Hi All

The Session at Great Lakes has already started with loads of things happening in the last one week. Session started on 19/04/06 wherein we had verification of certificates on the first day.

We started with FOOL (Fun oriented outdoor learning program

) from 21st April

21st April :We reached Green Coconut at around 10:00 AM and the group was divided into 3 teams.We started with Tug - of -War and after winning and losing a few, we moved in for a few indoor games. Salsa was the next in queue and it was really nice to find out a few great salsa dancers amongst the batch. After a nice lunch,it was time for trekking. In the heat of Chennai it all seemed rubbish, till the time we were actually into it only to realise how much it helped all of us to gel around.After the tiring trekking trip, yoga gave some respite. Dinner and Dance were the next in line and by the time we landed on our beds, we had made a few new frnds

22nd April : Started around 8:30 AM with a heavy breakfast. We had a few indoor games which were basically for building trust amongst each other. After Lunch it was time to be in the sun planning how to help the team pass through the the traps!!!!We had two guest lectures to finish the days schedule, after which we danced to glory!

23 rd April : Played some amazing indoor games which at any other time would have sounded foolish, but end of the day they actually brought all of us together. In the evening we moved to Green Meadows for a freshers party, where seniors performed a few dance nos.,skits, and Gl-Oscars(Great Lakes Oscars).

25 th April : Inaugration of 3rd Batch of Great Lakes. Mr Ravi Venkateshan(Chairman, Microsoft India) and Dr. KC Chakrabarty (Chairman, Indian Bank) were the guest of honor. Mr Ravi Venkateshan gave an insightful talk on how IT can be used to solve social issues.

28 th April : Convocation of 2nd Batch of Great Lakes. Mr Adi Godrej (Chairman, Godrej) and Mr KB Chandra Sekhar (CEO and Chairman, JamCracker Inc. USA) Presided over the function. The function was held at Taj Coromondel, Chennai. Each student wearing Black Robe was called on the stage and had a chance to hug Uncle Bala

.After the degrees were awarded to all students, everyone threw their hats in the air!!!!
