I get recognised fairly often- not because I am a celebrity, but because I have taught at different places in India-perks of teaching, if you will. Usually, this happens in malls, or on the street where I am spotted by an ex-student. Today, it happened at IIM Indore itself, where I met Venkat who used to work at KOEL (not the bird, but Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. at Pune). When I worked at Kirloskar Institute, we had done a BPR consulting project for the group company, and Venkat had coordinated it from KOEL.
He is now a freelancer based out of Bangalore, and consults and teaches. So it was that he came to IIM Indore- to teach Retailing. And that's how we met. Reminded me of that meeting on Bangalore streets with Soumyashree, and in a pub with Mrunal, and in a mall in Bhubaneswar with an IIM Indore student, Rohit Kumar. Bhawana Sahay (IMT alum) in a Hyderabad theatre too, where we saw Newton. I am now getting used to these pleasant surprisesthey are all pleasant, without exception.
Planned meets have their own charm (have had lots of these recently), but these are also great!
