, extremely helpful :). It was a pleasure meeting u :). Will sure miss a senior like u :). And u rocked Voyage Capital !

Well, Vaishali is synonymous with Raavan... See her laugh and you will realize... u have been one constant source of gathering attention the whole of first year- be it ur CPs or laughter...Never ever allowed me to doze off also... (although I managed even then :P)... On a serious note, classes were fun because of u and I scored well because of u... U have been the most understanding and one of my closest friends, an eternal motivator for me... I will accuse some people for taking all ur time now a days :P Will always miss talking to u, sharing my feelings... Please be available on one call after college... else I will kill u...

Dear Mummy,.............................................................................................................

You were one of the first person I met in IIM Indore. Although our friendship started after you scolded me for free-riding in ISM assignments, you were of the best friends I made here. As per BETA KA KARTAVYA, I will always be by your side-wrong or right. I will miss our JUGAL-BANDI CPs and your treats too. FISH main apne haath se

bana k khilaunga.. pakka wada hai.. The best part about you is your honest nature and jolly heart, the laughter of a 5 year old child. Always wear it on you. Thanks for all the support and advice, you really helped this crude being of myself into a smooth transition to a B-school graduate.

As per MUMMY ki KARTAVYA, you will be needed for future consulting. be happy and my best for your future. Stay in touch. with love, BETA...

SANKALPA SARKAR

A wonderful person and a great companion to hangout with, I never thought that this girl would be so talkative when I first saw her. She has that endless energy and is always ready and up for anything that comes the way. I would fondly remember all those small hangouts that we had in second year. And yes your those gym sessions where you would give a tough competitions to some of the guys :P Your laughter that breaks out at any moment all this would be missed. You are such a foodie that you stand equal to babu on that. Those eating joints at JAM and poha at poha point all this makes the entire stay at campus memorable for me. Thanks for being a part of my this small journey. Wish you good luck for your future and stay connected :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Moms, What an insane transformation within a matter of days! Or was it just us? From the silent girl whose only act was a sweet smile for everything to the soul of any gathering or a party ; Little did I think of you in that way in the beginning.. Within a short time, you have become the â??mommyâ?? of our whole group... Itâ??s always fun to be around you, though you enjoy pulling our legs. Youâ??ve got an amazing sense of humour and everybody in our group has tough time matching yours. Of all the friends, you are the only one who has is girly in all aspects- fashion sense, accessories, poise and footwear (How can I even forget about your collection which is even bigger than the Pantaloon store in TI ï?? ). When it comes to studies, this cool, fashionable girl turns into a big stud with geeky spectacles showcasing a big Hermione in action. And sharing a desk with you during lectures is one of the most difficult things as I can never keep a straight face with all your giggles.. People know only of your studious and fashionable side but are not aware of your sporting abilities.

I was amazed to see your TT skills, will always cherish the few games I played with you..Moms forever, All the very best for your future and hope to see you as a brand manager some time soon.. ...ANUSHA BEESETTI

I got to know Vaishali when we worked together in a group in first year.. straight forward, stern and no bullshit while we were working.. late for a

group meeting?? get ready for a bashing from Vaishali :P a true professional. punctual.. This was Vaishali at work.. Take a look from different angle and she is a fun loving gal.. seen chilling out at all parties.. getting tattoos, weird hair colors.. she will always keep giving this little surprises to the people around her.. Keep up the spirits Vaishali and keep in touch :)...Parth Kosada

You first of all deserve a big treat for putting up with us :) Possibly one of the coolest gals I have met in my life. Great to hangout with.

The best part is you dont need to lookout for what you are speaking when she is around. A studious girl, gotta give it to you how you managed AMR :P One single responsible person in our group :) I hope you have all the happiness and success in your life..Stay in touch... cheers :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

A boring repetition, your laughing is most memorable and distinctive: P To be serious, it is not the laughing rather; it is your positivity and never-minding approach that is really appreciable. I used to be most tension free while talking with you. Having a talented barbie (most favorite in my daughters) in group was an added advantage :P You have been my assured companion on Saturday evening for movie, a sure source for ISM project report. well, a die-hard fan for my adarak-tea & egg-pizza too, and I enjoyed making the same for your appreciation. Will miss your laughing in coming days, and absence too ï?? Best of luck !!!...Vinod Kumar

The mommy of the group. I simply called her mommy because she was older than me :P . But I must say ...mommy you are the pathaka of the group. I found you very bold and honest.Takes good care of her children (me, deepu and anusha). I ate some great dishes in your company and with your support :D . You are fun mommy and can break any kind of tense situation with your trademark laughter. Even though you were very thin, it is very difficult to control you when you are ........intoxicated :D . You are also the jhansi ki raani of our group.

I remember out trip in nainital where we ditched the whole group and went on an adventure spree. A very mature and wholesome personality with a tinge of craziness thats mommy for you all. I hope we be in touch and you be my mommy away from home :) . PS: Mommy ki bachi you still owe me the rc car and you have not said anything about the star mark. ...B AVINASH GUPTA

Hey Vaishali, you seem to be very sorted in terms of your priorities. In work you are serious and diligent. Otherwise, you are fun and easy-going.

While i used to be running to get to class in time, you’d be there 5 minutes early, all the pre-reading done, clothes matching and not a hair out of place. Wish you the best!...SHREYA TANDON

I had a small interaction wid u during our MR project.. u came across as open hearted n fun loving person.. one of the first persons to get placed in this college.. N u carry ur own style.. keep it up! all the best n keep in tch.....RACHIT MITTAL

Ha Ha Ha,, This is how I can start!! :P :P Mumma, It has so much of fun with you around. You never sounded as old as you are :P :P The crazy days we have spent together, I treasure them for life. You have been the victim of my cooking experiments all the time. You are the one in our group who can be a most homely girl, a drama queen and a glamorous heroine. I love your 1 day leave policies, your tom and jerry fights with panda. I will definitely miss your boisterously laugh. I remember the CBN first class, when you had your spectacles on - The Nerd!! Oh my god, how I can even forget about the crazy shoe collection!!! I have always wondered how come a close friend of mine who is such a devotee to god :P :D HOP wouldn’t have been so much fun without your scary looks :P You are one of my dearest friends on campus! Love u mumma :*...Deepti Kalikivaya

In the brief time I have known you, I have really come to appreciate your ability to make friends easily because of your vivacious and yet down to earth nature, your sense of humor and your captivating smile. You are by far the prettiest and the most intelligent girl in planet-i . Go ahead and conquer the world! Wish you all the best for future....ABHISHEK CHAUHAN

“Beautiful” is the word :)...JAIPAL MANDYAL

Vaishali ~ the gal with an elegant dressing sense.....The way she carries herself is commendable.... Vibhuti n I nicknamed her Guru Maa ( she being the most ‘aged’ oops i mean ‘experienced’ amongst us) and Jal Mata (coz we would empty her water-bottle during lectures).... :P Because of her uncontrollable laughter, we were afraid to crack jokes in class.... Vaishali , you have been a close friend and a mentor ( :P ) for the past 2 years and hope you will continue to be in future.... It was you who brought a smile on our faces and made us laugh during lectures....I am glad to have you as a dear friend...I wish you all the luck, success and happiness in life....You will be missed :) so better keep in touch.....Cheers!!!!...KARAN RATHOD

CP queen. Jayasimhaâ??s favorite. Always wear different bright colours. Photo crazy. A distant relative of â??Archana puran singhâ??. I wish you all the best for future....HITESH KUMAR CHAND

I first knew Vaishali in our Brand management classes, she sincerely gave good CP and used to sit behind me. First I thought who is this kid and why she is talking so much, but as time spent and I knew her I learned that she is a very wise person. Very sweet, charming, studious and vibrant personality Vaishali is fun to hang out with. She brings in the charm and sweetness in the parties we had. It was nice knowing Vaishali and I will always remember and cherish the time we had together. I wish her all my best wishes and goodluck for her future endeavors!!! ...SAURAV DEMTA

The mysterious gal who will always read cases(god knows how), make CP (GLOBE :P), wear matching clothes with 1000 different variety of bags, always smile.. that vaishali for you.. It was gr8 to know you.. stay in touch.....KHAGESH KAUSHAL

SOURABH BAGLA

Heroine ;D...I cant imagine anyone on this campus more apt for this title..I remember meeting you for the first time during IV..you were this sensible, very prim & proper, no-nonsense girl..but soon I realized how fun-loving you are as a person too!..pizza hut, fresh-fruit swirl and TI will always remind me of you..besides you are a very smart individual who is sure to gain great heights in future..So all the best and don’t forget me! :D...

NIYATI JHUNJHUNWALA

Vaishu !! You are one amazing person to talk to. I cant believe we stayed one entire year on the same floor without saying Hi to each other ! And then summer internship happened and we became such good friends.

You are so bubbly and your laughter is so infectious. We had so much fun gossiping about so many things. I will always remember that time. Baaki toh delhi mein milte rahenge. All the best for your future and have stay in touch :)...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Staying in the same hostel wing most of our memories are of bumping into each other in the corridor and then talking about things in life, you giving me tips for the exchange term ;) I remember looking at ur room which used to be spic and span always and wondering how you kept it so neat always. As for our section connections, I had thoroughly enjoyed ur company, ur comments and dialogues on the random conversations we kept having. I remember you being among those sincere students who would pre-read for every lecture and keep putting CPs! But u also acted as the saviour for the class this way.. It was great knowing you and hope to stay in touch with u. All the best for ur career in Con-Agro.. and hope to see u in Gurgaon sometime :)...NEHA KANWAL

Some great times with you during the first year. I will fondly remember your infectious laughter, the constant CP, the admiration for prof jayasimha and the weird nail polishes :P and your sense of fashion. I made only one mistake while getting to know you in the first term where I accidentally asked you if you had worked in hyderabad. Ever since then, I have been the subject of the stupid telugu girl jokes :D Nevertheless, it was great fun during the entire first year. Have a great career and a wonderful life. Do keep in touch!...KARTHIK HARIHARAN

VART

Vartika: One of the most studious girl of IIM Indore ;). Hehe. Don’t worry. it’s not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of people can mug but a few can understand :P Especially a quality hard to find in girls. But you really surprised me :D. Not everytime you find a girl who is a real genius :). Anyways, A great friend. I really had a great time with you at IIM Indore. And you are a real life saver. From lending me your notes of Retail Banking to helping me out so much during DB interviews. I would always owe you a big big treat. One thing I found really cute about you was your urge to party and go on every outing and then feeling guilty that you are not studying enough. hehe. Just pulling your leg, something which I always did :). Always be the happy-golucky person you are. HSBC main sabki band toh bajane hi wali hai.

I don’t think you need luck on your end. A person as hardworking as yours would always succeed :). I hope you always stay in touch. Keep sending those forwards :). One Confession, Whenever I see anything related to Alok Nath it always reminds me of you. (Time to say awwwww :P)....Ishan Rishabh Kansal

Vartika....the most studious girl in my section. Our first interaction was during T-Nite rehearsal. Was amazing to see the girl who was topping in every subject and hell....every component could sing Bengali songs so easily once given the instructions.One big thanks to you for reuniting me with some of my old buddies during summer internship. Hope you took the birthday treat from your “chippush” roomie :P. Batana nahi use, toot padegi mujh pe fir. The epitome of “sanskari ladki”, she had one tough time when our assignment group for Retail Banking was the same - laggard that I am. Know that you will rock at HSBC, luck is something you hardly need. It was great sharing the same class-

room with you for one year and several electives. Hope that our paths cross again in the future. Cheers!...MAINAK BHOWMIK

Initially I used to call you as Vartika 84 (topper you were from NSIT)â?¦ Then I started to know more about you that you are a cool person as wellâ?¦. Kaafi kuch to tumne apne FB statuses se explain kar hi diya hai sabkoâ?¦ Very frank and down-to-earth personâ?¦ Do stay in touchâ?¦ Wishing you all the success in life.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

Prof: So could someone summarize the case for me? Vartika (raising her hand): So, the case is set under the context of ....which implies that...the major issues being... and the firm must therefore do... Prof (thinking in his mind): She pretty much told everything I had in mind for the entire class.

And the Prof thus started Globing! Most call you studious, however I feel you are more sincere than studious. Be it acads of extra-currics (remember, we were together in the Junior CI team). The best part about Vartika however, according to me, is the way she has transformed herself (though she claims she was always like this). Quite contrary to what I felt earlier, Vartika you are really extremely cool to hang out with and I just hope we had more chances to work together. Wishing you all the success in life!...

RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Vartika, my fellow first bencher, is one of the most sincere people I have met. With a slight frown on her face and her glasses on, she gives CPs which just blow away professors’ minds. But behind these nerdy glasses, lies a straightforward girl who is very helpful and great fun to be with.

Wish you all the best for future. Stay in touch!...TRISHLA

This girl took the adage â??Laughter is the best medicineâ?? way too seriously as a kid. That is why every time you think of Vartika, the picture that comes to your mind is Vartika laughing her heart out. Frankly I donâ??t know you too well. But one thing I know for sure, and that is the people who laugh loud and frequently are really good at heart, and I can surely tell that about you. Have fun, stay blessed and always be cheerful just the way you are :)...ISHAN BOSE

Timsi- you are one of the most studious girls I have ever met... and I am sure you will do very well in future as well.. Behind those spectacles lie a pair of eyes which are way too mature, with a thought of plan for the future.. you have a humble yet defined opinion All the best, and stay in touch :)...SAURABH KUNWAR

Bachpan me suna tha ki “Pran jaaye par vachan na jaaye” par yahan aakar dekha ki “Pran jaaye par marks na jaaye” :P Introducing Vartika Aggarwal- the padhaku ladki, the networking queen, the ghummakad, the mumma’s girl. I think that’s enough of introductions. I first took notice of Vartika when she scored more marks than Ishan and me in our first ever accounts quiz. As much as we were ashamed of ourselves(waste BBA’s), we were amazed of this girl. Anyways, after several bakar sessions, outings, movies etc. doctors have certified that Vartika is as normal as any of us :P, a girl who just wants to have a good time. Working with her in Utsaha was a special experience, and also discussing trivial to big issues in room or night mess. Endowed with a lovely smile, she is bound to go places. I just hope you allow me to use a few of your connections for my benefit. C ya till we meet again :) ...APAL

The first girl jo meri friend bani after coming to college. Bhokaal to starting se hi set tha iska, with the name of NSIT topper and you maintained your repo here too. Ever ready for every masti but sometimes padhaku dimaag iska comes in the way of masti then some external force is needed to resolve her brain-heart conflicts :D. A very helpful and an innocent person. The only problem she faced as she mentioned it like umpteen times that her positioning went wrong in college :D and to reposition herself everybody know how she used (or uses) FB as her communication medium :D (Now, this was no secret :P). I donâ??t know but somehow she gets whiter day by day. Let everything apart, all in all I can say that it is nice knowing you and hope ki future me bhi hum tmhari leg pulling karte rehenge :D. And donâ??t worry, u ll get your Mr. Perfect someday soon ;). Have a great life ahead and stay in touch. â?º...PRAKHAR KATIYAR

Vartika, you are most sweetest and the MOST caring friend I have on campus. The most distinct thing about you is that you give importance to everyone’s smallest issue also and this is why you have so many fans :) One thing I don’t like about you is that you think too much and because you think too much you stay lost all the time :P I remember all the times we’ve spent together during our time in Indore and I will cherish them forever. Hope to stay in touch with. Wish you all the best for your career and hope you find the best guy :P Aur shaadi pe to tujhe bulana hi padega :P \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Vartika, you are the most fun person to be with. Utsaha would have

never been the same without you.i am going to miss you and your twisted love life discussions. Goodluck for your life ahead. I know you’ll do really well...SNEHA MAZUMDAR

The first time you were registered in my mind was when you were searching for a ‘BANIYA VARR’ ;-) hehe..I hope and pray your search ends very soon! :P To all the jokes we had, no no I am not talking about the ‘Apal and You’ joke, I still consider that there was something more concrete in that ;). We have worked on a project together and I did get impressed by the determination with which you work and the efforts that you put in to achieve the success. While writing this, the thing which came to mind was the way you prepared for your PPI, I mean I was so sure that you will crack it for sure and you did, you actually proved the old saying that ‘success doesn’t come easy’ and one has to earn every bit of it. We were together in Utsaha as well and there have enjoyed a lot with you! I wish you all the success for your future endeavours and pray to God that he gets you your ‘Perfect Banker’, the one that you have been eagerly waiting for ;-) Stay in touch! :)...PRAKARSH AREN

The sweetest, cutest girl in our batch. The kind who’d make you want to adopt her :P Still a kid at hear though of late, she’s started showing signs of growing up :D She’s always happy and cheerful, and always makes sure to spread the cheer around. She might look lost at first, but trust me, she’s VERY smart, and very intelligent. Very lethal combo to get you killed if you don’t tread softly :P Though we didn’t have a lot to do together, I’ve always cherished the little conversations we’ve had from time to time.

You should have believed me when I told you that you’ll crack your interview!!! Take care and stay in touch :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

I remember this scared little girl having lunch alone a day after bakraâ?¦ Called her over, and started chatting. Later, she would tell me she thought I was some PGP2 ragging her! :P Thus begins my journey of knowing this absolute delight of a person Vartika! She is by far, the smartest, cutest, chirpiest, the most honest person Iâ??ve ever known. Ever. Simple, sweet, and pure-hearted, you have missed out on something special at IIM-I if you havenâ??t known Vartika! On your worst day, you can be assured that one chat with Vartika and itâ??ll be all goodâ?¦ Aur ye sab to tab tak tha till she was in her sensesâ?¦ Ek baar her senses leave her, tab to bhagwaan bachaaye aap ko! :P Extremely particular about her acads, I remember her haunting me to ask quiz ka syllabus and what not for MOS. There was once a time when Iâ??d call her â??Savaa chaarâ?? for her tendencies to

score 4.25s in gradesâ?¦ And then since the padhaaku phase there has been the â??Haaye main singleâ?? phaseâ?¦ Chill maar Vartix, koi na koi hot investment banker mil hi jaayega tujhe! But you have to give it to Vartika, even when she cribs, she is mind-blowingly entertaining!

There is an extremely small number of people who can laugh at themselves and their shortcomings. This chota-packet is one of them. Vartika, you are quite possibly my dearest friend on campus. You will most definitely be missed more than all others. And I hope that we can stay in touch in the coming years! I wish for you all the happiness in the world! Just keep entertaining people, and enjoy! :)...PARTH KAPOOR

Vartika! HSBC gave me the wonderful opportunity of knowing you and spending some quality time with you. Your achievements speak volumes about your dedication and sincerity! You are so easy to talk to and hang around with! I am fortunate to have found a great friend and mentor in you :)Look forward to following your footsteps! HSBC will just get bigger and better with you as part of it now!Hereâ??s wishing you lots of success in the years to come :)...RAKHI SHARMA

After meeting you, it was very difficult to consider you as my senior :p You were easily the most bindaas of our seniors - always bubbly, chirpy and full of energy. Had great fun during Utsah! HSBC main jaa kar change mat hona. Remember ‘phool si’? :p You have been a good friend and I hope to keep in touch with you :) All the best for your future :) ...AYUSH GUPTA

My first interaction with u was after I had just gotten into HSBC, and after that meeting I couldn’t help but think how the hell did I not meet up with u earlier! :P Later being together in Utsaha helped me know more about u and realize the truly sweet and hardworking person u are. You have always helped me and guided me whenever I needed your help.

You have been hands down one of my best seniors ever. I really can’t help but admire u and ur achievements. But more than that u are such a friendly, wonderful and easily approachable person. Always stay that way and never lose that lovely smile :). Hope we never lose touch :) All the Best! ...ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

You are one of the smartest and most studious friends of mine.. Afterall you stay next to Nidhi :P Initially, I thought you were not that fun to hang out with.. But after RIP trip, I realised that you are so amazing..

Another chatterbox :P One thing I love the most about you is that

you always make me smile.. whenever I feel like hearing something good about me.. I knock your room :P And I feel even better seeing your room that there is someone more messier than me :P I wish you were with us during HOP also..it would have been more fun! I will miss our girl talks..

