Something for hardcore DD fans..

Hello Friends,


M back.. This time not with some update of NMIMS, but something I found on the net.. 
Out of curiosity I was searching something related to age old advertisements of DoorDarshan.. 
Guess what, I indeed found something.. 


this is a new site.. They have promised to update it everyday.. I hope they do so.. Don't forget to check this out.. :)
This might bring out some age old memories some of you may share with the oldest TV channel..

Grahan ka Andhakar......

Sounds like a B-grade movie, right????Series of events written by our favorite script writer (Tejasvi) on a dull boring day, but with the help of 4 of her friends (including me).. This is how it goes:


9.00 am: No class, but still the presence of 3 idiots (Tejasvi, Ashish and Anil).. surprised, but thukraye hue log.. 


9.25 am: Cafe Kino. Place decided to spend some time.. But thrown out.. 


9.43 am: Crepe Station. no beer + bakwaas food with some bakwaas talks + Cappucinno, 3/4 th in saucer..


10.37 am: PVR, no movie show available for "Sherlock holmes".. That time we were informed: " No ISM class, stay back at home, news came in late".. Funny considering mumbaikars would have left 1 hr early.. :) So the 3 idiots decided to stay back.. 
Meanwhile Anil thinks watermelon juice is sauce in the glass with straw.. 


10.39 am: Shopper's Stop. did not allow inside.


10.30: I checked on net.. No movies nearby.. 
Meanwhile the scene in CCD (where the 3 idiots decided to move after shopper's fiasco): no AC working, spoke to another Anil in Goa, he is 2 beer down while the Anil in CCD is still hunting for beer.. The 3 idiots shifted their sitting place, thinking AC will start working, but no use.. Coupled with that some wrong order..
CCD: Khidki kholne ki koshish.. But in vain.. 
Ordered menu: After one coffee, Lychee thanda, Tropical iceberg, brownie.. 


Meanwhile the topic of discussion was something around horses and mushrooms.. Some debate about whether it was horse or unicorn.. 
So some discussion started about who has horn on face.. 
Anil: Birds.. :D :D (everybody else laughing)
Ashish: birds ko bleak rehta hai.. :P
Anil: Still thinking..!!!!!!
Everybody decide to write a book on this.. but instead i write a blog.. :P :)


Meanwhile we are still missing from the scene.. And they decided to play story telling game.. Some contents from that: "girl and boy locked in a room.. (no wild imaginations here).. Boy finds a key.. Boy is a ***.. (censored).. "


11.40 am: The 2 musketeers enter (me and Mihir).. Some chit chat after that.. 


12.10 pm: we started playing consequence game.. Some mind blowing stories started to flow in the process.. (while reading the final script :) )


12.30 pm onwards: All bored.. started talking crap.. sab apni dukh bari daastan sunane lage.. :) Meanwhile some comment from mihir about FRIENDS series.. But he slipped his tongue and said Pheoba instead of Pheobe.. Some laughter after that..
Meanwhile in CCD anil still thinking of No beer.. Poor chap.. :)


1.15 pm: Time to leave.. Ordered the bill.. Anil submitted his debit card.. Poor chap his day becomes worse, debit card found not working.. Borrowed 100 bucks from me.. :)
No money, No beer.. Anil is exhausted.. 


Hope you guys like this conversation.. I'm sure we will.. :)
Cia.. 

The Great Escape..

Place: Bhaidas Hall
Time: 12 noon
Date: Jan 13, 2010


Well you must be wondering was there any fire in Bhaidas hall.. Nahi baba.. Today was 7th University day of NMIMS University.. What a great achievement considering the campus and the space around.. You must have seen its advertisement in today's TOI..


The guest of honor was the youngest CEO and MD of Hindustan Unilever, Mr. Nitin Paranjpe.. The event was organized in Bhaidas hall, The well known jewel of SVKM mandal and very famous in Mumbai.. The hall is enormous, huge, gigantic and fit 1000 people.. 


I wont talk about the event, you all know how boring these events are.. As part of MBA school we were expected to be present out there.. There were thing lined for the day with the inaugural session and 3 panel discussions.. but you know we can't wait that long.. So after the inaugural session we decided to re-register and skip the rest of the day and go home.. 


But the student council was prepared for that and they had deployed guards at the gate for not allowing any1 to leave.. Smart but not smart enough.. 
There is always a backdoor exit available in such a huge place.. We just had to exploit that.. :)


And voila we found one just next to gents washroom.. 3 people were already standing out there but with fear of how to escape in front of the faculty.. But some1 had to go to find out what happens and so I and my friend were the first at that time.. It was a smooth exit and we were happy when we reached the end of the main road.. 


