I started the blog in 2009 sometime, inspired by Hari, my BIL who was already a blogger then. I first heard the term Weblog in an interview for admission, where a candidate mentioned it as his hobby. We (blogging and I) seemed to be made for each other. It gave me the freedom to write as and when I pleased, and publish to anyone in the world who wanted to read it- the world is literally your oyster, when you blog. I have had surprising statistics on viewers from countries that were least expected when I began blogging. The title of this blog comes from the words of a favourite Hindi song- Yeh shaam mastani, madhosh kiye jaaye.. The journey is on, as long as I enjoy it, and the number of readers is greater than 1.

Milestones

IMT Nagpur hosts its annual fest, Milestone 35, soon. In preparation, there is an internal competition called Milestone 34. This just concluded last week. This week, there are two more events- a sports competition called Rann Bhoomi, comprising 13 teams and many sports, like Baddy, Cricket, tennis, Throwball, Football, etc. But the interesting part is that it is integrated with an alumni get-together across all batches, called Melange. A big turnout of alumni from all over the country is arriving, to celebrate togetherness with their alma mater, and their juniors. These events can be very emotional, as anyone who has attended one of their own can attest. IMT has a few entrepreneurial acts to its credit, like a cooperative store managed by students, and a Frost 'n Fun outlet, a Snooker facility and a Laundry, run entrepreneurially on campus.

Talking of milestones, this blog has reached one too. Over 5000 views. Though it started somewhat uncertainly, I have managed to continue this activity over about 3 years, because I like its nature of sharing in a stress-free environment at my own pace. I admit I am sometimes scared by Facebook, with its in-your face style of communicating, though I have found several long-lost friends, students and occasionally, family through it. Occasional comments from readers let me know if I connect, so keep them coming. I have been surprised by unexpected references to this blog by some friends I meet. I did'nt know they read it!