How we used to sit in your room (Thodi der baith jaa :P)and chat for hours and hours.. even 3-4 hours seemed to be less :( Always Stay Cool and Keep in touch :D I do not need to wish you luck...because I am so sure that whatever you do..you will do it so perfectly that no one can beat you then :D Love you!...SONAKSHI SAINI

Vartika, you are one of the sweetest persons that I have ever met. You are very humble, kind, down to earth and an extremely dedicated person.

You helped through when no one else did. Your mentorship helped me a lot to overcome the challenges at campus and beyond. Iâ??m thankful to Anisha (BCC) because of whom I found not only a great friend but a super human being. I will be missing you a lot and your advice in smallest of the things. I hope you achieve all your dreams and be successful in all your future endeavors :) SIDDHARTH GOVIL ...SIDDHARTH GOVIL

I knew a girl till the first 5 terms, who was studious, dedicated, focused and was no nonsense gal. But the Vartika that I knew in the 6th term was a totally different one! And she is one bundle of energy! Simple, beautiful and dedicated! And pagalpanti ki hadd! I really hope I had known you better in the previous terms, bahut maza aata! Stay happy sweets! Wish you all the best in life!...NATASHA ARUN KUMAR

My Industrial Visit group mate...the then bubbly cute and now samajhdaar also girl......fun to chat with you during the bus rides to Dewas....you are one of the smartest person on campus......good friend with a helping nature and never-die attitude....All the best in life :)...ANSHU KUMAR

I think i first met you during our HSBC GD round... You were a girl with mission that day...ultra serious face and spoke for almost 30-40% of the time.. From then onward and talking with mutual friends, I got to know that I will be having easily the most dedicated and hardworking person on the campus...This was confirmed when you had come to study QT topics which I didn’t had even started for the exam and you had a copy full of notes..We started interacting a bit just before the intern and thereafter we became very good friends...the time spent at Mumbai was a very memorable one (although you were ultra busy with your work :P )...You are a very competitive, sincere ,persistent and hardworking individual and

your these qualities will help you achieve great heights. I owe you a lot, as you along with Parasharjiand Nidhi had helped a lot for my final preparations as well as filling out the numerous forms which I told I didn’t care just fill it :P :P. Thanks a lot for everything and hope to stay connected with you in future :) :)...UDIT BOKARIA

Vartika is a really sweet and sincere person. Right from NSIT, I know her to be a really hard working person. She is very friendly, approachable and fun to be with. I really admire how she goes out of the way to help people. Vartika, I am really glad that I could get guidance and help from you during my 1st year at IIM Indore. Thank you so much.Take care and Keep in touch :) ...SAHIL SANDEEP SALUNKE

Sunshine, rainbows, hugs and smiles! You, Vartika, are one of those whom I could call on a dark gloomy day to it brighten up by just lending an ear to all my problems. A perfect shopping partner and an even better company for night mess. Thank you for that first time when I dropped by your room to share my problems. We didn’t know each other so well then. But, I knew instantly that you are someone that I could trust without a doubt. Thank you for that time when you missed your lecture to spend and afternoon with Sid and me. Thanks you for many more times when I just needed to look at someone like you and know that everything is okay. :) I will miss you so much. Loads of love and wishes! ...NAMRATA LOHAT

PINGUUU :* I dont know how these two year passed away so fast, and humne ab shopping pe jana shuru kia :P You are so innocent (yet equally dirt minded like me ) cute, energetic and interested in everything happening in campus! by far the most social girl I have met.Your presence makes me feel like a child is taking care of me. Yes people get surprised that you call me choti :D but yes you are very understanding and I love that about you. Not just a sincere student, you also are a party freak who brings us all together. The fun we have had on RIP, term 6 in class, candy crush, ruzzle, plannign for JAM, flashmob last year etc are the most cherished moments. Teri shaadi tak wel keep discussing guys (hopefully not after that ) :P I still dont know the mystery behind those chocolate cakes hope ki kabhi pata lagega :D Il really miss you after IIM, but we surely will meet in delhi :* All the best for life, love you... from your choti :D...PALAK MAHANOT

Vartikaaa! You are THE most honest and innocent person i have ever

met. Those long discussions we had about your potential suitors made me learn a lot about women psychology :P i am really going to miss your squeaky voice and your ability to fall in love so often :D stay in touch, always :)...NITIN VERMA

Vartika, the first memory of yours has been the MyC pre-process on the field where a couple of us guys had to lift you up to get you on the other side of the string. What started from there, I never knew I would find a great friend in you in the times to come. Yes most ofpeople would refer to you as Studious, but I have always found you fun and masth to talk to.

I was very impressed how you easily put your trust on Nitin and me and went on discussing things a girl would normally not. I can ensure you in written you shall never regret laying your trust on us. Your in-the-face attitude, your still trying to line marofy on me and throw sporadic flirtatious remarks are really endearing. You are honest, innocent, kind and helpful.

I still remember how after your every visit to Delhi, you got back for me delicious Mithais; remember the ‘Chena Murgi’ you got?! That was really sweet of you!..:). yes I shall miss you for your sweet and humble nature forever. Hope to be in touch. Take care. Cheers..:-)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Vartika.. Hahaha.. I can imagine your face right about now moving from end to end giggling.. I have to say, in terms of taking peoples’ cases, you have been my biggest victim.. In fact I hardly remember of any conversation where I did anything else but take your case... RIP, class, mess or just randomly passing you while you hit on seniors with large packages (I leave it to the reader to interpret)... I always imagined you getting married right about this time but that’s not happening so I am forced to come up with other jokes! By the way, this leg pulling has actually brought out the more creative side of me... And “darling/sweetheart” don’t feel bad that I did not agree to marry you.. You know I am anyway there for your side fun... Remember the whole mail search for endearments? Haha... And ya, your wearing my cap in the pictures above and I had to get it dry cleaned because of that! Haha.. You have fun at HSBC, I hear office romance is even more thrilling! Till we meet next and I take your case, see you.....

Minnie Mouse-that’s the first thing that comes to mind when anybody mentions you...you have this sweet little voice and a sweet personality to go with it....we interacted during the RMS assignment and it was fun...you laugh easily and freely and are quick to pull somebody’s leg....your dedication and efficiency is admirable! Do keep in touch and all the best at HSBC! ...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

First impression - Nerdy, Second impression - Still nerdy. Now I can say she is a bit nerdy and a bit cool (though she tries very hard to prove that she is so cool :D). I know you since bakra time and at that time I got to know that you are hardworking, kind of ghissu. Then came your rona-dhona and all :P. Enough of jokes, you are cute, innocent, honest and very down to earth person. Although I keep on pulling your leg whenever I see you, you are hardly bothered by it (I think you got used to it :p). It amuses me when you try so hard to get back at me. All in all you are a bindaas, fun loving person who sometimes is confused but very good at heart. I wish you stay like this forever. And don’t worry, ghar wale to kisi ko dhund ki lenege ;). Stay in touch and don’t forget to smile once a while :)...Tushar Gupta

Vartika, the padaku, the person who would clarify exam dates, syllabus with profs two times to just be sure :D She vehemently opposes our naming her a padaku or a ‘sweet’ girl but the truth is tht for me atleast you.d always remain the sweet innocent girl of our class! A friendly person, vartika has a heart of gold, always praising people and seeing the best in them (apart from the near anger she has for Aditya :P). The amount of hard work she puts in is admirable. Be the amazing person you are! All the very best for your career ahead! :)...ESHWAR M S

Vartika, I am always going to remember you for that one spontaneous night out plan in Mumbai. It was one of the best experiences I had during internship. We chatted our way to the morning, taking Parth’s case like anything. :D I really think that we should have more of such nights. :) I find you an extremely straight forward, fun loving and caring girl. You are extremely helpful, be it for saree location or helping in catching a bus from TI. The eternal smile on your face and sweet chatter are your USPs. Don’t ever lose it. i think you are a sweet heart. Stay in touch. God Bless. :) ...SWATI VERMA

Vartika, you are the funniest person I met on the campus, someone who was really enjoying her MBA program :P During Utsaha we had a lot of fun while crafting games; you would shout at us for completing the work but at the same time help us most with your creative skills. Utsaha would not have been a great experience without you. Wish you all the luck and always remain as you are :)...MOHITE SUMIT SHARAD

One of the cutest senior with whom I never got a chance to interact much but wished I had got an opportunity to do so. Wish u all the very best for future.. and keep smiling always :-) Stay in touch and have a great life ahead :-) :-)...ANKITA

Vartika! A typical Bollywood bubbly girl who never goes out of energy.

Once she starts chit chatting, ‘iska petrol kabhi khatam nahi hota’ :D She is one of the most caring, helpful, sweet and friendly persons I have come across till now and she can go to any level to help anyone out, which is what I really admire about her. I have shared some of my best moments in the campus with her, be it at RIP, HOP, innumerable dinner parties, mess, and of course at what she calls the living room (Ajju’s room). I don’t think I will ever forget the retail banking concepts that she taught me. She has the ability to make any atmosphere lively with her presence. No doubt that with her personality, giant social circle and dedication she will fetch all the

success in life and I wish her all the best for that! I’m sure we will be in touch. Cheers! :)...AJITESH MEHTA

‘Ich’ is now synonymous with you Vartika, and you’re that one person who’s innocent, bubbly and cheerful almost every time I meet you.

Your smile and expressions when w you say “kya yaar” are priceless!

You’re too innoent and cute for the corporate world, but I’m sure you’ll do very well considering how smart and hardworking you are! I will always cherish the moments spent showing you around South Mumbai, and will also remember the “OK BYE Bhaiya!” that you said to the cab driver. You’re one gem of a person and be sure that I’ll stay in touch...

Tc n ich liebe dich! :P :-)...Raoul Lopes

Good cricketer. I always get smile when I hear your style of saying ok as “ooae”â?¦ Photo lover. Never gets tired of giving pose for pics :) . Many say your dancing is awesome to watch ;) . On the contrary to his easy going attitude, sometimes he speaks about philosophical things like what is life and other thoughts of life..which amazes me.. I would always cherish the moments we spent together, in college or RIP or HOP... I wish you all the very best for all your future endeavors..Have a great life..Keep in touch !!!...SURESH MALLULA

I first met bobby during bakra time when we were in the same room. But it was in the second year that I really got to know you. As floor mates we would often bump into each other and our interactions would go beyond the pleasantries into full fledged bakar :P I shall always remember you as a cheerful and fun-loving friend who always wore a smile on his face. Good Luck and Cheers :)...ANAND MALHOTRA

Still remember our meeting on the joining day(D-block parking lot) :D Funloving, outgoing and helpful guy who always carries a smile on his face.. available to play cricket anytime :) All the best for your future :)...B.NIRUN

Bobby... from where should i start.. we are the two most vella people on the campus.. :P be it playing cricket with you guys (just batting though) ;), bunking classes just to go out to eat :P... late night movies.. those were fun times that made my stay here at planet-I a more bearable and enjoyable one.. i particularly enjoy introducing you to fine food.. :P even though you have no taste for it! ;) well.. now that we are finally leaving this crappy academic world.. and venture into a more crappy professional world, this leisure and vella time will be the one i will cherish and miss for a long time to time.. and will definitely miss all the ‘gyaan’ that i tried to give you when you made a big fool of me.. jackass!! :P stay like this always.. calm and cool.. a child at heart.. and please never grow up! :P P.S. I am looking forward to exploring the corners of hyderabad with you again.. see ya soon.. ciao.. :)...BYRISETTY SUSHMITHA

The first impression he gives is a friendly nature and it is true. With a smile on his face and always ready to chat, a very friendly guy and a nafees loyalist. I can say that he is photo lover who never gets bored of taking photos. All the best for your future and see you soon in hyderabad :) P.S:

I hope you finish shiva trilogy by the end of year :P...K GOUTHAM

Though we were in the same section for a year I got to know bobby better when we worked together for farewell and freshers events. A meticulous planner, responsible and friendly guy. A cricket enthusiast.

I will miss Your prawn pickle dude :) wishing you all the happiness and success in life...cheers :)...RAJENDRA BABU MELLAM

bobby.. met you first along with Chinna Raja on joining day..had nice time during our cricket matches at F-block. I would remember our silly rivalry (even though we don’t have anything really against each other :D) you are good friend, sweet talkative person, fun loving, easy going, chubby photo king :P wish you all the best fo r future.. God bless and keep in touch.. :) ...GATTU CHARLES RAJ

It has taken time to build rapport with u.. But in due time we have become very close. I feel i should have been this close to you right from 1st sem :) The most important thing i’ll miss about u is playing cricket alongside. Rarely people find comfort when another person is playing together. We hit it right from the very first match. We had a amazing time. Especially playing under heavy rain or playing from 9pm to 4am :) We never gave up. One thing I admire about you is the importance you give to your family. I have learnt a lot regarding that aspect. and you are one hell of a chatter box. ammailu better nekanna :D Had great time esp in the night mess, making fun in opp and other classes in 5th and 6th sem. I know I can call u up any day in the future and talk to u as i am doing today. I know u’ll take purvankara to new levels along with NS :D :D Keep up the hardwork. I know u’ll do great in the coming years. Wish you all the very best. and how can i forget our love towards sachin! One thing is for sure, when i play cricket in the future i’ll miss you every single time. Good luck!...YASARAPU VAMSIKRISHNA

I knew you through second term group assignments...You always have a bright smiling face... :) Despite looking all innocent and having a soft voice, you often pull others’ legs :P You are a warm person and your close group of friends makes me think this nature of you has helped you win friends easily. :) Wish you all the best in life :)...V. DARSHANA

Bobbyyyy!! :D he is a cool headed, soft spoken, energitic and passionate guy. He is a marathon speaker who would tell stories continuously if you have time. His admiration for cricket (esp. SRT) is unquestionable, I would have been beaten to death in this issue :D. On the other side he is caring and always there to help when needed. Organizer for all our small parties and events at IIM. I see a good leader in him. All the best for your future :)...JAGADEESH PUTTA

Vishal

Vyas

Vishal, as i know him, has always been in some crisis or the other :P. Yet, he somehow manages to excel in whatever he does from IAC to ITC, List of his acheivements is big and his dreams even bigger....

Management, civil service, entrepreneurship, politics...pata nhi kya kya karna hai :P Personally, I know him from day 1 (courtesy BAKARA). However, it took me a week to discover that he had the highest CAT percentile in our campus. At that point, I was blown away with his modesty. But soon enough , I realized that he wasnt as modest as I initially thought. On the contrary, he wants credit for watever he does and loves being pampered (blame his family for that :P). He even feels boastful about the number of likes on his fb profile pic :P Bahut bolta hai..class k andar bhi aur bahar bhi. Aur kabhi galti se lunch/dinner pe mil gaya toh, at leat 1 hour ka agenda hoga. There is absolutely no end to his problems. And since India has endless problems, he would never be at a loss of topics to discover. Facebook toh iska second love hai. All in all, he is a very hard working and helping person with a good soul.People on this campus no this, and respect him for the same. My best wishes for ur future. Have some peace. (I enjoy pulling ur leg.. couldn’t resist that in this msg b:P)...SHOBHNA SHRUTI

Vishal, thank you for giving me the best moments of working in a team. There was lot to learn from you, how managed things. I hope you retain all your qualities and reach some great heights. Wish you all the best....ARJIT AGARWAL

Hey Vishal It was fun working with yourself and Rohit....congrats in managing AHVAN’13 ops team work successfully.... One of the nicest guy to talk to from PGP-2, learned a lots of things working as junior

member of ops team....The thing that i liked most about you bro is the balance -: down to earth nature and at the same time authoritative when required....Best moment was when we hung the banner on SR-10 roof 0400 hrs.... and when i had some argument with some PGP-2 guy and you stood by my back.... Don’t change much(be the dude that you are.....just that sometimes you take too much pain for the work in hand). All the best for your future endeavors...and keep in touch .....RAHUL DUTT

The marketing CHAMPu :P never shy of giving a CP irrespective of being the butt of all jokes related to same. N ya indeed some of the insights were really insightful ;) a very sporting guy, ready to take up all responsibilities thrown at you and one of the few ppl who werenâ??t jus bothered abt their own selves.. Did pull ur leg a lot specially AMR classes but that was cuz I knew u dint take it to heart.. the arguments btwn u n malhotra were entertaining to say the least.. FMCG group in case u donâ??t remember :P.. a veryactive member of all the clubs/committees u have been part of but I guess ur visibility is unparallel wen it comes to facebook :P cudnt refrain myself to using marketing jargons.. ater all its on ur page, so thoda toh banta hai :P Though u dint clinch a summer internship role of the level u wud hv bn expecting but surely u more than made up for it wid the final placements ;) In a jist it was fun interacting wid u n hop u keep rising up ur career ladder in future :):)...KRIT DOSHI

Vishal â?? The Essay writer of planet I. Bhaisahab...I guess youâ??ll win any competition related to article, essay writing at any point of time. Our first interaction happened quite late...during summer placements....in cognizant process. Thereafter we have been good friends. I remember all the competitions/assignments that we were part of...and the effort put by you in these events...okkk let me ask you one question.....what is the secret behind your success in Individual participation competitions?..... samajhdaar ko eshara hi kaafi hai... :P...Jokes apart you are hardworking person for sure...the IIC, PORs and everything else you were part of were all success. We had many arguments over various issues but at the end it was all fun.... I enjoyed working with you at planet-I .. All the best for your career......Cheers !! P.S. I hope your laptop will work just fine in future if we happen to work together in the same company..... : P Bhai bulna matt.... Keep in touch !! ...ANIKET YEVALKAR

Weâ??ve had awesome fun together in class.Fondly remember teasing him for the excessive â??mobile chattingâ?? during classes in our first year.Always cheerful, has a heart of gold (i think).....will help you out

STRICTLY VEGITARIAN..literally :P he is knowledgeable..helpful in nature..a true friend..Vyas, u hv a vry bright future ahead..all d best :) b in touch buddy.....ABHISHEK N MAHAJAN

We came in touch during HOP..mostly via my interest in ur cap :P I admire the paramount levels of energy that you exhibit..a never ending desire to remain involved in something productive. We share common political inclinations and similar thought process. One of the best news for me in the Final Placements was u getting into ITC..as I think that u truly deserve something as big as that. Many Many Congratulations once again ! I wish u all the very best. I need not say that we should keep touch because whenever I would open Fb...9 out of 1st 10 posts are going to be yours and I would be liking/commenting on them :D...

AYUSH AGARWAL

I remember reading your McKinsey essay and thinking ki bhai yeh banda alag hi level ki soch ka hai (your sometimes questionable CP notwithstanding ;P) You are extremely self aware of your strengths and weaknesses and are hands down one of the most hardworking guys I’ve come across on campus. All the best for your future :) Stay in touch :) ...CHAITANYA YESHWANT LELE

Vishal...the most sincere and hard-working guy of our batch...the guy with 99.91 percentile...and he loves flaunting that statistic :P ...jokes apart he is one of the best guys in the campus who is seen around mostly with girls (everytime a different girl :P) .....now seriously jokes apart ...hez a really studious guy and I respect the efforts that he has put in for the college being a member of IIC /\ He is a deep thinker and

his GK is quite something. One advice...thoda chill maarna seekh le...itna tension kyu leta hai Wish you a great life ahead and keep in touch :)...

CHINMAY NAHAR

I had spent great time with you both the times during ahvan. A very hardworking person i have ever come across and who is supremely talented to manage 4-5 PORs and acads and a fest all at the same time. May u continue with the same tempo and scale greater heights in the future :)...

KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Hmm.... (P.S. I don’t have your skills of writing so pardon me if the different sentences sound a bit disconnected, but lets see what i can manage).

I am blessed to be among your friends on campus. Originally knew you as a person who is always ready with CP but got to know much more about you during Ahvan’12, then those TT matches, then those rounds of cycling and long talks and then again Ahvan’13. I still am not very sure how you managed these many PORs, read all the cases, read a lot of stuff, write articles, win competitions and still managed to post on FB almost every hour. You really have an aye for detail and want everything to be perfect, be it a simple mail or the arrangements during Ahvan or the assignments.

