My Batchmates

Entries from my year-book of IIM Bangalore, 1982-84 batch.


S. RAVIKUMAR (JACKET RAVI / IAS / IN TOTO)

He was thrilled at the bureaucratic prospect of being nicknamed I.A.S. until he was given the full form-it stands for "Invisible After Sunset". He claims his moustache has never been shaved ever since conception. So we are not in a position to comment on what lies behind it.

NARAYAN L. KULKARNI (KULKS/ DE FACTO/IPSO FACTO)

Affectionately called Kulks, a friend, philosopher & spiritual guide of that man Ambade. He would mysteriously disappear evenings, days and weeks. An immaculately dressed and highly qualified engineer, political thinker, de-facto intellectual- makes his presence felt in GBMs (General Body Meetings of all students). Believes the Indian Social System will undergo a revolution through communism, socialism, democracy, dictatorship or the ipso facto current one.

HIMANSHU MANGLIK (MANDRAKE/ RIGOR MORTIS/ CORPORATE MAN)

He was the original Pied Piper. Wherever he went, the pipe preceded and the girls followed. The fact that he was the best-dressed person, the fact that he had a grand physique and matching looks (fair enough!), that he spoke with a perfect. clipped, well-modulated accent, definitely helped. Was alternately mistaken tor the Director of IIM and the MD of a multinational all through the placement scene. A less-known fact about him was his genuine interest in cricket and theatre.

“In a world of corporate Mediocrity, some Things stand apart”

An Idiotic Post

Not just three, we were 110 idiots in a place called Bilekahalli, Bannerghatta Road (IIMB campus, then brand new). This is a short tour into our life in 1982-84, as viewed through a picture album. I am in a pic or two, but most of them were taken by me.
