Golfing Away at Nagpur

Got a chance to go to Nagpur over the last weekend. First item on the agenda was playing golf with faculty of IMT who were my partners-in-crime when I worked there. We had actually built a small golf facility on campus there, and used it to give our day a green hue at the end, on most working days.

This time, however, we were in the Air Force Golf Club, a nice 9-hole course in the town. We were joined by a friend from Bangalore, who was there for a guest lecture to students. The experience of playing on a golf course after a while was exhilarating. Some good shots give one hope that one is redeemable!

Another highlight was a karaoke night at another colleague's place, where we tested our vocal chords in singing along with the lyrics, a few classics by Kishore Kumar and Rafi. The Korean-made mike that enables you to sing easily is a great invention (theirs) and a great discovery (our group of cousins discovered it at Pune, and I introduced it to Nagpur colleagues).

Got a copy of the Opus, a newsletter we nurtured through various batches. Nice issue with lot of news. Nagpur has had a great year in placing students, with a lot of new companies recruiting.

Holi happened the day after, and I enjoyed the fun from a distance. Met a Nagpur alumnus on the train to Indore-the fourth I have met in as many months after I moved to work in IIM Indore.