Ahvan would not have been possible without you. I really appreciate the way you support members of your team and your friends. Respect! Just one advice- give yourself a break from the burden of expectations that you carry. Enjoy a bit more and learn not to take everything seriously! It’s been great to know you and work with you. I know we will stay in touch. Best of Luck!!...ROHIT KUMAR GUPTA

Vishal is an extremely hard-working guy, though we couldn’t work hard enough for any of the competitions that we enrolled in together. He has a flair for writing and has won innumerable prizes on campus for same. He is a simple guy, but is fun-loving. He is known for his CPs in class. It was great knowing you. Wishing you all the best for all your future endeavours! ...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

Vishal VYAS!! Almost 2 saal ho gaye logo ko realise karvane me k ek aur bhi Vishal hai..Vishal SHAH!! :P One of the most popular guy in the campus in my opinion. Also, very hard working, deep thinker and at the same time good bakar king :) Very few people can put such efforts to even minute things that you use to do. You have been achieving things due to your solid efforts and hard work and I respect you for that. bas thoda tension kam le :P All the very best for your presonal life...professional life me

to tu undoubtedly best hi dene vala hai :)...Vishal Shah

You were always the intellectual,thinking-type person who is never shy of making his point ( evident from all those CPs in class ;)). Had fun with you in campus during the two years. Always busy in some activity or the other but still managed good grades ( Still remember u asking “ A mein kitna mila mujhe”) and not shy of boasting your achievements indirectly ( “bas ek hi subject mein 4.33 mila” ). And in second year always found you in our block bathroom though your room was in the next block( “yaar ye campus ka best shower hai!!!). May have said some things to you at times but good to see that you always talked with a smile everytime we met. Al the best and keep in touch... :)...

SWARNENDU SEN

Vyaaasss!!! So where should i start? Your dogged perseverance in trying to concentrate on what the QT Prof is teaching, when the rest of us (Jajoo, Gholu, Lele, Bala & me) are notoriously cracking our backbencher jokes...or your DCP (Dedicated ya Desperate CP, giving you the benefit of Doubt :P) when we would threaten to ostracize you from our row! Our Sec C back-bench experience would have been soooo incomplete without you! QT topper, CAT 99.99 scorer, McKinsey essay writer, numerous cash-prizes winner and future (crorepati) ITC employee...Bhai, aapko Roadies salute! The world has seen your diligent work in IIC & Ahvan Ops..hats off to your never-say-die fighter spirit!

What i have personally seen and known, you are a simple, down-toearth person who believes in working hard to earn what rightfully belongs to him. You are an innocent child at heart. Glad to have known you so closely...May you be bestowed with all the success that you deserve :)...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

Duuuddeee :P as I call him and he makes that “GARV” movie gesture as if I am going to be butchered by him at the moment itself :P Ohh! he even had those girl kinda problems, boycotting I and Shetti when we pulled his legs to a point he couldn’t bear it all :P Haha. Be it the RIP or the HOP times, duddeee, our random and sometimes meaningless talks and teasing you about the heights of kanjoosi that you show always:P will always be remembered. A virtuous person at heart, very hardworking, well grounded, too talkative :D, but yes, always helpful and very understanding. All hail your ethics _/\_ man! PS: Khana khate time baatein kam karega toh there are chances you recover from your leanness :P You see, energy bachegi :P All the best!!! and apni

shadi me zarur bulaiyyo :P Be in touch :) :) ...SURBHI SONI

Vishal ji is one of the most hard working people of IIM Indore. He might look like a kid but the things he’s capable of, hats off. A very simple, unassuming fellow on the outset, he’s a real talent. One of the few people who you could talk with for hours together on topics ranging from social issues to the institute to politics to people, and wouldn’t get tired of..His work ethic is something I respect a lot, and when he takes up a task, you could bet your bottom dollar that it would be done! He also happens to be one of the very few who evolved over the two years on campus rather than holding on to his beliefs. All the best for your future, and I hope our paths cross again someday :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Vishal , my mentor(Super POC ) during resume iterations, hardworking, intelligent and more importantly a very good person :).I remember the night of our resume iterations when your laptop stopped working, you even proposed to come to our rooms :)... and that time when you were trying to look strict :p, but your genuine friendly nature didn’t help the cause :).. I would really like to thank you for all your efforts both as my mentor and as an IIC member( I remember you conducted many workshops for us including Deep Dive). Wish you all the very best for your future endeavours - Hope you have the time of your life (Green Day Style :) :P) ...GAURAV SAHU

Vishal, always a smiling face seen amidst the crowd, an amazing person who is happy to resolve doubts and help others... You have been a good mentor, guiding and preparing for interviews and I really thankyou for being supportive. It was nice to meet you. Wish u all the very best for future :)...NIDHI SINGH

Vyas as we all know him. IIC wouldn’t be the same without you. You brought about so much liveliness and the girls just love to pull your leg :P On a serious note, an extremely sincere and hardworking guy who puts in 200 percent effort into what he does. We have shared a lot of joys of conducting first time events on campus - probably the conclave being the best. Hope IIM Indore is the beginning to a long friendship.Cheers!...

Raoul Lopes

I would start with saying that Vishal is our Duuuuddddee of IIMI. Duuudddee gussa mat hona..:P;) .. Jokes apart, he is one of the multi talented personality in the campus wid loads of PORs and competition wins to

his credit..I have nt seen a person so particular abt accurate writing like Vishal is.. Duuuddee maaf karna agar likhne mein bhul-chuk hui to!..He is an active and hard working member of IIC and it wouldnt have been the same widout him..Jst 1 advice Vishal, stop worrying too much abt things . u deserve many great things in lyf which will cum to u easily given ur prowess in several fields..Here’s wishing our loving Duuuddee a very happy, successful and enriching corporate lyf and satisfied personal lyf..Duuddee u will b missed..;) :P :)...SHETTI SRIDEVI ASHOK

He always go a CEO’s look of CEO on his face (with all kinds of his professional facials .. ) and he works like a one.. One of the very few guys on the campus who took PORs to work like hell and do anything to do a wonderful job (Most were free riders) .. Has got a great sense of humour .. will always keep his word and stand up to the expectations. .. Full of energy all the time .. A very good writer.. Cracked many essay writing competitions.. the most prestigious one being Mckinsey.. You made IIM Indore proud man.. really nice work.. Got a great debater in himself.. I really enjoyed your intense discussions with Subinay (who no one ever dared to counter) during our IVs.. .Although he is fresher but very mature in his thought process and putting forward his arguments .. Keep doing good work man.. You will rock in Life!! Stay in touch!! ...ASHWANI KANSAL

One of the few genuine guys left on this planet...save him (a species in extinction). he shared some random facts about life in random conversations with me - they always enthralled me...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

Vishal,I think you are one of the most enthusiastic and hard working guy here!! We have spent nice times together and you will always be one of the inspirations for me. The way you are focused towards your things impresses me a lot. Be the way you are..Just enjoy life a bit more :) :) I wish you lots of success and happiness.Stay in touch..... payal anand

Yo IPMs Secy! :P I think am kinda addicted to belting you :P..Vyas, you are extremely hard working (i dont think anybodys been more busy with meetings than u :P) and very talented...You bring in a lot of commitment to every responsibility you handle which is quite commendable :)..IIC meetings would not have been as much fun without

you..You are very patient and thanks for taking all our banters in the right spirit :)..Looking forward to more Vyas talks at ITC :D <muhaha>..all the best :) ...ROHINI H

A very hardworking and a sincere guy..He is full of energy and dedicated to his commitmentsâ?¦We have spent a lot of good time discussing about random topics and playing TT..Would miss the times spent with youâ?¦You would rock in ITCâ?¦Wish you all the best and Keep in touch bro.:)...ATISHAY KUMAR JAIN

He is one of my close friend at IIM Indore and I always felt comfortable in sharing my problems with him. He is one of the most sincere and hard working guy, and he proved that hard work really pays off, despite ordinary acads. I will miss your bakar at 3 am in the morning, it was really fun to enjoy those moments. You have written something on the wall of my room, and hopefully till that time, we all will reach some decent heights.

We have also seen a dream together of being in Mussorie, and hopefully we will reach there. I am really blessed to have friends like you. All the best for future and be in touch......VIKASH KUMAR

Vishal is a really hardworking and ambitious guy. I believe he has a natural knack for leadership. He has been quite inspirational for me and in a way has taught and influenced me to ‘keep the fire burning inside and propel you towards success’... ;) I wish Vishal all the best in his career and life, beyond IIM I. We will surely keep in touch... :)...NILANJAN GANESH MOHAN Self belief. While there is a lot of talk in town about hard work and effort, what makes Vyasjee stand out is his self belief. A source of inspiration for many, this walking revolutionary has the potential to reinvent the wheel. It has been great talking to and converting dilemmas and confusions to clarity of thought. A logical thought process and a strong conviction to back it up I guess is what keeps this guy surmounting peaks of glory. To one of the very few who is ever interested in listening and understanding before arriving at conclusions, wishing the very best of YOU!...Rishabh Trivedi

Vishal...very disciplined and sincere guy in the campus. he has great knowledge of current affairs and politics..never skips to flaunt himself over it :P. Passionately works for his commitments and also gets great results out of it. Got splendid job in ITC, and you will definitely do excel there too.

Wish you all the success in your life. Stay in touch :) :) ...AKSHAY MANGAL

Hey bro !!!! one of the first few guys i spoke to in campus...very smart and intelligent...extremely hard working...i campaigned on ur behalf wenever u stood in elections...I really loved the way u called me ur sis...lucky to have tied rakki to u and i have the dairy milk cover u gave me....I am surprised how a person can be so active and hard working...It is too good to c u argue and debate in class...u r someone who will definitely reach the top very soon...don forget ur sis then...

ATB...keep smiling :)...PREETHI S

We worked together for group assignments in term-1 and AIESEC..

Knowing Vishal, I can say he is a visionary who enjoys taking initiatives and challenging things. Very vocal about his views and gets into trouble sometimes because of that :P .. (Just Kidding). Keenly follows current affairs and goes out of the way to stand by what he believes in .. I believe Vishal should enter politics some day .. Keep rocking.. wish you all the success!...ANANTH G S

Has been with him in IIC and in Ahvan Ops, so I can safely say that I’m the best person to comment on him professionally. MBAs can succeed in life either by globing or by doing some real work! This fellow seems to do both! Keep your excitement in control and you would do marvelously well. Or is that what keeps you going?! Vyas talks- This guy has a huge crush on anything politics and would frequently quote something from recent times (and I am like O.o? ) Vyas writes- He seems to have improved from his early IIC times in terms of his email writing skills. Earlier they used to be essays, now they are better essays :P Vyas works- He is a micro manager; that means being the volunteer, junior member, senior member, coordinator all at once! One of the reasons y ops survived in Ahvan! Finally, Vyas rocks! (with his grey ahvan hoodie and the colorful AAP cap; HOP!)...VAMSI KRISHNA BETHAPUDY

Whenever I think about you, I get a vivid picture of you running here and there, getting work done and ensuring success. You are one of those few people who believe working at the ground level and providing a platform from where others can perform. One of the more hardworking guys, epitomizing sincerity and dedication and a completely honest and straight-forward person. I have absolutely no doubt that you will skyrocket the sales at ITC and be one of the top performers there! All the best and stay in touch...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

You are definitely one of the most dedicated and hard working persons on campus... :) And I know that will pay off not just now but also in the future.... Bhaai there are very few who’ll read cases and also participate in class in 6th term...don’t know how u do that :P but jokes apart I really admire ur sincerity and will definitely try to emulate some of that :) All the best for the life ahead bro....stay in touch :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

I got to know you through AIESEC and my initial opinion about you was “Why does this guy always act bossy n get on my nerves”! Later, by third term, my opinion changed becos of our Switch-Off Planet-I project. you took responsibility to heart and hence, got all senti wen u discussed work. ;) In second year, we became frens and those walks helped me understand (and your jerkiness) you better. So now if I am asked to describe you, this is what I would say: A busy guy (or who likes appearing busy) Can always be found running around with a backpack..Simply cannot help walking fast and that too, ahead of the person he is conversing with... An extrovert, who would share things voluntarily. Jumpy. Enthusiastic. Energetic. Appreciates/supports classical art forms. Has a set of principles he holds on to... has big plans of creating an impact in society... You can go places with your personality (with some changes, that I have already discussed with you :P) All the very best for your life ahead. :) Stay in touch. :) ...V. DARSHANA

Vyas is a very talented guy, esp, when it comes to debating (mostly political issues!). You just need to initiate and he can talk for hours! He has become a good friend over the past 2 years (although we have not spoken much!) He is very hard working and devoted to his work and has accomplished a lot in these two years. Wish you all the best. Keep in touch :) ...PARAG PODDAR

Had the great opportunity of working closely with you this year and needless to say it was a great experience. You have a deep deeeeeep sense of knowledge about a lot of things...mark of a true manager. Forever busy, forever productively utilising your time...you have been an inspiration.

Your association with some of the big brands in the country is no fluke..it is certainly well deserved. I admire your ability to stay on top of things at all times. The precision and process will take you a long way in life... All the very best!...MONAMI BAGCHI

Vishal Vyas, always curious and hungry for knowledge. Though it seems like you are living in another planet of your own working all the way.....but

fb is your communication mode with planet-I. You deserve to go to Harvard....trust me with all those winning essays, one day, Harvard will offer you the post of marketing professor....Cheers Buddy, yu are going to make ITC beat HUL in Market share............!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Vishal has been a great mentor during resume iterations. Very helpful and his sense of initiative is exemplary. Wish you all the best. Keep guiding us and keep smiling...:)...RITUPARNA MANDAL

Vyas bhai.. tumne mujhe logo ko â&#x20AC;&#x153;hiâ&#x20AC;? bolna sikha diya. hope u remember that day :P u r one of the most hard working persons i have ever met in my life. itne saare clubs ka member but still great in studies.

TT bhi aap acha khel lete hai. baki debates aur FB updated me to avval number pe hai hi.. ITC me jake macha dena (u really deserve to have got the company, u have really worked very hard for it) and i am very happy that u made it. u always used to tell me about ur grad college, but now u have set a new landmark for urself. ur future is even brighter, just carry on with the same dedication and hard work. all the very best and keep in touch...SHIVANG GUPTA

U.V.A

VISHN

Vishnu, a fun guy to be around with. Any time spent with him is not without fun and masti. We interacted during Industrial Visit to Sayaji, and instantly became friends, not because we had things in common, but because you can’t dislike this guy-he is everyone’s friend. Always wanted not to come to IV visits, but we always managed to somehow pull him with us. Most chillax guy. Plus he,sankalpa and Kumara-three guys u can always find on FB news feeds making FB an interesting place. Foodie to the core. Only guy to have got international stint.

Don’t bring our bhabhi from Nigeria though. But do bring some dollars for us.... Wish u all the success in life... Keep in touch... :D...SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

A guy you can rely upon times of need. Being the dorm rep, he had the responsibility of controlling me during my drinking escapades :P Whenever I knocked on your room for the “trivialest” of reasons you always had time for me. Hats off to your creativity skills at places everyone knows. One of the most chillaxed Johnny, and perhaps the only guy with a foreign placement, wishing you a successful life. Do invite us for an African safari with a hot South African girl :P Remain cheerful and stay in touch :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

See that big, hairy audacious creature in the pic here, dressed like an Indian king?? That’s Mahabali of IIM Indore, Vishnu.:D A fun loving guy, he was the life of all section parties and DJ nights. I don’t remember a day when I have seen him tense, though he’s sort of ‘liquid’ when it comes to anger/happiness. I don’t think there’s one person in PGP’14 at IIM Indore who doesn’t know him, such was his network. Sincerely speaking, fun-loving guy, who will keep the environ light, wherever

he’ll go. For now, he’s going to Nigeria..:D May God bless you mate. Do well in life.:) Stay connected....Vishal Vyas

Vishnu â?? the typical Mallu. Took the responsibility of J Block early on, and ensured all the logistics were in proper place before all the events and parties. Would often meet me during the first year at night mess, having Chicken Biryani. And then we eventually ended up with the same internship company, even though at different locations (and the effed up company policy ensured we had no chance for a PPI/PPO) :D :-/ Always comes across as a caring and helpful friend, his comments on Facebook are often witty and can burst you into splits. Wish you all the success in life :)...ISHAN BOSE

Ah Vishnu, ur humungous eating skills have always impressed me..I wonder y that is the first thing I wrote...do u? :D.. One of the very few people to call me ‘chechi’...that did make me feel mature :D...U were always happy n carefree..ultimate coolness.. N u passed it on to everyone around u..Keep up the spirits n stay in touch :)...LAKSHMI R

Vishnu is the guy whose appetite was matched only by his sense of humor. Always ready for a party, and always ready to lend a helping hand.

One of the most connected people in IIM Indore and regular customer of Nafees. Can’t thank you enough for all the help you provided in marketing THE page on FB. We couldn’t have got a better person to play Mahabali, such is the resemblance in the shape and in terms of heart. Keep rocking, dude! ...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

He is not a mango man, he is a Fruity man.. :P He can literally live on fruities. A hardcore and a true homie.. Loves to eat a lot and thinks that everyone in the campus is a micro-financer who can fund his night mess bills.. Along with Zeeshan, we three had some of the best times in the campus and will surely miss this nigga as he finally decided to go back to his original home i.e. Nigeria for a living.. :P.. Has a great passion for cars, bikes and wants to be in the business of real estate in the future.. Will definitely cherish the times we spent together especially during the numerous movies in the theatres and during the night mess... Will miss u bro... Stay in touch and all d best...!!! :)...DEBRAJ DAS

Now how do I tell good words about you? Our conversations have always been in our “favourite” pleasant language! ;-) A testimonial is not sufficient to tell about your next door neighbour as we have literally been beside each other through the thick and thin of our two years at IIM Indore. Not everyone is so lucky enough as me to have a neighbour like you. Without any visible slogging, this guy walks away with the highest package salary of the campus (though don’t you dare leave us and your motherland for long in some foreign country, be it America or Antarctica! :-P). An fun-loving simple chap, an ardent lover of grapes, biryani, cars and some “other” things. Now that our student life reaches its fag end, will certainly miss you and your daily knocks on the door, and of course, your habit of playing a single song in an infinite loop unless you get frustrated of it. But then you have been the source of some great Malayalam songs too. Will miss that as well! Have a great life and do keep in touch --- or else, no water! ;-)...

DEBAYAN BISWAS

You are a super fun guy and I had real fun with you all the while during our IV. Although, I hate to say it that the group always relied on me to make you come down for each of the visits :P Always remain the same. Do contribute more to our GDP. And keep in touch :)...KEERTHI KOCHERLAKOTA

Vishnu is an extremely fun guy to be around with...the J Block Johny.

He is extremely calm and cool headed. He loves to party and also is a complete foodie. He is known for sleeping in almost all the classes.

It was nice knowing you. Wishing you all the best for all your future endeavours! ...BHANTI PRATIKSHA DEEPAK

Vishnu- Joyful, Childlike and Sleeepyhead! There were innumerable

occasions, I am sure, when you just walked straight out of your bed to the classes :P and the way you would randomly blurt a CP while having slept through most of the session was quite hilarious! You are always game for fun- be it partying or be it dressing like ‘Mahabali’- and spread smiles!

You are a genuine person and thanks for putting up with my no-nonsense attitude for the entire year! Wish you much more happiness in times to come! ...Sneha Tyagi

Dei mama :) :D :P One of the most chillest guys I have met in Planet-I .

I have hardly seen you serious in the past two years. I wish you had got placed in gulf than in Nigeria so that I could have mocked you :P :D You are one of the few in the world who are absolutely loyal to stomach :D My best wishes for your future da mama :D :D and dont forget Thiruvananthapuram flat :D :D...KAVINKUMAR R

mallu bhai..... yaar hai tu apna.... most blurted out line when we both were drunk...isn’t it.... A likeminded guy( fresher, barbaric, last rankers in the batch and many more)... you were always there to support me.... by being in last 50 of the batch :p :p.... kudos bhai.... I always counted and will always count on you as one of my best friend , who always understood me, and stood by me..... ( saale par kerela nhi ghumaya tune mujhe aur na hi malayalam sikhaya)..... the highest package guy of the campus.... thanx fr everything.... ...NISHANT KUMAR

Vishnu is the most health conscious guy in our batch.His after work-out(10 min cycling) diet includes only one chicken fried rice and 2 lollypops. It is less known fact that he is the chief marketing officer(read sharing-posts officer) officer of Yem Bee yay. His hardwork(:P) during these 2 years paid off when he bagged highest package in the campus.Whichever the restaurant he goes,he pays a visit to kitchen before placing the order.Like all foodies he is very good at heart and fun to hang out with.Hope he makes a lot of money in Nigeria.Best of luck to him..:-)...ALI MONISH P E

Vishnu, our beloved Thadiyan, has an obsessive compulsion to keep his mouth busy :D. At any moment, it will be either chewing on some food or will be spurting out troll stories from around the world. You never get bored of him because you are always having food or listening to his interesting stories when you are with him. He is one of the most enterprising persons on campus and his bulk deals from Mallu mess used to give JAM a run for their money. His passion for food is unparalleled, and thanks to that he has a form large enough to hold his huuge heart :D. This is one

guy who can’t keep himself from extending a sincere helping hand to others. Combine this with his cool and jovial character and you have one friend to die for. People like you go a long way in life...continue being large in body and heart, and be larger than life...all the best!...

