Back in Pune

Welcome back!

After spending 3 days in Hyderabad, me back in Pune.
Hyderabad, stayed at REC senior Vasu’s place one night and later moved to Yagga’s place.
Well Yagga’s place is nothing but his grandparents’ place. A place with a totally chilled out paatty and really really strict thatha. Given a pistol , he would have shot me or Yagga dead for the kind of “indiscipline” that he got to see from two B-school students. He had asked us to be 10 mins early for our appointments,which we never did. He had a tuff time scolding or rather trying to make us disciplined according to his IPS levels.(Incidentally, he happens to be the person who investigated Mrs. Gandhi’s assasination and he is former DGP, Andhra and former DG, CISF)

He was never happy with the kinda attitude that we were showing towards work and he wondered and once even blurted “Leave alone Vinayak,how can even Vinayak’s friend be as indisciplined as him?”

Me was successful in making paatty feel , I am a “nalla payyan”.Yagga’s Paatty is a sweet and cool paatty who is the other extreme of the IPS thaatha.

Thankfully, we met all the appointments on time, though with much toil in finding the exact location in a maze of buildings, towers, plazas, and cyber towers-almost no one of the roads know where X Plaza is , coz there are enf to confuse the common man. So had to call up the companies to locate the place.

Could not catch up with many friends in Hyd and I was there on working days. Called a couple of them.
Spend a lot of time with an old school classmate of mine, Dolly. Met her after a gap of more than 7 years. Shez doing her Phd in IICT. So I am not the only “student” from my school batchmates, what a relief.

Had a total fun time with Yagga through the stay and presentations. Though at some point felt as if we were two magicians, in formal attire, carrying a laptop, opening a showing a movie, accepting applause, feedback and moving to the next stage.

Company to company, auto to auto, thats how hyd went…

Reached Pune today morning and classes start from Monday.

Its sick and sad that we have been split according to specializations this semester itself, usually they do it in the 3 Sem…So that gonna be a lot of new classmates, finding new back benchers…finding new ppl to share knowledge:-P

PS:Forgot to mention and blog the fact that I spoke improptu to a crowd on some 300 students of TIME on how to get into SIBM and generally what a B School is all about. I was so pumped up through the talk and even after that.
