How many have you formed? Alas, non-living objects can't speak, or else we could have had thousands.
But with humans (not bots, yet- don't know enough of them or about them), we can have some. I have experienced this at all stages of life. One of my first officially recognised ones was with Meghna Sinha, who used to write a blog while she was a student. Later, we met a few times, and bonded over books and coffee, and other beverages.
The others include a few more students of IMT Nagpur, some of Kirloskar Institute, a couple from PES and IFIM B School, and some of IIM Indore. NMIMS too, I guess... faculty included, in most of these.
Anusha Soni of Bhopal who I met during her IIM Indore IPM stint, was one. We bonded over Guavas, Golf and small talk, and she treated me to a lunch in my hometown Pune (I think it was her first salary!) and came home too.
Prachi Jain and gang was a delightful bunch of Ph.D. scholars at IIM Indore, and we have had fun outings in Delhi, Indore and one in Kolkata with a gang member recently.
Abha Kulkarni and Sheetal Garg have been members of an MAS for many years now.
Pallavi and Shafique, naturally, because GB calls us twins- all three!
Shatakshi (the confused genius), who I did not teach at IIM I, and Anushka Mishra who I did not teach at Kirloskar, also.. due to Fb and later, physical meetings.
Natasha Kothari, who I met at a wedding, and Rimjhim, who I met through a music group I am a part of with her Mom!
Of course, there are more, but let me list those in MAS part 2.. to be continued.
