We decided to let Prarthana shoot us, and the results were awesome. See for yourself. We tried three looks- Vietnamese, South Indian, and Rajasthani.
Having a photographer at home is a blessing!

A Class Act
This is about some typical students in a typical class of MBA students. They could be from any place or Pradesh. (Cluster analysis was not used and no students were hurt during writing of this post).
Sugar and Spice: Sweet when it suits them, and hot and spicy when it doesn't.
The Advisors: Full of advice (for you), not knowing it's a vice.
The Budweisers: Well, you get the picture. No advice.
The jargon-throwers: Flame-throwers are passe. They know the latest.
The Mobile Set: They think being on the mobile makes them upwardly-mobile even before the first job.
The Hands-up Fraternity: As if there's a mugger in a dark alley trying to mug them, their hands are always up, for anything and nothing.
The Performance-watchers. Passive audience, as if in a play or a movie. Might applaud a good piece of theatrics, but won't talk.
The Questioning, the hurt, the sleepy, the eager-to-get-out and do more interesting stuff-the look says it all. The worst of all-the Killer Look!

The Year Gone By- 2013
2013 was a good year.
In Jan I was recruiting faculty at IMT Ghaziabad.
In Feb I was planning a convocation at IMT Nagpur.
In March we welcomed Mr. Azim Premji at the convocation.
In April we had a faculty meeting spread over Nagpur and Bhedaghat (Marble Rocks) close to Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, my home-state to be (though I didn't know it then).
In May, we had a series of alumni meets of Nagpur alums across 5 cities. Also took a family break to Thailand and got introduced to a few Buddhas-sitting, smiling and reclining. A boat ride on the river was a highlight.
Welcomed a brand new batch of students at Nagpur in June. Taught them Golf and the case method.
A very wet monsoon followed in July- August. Lot of guest faculty from my IIM batch came to speak. So did Devapriya Roy, a friend and author from Delhi.
Went to visit Lonar crater in Buldana district, formed by a meteorite hit. Fantastic sight. Had a great golfing trip to Kodaikanal with Gadgil and Vijayakumar, colleagues at Nagpur.
September, back to Ghaziabad and a round of appraisals of faculty.
October, met a lot of Osmania University friends at an outing to Bheemeswari, near Bangalore. Planned the Ghaziabad alumni parties with Alcom. And tasted some excellent wines at a friend's place in Bangalore.
November, met an old schoolmate after 35 years. Also had a few unique farewells, in two Delhi clubs and at the Kulchawala in Ghaziabad, apart from an official one.
December-moved back to teaching after many years of mostly administration, at IIM Indore-my fourth IIM, including one as a student.
Read a few good books along the way, watched a few good movies. And totaled 1700 friends on Facebook. Got a few good comments on the blog too. Crossed 50,000 views on the blog. Thanks, readers.
The journey continues...Musafir hoon yaaron...