Nee aayirnedaa evadathe Mallu Group Manager. Lagos is the fastest growing city in the world..keep this in mind when eating, please don’t overtake it....Abhish Nair

Vishnu aka Bulldog. Came here as a very paavam guy and judged me for smoking . How the times have changed now eh? :P . Coming to Vishnu the man, he loves his food . Its a great source of bonding for us and we constantly call each other fatty :P . He should edit his page and add that he is THE ideal brand endorser for Nafees. He is crazy about chicken biriyani and i hope he gets to eat close to authentic biriyani in Nigeria. He also has a huge heart and is a damn nice and jovial chap. Ever helpful no matter what we needed. This was evident in his stint as hostel Rep. Watches lot of awesome shows and movies and is one of the biggest trolls on facebook. Stay simple and Stay cool bro :)...SUSHAN PRAMOD KOTTARI

Keep in touch...YASARAPU VAMSIKRISHNA

Bhai hain mera.... umar me chota magar size me bada :P Very strong networking skills.... obviously no one can hate guy Never seen this kind of addiction for food. I remember you once took me through your ritualistic theerth yatra of food joints: Canteen-Pishop-Dosapoint-JAM-PohaStall all in one go. Comes back from a buffet from Mashal and eats Porotta Chicken and then eats biriyani from night mess You are a great guy to hang out with... Will cherish those countless boozing and dancing nights we had together...ASHWIN SASIDHARAN M P

Hindu Muslim Sikh Isai, sab hain vishnu ke bhai. :D Dude you are my PD and Jhonny buddy.

Hope we can always keep in touch :)...ASHISH KALYA

Most carefree guy on the campus, never cares about study and always in party mood. He has enjoyed the campus life to the fullest. Your attitude is awesome, keep it like this forever. Wish u all the success in your life and be in touch !!!...VIKASH KUMAR

I wonder how HUGE(not quite literally) the void that your absence will be creating in the campus and in we friends’ lives! Fun to be around. I always got something to eat whenever I came to your room!! Will miss you CHETTA.. ALL the best .. ...NIKHIL T. JOY

Vishnu mama, you are one hell of a goodheart. It’s said that the size of a persons body translates the size of his heart - and it’s cent percent true in your case. Apart from all the mallu food that you arranged for us, you have been a true brother to me. I am not gonna thank you for any of that though, but yeah you made a difference to my stay here and the void that you’ll leave behind wont be filled. Finally, all the best for you journey ahead and the transition from the comforts of these classrooms to those corporate cubicles awaiting you in Nigeria :). And yeah thanking you for befriending me through FB well before my arrival here and re-assuring of the stay here, thendi enittum enodu Bhakra ne patti oru vaaku polum paranjilla. Anyway, you are such a wonderful person and good things will come looking for you. When living through all those good fortunes that life will bring you, please do keep in touch. :)...NIRMAL M S

Arey what can i say about you.. People will easily understand what you are.. A fun loving cool dude, just exactly looking like the Panda in d movie Kung Fu Panda :D :P ... I guess the most favourite letter of yours in english alphabets is ‘F’.. right..? I generally hear two words from U both starting with ‘F’ . Be it the reason why you are living in this planet “(F)ood” or be it who u are “(F)ucker” :P .. . I remember, U only comes to my room for that “Aaaachar.!!”.. “ Man where is that pickle.”.. U are one of those few friends of mine who always says “Yeah man, this week will go for Nafees” :D :) .. Had a great good time in I with U :) :) ... All d best for your Nigeria trip :P...VENKATA RAMESH V

Star of the campus. I wish I had half of your ability in making friends. The number of parties and events that you have organized on behalf of the malayali team â?? aliya, hats off to you. Sathyamayittum â?? I donâ??t know what our group would have done if you had not been there. Whether, it was organizing the onam festivities and playing maveli, or taking care of all the arrangements for the welcome and farewell parties â?? your contributions were always priceless. Have great fun in Nigeria. Keep drinking frooti :P...KARTHIK HARIHARAN

PAUL VIVIAN ALVES GONS

Thanks for being a wonderful senior and good luck for the future ahead at Marico! :P :) ...BHAMBHANI PAVAN RAJU

You are best in all aspects, be it friendship, leadership, strategy, organizing, time management or physical strength :P You are dedicated and passionate about everything you do. Thanks for being an awesome senior ! Take care #MARICO (Your tone)...AKHIL KRISHNAN SHOBA

the best senior i know in IIM Indore..be it fun or work ..you have troubled me a lot :D..i can never forget what u did in hollywood squares (drummers and drumsticks :P)..we shared a great bond and were always there fr help..Thnankyou and all the best :) #MARICO...PALLAVI GUPTA

He has got to be the best Mentor amongst all the PGP2s - evidencemy brilliantly worded resume. Extremely helpful and very patient, I had literally made him go through all my summer forms! Very hard working and extremely inspiring- I haven’t told him this, but back then after all our iteration sessions, I used to be like totally geared up to even pull an all-nighter for work ;) Total marketing fundoo!! And I guess a major reason behind me liking the subject :) Crazy about food, especially chicken - if anything is left and you are worried you cant finish it, then don’t because all you have to do is tell him and he ll wipe your plate clean! Very stingy though - still waiting for my treat :P Speaks horrible hindi that makes us all laugh. I’m glad I got to know a brilliant person as him and I hope we remain in contact even after graduation :)...SAMPANNA PARHI

I had always heard of your sincerity and instances of your extreme dedication & hard-work. All this made complete sense when I had the unique opportunity to work on the BCG competition with you. Most of us do an analysis and forget about it, but you have taught me that if we keep thinking about it and keep revisiting it, there is always a huge scope for improvement. Needless to say, you are one of the best speakers I have met and an extremely engaging orator. Additionally, I have huge respect for your ideas and ideologies. Keep it up and hope to get a chance to work with you again! ...RUCHIK KIRTI GANDHI

Vivian is a guy who catches your attention upfront, be it for his confidence, eloquence, his tone or perhaps his built :P He is also one of the easiest guys to know and interact with thanks to him being a genuine, honest and friendly person. An extremely helpful person, I remember during one of the Accounts assignment submissions in term 1 when I was utterly clueless and carefree, I just asked him for help once and he came all the way to my room to help me figure out stuff. In fact Iâ??ve seen him go out of the way for his close friends which I appreciate a lot. A very hardworking and sincere guy, I was amazed to infinity when I saw the way he made notes for Accounts when most of us would be dozing off or chilling in the back benches! Surely had to get a PPO from Marico given his knack for marketing and persevering nature. Have fun dude :)...ISHAN BOSE

I have totally lost count of the times you have helped me and the treats I owe you. Seriously wouldn’t get through these 2 years without your help.

The amount of dedication you have and the effort you put in for everything is truly admirable. I still remember sitting and learning brand names with you during summers :p Your next visit to Mumbai I’m totally meeting you and hopefully I’ll be able to negate your assumptions about my priority list ;) Meanwhile keep learning Hindi.. it is totally entertaining :D Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. Stay in touch :) :)...SONIKA KHURANA

I am at a dire dearth of words in describing my two years with you. You are one person on campus who I have fought with the maximum and I take pride in that fact because I have learnt the most because of those arguments/discussions/squabbles/call it whatever. Nonetheless, these fights have led to an immensely strong friendship so much so that I canâ??t even imagine how life would have been on campus without you. When you are around, I just blabber whatever comes to my mind, good or bad, without thinking even once. I am at my most child-like behaviour when I

am with you. Be it competitions, my panic attacks or just random stuff, you put up with all my crap (and I put up with yours :P). Your clarity of thought, perseverance, need for perfection and an insatiable appetite for learning is what I adore the most about you apart from a million other things. You are a friend who I know will be there for me, no matter what. Needless to say, you are a gem of a person and I feel blessed to have a friend like you....SWATI VERMA

Vivs !! You have got to be the most helpful person I have met in my life. I can safely say I passed in PRM because of you only. Your patience is truly admirable, You can keep explaining things till the other person gets it. You made PRM study sessions so much fun. I remember how we used to have so many chats in the 1st year to discuss a lot of things. We should resume that in this last term :) Be it sports or competions or academics or even eating :P, you are passionate about everything you do. I have seen you put in an insane amount of hardwork for everything you do. This quality of yours is going to take you places. You are awesome Vivs. Always stay this way :) PS: I hope to see alochol have some effect on you once in my lifetime :P...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Vivian brings him with a whole of energy and enthusiasm to every conversation that I have had with him. And, I see someone who has a very promising career ahead of him. It is indeed a pleasure to have interacted with you.Cheers!...SYED ERAJ HASSAN

It is really funny how I met Vivian first. I still remember that day during Bakra time when my crappy new sport shoes soleâ??s were giving apart and I had to fall back of the herd going for forced jogging ( yes, ragging happens in B-School) when I met a limping Vivian. I had no idea who he was but that brief interaction was all it required for me to know how awesome this guy is. If I ever manage to be a parent I would want my son to be like him. He is the superlative of what is an ideal guy. He is nice to the point you will say, â??Who the fuck is nice in a situation like this?â??, he is competitive in every sense of the word be it studies or sports and he manages to excel in both without any hint of arrogance you would expect in a guy like him. I have seldom seen a person who cares for people without any reason for him to do it. I have spent hours doing everything from crash course before exams to basketball to FIFA to swimming to gorging on bulk deals to exploring food joints in Mumbai and have enjoyed every moment of it. He has too

much passion for marketing to my liking and I am sure he will end up being the first Chief Marketing Officer the world has seen but I donâ??t give a damn till he remains the same and my friend. ï?? You will do great in life Vivian and I wish you all the happiness in future....SURABATHUNI PALLAV

Vivian is undoubtedly the perfectionist of our group, who has achieved a number of milestones in these two years. It is not very surprising, if you see this guy working. Heâ??s one focused person who would take care of each and every minute detail to ensure perfectionism. No wonder he has tremendous amount of fan following, not just among the juniors & peers but also seniors. He’s a perfect all-rounder, aces academics, excels at sports and wins competitions and what not. With all these qualities, I see him winning many more accolades very soon in his career. And not to forget, he’s crazy level foodie, he simply worships food, especially chicken. So if you happen to go out with him, just ensure that the place has non-veg or else God only can save you.:P Wish you all the best for your future endeavours Vivs!! Hope to remain good friends with you always! :) ...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Vivian â?? His name defines him, full of life and always smiling ! A multitasker with a knack to put his 100% effort to everything and trust me that is more than enough â?º Dude, I cnt frgt tht time when we used to do that marketing simulations and did some kick ass calculations thugh the â??Har weirdâ?? guy never graded us well :P Competitions, competitions and more â?? You could have written â??Powerpoint for dummiesâ?? and I will be the first one to buy that considering how bad I was at it tht tym :D . All knows your appetite and love for chicken and so is your endorsement for Adidas. Finding such an awesome friend in you in such a short time is no wonder considering your fun-loving nature. I am still wondering how you balance ur time between gym, tennis, studies, competitions and so much, Kudos and wish that you keep the same at Marico. Will do a lot of bakar when I will come to Mumbai â?º. P.S - Your testimonial could not end without the mention of cakes you got frm ur home. They were delicious. Period. ...MAYANK JAIN

Vivian came to me as a blessing in disguise. Though he was to be one of the seniors acting ‘rude’ at the time of bakra, when it finally got over he was the sweetest guy to be around, ever! I don’t know how i would’ve survived those first few days hadn’t he been there. Going to his room, even for work was like a refreshing, healing intervention. And then of course, to get your resume checked by one of the smartest, brightest marketing

severance, need for perfection and an insatiable appetite for learning is what I adore the most about you apart from a million other things.

You are a friend who I know will be there for me, no matter what.

Vivian is undoubtedly the perfectionist of our group, who has achieved a number of milestones in these two years. It is not very surprising, if you see this guy working. Heâ??s one focused person who would take care of each and every minute detail to ensure perfectionism. No wonder he has tremendous amount of fan following, not just among the juniors & peers but also seniors. He’s a perfect all-rounder, aces academics, excels at sports and wins competitions and what not. With all these qualities, I see him winning many more accolades very soon in his career. And not to forget, he’s crazy level foodie, he simply worships food, especially chicken. So if you happen to go out with him, just ensure that the place has non-veg or else God only can save you.:P Wish you all the best for your future endeavours Vivs!! Hope to remain good friends with you always! :) ...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Vivian â?? His name defines him, full of life and always smiling ! A multitasker with a knack to put his 100% effort to everything and trust me that is more than enough â?º Dude, I cnt frgt tht time when we used to do that marketing simulations and did some kick ass calculations thugh the â??Har weirdâ?? guy never graded us well :P Competitions, competitions and more â?? You could have written â??Powerpoint for dummiesâ?? and I will be the first one to buy that considering how bad I was at it tht tym :D . All knows your appetite and love for chicken and so is your endorsement for Adidas. Finding such an awesome friend in you in such a short time is no wonder considering your fun-loving nature. I am still wondering how you balance ur time between gym, tennis, studies, competitions and so much, Kudos and wish that you keep the same at Marico. Will do a lot of bakar when I will come to Mumbai â?º. P.S - Your testimonial could not end without the mention of cakes you got frm ur home. They were delicious. Period. ...MAYANK JAIN

Vivian came to me as a blessing in disguise. Though he was to be one of the seniors acting ‘rude’ at the time of bakra, when it finally got over he was the sweetest guy to be around, ever! I don’t know how i would’ve survived those first few days hadn’t he been there. Going to his room, even for work was like a refreshing, healing intervention. And then of course, to get your resume checked by one of the smartest, brightest marketing chap at campus is a blessing in itself. I think thanks to him only I managed

to get an internship from campus. Anyway Vivian, you’re like a Teddy Bear to me, a total huggable and a total sweetie. Am sure it’ll be awesome for the people working with you at Marico to have you around, they’re definitely lucky to have you, sweet and smart, deadly combo!

All the best with it! :) ...MANNIKA SOLANKI

You are by far the cutest, most adorable senior in the whole batch! Ask all the girls of PGP1 if you don’t believe me. Mercur-I wouldn’t have been the same without you. You’re like the face of marketing in this campus, what with your and Jayasimha’s mutual admiration club and all that :P And yes, I’d like to take you out for dinner some time, now that I know your expertise in ordering super yummy food :D Only one regret Vivian- I never got to hear your trademark “Come I’ll lift you!”

Well, here’s wishing you success and good luck in everything you do.

Sell lots of Parachute and Saffola :D You’re awesome!...ADITI SINGH

The bully man!!! Remember you from Bakra days and to tell the truth was a bit afraid of you.. but all fear went away when I got to know the real Vivian.. Excellent marketing knowledge and a person from whom a lot can be learnt, which I came to know during Utsaha. I know you will take Marico to new heights.. All the best!!!...ASHISH KUMAR

Beyond the extremely hardworking, hard eating and marketing fundoo stuff which he is all too famous for, Vivian is a really amiable, adjusting , straight to the face guy which make it very easy to get along with him. The Rajasthan trip was the first time we actually spent a lot of time together and believe me it was a lot of fun(Thanks for the limericks.. this is something i’m going to remember and continue to make for a long time to come).In Goa, we plan to put you under more alcohol than food hoping you’d get high atleast then.Don’t forget the convo moments and our awesome udaipur shopping :) Be it cricket or tennis or fifa Viv’s always been a great friend to spend sporty time with and I look forward to more such days and moments.If Marico deserved anyone on campus it had to be you..I’m sure you’re going to go a long way.Best of luck. I’m sure we’ll stay in touch :)...HARSHVARDHAN V

Vivs as I generally call him, is the youngest and the most mischievous one among the bunch of children I have on campus ;) His never ending ways to trouble me in class (remember those electric socket casings of RMS class :P) and his signature style of addressing me as â??Mommyâ?? all the time is what I remember the most!! And then

is his love for all sorts of meat (he’s introduced me to some of the brilliant dishes at Alcove’s), his need for perfection in all significant and insignificant assignments, his neat and organized notes. This guy is super talented â?? be it acads, competitions, PORs, sports; heâ??s done everything in campus..and is one genuine person loved by all and his passion for work has not only paid him off professionally but helped him win loads of goodies.. Wish him good luck for the career ahead and Iâ??m sure Harish Mariwala would be proud to have him on board :D Wish to spend more fun time in Goa and ahead.. :) ...NEHA KANWAL

Vivian my man. If I were to ever make a group for anything â?? academic or business-related in life â?? youâ??d be on my top 5 list. Youâ??re the dedicated and hardworking HULK of IIM-Indore but a really sweet guy nonetheless. Youâ??re always happy about something and have a constant smile on your face. Your attitude towards life is really positive which is great â?? donâ??t ever change that!! I shall miss the â??Ray sessionsâ??, PRM prep and so on in your room. Hoping to see more of you in Mumbai!...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

In one sentence - Vivian is what you’d want your brother to be. Witty, perseverant, extroverted, interesting... well I could go on, but you get the picture. A fellow Manchester United fan with a panache for sports, marketing and life in general. He’s a great organizer and is the life of the party. I sometimes wonder how he manages to juggle so many things at once and still have lots of time left to talk to people around. One of the few guys who I’d be surprised if he doesn’t make it big in life. A complete foodie and a great guy to hang out with. Looking forward to a lot more of the same in the future. All the best! :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

Vivian is one person and I believe the only one who has crossed all limits and boundaries making fun of me on any topic to the extent that when someone cracks a joke on me, the first thing I do is request people to not let Vivian know about it as then there would be nothing left to save me from him.He would never share pics,he would never spare you if you make fun of him try hitting him (I did try once) and you shall regret why did you even touch him. Nonetheless ,Vivian ,there has been always something or the other to learn from you in every interaction we have had.

