In Memoriam

* This piece was written few months back to relive few of the mesmerizing moments spent at the B-School Campus.

They say "Time & Tide waits for none"..... and how true it is ... two years have already passed since we were separated to tread on different paths...... still it seems like yesterday.



Today we are standing at myriad crossroads of life far apart from each other. There were innumerable moments in the last two years when we have felt the presence of each other, met each other accidentally on Business trips to different cities and started our conversation with "abe yaad hai tujhe".... clearly reflecting the fact that the bond still continues.


Life is moving on a fast lane (Thanks to recession and the sudden surge of business houses to streamline their process!!!), probably no time to contemplate. It’s time to relive some of those glorious moments lived together. The moments that will remain etched in our memory forever...


240 of us were brought under the KSOM umbrella sometime in june 2006. And the best thing about this class of 2006-08 was the tremendous ability of each individual in different spheres (Prof.Govindraj deserves kudos for bringing the magic together). Some had fantastic organizing ability, some were excellent in academics, someother exuberent sports enthusiasts, some being creative geniuses and few other having tremendous histrionics ability. And as a team we excelled in whatever we attempted and cherished in each other’s achievements.


From Icebreaking to farewell every moment lived in the sprawling campus of KSOM was special. The time all of us spent at Amphi on weekends,burning midnight oil just before the term exam,late night sessions before Kollosseum'08,booz party (Sahoo & Maharana Being at the receiving end),Cricket@3PM,romance on rooftop, Suva's Retail in Detail, Boring Strategy class..i still get nightmares about the voluminous handout..(I used to indulge in something else sitting in the last row and my strategy grade promptly reflects my sincerity !!!!!),online quizzes ,depressing morning sessions to partho sir's interesting methods of teaching, IIM-KOL & XIM triumphs, group studies, fights for group formation, syndi sessions followed by coffee breaks, innumerable fights followed with customary hugs breaking rules.. bunking classes, few exhilarating and stimulating marketing classes, PK Mohanty's bakwas FM classes and project ( Many people dropped the idea of taking Finance specialization courtesy PK),proxy, placement pressure, DJ nights, watching the T-20 triumph.....free downloads......many relationships blossomed many hearts were broken... there are innumerable moments ......these are the priceless moment probably all of us want to relive again & again. We lived a life of gay abandon full of freedom. Those glorious moments will never be back but the fond memories of the time lived together will give us the impetus to move on, to live life to the fullest.


I guess this is the apt time to remember those good old days and get bit nostalgic.






This is my tribute to all of you (Friends,faculties and every single person who had a role in bringing us together) for giving those wonderful 18 months and a lifelong bond of friendship, trust and love......


CLASS OF 2006-08 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!






Thanks guys for being there every time I needed you..........
