We hit it big today! Kaushal, if I write about you I could take a long time and I am sleepy. Should suffice to say that you are the best negotiator that India has right now. Marketing Placom : I wrote you a mail. The Batch : Thanks guys! Abha: So you did admit that I am the best Company Co-ordinator. ; ) Cadburys: Here I come...
Moments
" Life boils down to a few moments and this is one of 'em" Bud Fox in the the movie Wall Street And today, there were four of 'em in one of the most amazing days of my life... 16th August ,2005 #1 : Megha and me at the Vivekananda Square at around 11 a.m. .. a tear or two on my suit and a tear or two on her shirt. Two sighs of relief.. and two chocolates down the drain #2 : " Amitesh , HLL spot" . That was a kick! #3 : Aparna,Aparna,Aparna... I think I got one of my best lines in with her today.. "So now whenever I look at you, I have a reason to celebrate... " Seriously , I am kinda proud of my creation.. I should use this line more often ... : ) #4 : The Walk for Marlboro Lights.

(In hindsight there seems to be brand fit between the situation then and the name Taking Lives ) I can bet my head on the fact that no one would have even imagined to grab a morsel that night. With waters neck deep high surrounding us who could even think of venturing outside? Good Night Everyone! 12:30 a.m. 27th July,2005,301-A,SP Jain BH: Knock Knock. "We have Chapattis on First Floor. Go down and eat something." "Seriously?" "Yeah…" 12:32 a.m. 27th July,2005,First Floor SP Jain BH : One table surrounded by 80 odd guys. 3 guys distributing something. 2 cellphones for candles. 160 odd folded hands. 1 Chapa

It made tremendous sense for us on the night of 26th July,2005 at the Boys Hostel at SPJIMR. India's heaviest rainfall in the shortest possible time flung us up and down that blocked triangle I just described. We were hurled aroun