Your precision and yearning for perfection while making slides gives people like us a chance to be casual about the looks and appearance of the slides in the least. Be it the game of Ruzzle or the game of Taboo, there has been always a transfer of knowledge (one-sided though)...:P.Your im-

mense passion for marketing and your unconditional loyalty towards Marico brands (read Parachute) is indefatigable. When you have VIvian in a trip with you, you don’t have to care for anything as he would be equipped with neccessities that would easily suffice the needs of the entire group. It was great knowing you and being with you in some of the outings we have had here. Keep laughing always in the unusual way that you do....:P and have a rocking life ahead...:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Vivian, you are a star on campus! Such an achiever :) I look up to you for the sincerity and hard work you put in any task at hand. Your company is extremely inspiring. Thank you for being so nice and encouraging at various occasions. May you keep adding to the already long list of achievements :) I am and shall always remain one of your biggest fans! Stay in touch !ï?? ...RAKHI SHARMA

Paul is very bold and straight forward. You can never win an argument with him :P. He is an easy going person, only time i found him worried was - never. He is one guy you wish for not being on campus on your birthday :P...It’s good knowing you!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

The best Jammer, out-of-the-world orator and brilliant worker! It was a great experience interacting & working with you. Always keep smiling & spreading the cheer :D...THAKUR ANSHU MANOJ

I have known Vivian since sem-1 the guy who used to throw CPs aggressively. The time at Marico was lot of fun. Its great that you come out even if you don’t want to drink (Of course you cone to hog). I have known as a guy who will always be there to help in every possible way- be it QT endterm, Marico internship, or final placement preparation. Stay the same and stay in touch....Variksh Thaker

Vivian... u r one of the sweetest and most polite persons I have come across in Campus. Plus I truly cant help but admire the insane amount of marketing gyaan that u have. Wish u the best in all ur future endeavours.. :) ...ANJALI KRISHNANIVAS CHOWDRY

Vivian..You are confidence personified and the master of sambalichifying anything that comes your way. (Pardon my French) I’ve enjoyed the times spent with you and the rest of the GK team in your room.And of course,no testimonial of yours would be complete without #Marico

(in “Your tone” as Akhil put it) Wish you success and more awesomeness in the future...ARAVINDHAN SUNDAR

You are one of the seniors in campus whom I always look upto. Be it your JAM session or your profile on the marico page - every single thing amazes me. How can a person be so good at so many things? You were very helpful with prompt and patient replies to all my doubts. Thank you so much for all the help. It was great knowing you and hope we stay in touch in future too. Wish U all the very best. Have a great life ahead. :-)...ANKITA

Vivian - 2 things I like and admire about you are your love for marketing and chicken :P Over the years, I’ve found a great friend in you and a chicken buddy :) Your dedication towards work is something I really hope to learn someday. You’re great to hangout with. Insidious I still remember :P Stay in touch bro. All the best for your life and career \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

Vivian or VPG- you’re one of the first people I met on campus because we were among the few catholics. I remember our very first outing to TI, where we played pool - and I sucked! Haha! Throughout these two years you have been a regular feature. We started interacting probably on a daily basis after we shared a lot of common marketing subjects in 2nd year. Two things that we’ve bonded over - Sports (Tennis and cricket) and Food (the list of favorites is too big to write here). I’m least bothered about what to order when you’re around dude, cuz you know what suits a pure non-vegetarian’s palate just too well. We worked together in Utsaha and I learnt that all the praises that people shower on you about your dedication and meticulousness to achieve perfection are 100% true. You were always the one to compile, format and edit the rough work that we all put together :P You’re a top notch marketeer, probably you would’ve been even a top notch consultant! HOP and Rajasthan were so much fun because you added to the cheer! Hope it continues, and really hope we can show each other cool new eating joints in Bandra and other places in Mumbai! ...Raoul Lopes

You know I really wanted to hijack this space and write about your teasing, nagging, passing comments that make no sense etc etc. But now that I did, I can’t help but smile thinking about all of those things you did or said. I guess that is what makes you such a great person to be with. You are incredibly smart (yeah yeah...wipe that smug off that says I KNOW), occasionally funny (yes, I carefully chose the word ‘occasionally’ because

making fun of my laughter is NOT funny! Huh!), a great mentor (that you are :)) and definitely a brilliant dance partner! Fighting with you, whether for work or play, has been on of the best things for me. I have learnt so much from you. I have loved every moment of working and partying with you. :) I will miss you so much (fine you can go ‘awww...’ here!). Please do keep in touch. Loads of love and good wishes!...

NAMRATA LOHAT

I always loved the exuberance you tend to ooze whenever we got talk however rare that might be ;) But it was always fun....hoping to see you turn into a great marketeer...all the best :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Before Kaya, I knew him from the bakra days and I was relly scared of him.. Later, It was fun working with him.. I was amazed at the way he takes care of every minute detail while making presentation slides.

Hardworking and dedicated, he is no doubt a perfectionist!! You will definitely have a fun-learning experience working with him.. I find myself very lucky to have got a chance to work with him.. I am sure you will take Marico to new heights.. Have a great life ahead!! Stay in touch. :)...PRIYADARSHINI MULLICK

The soft voiced HULK......this gentleman has been a good friend of mine for the past two years...In the first year class room, if you have a disagreement with someone on some topic..just turn back and there is Vivian...an amazing sportsperson, orator and dancer ...always ready to help....had amazing time together working with you in the third term and CBN....all the best!!...ANSHU KUMAR

He’s the first friend I made at IIM-I and we clicked pretty much instantly. A fellow Chennai boy, I think he has to be the nicest bloke around, helping the rest of us out at the drop of a hat. I doubt our group on campus could have stuck together without Vivian. His love for food is unmatched and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone gobble down as much as this guy does. Something you’ll discover when you spend time with Vivian is that he’s extremely sociable and popular. You can’t walk 10 yards on campus without him running into someone he knows (and you didn’t know existed). The 2 months we spent in Mumbai during our internship were just out of this world and Pallav and I got to see first hand the effort Vivian puts into his work. From the first day, we had absolutely no doubts whatsoever that he would get that PPO. Its been a really fun time with you on campus dude and it feels just like

yesterday we ran into each other for the first time and started hanging out.Here’s to many more lazy Kalpita Sundays in the future...ADITYA BALARAMAN

Viv, you were the first ‘new’ friend I made here. Remember that cold morning at 4 a.m. when the seniors made us slog? You’d started pulling my leg from day 1 and it never stopped after that. Your room was my favourite hangout spot for the longest time. You were ever so inviting to let me bunk in between classes so that I would not have to go all the way to Patal Lok. I admire your tremendous self-belief and oratory skills. The day I hold up an argument against you would be quite an achievement for me. You’re by far the most well connected person on campus and that’s because you’re smart, helpful and can never say no even to sharing assignments! I love how you’ve picked up the Hindi language over these few months. It’s always fun with you around. There’s no doubt in my head that the Marketing God in you will take over Marico very very soon! Cheers!...

ANKITA SATIJA

Vivs, youâ??re easily among the most spontaneous and smartest people Iâ??ve ever met. On that fateful night at Sportsbar, and after I had dumped all three shopping bags on you while waiting for the bus, I remember being super excited that we shared a lot of common interests. Our association grew, with you showing us your laundry list of awesome jam topics that I found damn funny. From the countless study sessions weâ??ve had in your room in first year, to playing Monopoly in class, weâ??ve had one amazing journey. I am totally envious of your multitasking abilities.

While I barely manage to get through my work, youâ??ll finish double that amount of work after having gone to the gym, played snooker, tennis, cricket, basketball, watched football, cricket, tennis, and still get your beauty sleep. Iâ??m also thoroughly inspired by your commitment and meticulousness when it comes to work. You take so much of the work upon yourself, that you make it very easy for people who are in the same group as you :P Working with you for competitions, and for Mercur-I were a great learning experience. Iâ??ve learnt so much from you, be it marketing fundas, approaching a case or getting the alignment in a slide just right. I will never forget the awesome number crunching we did for Deloitte, and locking you and Swati up after that :P What I love about you is that youâ??re the live wire of any group youâ??re a part of, going out of your way to make everyone comfortable. Also love how you take your food seriously (thatâ??s a big thing in my world). Youâ??re among the few people here I can be totally comfortable around. I can speak my mind

around you, knowing that you might get ticked off, but also knowing that youâ??ll still always be there for me. I know that youâ??re going to achieve great heights in your career, but donâ??t let that ever affect how great a person you are. Love â?º p.s: Stop fretting about the 25%, because 75% is an achievement very few have managed :P ...KAVYA AMARNATH

Hey Vivian, it was nice knowing you.Wish you all the best for your future endeavors! Stay in touch :)...VRITI SIDANA

Man ! so jealous of you always .. you are the one who I think is me & as they say ‘ek mayan mein do talwar nai reh skti’ (yeah I cant beat you in English but in Hindi I win :P) Still remember ‘chal jhadi ke peeche” ;) We have had our share of amazing moments as well as ego clashes, but that has never stopped me from admiring you and your way around things... you surely are the most genuine guy & brilliant at some of the things (leaving some scope for myself :P).. Keep in touch & stay rocking ! :)...MANISH KUMAR BANSAL

Here we have the ‘Marketing Guru’ of the camps. One of the most popular, helpful, intelligent and successful seniors. Thanks for all your help and guidance. Bakra and Utsaha have been two very contrasting but yet yet enjoyable moments with you. Keep up the ‘Vivian’ spirit, and you would surely achieve greater heights.!! All the very best and keep in touch..:)...MOHIT SAHNI

Hey Vivian.. You’re a gem of a person and have been there for us since the day we joined (I still remember referring to you as “bouncer” during Bakra).. lol.. Thanks for all the help and knowledge that you’ve shared over the past year.. Hope we meet again in the near future..

Best of luck for Marico :) ...ANKIT HAMIRWASIA

Technically this is the second time I am writing a testimonial to you..

But seriously Vivian, give yourself a break! I haven’t worked with you outside DebSoc but I have heard many a great things about your dedication and hard work.. I still refuse to believe that you play football and are not used as one! (You deserve this after pulling my leg in every meeting) But yes if at all there was one person who could shut me up just by how he speaks then it was you.. And even though there was a lot of work put in the events, the real life of the events was you, all (of) you! Haha.. I hope I don’t get Chennai and if I do, I hope the place is

better than Lucknow otherwise you wait and watch what I do to you... And ya, we could’ve had many more amazing events had it not been for your linguistic handicaps! It was a pleasure working with you. Till we meet next, see you.....ADITYA AGARWAL

Got acquainted to you during bakra (culcom interviews :D)..got to know you as a part of GK team and discovered the fun person in you who never misses a chance to pull someone’s leg :P can never forget that yellow ball during 1st year meetings :D Had a great time working with you for Kaya and GK. You are a very sincere, hardworking, witty, smart individual with very clear thoughts and finds his way out of any situation. You have been with me throughout GK and motivated me in tough situations. I’m sure you will achieve great heights and do great in future :) All the very best for your life ahead :) Keep the fun-person in you alive..stay happy :) and stay in touch :) ...POOJA JUGRAN

I have told this to many people but never you: On this campus, I think you are the most truthful and honest person. Entire first term, I was simply in awe of you. I failed to understand how someone could be so passionate about so many things and still find time to excel at all those activities. You are the best at almost everything that you take up: Sports, Assignments, Committee work, Snooker and the list goes on. I look up to you to and only wish that one day I will also be as multi-talented as you. You also have been extremely generous and helpful. I remember you teaching me some OM concept just before an end term though you had already taught the same to zillion other people. I have always seen you very smiling and chirpy. I want you to be the same always. Trust me, you are perfect. There is no scope of improvement ï??...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Fellow johnnie, class mate for one year, Vivian.. A lively person who is one of the most affable persons on the campus. One of the first persons i met on the campus. His ability to make people friend is something that mesmerises me. One of the most popular johnnies and a great sports man, would participate in almost every sport. Cant forget hose section wars in first year :) Volley ball matches and playing cricket with fellow johnnies in J-block corridor.. I Would cherish all these memories forever. Keep smiling always and wish you good luck buddy :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Dude, I so wish Iâ??d learned some English songs from you rather than teaching you a Hindi one! Weâ??ve had some smashing times, some ok times, and some major issues in these 2 years, but through all of this,

youâ??ve never lost your cool. Itâ??s sometimes extremely irritating as well though! :P But then if you did lose your cool, few limbs would be broken and heads and bodies would be seen splitting. So all in all, itâ??s a good thing youâ??re a big friendly giant! Right from the first term, I knew that I would face competition in marketing from a select bunch of people, and you would be right on top of that. And how right youâ??ve proven me. Infact, youâ??ve gone so much beyond just being competition that now I need to learn a lot about it from you!

(The exchange trip didnâ??t help either, all gyaan flew away) Winning competitions to acing live projects, to a PPO and what not, youâ??re so far beyond all us mortals. Infact everything youâ??ve done here, youâ??ve been the best at it! Respect. Not that I disagree with Paras when he says thereâ??s no scope of improvement, I feel, at some point, this competitive spirit goes way beyond necessary, and maybe a check on that and youâ??ll be perfect. Vivian loves his food (read chicken), again more than I do, and has some brilliant dance moves!

Now with an improving Hindi and a crash course in Hindi songs, youâ??re all set to rock wherever you go! Wishing you the best in life!

Happy selling Parachute! :P...PARTH KAPOOR

Vivian was a Johnnie and lived bang opposite my room. I had seen him around and he was probably on the top of my “Guys who should not mess with” list.I wud hear a lot about this guy and by my lucky stars in heaven, he was never there on my bday gpl sessions! We had first worked together on Ahvan and Utsaha, where we had to do crazy amount of work and it was so easy to work with him. He was very tolerant and flexible and worked like mad. I was so amazed when I saw him learn Hindi in a matter of 2 days and he was practically interviewing people in Hindi. Ahvan was another crazy ride and I was so happy when we became joint coordinators because I was sure that with him by my side, we could take care of the entire fest. Things became challenging even before the fest started, with all the dynamic problems and date shifts and last moment inclusion, I was so relieved when it all got over and it was just through his Herculean efforts did the whole thing fall into place. You are an unstoppable force when you start to drive things and an immovable object when people try to bulldoze ideas, I have it all figured out, The Joker was referring to you! I am such a fan of POI, thank you so much :D :D Wish you all the very best! PS: I use that Marico oil, I swear I do, whatever its called :P...VIDUSH ARYA

Vivian-- met this guy during the bakra sessions as we were in the

same group (Remember how you were the only one with prior knowledge of Maslow’s hierarchy in one of the assignments? :P ) Got to know you even better as a fellow back-bencher. I came to admire 2 things about you largely- your Marketing brain, and your ability to gel almost instantly with anyone. Something I wish I had! :) You are a really fun guy to work with, great company during GK, and boring classes :P Someone with whom I played unending games of Cows and Bulls and Hangman and Ultimate tictac-toe:P Insanely strong, and deceptively fit compared to how he looks, this guy brings the ‘fun’ element in any party. Stay happy, stay successful, and keep lifting people up, both literally and figuratively (lifting their spirits). Cheers!! :)...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

Vivian, I donâ??t know if I had told you this, I did not like you in first year :P [Yeah just like that, no rhyme or reason, I did not even talk to you once in first year] Then Mercur- I happened, Utsaha happened, we had some eating competitions in which I was not even a worthy competitor to you.

That Alcove ka burger, man _/\_ You are the only guy who puts in the same vigour to a chicken platter and to a slide you are working on. Dude your work ethic is God level..very few can maintain that even after a PPO (you know whom Iâ??m talking about). I got to learn a lot from you be it during Ahvan, during Utsaha and working with you in Mercur-I. Marico will soon realize what gem of a person they have recruited. Cheers to lots of chicken in the future. Stay in touch and Stay hungry :P...Abhish Nair

YADAV L U H RA

I don’t need to say anything about this guy. Few defining moments when I realized how awesome he is: 1)Tata Crucible 2013- He was more depressed than me when I couldn’t win it despite leading till the last round. Didn’t even participate, but spent the entire day cheering me up 2) 6th term, I was down with a stomach upset. Went to see a doctor. Every half an hour, this guy was there enquiring about my test results and doctor’s advice, even though he himself had hundreds of other tensions in his life(placements included) Rahul bhai, when you were away for 3 months on exchange, I felt like this college is not the same place. In fact, the only reason why I have the present friend circle is you. You were the common link. Amazing man manager, god level trader( Voyage fucking gives 15 % returns. rahul bhai makes 2000% in one day- you have to see it to believe it). If you think I am joking, this guy has a house, a honda city and no educational loan to boast of. If he wants, he can be the next rakesh Jhunjhunwala. But, even Rakesh jhunjhunwala would not have brought smiles to so many faces on a daily basis, the way he does it. And, at the end of the way, even when we are long gone, this is what will matter... Rahul bhai, I will miss you...

ARINDAM PAUL

Yo Yo Rahul Bhai.. I block and the song Balma :P.. thats how it started (i am sure the term will end with Baby Doll :P). Its because of you that we are a great group today. A group which has extreme stortillays but your composure has always been the key to get us all together. Kuch bhi kaam hota hai.. toh aapko hi short deta hun. Munich (Octoberfest), Vienna (almost every weekend), Prague (pub crawl ke shots) and amsterdam ke 2 trips (especially the joke that never ended :D).. Eurotrip was a definitely a “Golden time” (only the two of us will get this one

:D). I have never expressed this (because I thought it wasn’t needed at any point of time) but I do have a lot of respect for you. You keep saying that ek reason toh hai jiske karan yaad rakhoge (you know what I am talking about).. but there are a lot of reasons jiske liye yaad karunga. I know we will be in touch. If not then will ping you on the day when Yo Yo comes out with a new track :D Cheers! ...RAHUL NAGDEV

RB, You know what the happiest day of my life was in IIMI? The day you returned from Bhopal as a VP :D You always were and will remain one of my best friends.You are one of the most caring friends I have ever had the fortune of having. I remember how this time, during the Final Placements, I had to report early morning to the venue one day. I hadn’t specifically asked you or anyone else, knowing that everyone is as busy as I am with placements. But you still woke me up early morning so that I would be able to report on time. This is, for me, the essence of Rahul bhai- the guy who is always there for his friends! Another time, I remember I just knocked on your door early morning after a night-out and dropped dead tired in your room, asking you to wake me up before my class. So thank you for being my alarm clock.I guess there are very few people whom I take for granted so much, just dropping in unannounced and expecting a favor. As someone else mentioned as well, “koi bhi kaam ho, short aapko hideta hu bhai” Ok, now with all that emotional sap out of the way, you are in a lot of ways the heart of our group of shortileys. Not to mention the official host of many partys as well as the official DJ :P Seriously, I need your playlist :/ Bas, this has stretched on for quite some length now, so abhi “short” kar deta hu. VP se Prez banne ke tym treat dena :P Touch me toh rehenge hi, through Whatsapp, Fb and others. And keep being the great guy you are! Wish you all the best, bhai! :)...SOUVIK SINHA ROY

Although from a different generation :P one can trust Rahul to be there in good times and bad. Rahul is quick witted and is typically famous for his one-liners. I have constantly sought his advice for Hollywood classics.

A surprisingly decent table tennis player. He is astonishingly the most networked guy on campus, you meet anyone; and he must know Rahul Yadav or heard his stories and thatâ??s because he has a big heart and is always ready to help. ...PRANAY TODI

Rahul bhai..don’t know where to start with you. I think pretty much everyone I consider a close friend on campus I met only because of you. I remember how it was for me in term-I, acads and PORs were the only things I had to keep me going, not too many friends in sight. I don’t remember

celebrating my internship the day I got placed either. All that changed in term-II as I started doing more ‘bakchodi’ with you. Within 3 months you knew so many people on campus that it was difficult to be around you without knowing some of them myself. Manu, Paul, Gola, Souvik (keeping aside our grim career discussions at lonely dinners :P), I met every one of them in I-216. Your room was the default location we all trudged to after class. Playing ‘29’, munching on the ‘chakna’ you’d always have in stock, or just hanging around listening to your Honey Singh collection - I think it’s fair to say that most of us spent as much time in your room as we did in ours. RB, you have this unique quality of making people feel comfortable around you. Whether it’s speaking in broken Tamil, putting your arm around someone in greeting, or calling people by their much-hated nicknames (:P) - it all counts. Even now, I find myself walking to your room after class even though I have no agenda in mind. Even in Europe, I found myself looking forward to our trips to Munich. Tere saath bakar karna, tujhe choti baton pe gaali dena, arguing over the stupidest, irrational things - I don’t think I’d share such ‘jugalbandi’ with anyone else. I can’t begin to imagine how my time at IIM Indore would have been had I not met you. I have learnt a lot from you RB. Cheers to all the good times and hoping to have many more. We will keep in touch. Adios! :)...ADHIT S. SHETTY

Yadav Bhai!! This man needs no introduction in IIM Indore campus or Indore or Mumbai or Munich or anywhere he’s lived. Everyone who has met Rahul Bhai will remember him for the rest of his life. Such is his aura! The man doesn’t shy away from sharing his experiences (which are quite a lot!) and is always there to guide others. His caring attitude and his calm demeanor is what defines Rahul bhai and these qualities help him get respect from our Shortillay group :P (his room is our group’s common room and party room at times :P). I am sure even if I don’t keep touch with him (which I would definitely not! :P), he would keep in touch and be there for me when needed like always :) Rahul Bhai! Good luck with naukri, bunglow aur gaadi :) ...HITESH H CHANDNANI

Rahul bhai! If there is one guy at campus who has a larger-than-life persona, it is him! In spite of us not being in any of the common friend circles, he has always treated me like one of his best friends. A guy who will go out of his way to help not just friends but also people in general. I mean I have not spent a lot of time with him but still I can clearly talk candidly about anything to him. Has a big heart not only to

help but also to forgive and forget, knows the meaning of living life king size! Interesting to see someone who has spent 4 years in the industry have a nature like you! The Paris trip was fun man. He has killer one liners and I believe with his helpful nature & ability to engage masses, he should look into politics as an option soon (not kidding)! :P Have fun bhai, and Iâ??ll make sure we keep in touch....ISHAN BOSE

I met Rahul for the first time as group mates in first term. Rahul is one of the most fun and caring people on campus and it doesn’t take long to find that out. :) We had a lot of fun working at his room mostly because he used to have a huge assortment of namkeens at his room. :) The most amazing thing about Rahul is everybody right from all students to people at bars we go to drink not only know Rahul but absolutely adore him. Its an achievement which can’t be achieved without you been truly good at heart and I always look up to Rahul in this regard. Also he is one of the most jovial guys I have met and his one liners are famous all over the campus. He is one of those rare people who you can count on in times of trouble and be sure of him to help you. He is a true ladies man though it was not very apparent on campus. :P Above all this Rahul and I did have quite a few great times together and I wish he continues to be the life of parties that he had always been and wish him a really great career and life ahead. Keep it going Rahul Bhai!! :D...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

The Godfather of PGP 2012-14 batch, Rahul Bhai has probably had more people stay at his place in Munich than I have known in IIM Indore. No seriously, one of the defining moments when I truly grew to respect him was during Exchange when he fitted in 9 people in a small one bedroom apartment for 3 nights. But that’s the kind of person he is, friendly, jovial and the life of the party. Half of PGP2 lingo (short kya de raha hai!) has been coined by him. He is the go to guy on campus for anyone who needs any kind of help. And this means that people will go to any extend to reciprocate this as well. Other than that, stories of his amazing trading skills are lore on campus. Voyage Capital’s got nothing on him. Lastly, if it was not for him, I think I would not have made half of the friends I did on campus and I think this is true for most of his friends. So, thanks for the great times Rahul Bhai!...SIDDHARTH JAIN

Rahul bhai is probably the only one in the batch who needs no introduction; if you don’t know him, he’ll make sure you do by the end of the day. I once saw him invite this PGP 1 guy to his room and make him do the bhangra just cos he happened to bear a resemblance to Rahul bhai.