Uske baad kya, this has to spread like a wild fire.. After all we are students.. ;) Just a phone call was enough for the inside community.. :)


It was like John Sturges film of escape of Allied prisoners of war (we students) from a German POW (Bhaidas hall).. 


Tomorrow is again the continuation of what started today.. I hope we find a escape route out there also.. :) Till then cia soon.. Take Care.. :)

Fantabulous New Year..

Well it was a rocking new year for me.. Actually the end of 2009 and start of 2010 was awesome.. 3 days ago had decided to go to lonavala (the favorite destination of Mumbaikars).. Friend had informed that the climate was awesome out there.. :) Phir kya sirf saman baandne ke deri thi.. By luggage I mean winter wear.. :)

So after some negotiations with my friends (who had office on 31st and 1st Jan) we set out on an exciting trip to lonavala.. On the way we picked Sam (as usual an IT worm slogging for deadlines even on 31st :) )

Phir kya, we anticipated some traffic at the lonavala entry point, but to our surprise there was none.. something strange during that time of the year.. we waited for our friend near kumar resort and then straight away went for Tiger Point.. We could lots of camp fires and people enjoying out there and even planning to stay out there the entire night.. That was at 8 pm.. It was not that cold but hello it was still evening time.. :)

We waited for 1.5 to  hrs with garma garam bhajiya.. :) Then off to friends cottage (its rented), which is just half a km away from the Aamby valley.. He works in one of the many Aamby valley projects as a supervisor.. 

After we reached home we were starving for food.. Then after some refreshments we headed straight away for the restaurant.. The food was good, It was a small restaurant but instant menu.. :) thats when the clock struck 12 and the day that we all wait for had just started.. Thats when I get busy with my phone.. :) Duh its my birthday.. ;) 

Raat ko phir at 1 AM, we decided to ho to Aamby valley main gate.. There was a royal party inside but we couldn't go as the security was very strict (matlab ki we had passes, which my friend had arranged for all of us).. But the decoration was worth watching.. after some photo shoto, time tha ki ham room mein jake baithe.. Camp fire jalaya and phir mast mein thande climate ka maja utha rahe the.. :) And we were all eagerly waiting for our Aamby valley trip in the morning.. :)

But itni jaldi kaise sote, aur mujhe frineds sone bhi nahi de rahe the.. Not the one on the room but the ones who were calling.. :) So we started playing "UNO".. it was 3.30 am and we decided to sleep.. But one of them had already slept and his kharratte were not letting us sleep and so we enjoyed some jokes on those kharratte.. :) Finally 4-4.30 ko sab so gaye.. 

Morning got up at 7 am (u heard it right, 7 am).. I know how is that possible.. But it happened.. But we took actually 4 more hours to get out of our beds.. :) 12 noon we left his house on the exciting 3 hour journey to Aamby Valley.. Why was this exciting is because of the scenic beauty the place possesses among 4 mountains.. All this is evident from the below mentioned links..

I think pictures say a 1000 words.. So I wont describe my experience and waste your time.. Just flip through the album and you will know.. :)

Let me know how you like that place.. Its worth visiting that place, of course for free or if your are rich you can shell out 4500 bucks for a visit.. :)

Time for me to stop this ramayan.. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.. Hope you guys have a rocking year ahead.. :) 

And KEEP READING.. :) Chao.. 

December 26 - 24 hours of non-stop entertainment..

Nothing happened in the history on this date, it was very special day for me.. To tell what was special, i will have to tell you the itinerary..

I all started the previous day when we (those who went for 3 idiots) decided to go to Dahanu and then for a midnight buffet.. The set out time was decided to be 10.30..

Too excited i got up at 9 am.. as usual I was ready very early because i hate getting late.. But then apne Sid bhaisab late ho gaye.. then he was caught up in some urgent work.. So the start up time delayed to 12 pm.. :)

But after reaching malad east (my pick up point) I got a call that others were still in khar.. So I and Karan met up at kandivali CCD and decided to do time pass.. But then I realized that they had gone home again to pick up Sid's sister (not complaining, but the fund doubled because of her)..

