Hey Puys!!

Am sure the atmosphere must be "Hot" even in this chillin weather with all the speculations about Gd/PI Dates, expected Calls and the tension and Speculations.

We all had it to, and for sure the tension is surmounting- But as they say--
Hardwork Pays Off.....And Wellllll Sometimes Laziiiness as well!!!

Neways, Life here is moving as fast as you can expect. Classes, Commiite Work, Assignments, Case studies and the Gyaan Sessions, and we have our Mid- sems starting in about a Week"s Time. But the anxiety is"nt anymore as one can make out from the relaxed faces of Junta, they seem to be learning the "Tricks of the Trade"

Now comes the latest Happening news-

Mr. Partha.S.Ghosh, one of the Eminent personalities of the Consulting and Analytics Industry, ex- partner Mckinsey, currently the Chairman of the Boston Analytics Group is here!!

After conductiong Sessions at the likes of MIT and Harvard Mr. Ghosh { Alumnus- IIT-KGP} has obliged VGSOM as well.

Do refer to the mentioned Link for More-:

VGSOM

We are having a workshop+Lecture session under him, and with all his experience and the Wisdom, he makes every passing second worth a Million!!!

He is currently in an advisory role with multiple organizations world wide and the Chairman & Chief Mentor of Boston Analytics, a firm specializing in providing precision analytical services/financial modeling tools to corporate and government agencies., along with that He"s been working with numerable multinational Companies over the Globe.


He for sure has made the workshop a place to vouch for. And for people of his stature, { for whom Heads & Chief Executives of IBM, SONY,and Rajat Gupta (Mckinsey fame) are well........Good Friends!!!}, he is modest and easy to relate to. Such approch truely makes a workshop a wonderful experience.

This event has been gaining a lot of popularity amongst the B.Tech and M.Tech Junta as well, and getting the whole batch work towards making this a Success is a Pleasure for sure....

A Jam Packed Audience is Soothing to the Eyes any Day. Especially, when people have put in lot of efforts wholeheartedly.



Hurrily am getting Hurried coz I am Hungry.....Will put a Full Stop here to have Dinner at the Mess!!

Kp up the Good work!!
All the Best Guys!!

Warm Regards,
Nikhil Jain

Writing so much on the life at this campus........I fail to understand why has some one not posted the VGSOM Olympics here???

Let me first make this clear that most of the sports events on the IIT KGP campus happen under lights and u never feel short of the lumen value required to play!!!

Well........I'd take up this one here...... This year's VGSOM Olympics kick-started with the ladies' Slow Cycling Race and was well-contested by females of both the batches, to be followed by slow cycling race for males.

Next on the line was the very eventful, highly entertaining Cricket Tournament, that saw great participation from both the batches. 14 teams in the mens and 4 teams of the females...... Leaving apart only a very few one-sided matches, each match was true to the spirit of cricket and filled with excitement and jittery moments!!!

As is said in Cricket, u do not win till the last ball is bowled and several matches went to the wire..........but then we had lots of fun, made good buddies and surely broke few of the window panes!!!

The females'matche were equally entertaining in their own ways....... special thanks to their coaches in both the batches.........

All this happened before the mid sems happened!!! After Mid sems, in the next post!!!