One can never get bored sitting in Rahul bhai’s room - there’s always an endless supply of stick cricket tournaments and an endless stash of ‘chakna’ to pass around. If you’re lucky enough to grab his phone while his messages are still open, you’ll find him being smothered with ‘Kishes’ from unknown sources :P This is a guy who wil never be alone in his life, his magnetic personality always draws people toward him.

Add a number of witty one liners (many of which I confess I don’t understand) and a genuine concern for others, and he is irreplaceable for anyone who’s come to know him. People will be repeating Rahul bhai’s one liners long after we’ve parted ways but my favourite is the one Adhit and I accidentally came upon while helping him with his NPAD - ‘I want to be a leader and not a boss because leaders lead but bosses only boss around’ XD! Rahul bhai, never change!...ANOORAG BISWAS

Wow!! Too much is said about him in the previous testimonials!! That itself shows such amount of love and respect which Yadav has gathered from all of us here in the campus. Well, do I need to say more?

Sure, because he is special and because I can boast of being his first friend here in IIM Indore, even before we entered the campus. Right back in Rendezvous’12. We hit it off the moment we entered the lift together in the hotel (We just needed Abhish a few minutes later to complete the really â??Raantiâ?? trio!!). Yeah, such a nice time it was.

Here comes a cliché and rightfully true that I would miss this campus only because of the time we spend together, you me and Abhish. To all people, Yadav is a gifted person when it comes to making and sustaining relations. He knows how to strike the right chord and make an important place in the hearts of people he comes across.

That has earned him the rightful title of â??Rahul Bhaiâ??, though I prefer calling him Yadav. Very clever, witty and is always there to help around. Has apparently (just saying, itâ??s â??actuallyâ??) long list of girlfriends which he prefers to avoid discussing about. Itâ??s impossible to be in the campus without knowing Rahul Yadav. Such is his level of â??Bakarâ??. Very funny armoury of one-liners he has, which I am sure would be used by all those around him for years to come, Iâ??m sure. I would always remember the time we spend together, whether it was just sitting blank in your room during summer placements, during RIP, each time we have been in Classic or PD or 26 hills, and those â??Bhasadâ?? parties at your room. Itâ??s getting pretty difficult for me as I realise while writing this testimonial that I might not have your company in the future, but Iâ??m damn sure weâ??d meet

up someday and just hit it out the same way weâ??ve been doing this till now. I wish the best for you in future. Keep rocking. Be in touch. Iâ??m sure youâ??ll be. And ha, shaadi kar le ab.:-P ...Ankit Rajshekhar Mate

Rahul, Section-A owes the best and the only section party to you! It wouldn’t have been possible without you. I, like many others, am guilty of quoting your hilarious one-liners. You are such a natural leader and I know that’ll take you places. Here’s wishing you all the success in the world....

ANKITA SATIJA

One of the many people I made friends with during exchange but one of those few who are my closest pals. A person with a knack for throwing up one liners and a great sense of humor, he can easily bring a smile on your face. A great company to hang around with and someone with whom its difficult to get bored with even if its chit-chatting on facebook :P .Very helpful and has a great concern for people. One person who was constantly in touch with me on exchange and extended whatever help he could even when we were not that good a friends then. Will always remember the time when I used to share all my Eurotrip experiences with him and sometimes crib for being alone and he used to be like “Tu dude hai ladki” :P . Would miss your company and the bakar but would stay in touch with you forever. :D...SUPRIYA THUKRAL

Rahul Bhai!!! Easily the person with best sense of humor in the entire college and you are far far ahead than the second one. not even 5 minutes pass without your one liners and most of them are superbly amazing.

Aapko apne bade bhai jaisa samjha hai rahul bhai! You are the best person whom anyone can have as a friend, brother or mentor. Agar aap indore na hote to C block ki party famous na hoti. Aur kuch to boast kar liya karo bhai....itna talent ho kar batate hi nh logon ko. Matlab gajab ho aap.... main to apni salalry aapko hi de rha hun invest karne ko...mutual fund se bhi zyada safe hai. and placements main bhi u were like the person whom one could look upto....koi change nh except for one watsapp status which u still deny bhai, Bhai aapko bhulne ka kisi main dum nh....jisse bhi aap mile ho na wo aapko kabhi bhul hi nh sakta aur aap jaisa saathi kismat waalo ko hi milta hai... RIP main kya mauj aayi thi aapki wajah se.....”kya bakchodi hai”, “Shot mat de” ye sab aapne hi famous kiya hai...aur paaji ki itni mat liya karo yaar....:P Will miss u a lot Rahul bhai....VP sahab I must say now. Aise hi rahna rahul bhai....aapki wajah se kum se kum aas paas ke 15 lpg to khush rahenge....u rock rahul bhai...u rock!!!! ...PAVITRA YADAV

Bhai Bhai Bhaiâ?¦ Whatte personality he is! Much has been said about Rahul bhai, and itâ??s still not enough! You can carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, and one visit to Rahul bhai, and rest assured, youâ??ll forget about the world for those few minutesâ?¦ Met him during the bakra days, and his bakchodi capabilities were evident during bakra! Then heard about how he beats Voyage Capital Day-in and Day-out! But wo sab to chalta rahegaâ?¦ The way he treats every person is what sets him apart. Bhai matlab bhai ki tarah hi rakhte hain Rahul Bhai! And the jokes, and the one-liners, and the classic delivery, has has ke pait mein dard ho jaata hai, aansu nikal aate hain! I cannot remember a single conversation with Rahul Bhai that has ended without one such cheer-faad moment. Some of his classics include â??Zinda rahe to phir milengeâ??, â??Bas Duaa mein Yaad Rakhnaâ??, â??bhookha nahi mar raha hoonâ??! Rahul bhai was our quintessential point of contact and stay when going anywhere on exchange, and true to his bade-dil-wala status, his words were always, â??Aa jaao yaar, dekha jaayegaâ??! The few times we went drinking, in spite of my memory loss abilities at such times, all I remember is Rahul bhai and his love for dal snacks at Classic! One might achieve all the success in his life, but it would be tough for him to be what Rahul bhai is to people, a true bhai! I hope you succeed like nobody else has, and continue to enjoy life the way you do! Party mein bulaana matt bhoolna bas!...PARTH KAPOOR

Rahul bhai....my partner in last men standing :) :) Your one liners are the best ones I have heard. ‘Shot mat de’has become famous only because of you. The funniest jokes are the ones heard at your room. The time spent in Guna are the most hilarious. This guy knew every person in town starting from the owners at a sweet shop to the collectors boss. The collector was surprised to know that Rahul had called up his boss to tell him that we did not get room in Guna even before we had stepped a foot in the collector’s office. Section R became famous during the freshers nite. Even though I missed it but I could relive the experience through other’s words. Guna 3.0 is still pending but 2.5 was gr8 fun too. We could not meet during exchange but C block has made up for it and then some. RD our favorite watering hole is somewhere you are always visible and conversation is truly awesome. Stay like this always and keep in touch...ARINDAM MAJUMDAR

Agraz...Rahul bhai...respect...undoubtedly the best sense of humor on campus...it was gr8 that we were part of the same group during RIP... had an awesome time..stay the way u r..and all the best for ur trading

endeavors...paise banate jao...aapka anuj.....SUGEET MITTAL

Dei one awesome fellow you are :) I remember all our meetings in RD and PD than in Campus :P :) I ll remember all the nuisance we created at RD on the day you got placed :) :D you were one of the few guys who make others cheerful in campus :) My Best wishes for your future:) Stay in touch Mama :D :D...KAVINKUMAR R

Rahul Bhai, I will not bore you with a long testimonial. You are one of the most like guys on campus ( in fact I am late to write here and I think there are not many points about u left to mention). Remember some nice moments we had ( that night preparing for MAC ET mugging up all the financial ratios. You were the one who woke me up and informed me that I had got into Bosch during summers. You were also one of first to come and wish me after placements). Just stay the way you are. ATB.!...SUMANTH J

Gaav basa nahi..bhikari aa gaye! Paasport photo bhi chahiye..aur pair bhi aane chahiye! Phone laga..me baat karta hu! Bhaisaabâ?¦you and your one liners are awesome: D VP saale! From Rendezvous at Mumbai to standing in line on the first day to I block to first time at Mashaal to Guna to PD to RD to packing my bags from C Block, you have been there. And I know you will be there aage bhi. Sutta marnaa sikhaya..sutta paas karna sikhaya..mera pehla peg banaya..har bakar me saath..I donâ??t think Iâ??ll ever get a neighbour like you again. My Hindi and Marathi are surely jumbled up and Mate and you have taken full advantage of that. Remember the â??mendak-truck-ke-neeche-aaya-toh-expressionâ??:P Coz of you I met Subodh â?? another great person. Both of you have been with me through thick and thin, you guys are wonderful. Wish you the best for everything in life, touch me toh apan hai hi ï?? ...Abhish Nair

The man who is called Rahul bhai by one and everyone that I know. A term called “great Samaritan” needs to be coined for this man’s magnanimity. One of the most affable people in the campus. Had the fortune of sharing the same hostel block for two years. Remember you dancing to Honey Singh and remembering every word of it during Nagde’s birthday.

The best part about you is that you can make even the most unsociable people at ease with your demeanor. You are probably one of the kindest people around and I just sincerely hope that you remain this way. You, as has been mentioned and referred to umpteen times in the testimonials, are the life of the party and every social setting you are a part of one. Have a great life ahead Rahul bhai. Keep bringing cheer to people around you as you have always done :) :) :)...SAYAN BAGCHI

Rahul bhai, the life of any group. The way you get everyone to feel involved and comfortable is a skill rarely possessed by people. Its just so easy approaching you and knowing you would go out of the way to help. Its been wonderful knowing you these two years. Wishing you the best of times ahead :)...KARANDEV SINGH KAMRA

Rahul Bhai, as we all call him is one of the awesomest dude in the entire campus. Had he been a section himself, he would have won section wars because of his performance that day. An awesome talented guy who seems to know every single Indian language (at least the abuses). This guy has a great sense of humor, he almost make us choke every time we drink with his jokes. An initiative taker and an kick ass guy to party with. Cheers bro!!...SENAJIT CHAKI

Rahul Bhai! The first day I saw you, I thought you were this extremely quiet, reserved person. You remained a quiet person when you were not around your friends. I was blessed enough to see your other side as well. An absolutely fun loving, dedicated and probably the most loyal friend you could ask for. I never forget how you bought namkeen from the city for us almost every time you went home just because we asked. You are absolutely self-less and have enough finance knowledge to teach most of the professors on campus. You are a great friend! Cheers to life and all the best for some wonderful years ahead :) ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

We met for the first time at a small hangout session outside gate 2. I found you as an effervescent person, good sense of humour and very lively. I would fondly remember for our low profile parties at classic and trance. your jokes and those popular cliches of your would be fondly remembered. A very friendly person and who mesmerises with his simplicity and good humour. Wish you good luck for your future and stay in touch :)...TEJINDER KUMAR NEGI

Waise Bohot kuch ho chuka hai ..Main bas itna hi kahunga Banda ye bindaas hai ... Chahe inki kuch rasmein ho chahe Talent night mein bikhera hua jalwa ... jo karte hain dil kholkar aur yaadgaar .... bohot umda bande hain ... I hope we remain friends in the future also ......

RAVI MAHESHWARI

Rahul bhai-I knew so little of you before exchange! You are so friendly and make others feel so much at ease. We spent so much time in Vienna and in Munich and those will stay with me :) I love the ease

with which you pull off different accents when talking to people of different nationalities..haha :p Do keep in touch and wish you the best for the future ...KUSHAL JAJOO

I don’t think there’s a single person on campus who doesn’t like Rahul bhai. Always smiling and ready to help his friends without hesitation. He can take anyone’s case and everyone listens when Rahul bhai talks. An amazing person who earns your respect within 5 minutes of meeting him.

Glad to have met you Rahul bhai. VP is just a stepping stone for you.

Knowing you, you’ll reach the top very quickly in life. ...ADITYA BALARAMAN

Rahul bhai, You are undoubtedly the most fun person to hang out with in college. Classes in first year would have been unbearable if it were not for you and Anshu Bhai. I will always remember the very few CPs that you gave. :P It was hilarious seeing you speechless whenever a prof asked you anything. 3rd term when we used to play cards in Utpalâ??s class was amazing. Almost every dialogue that you speak has people laughing with tears. Your â??short mat deâ?? has now officially become the punch line of the campus. Exchange would have been a lot less fun if you had not been in Munich. Berlin and Prague were one of the most memorable trips of all. I will never forget the accents you spoke after getting wasted in Berlin. :D Rahul Bhai I am always confident that I can come to you for any advice or guidance to you and I would not be disappointed. You have been one of my best friends from the day we started sitting together thanks to the PGPO. And I am sure we will remain that way for a very very long time to come. I was overjoyed when I heard that you became a VP. I am sure you will do well and enjoy great success in whatever you do. We will keep in touch. Cheers. ...RISHABH SINGH

If I were asked, what is the one thing that makes Indore worth living, I would answer â?? Rahul bhai ke one liners”. Everything else is secondary.

‘Nuff said. Just beware when 2 years worth of frustration is directed at you compressed into a few cryptic phrases, it can sometimes be lethal :P. Jokes apart, unarguably the “Khatta King” of IIM Indore, this chilled out dude has an uncanny knack of livening up the atmosphere with his unique comments and an unparalleled sense of humour. He is a fun loving, hard working and focused guy who can impress anyone with his wit. You can feel the positive change in atmosphere with his presence. He is always there whenever in need of some help. One in a million guy he is ! It is so very hard to find a person like him. Whether its 2 in the morning or 4 in the evening ..you need him and he’ll be there. His friendship, his love in

unconditional for all his buddies. And as much as I have known him I feel he is one of the sweetest guy n campus. You rock dude :) . Don’t ever change. May you have a marvelous life ahead full of success and happiness. Do keep in touch !!...NIKHIL SHARMA

Rahul bhai is an amazing person....We had interacted little in first year but he is so friendly that you get along with him pretty well even after one meet... Had an amazing time with him during the Oktober fest where he was a superb host... He has a wonderful sense of humour and is a very down to earth person with a bindass attitude... He has taught me how to say “Short mat de” and now I can use it almost anywhere :D Best of luck for future and milte rehna :)...UDIT BOKARIA

The dude of Section A-who made the only section party possible for the class. ultimate jugaadu :D Extremely witty. Kab kahan aapki maar len aapko khud ko pata na chale. Rahul has a great attitude which along with his great sense of humor makes him a superb person to be with. No wonder, he has so many friends on campus and away. He is instinctively genius about stocks and yet gives you so much respect while talking to you about the same. We became friends early in the course just because of this common love of ours towards the market and tried to forged that partnership firm. I wish you all the best for your future and lots of successes in the stock markets....VIVEK THEBARIA

Bhai yahan ka saara extra curricular tumhare tips se hi chala hai. Be it rip or exchange or anything work where i needed help on how to do jugaad and work it out. tumne saamne se aake jitna ho saka hain utni madat ki hain. tumhara har tip ne muje famous banaya hain :p keep helping in the same way. you are seriously one awesome friend and great adviser. Cheers...KASHIMPURIA NIKHILKUMAR SUBHA

“Amma puchhdi, sun dhiye meriye” Sath gaaye gaane yaad ayenge :) ...JAIPAL MANDYAL

In spite of being in the same class haven’t interacted much with you apart from our IV. those visits to Devas were torturous, weren’t they?

Having you around made it so much better coz someone was as disinterested as I was :P I guess our entire section owes our only section party to you :) Wish you the best for your future :)...SONIKA KHURANA

Rahul Bhai..Super senior from VJTI..We have known each other since Rendevous. I got to know how helpful you were during JPC elections.

Thanks to you we had our section party. The entire campus respects you.

Stay the same. You will do really good in Life. Cheers!!...Variksh Thaker

Rahul Bhai..the most amazing person on the campus....life at campus would have been much much boring without you...your witty one liners and jokes which made me laugh in the first year including “bhagwan ne muh diya toh kuch bhi bolega” and others...your man management and trading skills .....the card games in the first year classes...YOU ROCK!!! ...Always ready to help...made possible our one and only section party... all the best for your career and life...ALL THE BEST...ANSHU KUMAR

Rahul bhai, I truly admire your way of getting along with people (be it here in India or Prague :P) Also, your one liners :) You go to any lengths to help people around you. Instances I would like to recollect down the years â?? our gujarati conversations, bakar sessions in our wing, aapki European accent, humara unique handshake style..Itâ??s been a pleasure to have made memories with you at Planet-I, Rahul bhai..I sincerely hope that you remain lively as always!...AGARWAL ROHAN RAJENDRA

RB, you have been an elder brother to the group of ours here at IIM Indore.

We love it jab log humare group ko rahul bhai ka group bolke address karte hain :) If I had not known you, I would not have met half the people I hang out in campus with. There are two very different sides to you. One is that of an active trader who has come to college with 4 years of work ex and has contacts even in Maharashtra transport buses and then there is this Rahul who represented section G in the talent night :) However, the best part about you is that you get things done, this way or that. The not so good thing about you would be that very often (and this has started in 2nd year) you are lost in your thoughts and then never tell us the reason behind it. I think (No, I know) that you will do well in your career because you can connect to people easily and from what I have seen, thatâ??s the most important quality. And do remember what Nagdev told you the other day at RD, draw a line somewhere and identify the people that really matter. Shaadi waadi karlo yaar :) ...MANISH KUMAR MANU

Whole batch calls you by Rahul Bhai, but you are always being Yadav for Abhish, Mate and Me. I still remember the day you introduced me to Abhish and Mate, and I knew that I would never be alone on this campus.I will always remember the bakar we did and those parties at your room.