Finally 3 hours later we all met up at kandivali and started our journey to dahanu.. But bhagwan ko kuch aur hi manzoor tha.. We were stuck in a heavy traffic at Dahisar which took around 2 hours to clear.. Finally we took a halt at Kamat's hotel (some 50 kms left for Dahanu).. Neha wont forget the schezwan Pav Bhaji out there.. :)

Finally at 5.15 we reached Mahalaxmi temple.. We prayed and spent some moment out there.. Then we set out for the dahanu beach (still 25 kms from the temple but in the village).. I actually went with them only hearing that we are going to dahanu, not knowing the exact location.. By the time we reached dahaun beach it was 6.40 pm.. it was dark as expected.. Spent about 45 minutes out there and then we started our return journey..

Return journey was exciting with some games by Rishi.. We reached kandivali by 10.30.. It was late for me to go home and come back so decided to go to Sid's house directly.. Karan got down and brought his car later along with 3 clothes for me to change (that was so kind of him).. Saroj and Rumi (Rishi's brother) joined us for the midnight buffet and we left Sid's place at around 12.15 am..

The venue decided was "Le Meridien".. Its on the airport road.. 5-star hotel and its default that the ambiance is ought be the world class... But we had gone there for food and specially deserts..

For non-veg the special dishes were Chicken 65, Chicken biryani, some dish in beef and starters in all possible variety.. Not to mention the free beer with the menu.. :) I also ordered a Dry Martini, tried it for the first time.. Was worth the 600 bucks (plus taxes).. There were 15 different varieties of desserts.. everything was just awesome and mouth watering.. :)

Then was the time to play cards at sid's place.. It was 4.15 am by the time we reached there.. Played cards till 7 am and then was the time to say alvida..

So it was 24 hours of non-stop fun, entertainment, joy, no sleep and yet exciting.. Not even for one moment i felt sleepy.. Thats the benefit when you are with your friends.. :)

Cia soon with some new adventure.. :)

31st is coming soon.. so buckle up.. :)

Christmas, Anniversary and 3 idiots...

Last post mentioned about the double treat.. Well its triple treat, not double..

First of all MERRY CHRISTMAS to the readers.. Hope you all had a gala time.. :)

Next it was my mom-dad's wedding anniversary.. Their 31st.. Had a private moment with them with lunch in their favorite restaurant in Malad, Landmark.. It was good..

Then the real party time for me.. We 4 idiots going for an evening 6.15 show of "3 Idiots".. :) What to say about the movie, you must have seen it by now and mind it the critics must have found a fault even in this master piece.. :)

So keeping aside the critics, the best moments of the film:

1] Rancho's famous comment on the pen invented by american for space in front of ViruS..

2] Not to forget the hindi speech of silencer (chatur)

3] Virus asking him to teach engg subject and invents 2 words.. Farhanitrate' and 'Prerajulisation'

4] The hair roti prepared by Raju's mom whilc farhan and rancho were enjoying their mutter paneer.. ;)

5] All izz well song..

6] The definition of book by Rancho..

7] Presentation of Raju's house in black and white scene induces some comedy..

8] The climax is ultimate jab "Fhunshok Wangdoo" Chatur pe bomb daalta hai.. :)

There are many more scenes.. I found a nice review of the movie.. Check this link -> http://www.salmanmania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&p=27158#p27158

A must must watch.. Don't miss even a single minute.. :)

Exams over... yipeeeeeeeee...

Today was another relief day after a series of filling up jargon and wasting trees (filling papers) .. The past 8 days were hell, but never the less got over very quickly..

But still today its still hard work for me.. have to submit an assignment by 9 am tom.. haven't even started by the time this post is up on the page.. Wish me luck for this one.. :)

Tomorrow its a good day for me.. I know its Christmas.. MERRY CHRISTMAS..

But its also my mom-dad's wedding anniversary.. :)

and going to watch "3 idiots" with my friends.. :)

double treat, isn't it.. Watch this space for the review of the movie.. :)

back after a longgggggg time..

Firstly, I must apologize for being away for such a long time.. there are many reasons behind that.. I will list down as and when u see my posts.. :)

So what was exactly happening in my life.. well most of the time I used to be online searching for Harvard case reviews.. ;) ;)

Then later on I disappeared for my CFA exams.. U must have seen that counter on my home page.. well that was for u all not for me.. I was very well having goose bumps, so counter se bhi jyada bada time bomb mere body mein tha..

Forget about that.. Don't ask how was it.. I also don't know.. u will come to know on 27th of January.. :)

Next was a series of assignments (Harvard cases) till the very last before the exams.. Even now i have to complete one assignment to submit it by tom morning.. Sad life hai, not the one in the college but the one where you complete the assignments.. :)

Keep watching this space for more news.. :P

Fire in the Mountain! Run! Run! Run!

