Manfest @IIML

Welcome back!

It took almost 25 years after my birth for me to travel to the North. The Northern most point for me was Anand(in Gujrat:-( ) till a couple of days back. Now that status goes to Lucknow. 4 of us and 2 from SCMHRD(Anish and Dinesh) got Manfested. 4 of us had qulaified for the Biz Quiz prelims and SCMRDies were for the Debate. We reached there on 20th early morning by KushiNagar express. We had a rocking time till the time we left Lucknow 40 minutes past midnight on the 23rd.(thats 24th 00:40).

My cell was showing 405 54 as the service provider from the moment I touched Lucknow, still couldnt figure out which service provider that was. On the first day at IIML, I played chess and that too serious chess. Me v/s FMS and then Amity. I played chess after a long long time, a game that I had almost stopped playing when my brother started beating me. Not to mention my losing streak continued.

The climate was cold, really really cold when compared to Pune. Hands could never be taken out of the jacket. Typing each SMS was the worst torture that one could imagine of.

Rohit and me were on stage for the SBI Biz Quiz conducted by Gautam Bhimani. He is nowhere near “good” as a quiz master or as an anchor. He was more or less like a school teacher who wanted the exact answer to give points, c’mon quizzing involves lotsa guessing…some leeway has to be given.

There were shows by KK and Parikrama on second and third nights. The Kingfisher party simply rocked. What else could one call a party where free booze flowed like crazy? Bacchanalian (orgy)????


Left IIML with 2 laptops chocking with movies,ads and Coupling…thanks to DC++…hats off to their Hostel Lan.
Another thing that I really liked was their mess food, though the guys at L say its not good, the grass is always greener…..

On 23rd, we left IIML and went to Bhulbulaiyya(Labyrinth)…wat a place …if u have lots of time …it isnt a tuff maze, but it was fun trying to figure out which door took us where…
