The End ... and a new Beginning ...
All good things must come to an end, and so should this weblog of a little more than two years. I started this when I commenced my journey to and through IMI. And now, when I have bid adieu to my alma mater, I think this blog needs to be closed.
Writing is my passion, and I can never see myself not writing. As I close this blog, a new window opens. A window to the world hitherto unnoticed. A window to emotions hitherto unknown. A window to life hitherto untouched. A window to art and culture - through cinema, music, literature. A window called Memoriter - Latin for "from memory".
Cheerio!!
GRAND FINALÉ : THE CONVOCATION
It was some 22 months ago ... A nervous young girl all of 21 stepped into the impressive reception of International Management Institute. She had dreams in her eyes - eyes wide with anticipation of what the two years that lay ahead would bring for her. She wanted to make it big. She wanted to be known. She wanted to be acknowledged and accepted. She wanted to rise as an individual. Need I say, she has more than made her mark.

The event started with our Director General Dr. C S Venkatratnam and Registrar Prof. Rajat Kathuria handing over a memento to each student from the outgoing batch. This beautiful moment showed us how special each of us was, and how much pride the institute felt in us. This was followed by a small cultural extravaganza put together...
NIGHTFALL : THE LAST FEW DAYS AT IMI
This is just so hard to believe. It seems like yesterday when I joined the two-year course at IMI, and today began my last week here. My student life is coming to an end, and I take this moment to recount my trip to Rishikesh recently.
About 51 of us are part of a course called Self Discovery and Personal Growth, or SDPG, which is easily the best course I've ever applied to. It was all about, as the name suggests, introspection. So the classes we had encouraged us to talk about our deepest emotions - for ourself, for those around us, for anything under the sun. And the best part of it was a...