NMIMS college students started to play this game in the middle of Monday morning exam.. Now you must be wondering what the hell is he talking about.. Well here the mountain signifies the tall UPG building.. Fire was in the pharmacy lab while the first year's were busy writing their HR paper (2nd trim mid-terms)..

Not a major one though but it was better to evacuate rather then facing any consequence.. Some chemical burst in the refrigerator in the pharmacy lab because of malfunctioned compressor..
But this do highlighted some major flaws in the new building..
1] We took 10 mins to actually get down the building from the 8th floor.
2] No fire exits
3] No fire staircases..
This is how they design a building and still win awards for their design..

There were some fault from our side also.. Students were taking a casual walk, some talking on phone as if we just got out from a movie theater and we were discussing the movie review with our friends..

Aur apne firangi bhai log bhi kam nahi hai.. Standing on the divider of the road they were busy taking photos and videos.. So that when they return back they could show "poor hungry people on the streets"..

Don't ask me about the mid-terms.. They were as usual, pathetic and irrelevant.. But quite relieved that it got over within 2 days (with the rescheduled exam being held today itself)..

Most awaited film for 2009 - 3 Idiots

Rajmachi Trek..

This was a fun fille, tiring trek that we 6 guys enjoyed some 8 kms from Karjat.
Place: Rajmachi
Date: 14-15 Oct 2009

Let me tell you something about the place.. Rajmachi is a small mountain with two hill forts "Shrivardhan and Manaranjan" with magnificent scenic views. There are two routes that lead to Rajmachi, one is from Lonavala(roughly 20km flat walk) and the other is from Karjat(Gradual climb of around 4km). We choose the gradual climb. Along the route you will find rich variety of plants and herbs..

We started our journey by catching the last Karjat local from dadar.. There were 4 to climb from dadar.. Me, ashish (CA), karthik and juna (oops sorry his name is anuj).. Sachin climbed from Kurla and finally tejas (the lucky one, because he got ample time to sleep at home) from dombivali..

The journey was long and we were expecting to catch up some sleep in the train, but the reverse did happen. We played UNO and did a lot of chit chat.. U now know why ashish has started becoming a champ in UNO.. Later on once we reached karjat (at 3.30 am) we decided to have a 2 hr nap at the nearby ST stand because the first bus was at 5.45 am.. Somehow we reached the ST stand only to find some 50 odd people already sleeping in the ST stand.. Somehow dejected we found a lamp post and sat on the stairs of the shop nearby the lamp post..

Now guess what did we do out there??.. Of course we did not sleep.. We spoke about ghost stories.. bhoooooootttttttt.. Guess what each of them had an interesting story to tell, always better then the previous one.. Wonder who of us is going to be the new script writer for RGV.. Under the company of the all the future script writers we spent our 2 houras and then caught the first bus the Rajmachi..

Reached the spot at around 6.45, the time we started out ascent.. It was a long and steep ascent of about 3000 feet from sea level (the point where we started).. So we started slowly and steadly towards our goal enjoying the awesome dew on the grass along the route.. You can notice all this description in the pictures on my facebook profile (will give u the link at the end of the post).. The mountai is awesome with all the bushes and the trees.. There was a small temple just before the fort at the height of approximately 2500 feet.. The fort is huge and considered to be a startegic fort by Shivaji maharaj.. More info can be found here -> http://deepabhi.tripod.com/rajmachi.html

I cannot describe the entire journey. you ahve to experinece on your own to get a sense of it.. Might plan another event in the future.. For now enjoy the pics of our trek out here.. Of course you will have to become my friend (if you r not) to watch the photos.. A necessary ans sufficient condition. :)

Typical cycle of Summer placements for Engineer's

I am sure all the engineer's would have guessed what the cycle contains.. I will try to make it as interesting as possible..

Life of an engineer is like a joke in the MBA college, specially during summer placements (i don't know whether it is the same for finals also) and specifically if u have work-ex.. Below I have described a set of events in a particular day (also just before and after the process) that an engg faces while he is preparing for a summer process.. There are 2 cases, when he/she is kept in dark whether that person is shortlisted or not.. and the other extremely rare case is when he/she is shortlisted..