You are the one whom I can approach with my problems and you always give your helping hand. Your one-liners have a cult following on the campus. You are definitely the most resourceful guy here....PANKAJ

DNYANDEO KOLTE

Rahul Bhai ! The most revered person on the campus. Trust me you are the favourite of many including me. There is never a dull moment around you. Be it your one liners or your unique insights into everything. I absolutely cherish all those bus journeys to Mumbai and back to campus. You remember just before our first trip to Mumbai when we both were scolded by Ghosh, when we entered his room and he asked: Grandfather/ Grandmother. Also the relieved look on our faces when we went to see our Cost accounting paper ï?? You know Rahul bhai, I can recount hundreds of such moments which I truly cherish only because of you. One of the main factors that helped me survive those intolerable assignments of Term IV was your presence. Playing TT, drinking sessions, eating your ghar ka khaana are all a treat. You have always been so very kind, hospitable and helpful. You came all the way to pick us up in that cold early morning in Munich. These are the small actions that make a genuine and a truly helpful person. I am proud to be in the same block (I-block), same section and to have a friend like you. I dunno about you but I am definitely going to stay in touch whether you are in Mumbai, Bhopal or anywhere else ï?? ...PARASRAMPURIA ASHISH MAHESH

Rahul bhai....One of the funniest people I have ever known in my entire life. I first met him on the Gate 2 dhaaba and we connected instantaneously. One liners to bhai inks poor college mien famous hain. Ekta mien shakti , akele mien fatti hai, vo kashti vala doha, and many more.

Vo RIP ki bakchodi I will always remember right from the hotel to chaupeji. That said, he is a gem of a person and is always there to help you out. Cheers for all the good times we had and all the good times we will have. I will always cherish the imd spent with you here. Stay in touch. Wishing you the very best for your life ahead....HARKIRAT SINGH

Rahul bhai! One of the wittiest persons I have ever met. Your sense of humor is simply brilliant - you can become a stand up comedian in life if you wish to :D And the best part is that your humor never hurts anyone. One of my prof’s used to tell me to be a person who laughs with people, but not at people! I think you are a person who fits this description fully. This, along with your humble and helping nature makes you a very likable character. Also, thank you for organizing the section party last year :) All the best for your future!...ALOK GANESH HEGDE

APU YASAR ISHNA IKR VAMS

Hello Guru..! It was so fortunate that we are side by side in the seating arrangement. I cherish all our jokes, discussions and mockery on each other and profs. I learnt a lot of things in my life (professional and personal) interacting with you.I appreciate the tact and humor in your words. I still believe you can make a fantastic direction career ahead. I hope you have a great time in life and career and rock everywhere you are. Cheers..! ...AMBATI AVINASH

Surya of IIM I, Thats what comes into my mind whenever I see my this guy-one of my best friends on campus- I was always welcome in his room, I would go to his room, and do bakar for long hours(sadly only in 5th and 6th term), but it was awesome. Great to have such a friend.

Stylish like a hero. The way he walks-typical hero. I wish you all the great success in life. Hope you do well, and we keep in touch always.

All the best...!! ...SHAUNAK VISHWAKARMA

Dear Vamsi.... You are best thing that ever happened to me <3... I love your smile, hairstyle, walking style, dressing style and even your handwriting :P.. No seriously.. When I see u I can see James Bond barring the cursed H-factor and Suriya without the muscles at the same time..

I mean its magical :D.. Now serious.. like for real.. You are a great friend.. Fun.. Cool.. Handsome.. Hardworking.. Optimistic.... I always loved our conversations, debates and arguments about some of the most random things from movies to characters, music to books, girls to girls :D and Particularly hometown :P.. Get married soon and give us the next gen bonds and suryas... May Kakinada bask in the glory of your mind-boggling achievements.. God Bless You.. God Bless America :D.....!!! ...Nikhilesh...NIKHILESH MURALA

Vamsi .. If there is a movie on Sachin with Surya acting in that roleâ?¦ Can you imagine how it would be?? I get the same feeling whenever I see you playing cricket. An ardent film viewer. Very smart and witty. Many times we cant differentiate whatever you said is sarcastic or real. Cool, Stylish and buoyant.. Some birds are not meant to be caged their feathers are just too bright. I hope to see you on page-3 someday!! Keep in touch. Have a great life!!...SURESH MALLULA

Dude! Shaunak stole my chance to say it first! But he’s right, Surya of IIMI indeed! But a rowdy version :P Despite being neighbors in first year, we always caught up only in the gym man! Ironic that only after we moved to diff blocks that we started running into each other more often :P Initially thought you were an aggressive, cold guy but realized that was just you being the no-nonsense, level guy that you always are :) Don’t ever change that rowdy gait man, it adds to our group’s ‘street’ cred :D Looking forward to pulling your leg when I come to attend your marriage! :P Stay in touch till then and beyond, cheers!!...Avinash Chidambar

Vamsi ~ a shy looking guy (he ONLY looks shy :P).....Had a great time with him during RIP ..Being wing-mates, this guy would disturb ( :P ) me every day just to download ‘n’ number of movies from DC....He is a friend who believes in ‘A friend is not a friend, if he does not insults you’ :P He is a born entertainer ( hope u remember what I am talking about). Jokes apart, Vamsi you are a very helpful and humble person....You have a great sense of humor...I will miss all the happy times we had at IIM Indore......I am sure you have the potential and talent to make it big in life.....I wish u all the luck, success and happiness in life...You will be missed....So better stay in touch.....Cheers!!!!...KARAN RATHOD

Bond... though i never understood this nickname.. for me you will always be the ‘Sallu bhai’ of planet-i.... that i the one thing that i enjoy making fun of most... you walking style is really hillarious.. :D i really like your cool mocking attitude.. its fun to hangout with you.. and blackmail you.. although blackmailing you never bore any fruits.. but it was fun though.. :P atleast now you are seriously trying to letting go of that stinking habit.. atleast i hope you are... :) we have had some good moments in RIP.. those little bitching sessions.. if you know what i mean.. ;) I have really enjoyed the time i have spent with you.. dont ever change (may be change one or two habits.. :P).. be this awesome person you are.. and yeah.. do be in touch.. :)...BYRISETTY SUSHMITHA

The guy who always greets me with “Hey fucker!!” :D...Cricket buff, fan of Indian Cricket and a true foodie(Nafees bro)...have had some wonderful times with you here man, both sober and drunk! :D....

Solid guy with a “Bitch-Please” attitude and at times quite funny with his jokes.Will miss you a lot man....wishing you the best in Life. :)...

VISHNU.V.A

Cricket .. Cricket..!! My team Captain and I am his first option :) Thank you :P We had many memories both in F & I blocks. We defended a score of just 2 runs, Scored a partnership of 82 (5 overs). Won 14 matches in a line and of course lost many. Many things happened and changed over time except one. Guess what..? Good one... We were always in the same team :) ... That is what he is, It takes time for him to trust & believe in people but if it once happens he will not miss you at any cost even if you say â??No. I do not want, please â?? :P .. On the other side of his matured personality, He likes kids. Though he looks like one but he is not :P.. He is committed to work, smart looking blaah blaa :) [ Everyone mentions these thingz, so I am skipping]...

Seriously one needs to look into his face when someone is making fun of him. The way he defends..Loll :P .â??Aapeyâ??, â??Please..! chachipovalanundhiâ?¦ Aa comparision enti â?¦.. â?? are the most common words in the hour of need... More importantly all those chitchats that we had during the class time in the last two terms, sure I will never able to forgot them :D All d best to U & to your Sachin -- Venkata Ramesh V ...VENKATA RAMESH V

The stud of Section Eâ?¦ Not just by looks, but overall personality!! :P Talking to you always cheered me up, the way you praised me for no reason!! Never really found out if you were sincere or pulling my leg!

Had a great time at SRF during our IV and after that too!! Wishing you all the very best for your future, personally and professionally. Keep in touch!...BAPAT ABHISHEK VISHWAS

I had really awesome time with him. We both were in Bakra group together and then in 3rd floor of J-Block as well. He is a fun person to be with. Because of him we had an awesome fun time at 3rd floor. Thank you all the fun moments. Well some interesting facts about him. He is Sallu of J-Block. He is like angry your man of 70â??s. As soon as we realize that I am nearby he starts abusing. Wish him all the best for future...... Hope our path will cross again in future. ...HITESH KUMAR CHAND

isett l e Y y Sanja

The guy with the “intense looks” ;) Alright I understand you are a placommer, but when you are not doing your duty, you can afford to give that smile - the one of a newly married girl, which you give so often :P. A really fun person to be with, he doesn’t mind no matter how much you pull his leg. Most of our “encounters” are best kept as Johnnys secret; not disclosing them here. But whenever you will read this years down the line, they will surely flash across your mind :D. All the best at Samsung and wherever you go thereafter. Hope to meet you soon in the future :)...MAINAK BHOWMIK

Sanjay.... you are a very interesting character that i came across in the institute.... I have always enjoyed your company whatever the short time we spent talking in class.... especially that tic-tac-toe which you taught me will always be in my mind.... would love lo play another one soon ... leave out the serious face and smile once in a while :P..... keep in touch buddu.......GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Industrial Visits.. The stuff 5 of us used to talk about.. shit.. Now that I think of them in retrospect, those were the good times that will not come again.. and then AMR classes.. no idea what is going on in lecture.. trying to jugaad for answers from here and there.. Dude, keep in touch and wishing you all the success in life.. :)...PRAKHAR PORWAL

Wow, what a guy! Finally I meet someone who shares the same taste for various stuff (;) ;) ) as I do...and right beside me for the entire first year. Being your benchmate was awesome shit man...sleeping in class, getting caught together while sleeping, etc etc...I’ll really remember the fact that you were always there for me whenever (and I

mean whenever) I was in doubt...you have been a real good friend man and I thank you for that. :) All the best for life and do well (I’m sure you will) :) :)...JAYANT ANKUR KUJUR

Yelli, you were amongst my first friends in the campus. I remember the times we used to laugh about your brief teaching career. You have one of the best work ethics that I have seen in our batch, keep it up. Looking forward to worki with you as collegues and to make tons of memories there as well :) ...Parag Jain

I guess I got to know you a lot more towards the end of the course. A fun person to be with.You had the intense look but always gave that away with the smile which you would try and hide but couldnt! :P All in all an interesting guy. All the best! :)...BHASKAR MANDELIA

You have been a good mentor. Learnt a lot of things from you. I have put you into quite a few embarrassing situations :P. Thanks for being cool about that . It has been great knowing you. All the best for your future and keep smiling! (not that one needs to mention it :P)...SUNITA MISHRA

Yelli- You are one of the closest friends I have on campus and I regret having not talked to you much in the first year. You are strange, controversially weird, slightly quirky, overtly brand conscious, intentionally introvert guy; but the thing which is most striking about you is the fact that you are honest and sometimes too honest. There are so many fond memories that we have had together and I will always remember your room which was like a ‘Dharmashala’ for us wandering souls. You need to understand that I can’t write a overtly sentimental testimonial otherwise everyone will again tease us to be a couple. But I will say this, always stay happy and keep smiling; if not for us then for the millions of girls who still fall flat on your smile. I know you would be feeling sad that IPM students are not allowed to write Testimonials otherwise your page would have been flooded by now! Anyway, stay cheerful and stay awake during the day! Cheers!...TANMAY LALIT TAPASE

Yelisetti Sanjay. I think our friendship began simply with how fascinated I was with your name. I will surely miss shouting your name out randomly (and maybe embarrassing you) and drinking with you at RD (the best time Iâ??ve had with you). Badaam milkshake pee pee ke â?? you transformed from JPC to the Samsung guy!! Donâ??t stop drinking!! Keep in touch!! ...SHAH SOHAM SAMIR ANJANI

Yelli, you are the coolest ones in our placement committee. I can remember the fun times we’ve had - our night mess and bakar ;) I simply love your Hindi :P I hope you will always remember “NOW IS THE TIME” (pun intended) :P Stay as cool as you are and always be in touch. Zada chinta mat kario kisi ki :P Love and kisses :P \m/...SIDDHARTH MATHUR

We had great time in Sec D (last benchers) during first year. All the best for a wonderful career. ...VIGNESH A P

You are a stern looking fun loving person with good sense of humor.

Enjoyed working with you & thanks for all the valuable advice you gave in the most needed time. I have always appreciated your dedication.

Let the same spirit continue. All the best for your future. Have loadss of fun now:P & keep smiling:):) ...MUNNANGI SREE MEGHANA

Yellishetty!! The Perfect Perfetti guy :P You have always proven the adage “Looks are deceptive” by your serious and nerdy looks. You are the first person I met on campus and never I thought that we could get along this well. Extremely cherish the times we spent in First year( before Placom happened :P) together. I still appreciate the fact that you were extremely professional in keeping the JPC stuffs a black box to me :P. You are one of the coolest guys in our team who always tried to keep the temper low. I still remember the good times we spent in J Block as neighbours, sharing theories of life over night mess chai and pondering over random campus happenings. Sanjay, to me, you are an epitome of friendliness by the very nature of your behavior. I like you for your frankness and keeping-things-simple attitude. Perfetti was good to me mostly because I knew you were around. Remember HRC and the times we were hitting on the chicks around us? :P ATB macha. Rock Samsung and do stay in touch ever. Hope they post you somewhere in the interiors of S.Korea :P ...RAHUL S

Sanjay yelisetti.. I have known you right from the early days on this campus.. same section same block same committee.. we have shared a lot of unforgettable moments that Iâ??ll never forget. You are an amazing person to know.. Though we both have quite a difference age wise, but never actually felt so.. words are not sufficient enough to explain our friendship. Those wonderful moments be it in ofc, or be it in your lovely room & on that bean bag of yours.. u have been my movie and sitcom advisor so much that Iâ??ll always be in touch with you for

this :P Serious stuff now.. really appreciate the hardwork you had put in as a placommer.. often used to wonder at your maturity level in handling processes and interaction with hrâ??s.. you are someone who puts out your opinion straight forward and word them so nicely (esp some of ur adjectives to describe ppl). It has been nice knowing you dude. You have a long long way to go in your life. All the best for an excellent career & do stay in touch :) :) Keep smiling :) ...SIMPSON SELWYN

Sanjay..i have known you since gitam and was really excited to know that someone from batch was studying here. you helped me a lot in the initial days and i was really surprised in the beginning to know that you were in playcom , but still you helped me whenever i asked for advice. you are really a nice person and i know you have a great future. i wish you all the best for your future life.. stay in touch...:)...SHASHI KANT SHARMA

I still don’t get it why they are zero updates from your fb page from the time you have joined IIM Indore. Whatever the reason may be, you are my guru and shall continue to be...Now, speaking about who you look like, my imagination marks you to “ THE DARK KNIGHT”. You have always been frank to me and i expect you to be the same in future too. Sanjay bhayya rocks!!!...EETI SANTOSH

Sanjay...the dude of J block and brother, buddy , best friend ever whom you can wish to have :).It is not possible to explain the time and friendship i shared with you here in such a short testimonial. The best place to chill if I ever felt a need was to come to your room and lay on the bean bag and have a long chat about any crazy topic and listen to music. You are one guy who will always be energetic and pumped up just by the thought of a party and a lot of planning would go but never succeed. The memories of all the masti’s in J block, you coming up with the idea of hanging up on the roof of J block which we actually followed. I know you don’t like being all senti but the memories are nothing less than having a family away from home. You are truly a treasure that I wish always stays with me and will try my best to never loose friends like you. Hope you always keep smiling and dare not forget me or I wont take a minute to kick your ass. Thanks for being a part of this journey and ATB for future, bdw I still think you should have talked to your crush for atleast once, still time :P ...HARSH RAJ

A person who keeps his loved ones closest to his heart. He is an awesome company to be with. I was greatly surprised when I became friends with him and realized how proficient he is at doing bakar :P . Talks sense and

logic. Respectful and courteous. Very hardworking and dedicated - the way he has worked being a placommer spaeks it all. Wish you a great life. Do keep in touch :)...SUPRIYA THUKRAL

Yellisetti - you are a very friendly person and great fun to be around.

I find you pretty much cool like the “The Dude” and the T-shirt looks awesome on you :D. You are very hardworking and dedicated person.

I had a great time with you at the RIP and its sad that we interacted very little during the second year :( .Keep being the sweet and humble guy you are and wish you loads of success ahead :) :)...UDIT BOKARIA

One of the most respected and mature guys on campus. San-jay analyses each and every alternative before he acts, a rare quality.

He makes even the weirdest conversations funny. Very focused on team bonding. I still remember your JPC campaign - wearing the same shirt as you did in the voting pic...good strategy! Hope to see you around!...SAI PRASANNA KUMAR LAVU

Ten years down the line, this is one guy you don’t want your wife meeting. So don’t ever call him for dinner, because banda jaisa dikhta hai, waisa hi hai :D, hadd tharki \m/. Jokes apart, Yelli, as I call him, is a very genuine, down-to-earth and a friendly guy, with a habit of getting awed very quickly ;-). He is very generous with his praise, a talent I both envy and appreciate! Well haven’t had the privilege of much interaction with you but in any case couldn’t have done without this...”The branded boy”..a great person to be with, great attitude.. calm and composed...and your hindi...i just love itâ?¦. Placom was so much fun because of you...Keep rocking and Keep in touch !! ...NIKHIL SHARMA

Sanjay.. I never get bored talking to him... Someone who you can totally trust, contrary to his self-proclaiming “I am really bad” attitude..

One thing I learnt from him is how well spoken he is with anyone at any time of the day no matter how stressed he is barring probably me and Harsh :P... The kind of guy who shows his anger to people only he likes or is close to... One of my best friends in my life... IIM Indore would have been different altogether had it not been for you..

U always supported me .. Never afraid to scold to make me do the right thing.. Only downside is you get to eat a lot of vegetarian food when you’re around him.. and he lives of chips and sev.. eat healthy you moron.. and ATB for your future.. I dont think we can stay out of

touch.. So bye.. for now.......NIKHILESH MURALA

Sanjay. You are one of my best friends and it will be the same for ever.

You are someone with whom I can discuss anything under the sun no matter how much we fight, argue and then make fun over those things. I remember those 1st yr wing days when we use to create some random noises ;) Everyone knows about your communication skills and I wish that you achieve everything that you desire :) Your love for some people was my favourite topic to discuss during HRC days in Mumbai and Night mess.

Placom discussion - they would never had been the same without you and I dnt think I wud ever be able to put words to the friendship that we have.

I will keep bugging you Sanjay even after the college :) ...MAYANK JAIN

Yelli, I got to know you in Term 2, Group 5 where you were always late for group meetings and came absolutely clueless as to what was going on. :P I have had the maximum amount of laugh over our EPC plight with you and used to find solace in your story. :P You are one person on campus with whose theories and philosophies (whatever little I have heard owing to our long but rare bakar sessions) I relate with the maximum. Your below the belt yet subtle humour cracks me up the most. Only regret I have to not have more of those awesome bakar sessions with you, Mayank and Harsh. I think we should sit for those insane sessions atleast once or twice before leaving campus. Also, don’t you worry because I am going to stay in touch and keep bothering you more than you think. :D You rock. :)...

SWATI VERMA

My first friend on campus.. Got to know you during Bakra.. Another example for how deceptive looks can be.. Looks like a no-nonsense guy..

You would say something so intellectual and then give a sheepish smile and then a “fool,you bought that crap?!” expression..You have a way of insulting people and not offend them.. :D One of the few people I’ve met in my life who’ve told me they don’t really like eating.. You are someone I feel I can call up anytime and discuss anything ( partly because, you never seem to sleep and I can be sure you are awake :P) It’s been great knowing you.. Keep in touch.. ...S KANCHANA

Yellli, the perfect Perfetti guy!! You were definitely the laughing bird of our team with your million dollar smile. I mean who can laugh while at same time yelling at someone. I loved making fun of your hindi accent and your trademark line, ‘Jjusssht bcozzâ?¦â?¦’. And ofcourse, your 1700 bucks ka sleepers. :P But I must admit you are one gem of a person who can make

everyone feel at ease. The best thing about you is that you are level headed and always think about the batch first. If not much, I surely remember some of the conversations we had in your room. And no matter what the topic of discussion is, you’ll always change it to youknow-what (Hint: Jagan’s bean bag). I consider myself lucky I got the opportunity to work with you and this past one year was fantastic. You are one person with a big big heart and a super chill attitude. I’m very much confident that you’ll get whatever you want in life. Always stay like this and keep in touch! :)...SIDDHARTH SINGHAL

Yelli ! You are one fun person to talk to for sure. And somehow whenever I see you, you always have a smile on your face. You are also an amazing sport. Pulling your leg is so much fun, because of the funny reactions you give :) You have a very distincive Andhra accent and one can immediately recognize your voice from anywhere. Always stay this way and be in touch so that I can pull your leg more :) ...BHOOMI DEEPAK THAR

Sanjay Bhaiyya - You have been very diligent, very focussed on work - much thanks for JPC selection efforts especially. I remember a time in first year when nobody in the process knew who you were (they showed us your photo in a task!) - look even the IPM people know you by name now :) You are the closest friend I’ve had here and it has been fun doing one-upmanship on sarcastic remarks. I regret that my attempts to learn Telugu from you did not materialize. Those Koreans are lucky to have a man with your refined taste in all things branded.

