Last night, I went for a walk. Bought a coffee with chocolate sauce and took a long walk past LKP, RJM etc. For those who don't know - these are the beautiful lawns near our academic blocks and the auditorium respectively.
The great thing about living on campus is that you can see the stars. Unlike the city where stars are drowned out by streetlights and buildings, you can look up and see the clear night sky studded with stars. When I was a kid, my dad used to take us up to the terrace and point out stars to us. I learned to recognize the Hunter, Orion (the Hunter's belt), Sirius etc. Occasionally we would see Venus, and once even Saturn.
Dizzy Row, Day Won, Date U?
In other news, placements just got over with most previous records being beaten hollow. For detailed stats, just turn to the front page of any pink paper :) But this post is not about the salaries, offers, numbers, figures or inevitable comparisons with D/E/F. It can't be!
Its about the people behind all these dollar dreams. In a few days they'll be gone and these corridors will feel more empty. Until a new batch comes pouring in that is.
But before they go, here's a toast to the class of 2006. Here's to the investment bankers who're making headlines. To the consultants, marketers and future managers of India Inc. Here's to the intrepid few who are taking the roads less travelled.
May the journey be as exciting as the final destination!

The investment bankers, consultants and marketers that you speak of arent really takin a road less travelled... Its the same beaten, trodden path every previous batch has been on. And every batch hence will be on. Apart from a special few who do chase more than $185,000.
Rags, the reference to ppl taking the road less travelled was aimed at the few ppl on campus who are NOT sitting for placements. They're setting up their own ventures.

guess its the sign of these excellent times. confidence derived from a booming economy is helping ppl take that road. and thats why we see these ppl everywhere... i know of atleast a few guys in each of the top 4 campuses.