Scenario 1: No idea whether shortlisted or not
Day before
1] Go all out and bang your head to try and find out the history and recent news about the company coming on campus the next day, even if u don't know whether u r going to shortlisted or not.
2] Googling is a common thing. also open up gmail and chat around the world asking others, "tera kidhar aur hua kya"?
3] Another response from all of them to you: "all d best" "dont worry tera shortlist ho jayega".. :) :)
The day
4] Go all dressed up, catch the earliest train so that u r not strangled later on.
5] Collect ur blazer from the locker and wait in the waiting room. The feeling at this moment is "Suit boot mein aaya kanahaiya band bajane ko"
6] 2 ghante wait karne ke baad, the person comes and announces that u r not selected.. koi different cheez to bola kar.
The feeling at that moment: "Suit boot mein aaya tha kanahaiya band bajane ko, lekin saala khud ka band baj gaya"
After the day
7] Saala ham engg's ki galti kya hai.. They don't even give a chance to prove our worth.. Saala apna kuch nahi hoga..

Scenario 2: You know that you are one among the few engg's shortlisted for the company
Day before
1] Go all out and bang your head to try and find out the history and recent news about the company coming on campus the next day.
2] Googling is a common thing. also open up gmail and chat around the world asking others, "tera kya hua"?
3] Another response from all of them to you: "all d best, phod ke aa ja" "Kal tera din hai yaar, ho jayega dont worry".. :) :)
The day
4] Go all dressed up, catch the earliest train so that u r not strangled later on.
5] Collect ur blazer from the locker and wait in the waiting room. The feeling at this moment is "Suit boot mein aaya kanahaiya band bajane ko"
6] U go all out to prepare, ask other about the firm, some sample GD topics, read economic times and get to know the news of the day.. Also ask the prev batch (if any) about the GD topic and their inputs.
7] Go throuhg the Gd and say about 2-3 points, many a times its like fish market..
8] Wait for the result just to announce that u r not selected for interview.. Damn.. On doing further research u find out that the selected person's are all from finance backgroup (of course for finance profile) or have less then 2 yrs work-ex.. U again think WTH, hamne kya gunha kiya hai.. :(
After the Day
9] Reach home and think Saala ham engg's ki galti kya hai.. They don't even give a chance to prove our worth.. Saala apna kuch nahi hoga..
Chance dete hai to sirf GD mein, uske baad saala work-ex hai bolke bhaga dete hai..

P.S: The above examples are only based on person who is an engg and has 2 or more yrs of work-ex
P.P.S: Most of the incidents are experienced by the writer.

Tip tip barsa paani.. But aag lagaya..

Finally after a long wait during the monsoon season, mumbai experienced rain just at the winter was about to set in.. Well it was a kinda relief with temperatures reaching 34 Celsius and it was never looking as the pleasant weather just before the winter.

But today's showers provided some relief and I hope most of the lakes in Mumbai are filled to the required level.. It was not a brief shower but continuously rained since yesterday.. so the climate is chilled out right now..

Now the part reason behind the unexpected showers is the typhoon Ketsana. Read here
This storm has hit the states of Andra pradesh and karnataka severely.. Take a look at some of the links from timesofindia.com.. Here and here

I hope this mayhem is short lived. and Pray for those are affected.. God be with them..

I don't know what I will be doing this SUMMER

I know what you must be thinking, is there a spelling mistake?? I am not talking about the movie "I know what you did last summer". For those movie crazy guys/gurlz, here is the link for the review of that movie. IMDB

For some of the poor souls like me, they would have guessed what I am trying to say. I am talking about my summer placements, which is far from over.

Looking back for the last 3 days (since the summer placement started) I wonder why did I take an admission in an engg school.. Even if one mistake was committed, then why the hell did I join an IT company.. Even if that was not sufficient, why did I opt Finance as my specialization.. Have I committed a crime by doing all this..

Now is the time to decide whether specialization is better or generalization (general MBA).. Woh kehte hai na, ki ek jagah muhh maare ya sab jagah muhh marte fire..

One wise man has said:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

According to me Henry ford was not a specialist. Sure, he knew a lot about automobile, but what his greatness is that he gathered people (specialists) and made a modern assembly line style manufacturing company. He is well known for what he said in the trial (!) '‘I don’t know the answer for that, but I can get someone who does.’

Some words to consider, isn't it. So do you still think specialization is better than generalization?? your comments are welcome..

Pappilon party.. To celebrate one milestone..

After the horrible exam week (well actually immediately after the stats exam) we went to Pappilon to enjoy (or u can also say that we went to remove our frustration :) ).. either ways it was a nice time enjoying some 1.5 hours in that restaurant.

