Life is full of colors at Institute of Management, Nirma University, Ahmedabad 
Attached is one such image - a rainbow as seen from my hostel room on the 7th floor.
Have you ever studied for 3 hrs in a library on a lazy Sunday afternoon? 
We all did that last sunday 😐
Life is fun here 😉
More things coming soon, as more batchmates will join PG in some days ;)
PS: Thanks to my friends Raghav and Kaushik for the snap.

Ahhh...So the once "Green Mod" has finally landed at Ahmedabad. All the Best mate and hope you get the time to take/procure more such brilliant snaps 😛
1st July is here We had many guest lectures during our induction, one was by TCS Delivery Center Head of Gujarat. 3 years back I joined TCS on the same day, 1 July, and now I was here in a B school listening to IT Industry expectations from an MBA!
The green campus of Nirma is a perfect place to do yoga and meditation. We did have some sessions from Brahmakumaris during our induction and mostly from next week we'll be having Art of Living Sessions early morning!! 😉
Prof. Ram Kumar from IIM A also gave some awesome gyaan on Marketing as if the future mattered! during our first late night session of the program, 9:30 PM to 11 PM. It was very insightful and an eye opener abt the current and future markets.
In extra currics, Cricket, Basketball and my fav Football is already making us feel fitter and active Playing football while it is drizzling has its own charm 😉
Monsoon Rains, Football, Guest Lectures, Quizzes, Assignments, Group Tasks and Lectures!!!! Phew!
Life is really picking up pace and we all thought life in Bombay was faster than life at a B school
Gotta sleep now, have a cricket match at 7 am 😛

Hi all
Dont look at the time....
Now this is our regular time to hit the sack...as we have so much of work load, so many things to do in so less time Movies, Counter Strike, Football, TT, and assignments(that too to be done ourselves,how can u expect such thing from Engineers:neutral:),studies (which we seldomly do )...
But this place is really cool....as our 'Respected' Mod Mahip has already mentioned about the lush green campus.....we will be publishing more snaps soon, we are try to click birds but they are not very supportive and are not ready to give some good poses...till then manage with flora and fauna of our campus
Our Midterms are also approaching, but still we are far away from studies...Lets see what happens....
Its a nice cloudy day here at NIM. The rain gods are benevolent and I have nothing to do. Pretty dull day actually!!! However with each passing day , there are times when I realise Ill miss so much once I am out of this place. Its in times like these , when I am all alone in my room, that I get to do what I like best. I get to write!!!
:popcorn:So with the awesome cheese bread I got from my vendor(cud'nt find a better icon) lemme brief you with what all have we folks been doing. The year began with 5 students of NIM winning the SIFE regionals in Mumabi. Some of the best BSchools like NITIE, XIMB,NMIMS,KJSOMAYA took part in the competition
We actually were in the top 7 teams selected from 50 teams nationally. :biggrin:. Oh Boy!! were we happy!!! However we lost the nationals. Loyola College won and will be representing India in the international competition in US this September.
Its actually the third time that a team from NIM has made it big at SIFE. Last year our team was the first runner up. I guess the fachhas have to do a lot of planning for next year.:smile:
Well it actually speaks a lot about the culture of our insitute as well. Its not about money at the end of the day. Its about making a difference to the society you are a part of
:angel:Students in Free Enterprise is a forum ,internationally, that looks for students who can in their own ways bring back life to the underprivileged sections of the society. The NGO we worked for was Manav Sadhna. Their Earn and Learn program helps kids from RamoPirno Tekro , the largest slum in Gujarat to earn money by making cards and providing them with quality education.:thumbsup:
Hold fast to your dreams for if dreams die, life is like a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
The smile that we have got on their faces is worth the effort that we put it. Trust me at the end of the day; nothing can compare the experience we had at Manav Sadhna. It makes one so conscious of our duty towards society but more importantly towards ourselves!!The event was organized by Syntel and had sponsors like KPMG, Reliance Money, HSBC etc. We were able to meet some of the stalwarts from the industry and they really appreciated our work. :wow:
The entire campus was so happy when we came back. Trust me it was scary. I mean we were 5 of us in a car and an entire crowd of 50 odd students came to wish us before we were leaving. :shocked:The day the results for the regional round were announced we just could not believe that we had made it to the top 7 in the country.
Sms, CallsWe got so many best wishes from the IM-NU family. Oh ,,,did I mention the finals were in Grand Hyatt , Mumbai??
It was an opportunity of a lifetime and I am glad, I could be a part of it.
:smilecol:Hi JingBangLot!!!
Its night almost and I still have nothing to do.
So lets begin.. :idea: I say Quizzing is an art. I say that because not everyone can be a pro at it,it cannot be taught, not everyone can be intuitive enough to guess,,, and not everyone can be creative enough to see patterns. I know the skeptics will not agree. But seriously I know a person here who saw a logo and said the colour is so not fitting with the history of the company. :wow:She actually managed to redirect our thinking efforts and we managed to crack the right answer. Oh yes,,you may say she knew about the logo, the subconscious totally recognizing the variation,,but Ill still stick to my art theory!!
After a good 1 week of mid-sem exams, ,there came a gap when none of us knew what to do 😞 . God answered our prayers and finally 4 students gave the campus a reason to celebrate. IM-NU has won the BIM Trichy Online Quiz :biggrin:. Our teams bagged the first and the fifth place this year. So the Mocking Birds and X-QuizIT team have made us all so proud of their brilliant performance in the quiz. Some of the top B schools in the country including the IIMs had participated in the quiz.
Since the members of the Mocking Bird team are not here,,cant mention their names without permission. :thumbsup:But I guess every regular pagal would know Mahip . Sir managed, with his partner Raghav Rastogi, the 5th place in the event. Well good to see the facchas in action. Hopefully this duo will continue with the quizzing tradition on campus and win the forthcoming quizzes too.
Did I tell you that our alumni have proved their mettle at the TATA Crucible as well?? Goodness Gracious!!
The Ahmedabad edition of Tata Crucible saw IM-NU at its best. :)
Mitesh and Vivek mad us all so happy by winning the 4th place in the zonals as well.
With 8 more months of campus life left for second years, I believe the Mocking Birds will get back the Tata Crucible title again. Well for all of us, theres reason to celebrate over the weekend and party
:icecream:

