Nostalgia - and the memmories start hitting you
So today was nostalgia - not that great an event. Still it provokes the question - 4 years in IITK are going to finish. So how do you feel?
There are thoughts. Many of them. But some of them are special. Some more than others. I was chatting with yashm about this which is what triggered thoughts in this direction. So the thoughts start - lets start to put them down
1) Inter IIT Aquatics Meet 2005 in Roorkee. (When patience pays off). It was a definate milestone in my life. To be no-one(having been thrashed so many times). The first match when we finally humiliated IIT Delhi(after being called a practice match & a walk-over 2 years ago) 14-0, anhiliated Bombay ( a pretty good team 13-2) and beat KGp 5-0 in the semi on 2nd OCt 2005. This was a special day. The spirit of the team was evident from things like when I was thrown into the pool in Roorkee (with clothes on), sitting on the white house playing dumbc, etc - it was an amazing trip which was consummated with a celebration at the pool where everyone was thrown into the water with their clothes on. After that every one dived from 5m. More on this in some other post.
2) Winning touch rugby in Josh 2005. To win 6 matches in a row when the quality of teams got better from round to round. Winning in the final on a golden goal by 68, when I scored the equalizer after we were down 1-0 in the first half. Match will be remembered for the blunder by Prasoon for the first goal, the way we equalized to 2-2, and to win in golden goal with 1 min to go b4 penalties when everyone was dead exhausted.
3) Beating Mehra's team in baskey, and taxi's team in mixed baskey with strong performances in the last 5 min of the game after trailing for most periods of the game
4) Tennis - Inter Year (1st year, doubles 4th year) - Playing with very weak teams, reaching the finals in 1st year, semis in final year
5) The ups & downs of B-Club/stock club - from having an audience of 10 people (mostly from my wing) in 2nd year stock club lectures, to 250 people filling L-1& at least 50 people sitting outside waiting to get a seat.
6) Getting a job in Lehman Brothers after not getting shortlisted
7)Chapofying Con-Corps - the software engineering project, and Lucent (accounts project)
8) The fuss people made after I got 6 calls in IIMs after studying for 5 days.
9)UMats antics on a summer night when things happened after dash pushed him on mathew's
bed
10) Mathew & I demolishing every one in markstrat & then in chanakya. As a team in biz stratergy games we ROCK
11) Organizing Olympus inspite of opposition from a lot of people in the HEC
More later
