IMT Mini Meet

 Met two former students of IMT Nagpur currently in Mumbai. Shafique Gajdhar is from Dewas near Indore, and works in Mumbai. Vishakha Sugand is from Mumbai. We met at Juliette's Cafe in Oshiwara, Andheri. Recounted the good old days, and lots of common faculty and students we all know. 

Wonderful conversation that stretched for about 5 hours!

IMT Alumni in Pune

 I left IMT Nagpur in 2013. But I have been meeting alumni from the institute ever since. I met one in Kolkata just two months ago. After 2012, when she graduated. This week, I met three alums, including one who just moved to Pune, Ananya Nandi De. Two others, Harshad Lunavat and Phalguni Bannerjee Basu, have been here longer.

Mumbai Meets

Generally, I do meet some old students whenever I can. I usually have a partner-in-crime who gets in touch with some of their friends, and this time it was Sheetal Garg, one of my pals from IMT Nagpur. Though I never taught her, we get along famously, and thanks to her effort, we (Abha Kulkarni was the third), met and chatted for a couple of hours effortlessly, about various things-life included, but also kids and grown-up kind of stuff. We decided that we'll offer ourselves up to Abhinav Kamal (another IMTian) for acting in his films, since he's the only chance we have..we also did a photo-shoot to impress him.. Abhinav, here it is! Also pinning our hopes on the fact that Sheetal has just won the Miss Congeniality title at a Pageant..you can see why!

Crowning glory- we even managed to put the Taj in the shade! Sunshine around me!!
