Don't know where it (Orange County) is, probably in California, but the name sticks to my mind, for some reason. But my reason for titling the post thus is more Indian than Californian. I am back in the centre of India (if not the universe), in my previous role as Director of IMT Nagpur, at least for a while.
This time I am experimenting with living on campus, unlike the previous time. I get an extra hour to blog that way- readers should be scared! With an upcoming convocation to be addressed by the WIPRO chief, and all the excitement of students graduating (bidaai of a sort), it is probably the most exciting time of a campus, perhaps only rivalled by the first few weeks of the new batch's entry.
The greenery and peace are unrivalled, however, and the anticipation of something new (in spite of the fact that many of the faces are actually old- old colleagues, students) is always in the air.
Looking forward to the second innings here, and wishing everyone at Nagpur well.
A blog about life, Hindi music, films, humour, books, people, places, events, travel, and occasionally, marketing management or leadership. Mostly apolitical, because that is a personal matter that each of us should decide on, and because I don't want to lose readers!

A pleasant surprise to see you again on campus. Welcome back sir :)
Thanks, Madhur.
Is the reference to the oranges available in Nagpur? Orange County is where a now dead yet famous cartoonist called Walt Disney established his first eponymous theme park. He cleared out a bunch of orange trees according to a documentary you can watch when you visit said park.
The spirits of the golf course are happy. Welcome back! :-)
Thanks, Meghna, you shall yet one day play Golf! Ha, ha, ha.
There is a resort named 'orange county' near coorg.....
