Some Beautiful Students

 Part 1, may be, because there are many more- in some cases, I don't have a good pic. But these pics are a compilation of some of the beautiful students I have had in various institutions.. handsome dudes may have crept in, but they will be the subject of a separate compilation..

Karnataka, Part 2- Harihar

 Well, I never again lived 500 metres from an 18-hole Golf course, after Harihar- the Kirloskars built it there. The students were some of the most beautiful people, as you will see in the pics that follow, and the staff and faculty colleagues are still in touch. What more can one ask for from a workplace? Take a look. 

A group pic when I was about to leave in 2001. 

Sudhir, Panneerselvam who's now at Tumkur SIT, Sandeep, Niranjan Swain, me, K.S. Bhat and Vijayakumar - many are in touch.

I didn't even teach her, but Anushka Mishra and I formed a Mutual Admiration Society..so did Savitha of Batch 1 and me (below)

Mutual admiration is actually great, so here are more candidates- some are forming still- Nishka the Ghostwriter, with two more (above), and a group in early days of PGDM, below. Vikash, Viral, Harsh, Chandni, Damini, Shruti, Amrita, Ruchira, Priyadarshi,...

Recent meetups with these guys were just as lovely- Dheeraj (above) in Chennai, and Nidhi in Indore, her hometown and my workplace then.

Shweta (above) went to great lengths to catch up, and that resulted in Sunil and Sharmistha Singh catching up soon after. (below)

They say (actually Dheeraj does, and I agree) that KIAMS girls get more beautiful as the years go by. Some proof below- Vidya TC and Swapna in Singapore. I told them about this theory, and they smiled even more...

Discovering Roads Less Taken

One such road was taken yesterday, thanks to our driver, while returning from Khandwa. Here are a few pics- on the way, we also found where Indore's water comes from. Wanchoo Point has a filtration centre for it.

 In the distance, you can see Jam Ghat..on top. There were people doing crazy things there, as you can see below..

 and so, I joined in. (in the blue tee)

 Looking back at the awesome approach.

 Miniature tea cups like in Mandu.. surveying the territory like we own it.

and on to Mhow and Indore.