Stay in touch and keep smiling! ...Chandan Nikhil K

Sanjay..initially I thot you are a very serious person who barely talks and never smiles :P then got to know you during our IV visits which did prove me wrong but still it was hard to believe your confession “I’m very talkative” :P We surely had fun during our IV..gossiping about what not..stupid discussions on Prakhar’s doubts, bitching about the IV guy, deciding where to eat what to eat...and yeah thanks for the treat on our last day of IV :) I didn’t expect you would be serious about that :D remember our group assignment meetings in last term..and then presentations in class..one awesome group it was ;) You are a sincere guy who knows his priorities in life.. I’m sure you will do great in your life ahead. All the very best :) and yeah smile a lil more often ;) Stay happy :) Stay in touch :)...POOJA JUGRAN

One of the most intimidating people at first, he becomes the exact opposite when you get to know him. A hell lot of dedication stemming from the fact that he’s never been home once in his mba life and crazy lot of wannabe-ish gossip mongering is something I won’t forget about him. :P...LOKESH SHYAM RAISINGHANI

Sanjay.. a smart guy on campus and a part of the elite Placom..:) Got a chance to interact with you during Madhushree assignments and then during ppt making of PVR cinemas..:) Famous for his one liners and punches..possess a good sense of humour..:) I still remember the day when I got angry on you because you didn’t tell me the joining date and location of internship..lol..but still I find a good being in you..that anger just lasted for few seconds..:) You are a nice fellow and I wish to have more interactions with you in future..:) And start searching a job for me.. as you told me that I am going to leave this one soon..:P :) Wishing you all the best for future..:) Stay in touch..:)...NIKITA SHARMA

Sanjay Perfetti...I simply cherish the talks we had during first term :) Understanding you was one hell of a task..but I can surely say that I scored A :P ..Getting you on track was more difficult that studying for quizzes/assignments/placements etc..One thing of yours which annoy me the most.. well you know that :) I simply adore you for your attitude..I like teasing you for small things..I hope it makes you happy as well :) God Bless You...Stay in touch or else I will kill you...Smile :)...NAVNEET KAUR

BIA ZONO R SAFA

An honest admission - for about 10 days after we first spoke, I thought u were Shelly and Shelly was Zonobia ! :P Happens !! The fact that I am sharing this trivia, despite that we are not ‘close friends’ as such; shows that you are a person good at heart with whom others are always comfortable. Do live up to this spirit !! I wish you and your husband a very happy and prosperous life !! (P.S. This is my first post in the Yearbook ! :) ) ...AYUSH AGARWAL

Zono, (Adele of our college), sweet, charming girl. Though, we interacted only very late, perhaps 5th term or so through common friends, but it was always a pleasure talking to you. And can’t forget your Biryani, awesome, hope I get a chance again to taste that superb biryani and chicken dish. Good luck in life ahead !!...ARPIT TANDON

Zon!! Extremely talented,smart and cheerful,I can safely say that you are the voice of IIM Indore..I will not forget your Rolling in the deep :) I feel sorry for all the poor souls who built some hopes on you without knowing the fact that you are married :P Enough of flattering(I am not good in this :p).. On a serious note,you are one of the few whom I could always see with a smile..keep smiling Zon..You and Navin make a great couple..Wish you both a very happy life together..Just dont forget me..keep in touch :) ...RIZWAN MOHAMMED P A

Zon!!! One of the best persons I’ve met in campus with an amazing sense of humor.... especially during the parties we’ve had and the practice sessions we’ve had. I had an awesome time with you in the campus and specially the eyes popping out drawing your good at :P .....Great to be with you all:) ...GALI STEPHEN STANLEY

Zono!!! The first thing anyone can clearly notice in her, is her pleasant smile. On a fine day, people in my hostel suddenly started playing ‘Rolling in the Deep’ multiple times on full volume and this continued for quite sometime. After a while I came to know that someone called Zonobia had sung it. I became a fan of ur voice when I saw the footprints video. It was very difficult to spot u as u always maintained a very low profile inspite of being popular :P. From the very little interactions we had, I can say that u r a very down-to-earth person, very talented, friendly, brave (the way u attended B2B classes inspite of the prof asking not to), light-hearted etc.

Thanks for the wonderful biryani and hope I would taste it more in tvm :D! Wish u all the success in future and a happy prosperous life with Navin! ...PRABHU KIRAN ANUGARI

Superb singing talent! :D Yeah that had to be said :P You’ve been a really great listener whenever I had a chance to talk to you (away from the limelight and innumerable friends :P) Just recently came to know that you’re a mean pianist as well... Sooper-dooper talented aren’t ya? :P :D Btw I’m typing this after just having missed another one of your performances! :P Well, some things just shouldn’t change, what say? :) There’s a lot more that I can say here but I’ll hold back :P I know you’re thinking when have I ever eh? Hehehehe :) Cheers! All the best :)...Avinash Chidambar

Zon oh Zon!! You are a sweetheart! And what an amazing talent you have...the sort that gives one goosebumps!! I’m honoured to have shared the stage with you right from your (our) first performance for the Harmon-I auditions to your (our) last performance at Mridang....it was one hell of a journey, something I’ll cherish forever!! And I’ll never forget that phone call we had once, the contents of which will always remain between us (at least till we’re all gone :D)...gonna miss you and our Harmon-I days...All the best for life and please please pretty please, stay as you are... :) :)...

JAYANT ANKUR KUJUR

Zono....you are nice person..good friend....and an awesome singer with sexy voice.. All the best dear.... B SURE ND HAPI always...VISHAL LAXMAN BANSOD

Zon, the most talented singer in campus...I was blown away the first time I heard you sing,,,V have been friends and neighbours for 2 years and u were always there to lend a helping hand...Keep up ur cheerful spirit and I wish u the best in the world :)...LAKSHMI R

Zon love your voice gal... You should have gone ahead to be a super famous star... You still have time ;) Praise apart, You are cheerful and fun to be with...Our best time together was during RIP ... Stay the same bold and confident gal you are... I still remember your dare - laughed my ass off that day :D All the best for all your future endeavours da...

May Allah bless you......NADIA MOHAMMED ARIF

Zonobia, you have the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard and to go with that you have an even sweeter personality. It was fun suffering together in our ‘Zumba’ and the HOP. I wish you all the best for the future and I sincerely hope we stay in touch....ANKITA SATIJA

A very chirpy personality, always smiling and pulling people’s legs around. I do not remember how we got introduced but finally we ended up becoming very good friends. Undoubtedly the best female vocalist in the entire campus, she can easily give competition to Adele by singing Adele’s songs. I’m a big big big big fan of her voice, and i believe she’ll reach a greater height if she chooses music as a career.

An awesome fun person, always teasing people with her inappropriate jokes :P. Hope we stay in touch. All the best zono for your future!!...

SENAJIT CHAKI

Zombieee aka Amazon with the arrow going from Z to A :D Enjoyed max with you over the two years..the amaing time at Harmon-I,right from the audition where we were part of the fusion to the immense privilege I had of listening to you sing from back stage and the crowd roaring “once more”. Remember listening to your madari performance while on exchange and pinged you the next instant because it was so awesome!! Will miss all the face paintings on sleeping harmoni folk with you acting as part photographer and part involved in the mischief :P and the hand painting with your typical set of 2-3 drawings..simply great fun..the atmosphere is always amazing and cheerful when u r around..whether my tondi stays or no, ill always be ur good old tondi :D Be the same amazing zombieee,always! :) ...SHRIKANTH LAXMINARAYAN

Zonobia! I will always regret not watching your performance of Madari live. We’ve been friends right from Bakra and I’m glad that it’s been that way. You’re an awesome artist and a fabulous singer. Continue to be cool :) ...VIVIAN PAUL GONSALVES

This is probably the most difficult testimonial Iâ??ll be writing, but I think what we had deserves a retelling. So here goes. Iâ??m sure you know this already and have heard it a million times, but I still have to say it.

You undoubtedly are the best singer on campus! I will always be inspired by the ease and flair with which you can sing every genre of music and how you make every song you sing, your own. I really think you should take up singing professionally. Harmon-I has become a force to reckon with today, and a huge chunk of the credit goes to you. It was amazing how your infectious passion for music and the club brought the team together in your term as the secy. Can never forget the all nighters weâ??ve pulled during practice sessions. And how all of us would be dead tired, but youâ??d be the only one going up to each person, either giving inputs, saying words of encouragement or just fooling around. Iâ??m among the few people who can boast of knowing you well since first year when you were pretty much in a cocoon. Thoroughly enjoyed bonding over our IV bus rides and gossiping while polishing off the Ferrero rocher boxes your mother-in-law would regularly send. Then second year happened, when I saw a pleasantly surprising transformation in you. From being in a cocoon to becoming a social butterfly. I got to see this whole new fun, mad, and extremely flirtatious side of your personality ;) Classes, dinners at dosa point, and HOP were super fun with you. Also, I will always take pride in the fact that I got you your first drink :P We might have drifted apart for reasons that Iâ??m not able to place my finger on as I write this. In retrospect, it all seems irrelevant. All said and done, you have been an integral part of my stay here, and the great times we had are something Iâ??ll always cherish. Hope you go on to become a great singer, so I can brag about having been in the same music band as you â?º ...KAVYA AMARNATH

The nightingale of IIM Indore tag goes to you, rightfully :P I used to attend Harmon-I shows just to hear you sing. I’d have never thought you’d be so down-to-earth, funny girl the first time I saw you on the stage. Quintessential mallu with a perverted mind and a great sense of humour, it’s hard to not smile when you’re around her. Always up for gossip, gossip and more gossip. Haven’t come across a lot of people who are smart, talented and funny at the same time but Zon is definitely one of them. Keep in touch, and keep singing :)...KIRAN RADHAKRISHNAN

The multi-talented Zon!! whattay personality.. People become ur fans first, den friends.. I spent some amazing moments wid u in RIP n bday celebrations.. U r always smiling n cheerful.. I’ve heard dat u r very sincere in

studies, but dat doesn’t suit u.. so stop being sincere!! :D All the best for future n keep in tch......RACHIT MITTAL

Zon, as I told, on the very first day, you drew attention for reminding me one of my friend (and now the equation is reversed :P). Well, I got more impressed with your multiple talent over the time and especially with your very sweet voice. I disclose others that, her singing in class (even during lectures) with her very low voice (that no profs has been able to listen) were even more sweet (and I feel good to make other people jealous for this :P). Well, she is very good at sleeping in class too without getting caught even once by profs. and I have got good inspiration and learning on this thing from Zon . :P. Zon, there are many more good things to appreciate, write and to remember about you . Wishing the best for you and your family and a bright future!!! ...Vinod Kumar

Zon...gal with amazing talent and a golden vocal chord.., a big fan of yours...songs u sang during RIP for us...Rolling in the deep left me mesmerised after which I used to play it in woofer at full volume...very friendly, humorous and a good orator. I remember the way u GPLed Rachit in his b’day...keep entertaining us with ur lovely voice and all the best for future ahead...YOGESH KUMAR PATEL

Zono you have been the sweetest person I have met on campus with your sweet Adele-ish voice. But what I enjoy the most about you is you pervertness...Haha...:) Your parallel thinking on topics which boys normally dread discussing with girls has been abosolutely hilarious.

The bond we shared during Kajri’s class has been possible because of your extremely affable nature. May you go places with your profound singing talent. Hope to be in touch with you forever. Cheers..:)...HARJAI AANIKET LALIT

Zon!! I can almost imagine you singing ‘we couldve had it allllll’.. overall, you’re an extremely nice person - soft spoken, a little timid (which disappears once you know someone) but always smiling. I remember having many lengthy discussions about music, choir, tones and discussing very many songs during the many bus journeys in HOP. I’m probably saying t for the nth time on this page, but “You really sing like a PRO!” Hope you become Adele or Shreya Ghoshal or better still ZONOBIA who’s a dash of them both! :)...Raoul Lopes

Zonobia .. Adele of IIM Indore .. everytime i hear u singing i am dumbstruck by your voice .. such an amazing voice you have .. you have a very pleasing personality and an even more pleasing smile .. a very poisitive person and full of enthusiasm i remember our section parties the fun we used to have dancing .. wish all the best for your future darling..stay blessed :)...SHELLY PAREEK

Zon..Chakkapothe! What should I write about you? IIM Indore wouldnâ??t have been same if it wasnâ??t for you. From the first Onam pookallam to the farewell, from silly fights to serious life decisions, from a lot of friends to just having each other as friends, in a car with a terrorist to street shopping â?? we have been partners in many crimes. Remember we did not talk to each other for a month during summers and randomly you called up one day and we started bakar again. I know I can still drop in randomly one day in your house and talk about fâ??in anything in the world, and youâ??ll nod [even though you donâ??t understand] I love how you get on stage and rule it whenever you are singing, I love how you remain calm and composed even though you are a bit confused in your head, I love how you stand up for something you believe, I love the Zon-grin when you are in front of the camera, your independence and bindaas attitude about a lot of things. In short I love you dude ï?? I wish the very best in the world for you. Navi, Asif and Aysha are some of the sweetest people I have met ever. I donâ??t want to even think of asking you to stay in touch, probably weâ??ll be reading this together :P By a very big margin, you are my bestest friend â?? best take-away from campus!...Abhish Nair

Zono....the best girl on campus with a god gifted voice...i was your fan the day i heard u singing “skyfall”. Apart from singing and studies, let me tell u guys she is a girl with lots of guts and courage. With her enthusiasm and fun filled attitude, she trekked along those spots strewn with rocks and boulders which even boys would dare not to attempt.RIP days were some of the best days of our life and Zon was crucial part of the group.

She can rock the stage (anytime) (wherever) she performs. Hats off :) IIMI must be proud to have you...God bless u....Keep in touch!!...PRASHANT KUMAR GUPTA

Good good singer...zonobia ..sweet charming girl with a smile on her face.....God bless you...all the best...ANSHU KUMAR

Zonnnn!!!! U must have heard this a million times but truly the “Nightingale of Planet I” and now flying off to mesmerize others with ur sweetest

voice ^_^ But if it were only that good at piano too I wish a lot more people would get to know how well you do in that too :) But most IMPORTANT OF ALL....you are one of the most if not the most fun loving and cheerful girl that I know and thank my stars we are friends :) :) I will never forget the fun times we spent together be it RIP, our city excursions or the b’day parties!! You truly made it even more fun :) Most people don’t even know that youe best talent is making others smile and not he singing :) But still hoping you’ll get to pursue the singing in the life ahead and best wishes for that and life too...will be my pleasure to always stay in touch :)...ABHISHEK UPADHYAY

Ah Znno!! I wish I had a chance to know you better! The first time I heard your voice during our Mridang meeting had me thinking “wow!

How is it humanly possible for anyone to talk so sweetly (apologies for the lame and over-used adjective, but that’s how it was)!” On another occasion you left me awe-struck at your Harmoni performance.

But, that was nothing compared to my utter surprise (pleasant one, of course!) at your ‘oh-so-brilliantly-crafted’ comments in the front row.

I was amazing knowing you. I really hope that we meet again! Loads of love and good wishes. Keep singing, keep rocking! :)...NAMRATA LOHAT

The sweetest girl on the campus, who has a much sweeter voice. Harmon-I wouldn’t have been possible without you. You are the binding force that kept the entire team intact. Would really miss you a lot.. All the best and keep in touch...cheers::)...MOHIT SAHNI

Zono, Zonel, Zon you are one of the most down to earth and rocking girls on campus... your voice is a constant source of happiness...babe u give adele a run fo rher money... it was second term when we actually became friends...i am so glad my room was bang opposit ethe stairs..cos of which a lot of you dropped in and I got to know...it was our 1st dosa date when we opened up to each other and I remember you telling me “You are so normal, just like us, it hought you were just a party girl and would be so different” :P It was so easty ot talk to you about the simple things in life...you are inspiration that maybe shaadi is not barbaadi and a married person can have even more fun than a singleton and follow their dreams with more passion... I will never forget what you did for me on Valentine’s Day 2013-You touched my heart and made me feel special, your chocolates and your singing for me made the day-our double meaning jokes and those conversations are unforgettable, you made me feel happy, special and loved that

day-thank you so much for it...post that we ve had some good memories... section party me trying to sing next you (What was I thinking ??), you covering my arms cos you were worried I would die of the cold...zonel stay the same...this laughing, singing girl who noone can imagine is married and has a huge fan following on campus... I hope we can keep in touch and all the best for the future :)...MEHTA SALONI URVESH

I have met a lot of people in my life where I really hit it off with them in the first meeting itself. But to my best memory ( and a lot of people with me :P ) never have I ever got along with someone so fast and so well ( the best I can explain this is the rate of rate of rate of which we got along will still be infinite :P ) than Zonobia. She is downright “Awesome” and one the ost fun people to be around here on campus. Even if I forget the first time I met her (though its hard to forget) I am sure there will be plenty of people to remind me of it. :) Anytime I had spend more than 10 minutes with her something crazy has got to happen ( Remember the time when we managed to break Adi’s bed? :) ). I have spent very limited time with her mostly because I got to know her so late and then I went on exchange but its enough to last a lifetime I guess :) Zonobia is the girl you would love to have as your wingman, though her “Hooking me up” abilities are still to be tested I am sure I will enjoy every moment looking for one. I wish you a really happy life ahead and keep being Awesome. :)...SURABATHUNI PALLAV

Madari !!! :D :D :D ....the best decision we ever made isnt it??? That fact that I have played almost all your songs and even fought to be in a few tells you how much I respect you as a singer. Your unfaithful cover was way better than the original - I always wanted to tell you that. Will miss our time on that stage and in the jam room. Keep in touch and Rock On \m/ ...DARSHAN.SUBASH

Zonbie!! You are by far the sweetest person on campus and the best thing about Harmon-I hands down. I remember meeting you the first time in the music room when I had randomly walked in to check the place. To be honest, never really expected you to be such an awesome singer. But you just blew me and a lot of PGP 1’s away by that rolling in the deep cover.

By far the closest adele live cover I have ever heard. Harmon-I will never be the same without you and we hope you do come back next year for footprints and jam with us one last time in campus! Will always remember and cherish our moments together here. Wish you the very best in future.

Sing on!!! ...ANKIT RATNA

I had first heard about you from your NIT senior-Shanker Mohan. And when I met you, I found that you are soft-spoken, sweet and ever-smiling... I worked with you wen we became coordinators of SPIC MACAY and one thing I can say for sure is, you are good at managing work.

Your soft voice doesn’t let you sound rude ever and hence. working with you is always pressure-free. It was great working with you. All the very best :) Take care :)...V. DARSHANA

How can I start?? ZZZZZ... Oh my sidy in the class.. I seriously don’t understand how do u manage so well to doze off in every class!! You know I am not a great fan of music but your was exceptional. I think you have perceive that more seriously!! All the Best for your future dear! ...Deepti Kalikivaya

I have used your popularity to my advantage :D Every time someone praises you, my reaction was “ you know she is my junior in college” :D. Extremely soft spoken, always smiling (it is contagious you know), cool dude attitude and unbelievably friendly. I am sure you would have got matka full of greeting cards if you were single. Infact I have seen people getting disappointed after realizing you were married :D. Our term 3 assignments were fun and you added an element of energy to them. Enjoyed every performance of yours and you rock the stage no matter which song you sing. Also, your mom makes awesome biryani and looking forward to have some again. Keep in touch and all the best for your future :) ...JAGADEESH PUTTA

My first interaction with you was way before joining IIM indore â?? it was the gyaan session we gave at TIME Trivandrum :D From your gyaan it was pretty evident â?? you had worked very very hard to get here whereas mine was â??chakka veenu muyalu chathuâ?? types :P The night out for the pookalam, the onam celebrations the next day, the trip to Mandu, the day we got addicted to mafia, the one and single time you fell for my acting during mafia â?? some good memories which I will cherish. Wishing you all the best for a happy life and successfully career. I am sure we will catch up in Trivandrum :)...KARTHIK HARIHARAN