BIM Trichy's Enigma - Quest for Excellence
Well, the Mid-Terms (our first ones) are over at the planet IM-NU
Most of you will be tempted to repeat the most cliched question that : "Paper,Kaise hue?"
My reply to all those
"Exam kabhi kharab nahi hote, kharab to result hota hai..."
So, just wait for the results:
We thought we would be having some relief after the Mid-Terms but the situation is absolutly the other way...Mid-Terms ended yesterday and tommorow we have three assignments submission....ho gaya na HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY
But this midterm brought Cheer for us, as with the end of the MidTerms IM-NU emerged as the Winners of BIM-Trichy's Online Quiz..
hope to have more celebrations in coming time...
The coming month seems to be full of events as Talent Night, Managaement Conclave have already lined up....
So, lets ROCK as we have been ROCKING
Hi,Well quite blue actually. Its Monday and all students are supposed to be in formals:oha:.
I never understand why more than half of the batch turns up wearing blue on Monday:shocked:. I once sat through a lecture and counted 30 blue shirts in class:confused:. Mayb we cud run a colour of the day contest one day(n 4 sure if its monday ,blue will rule!!)
And the beauty of the colour lies in the fact that no two shirts are identical..So as one of my friend says there is a plethora of shades ranging from light blue to dark, to hazy to sea blue.
Ya sometimes its due to the friendly neighbourhood dhobhi that the variety increases
!! Whatever,, I have 4 classes lined up for today and am really in no mood to go. The facchas have only three. So by 5 evryone is going to be free.Me off for my bfast
cya
:smilecol:
Hi JingBangLot!!
Lets say I am in a Gyan-ical mood!!:oha:
There are many kinds of schedule; there are schedules that bind us, schedules that control us, and then schedules that direct us!! Mine unlike the Marketing one, gives me some breather during the day. So I have time to post on pg, think about my day, and plan what I should share with any one who might happen to read these reflections.
Somehow I am not comfortable about using the tag Life @Institute of Management, Nirma University. Instead of this Id prefer talking about People @Institute of Management, Nirma University. Are the two different?
Yes they are. In an age where money can buy anything to improve the quality of life its the people you are with that improves your life or totally changes it
In short its your Human Resources that make or break you. This is one of the biggest learning you can have from your 2 year stint at any B-School. An institute can get as good as its students. Its this sense of bonding with the college, the oneness of identity that defines you during your education as well as after it.
So tomorrow when you will join a B-School, what will you look for:confused? Placements (yes they are important), Infrastructure (trust me IM-NU will defeat any institute in India there,, what else do you expect,, :smile:we have the biggest and bestest fields in the country, and an inhouse natural lake as well:biggrin:), Faculty ( we draw them from the industry and academia alike)??
Do look out for the kind of people you are with, your batch, your peers,your alumn:lookroun:i!!
Every batch has a flavor:idea:. These vary too.
But certain strains are dominant. So you had this Biggest Batch in the History of IM-NU in 2004, the Quizzing Czars of 2005, the dedicated but naughty batch of 2006 and now we have this maximum work ex batch of 2007. Its not about when these batches passed. Trust me one goes, the other comes, its a never ending circle. Its about what they added to the institute, what they symbolized!!
I have 4 names written on the inside of my cupboard. I dont know them. I dont know their faces. But I know that the very chair I am sitting on and typing all this for you, the unknown faces, was once used by a person I will never know or maybe meet.
But I do know that every place has a legacy, that common bonds, however invisible they are, bind people together. :angel:So you have our hostel warden, telling girls that they resemble someone from 2001 batch, that every time a girl laughs she is reminded of someone in 2004 batch,, that each time a new batch enters, the last flavor lingers on!!
As all of you would realize history teaches us many things and legacies must be preserved. In short the NIM alumni link will bond us for ever.
But as I would leave this campus in 8 months, I have already started wondering, will someone be as affected by those 4 names as I was? What if I add mine there?But I do know that any alumni and a prospective one like me would have his or her share of insecurities!
Even this shall pass away:infinity:

hey kaptivate
:, thy senior,nice piece of writing.But alas, that's just ONE side of the coin. When you share the happy part of it with others, then why not share the adventurous part too?
hey junta, including facchas and seniors, just have a look at this one. Someone has wrote on the ongoing adventures.

Dear captivated, it's good to know that you realize there are two sides of a coin. A glass can be seen half full or half empty, it's depends on the way a person looks at it. The adventurous part about which you are talking about is all about looking at it negatively. General tendency of any human being is to always pick up negative points of any issue and make ho-halla about it. I hope you pick up some positive sides of those adventures and participate positively on this thread. Joining the forum, taking up a similar ID like kaptivate just for the sake of posting a blog URL which too is "anonymous" is not how discussions at PG go on. B school discussion section is only for current B schoolers, so kindly PM me your identity before posting anything for/against life @ Nirma. :)
Thanks