We enjoyed our time with some nice PJ's from sachin (ohh he is too good at that which is evident from the smile in the first pic). some movie discussion from everyone in which i also contributed :)

I must say anytime better than one of the class discussions on a particular case. The best part in the discussion was there was no reference of the 7 exams which we wrote in the past 6 days.

Then some discussion on the individual body weight, in which Anuj scored the first rank, followed by mihir and I was the last one (considering lightest to heaviest) :)

The pics are attached herewith (of course I'm missing :( ).
The people in the pics are:
(first pic) Anil, sachin, Tom [left to right]
(second one) Om, mihir, karthik, anuj [left to right]

The week that went by...

Terrible week for me that just went by. There are many reason for that bu the the main one being for the end term exams..
To start with following are some of the reasons:

1] Mondays were the day the exams were about to start. Being accustomed to Engg style studies, i at least need 2 weeks off for studies. But as they say MBA mein pehle saal khoon chuste hai, waise hi on preceding friday I just finished my poster presentation. So effectively stuies had to start from Saturday onwards.

2] Saturday: You must have thought as this day of studies. Nahi baba, ethics ka lecture tha na. I actually wanted to ask the NMIMS exam dept how ethical is this that u start the exams from Monday and keep 5 hours lect on sat.. :(

3] Sunday: the day I actually started studying and immediately had to study for Monday's exam. I had only dreamt of touching the 2 worst subjects, IDL and CAR. Which never became a reality.

4] Monday onwards: Nightmare started. hardly 4-5 hours of sleep per day (which is abnormal for a kumbakaran like me, who sleeps at least 7 hours a day). I wonder how the professors will react to after looking at my paper, specially IDL (HR subject) and CAR (marketing subject).
Some of the silver lining in the nightmare were FAA (accounts) and SAB (Stats). Somewhat OK types was ME (economics).

I wonder why do they keep subjects like IDL (HR). Do they actually except all those motivation theories and maslows needs hierarchy and other s**t being followed in organizations. this is kaliyug yaar, idhar sirf pasia chalta hai..
Same thing with CSR (corporate social responsibility), i mean koi sense nahi yeh subject rakhne ka.. Also if they have to keep, they keep it in first sem, so by the time u end ur 2 yrs term u wud have already forgotten that subject.. :D
What an irony.. :) :) :)

This does not end with the exam, the next term is about to start from Tuesday (thank god Monday is holiday due to dusshera) and still there are 3 project submission left for term 1.
But the good news (by the time i was writing this post) is that most of the date have been extended to 5th oct. Alas some relief. :)

Exam Time..

Sorry guys was busy throughout the week due to the poster presentation. So will be in the coming week due to end term exams. Will give you updates regarding the past week and the coming week after my exams are over.

For now I'm attaching the poster. Hope u like it.

Let me know our comments on the same.. Cis.. Don't forget to wish me luck.. ;)

Eco-Echoes - Day 2 - The day of Finals

After a exciting competition on day 1, it was the time for the finals on day 2.

We started with Ecosummit - The debate competition from 11 am to 1 pm
There were 4 rounds which comprised of 4 different issues. There were 4 candidates and each were given a definite role as a speaker for the concerned issues. The interesting part was in round 3 where the candidates were stopped in between and asked to change the roles to judge their "ease of changing roles". The final round was question and answer round where the 4 finalist had to answer judge's questions.

Then we had 3 finals in parallel

Freakoutnomics - A trading game
Exciting game as I would term it. Testing the skills of geometry, finance, bartering and negotiating. A complete package so to say. Will surely post the details of the game once I get hold of the complete script. :)

EcoPrashna - The quiz game
Could attend only last 3 rounds of this quiz. I liked the last 3 because it was audio round and the second last one was Joining the dots rounds. The last one rapid fire round and the contestants were to answer 10 questions in 90 seconds.

EcoPrachar - The ad making competition
Couldn't attend this one as I was coordinating for Freakoutnomics. But heard it was a good one.

Bot to forget, on 5th an important part of Eco-echoes was launched in the inaugural session. Ecoshastra - the economics magazine. It was the third edition and I was part of the Editorial and Design team. I really liked the magazine. I will upload thi on my blog once its officially released to all the colleges. :)

Will upload the pics soon.

Time to say cia. Will surely let u know about the updates as an when I proceed with my stay in NMIMS. I am yet to update about the Fahrenheit event on my blog. Once iget hold of the pics I will surely write about this event.

Take Care. :)
