Logging PG after so one month or so !
Here, It is my first post after joining the SIMSR again .
In last two week, I have interacted with many juniors from batch 2012-2014. I am pretty much sure that the new lot is good and they will certainly carry our legacy forward.
With the best buddies from our IB batch , my life at SIMSR and in hostel is going well. :)
. We had summer internship presentation yesterday and the Summer internship fiasco is already over.
As all of us know that our placement session is due to start in upcoming month. I am hoping for the best for myself as well as for my batch mates.
Keep watching the space for updates.
My Life@SIMSR is going AWESOME :D
Finally posted in PG after a looooonnngggg time .... don't know what was keeping me busy all this while ... or may be I have become too lazy..
The new batches have already settled in and made some impression thanks to the various events and competitions organised by various committees which form the lifeline of SIMSR.
Freshers party of 2012-14 batch was one hellova night with all the gentlemen and ladies getting a taste of how parties too are taken so seriously in SIMSR. The pub and the dance floor burned ..... such was the energy.
Time is flying away and its already almost 1.5 years over here. Still 2.5 trims to go but I know that time and tide wait for no man.
Having said that, the rains have created a havoc as usual in Mumbai with the 12th hours of down pouring and still plenty of more hours to go before it finally makes Mumbai look like Venice... but the Mumbaiyaa spirit prevails \m/
Loving the life at SIMSR
Ahh !! It has been long time since i have posted something in this thread. Nevertheless, I am writing this post in between mid term of 5 th trisem :D
From last one month or so, every @SIMSRites is busy in final placement preparation and our day zero has already happened.
Our majority of batch has already got placed with some eminent companies and we are expecting more companies in future.
After spending 1.5 years in this institute, this journey is going to end on April 5th 2013.

I want to cherish every moment of my life at @SIMSR :)

3rd trimester in SIMSR and now V(IB students) understand perfectly "You need to raise the bar"!!!! ... Dear "External Environment" please do not change at this rate.. we have to really work hard to keep up..
All second year students have to appear in one more exam
starting March 11th 2013. But these exams are way different from any other exams in which we have appeared and these are final end term exams of final trimester of most probably the final academic degree of my life.
Though we got accustomed with these exams, we have somehow managed to go Alibaugh and Kashid beach nearby Mumbai with @interceptor16 , Ritwik and some PGDM guyz.
Most probably, this is our last trip together.
I will surely going to miss you people.
