| The
two years at S. P. Jain Institute
of Management and Research,
Mumbai were starkly different from
the days at IIT Kharagpur
when it came to acads but talk about
the campus life... oh yes, SP is one
great place!
The beauty of SP is its smallness
and compactness. Where else can one
find a B school where one walks out
his room straight into the class
room (literally!). Ladies were a lil
unlucky lot though, considering the
Mumbai rains. Yes thats SP. Having
got used to the big places (the KGP
campus and the Tata Steel plant were
really very big), it was a pleasant
surprise for me when I stepped into
this place.
The warmthness of this place is
really worth mentioning... in a few
days after the orientation programme,
we all got close. The faculty
were easily approachable and
helpful.
The First Year (PGP 1)
: I was in Div A in PGP 1. And we
had (or were we forced ? :-) ) to do
lots of group work (I guess thats
how B schools differentiate
themselves from engineering
colleges!!!). |

| What
is AcadCom ? |
| This committee
tries to help the institute in
academics. AcadCom (1999 - 2000), to
which I belonged did the following
glorious things:
1. We created SPJIMR's first
online academic intranet site.
Kudos to Kaps
and Jiggy!
2. We developed an MS Excel VBA
based grading software. Kudos to Jiggy and me!!!
3. Excellent scheduling of
academic activities, thanks to the
tireless efforts of Vasudha, Vandana and Anuj. |

I still
consider my first trimester group as the
best group. Mandaar, Tintin (Nitin), Prash,
Smriti, Aparna and me formed this deadly
group! Mandaar... do u have anything more to
add ;-) ?
My Acadcom
(Academic Committee) group was also
really great! Jiggy (Jignesh), Kaps (Sundeep)
and I did so many things...wow! We were
always experimenting, that was our secret to
the success. |

| First year was also memorable because of the
Lonavala trip (Personal Growth Lab). Also I cannot
ever forget the MarkOps and MarkStrat simulation
games, Prof. Ravi Shankar's Crystal Ball
simulations, the hilarious Prof. Ckakrabarti,
fundu Costing funda; from Mr. Hariharan, Mafsa
funda from Mr. Raghu Iyer, superb Business Policy
classes by Prof. S. Rao and many
others.......... :-) |

| The Second Year
(PGP 2) : Second year was very
hectic indeed! Since I was
specialising in Information
Management (IM), so we all got more
focussed and I learnt a lot. And can
I ever forget Shuvam
- The God? He used to teach us
Web Technology and what a teacher he
was! Some of the other memorable
faculty were Mr. Kalgud (
Networking), Dr. Rakshit (DBMS) and
Mr. Prasad (APT). |

| Second
year was also a period when I came close to many
wonderful personalities: Dada (Biswaroop), Atish,
Somu (Somnath), Shantanu, Mona (Monalisa),Arif,
Sandy (Sandip), Satman (Sateesh),..............
and yes Debu! (Debmalya) and Anna (Vijay). The
cuttings, the fags, the endless wait for the God
to come and give us some pearls of wisdom, the
placements, the booze parties, the B2B
discussions - that sums up the second
year!
One more thing, I was always busy as I was the
IM-2 coco (student coordinator)! My job:
scheduling classes and postponing assignments and
tests ...lol

| My room and my roomies: My abode
B-3 was also home to Kaps and Prash. All of us were from
KGP (same batch) and then joined and worked together for
Tata Steel, Jamshedpur for the same period. At SP also we
decided to stay together. :-) The memories ? ohhhhhh too
many to count! Like for instance, Prash and I chatting
endlessly to phoren babes on AOL, ICQ..., Kaps
sleeping like a log when the whole batch is trying to
crack a case, Prash and the Royal Stag duet (oh that was
the talk of the town) and the treks!
Kaps and I have done quite a few treks in the Karjat
region of Shayadri Mountains. Sad though is the fact that
we never could take a camera :-( but memories die hard. |

| Mumbai Life: This
city has it all. Always busy, fast paced
and yet orderly, thats Mumbai!
The always crowded trains, fast or slow,
the autos and the BEST buses together make
every part of this city so well connected.
I and KB (Koushik) have many fond
memories of Juhu beach, Toto's garage,
Ontoes, Only Fish, and many other places
;-) !
It is only because of KB that I got to
know so much about Mumbai. And like
millions of people, I just love this city.
Aamchi Mumbai Jindabaad! |

| The two years at SP and Mumbai were also
memorable because a lot of my friends were staying in Mumbai. The
Jampot gang was almost present: Black (Ashutosh), Pundir ( Diwakar)
and Hudda (Ashwini) were working; Mehn (Neeraj), Brown (Rajat)
and Santy (Santosh) were a batch junior to us at SP
and MumBhai (Praveen) was the visiting guest.
And KB was also in Mumbai during my stay! Yo... KB !!!
