Ab to hum bhi eligible hain is thread ke liye
Kaise din aa gaye
Aj se 2 months to go

Finally I get to write a post in this hallowed thread (not counting spam)...
Cant believe I get to be a part of this goldy college :)

Will try to pitch in as much as I can here

This is a thread that I have gone through so many times.... for a long time, I dreamed of writing my first post on this as an XLer. This is it.

XLRI ...........I don't have words for you. The journey stated with a miracle and transformed my life forever. I had never imagined that I myself would contribute so much to this forum which I loved to read for hours on end. The culture of XL cannot be matched by any other b-school, perhaps that is why people get so nostalgic when they leave XL. the two years I spent here were simply amazing. I came as nothing and now I am going with friendships, fond memories and some of life's most valuable lessons apart form the leanings of the classroom (they were far and few....maybe i didn't pay too much attention )...........XL you will be missed

I guess my reply would be out of context now

why cant i reply to this thread

why cant i reply to this thread

Life at XL was truly a,azing, the two years that I was there were the best of my life. I have heard about other B-school lifes and cultures but none beats the XL culture and bonding perhaps this is the reason why people feel so nostalgic after leaving this place. I made wonderful friends here, spent countless hours enjoying my life and learning valuable lessons. In the end what I have are memories that will always be there in my heart.I had never imagined that I would myself be able to contribute to this forum which I loved so much, that I spent many hours reading it. The journey started with a miracle and it transformed my life forever. Signing off from this forum as an XL Alumni ......a proud XLer for life

So 1st year at XL is almost over! & its time to head for summers. Time indeed flies here. This term has indeed been hectic for the HR junta. But also got to see why XL is such a reputed place. Some exceptional profs taught us this term - couple of them GOD level, if you ask me Seniors have left and suddenly its less than a year left for us Have made some amazing friends here and hopefully learnt something Hope to make the most of the time left here

@kunalgolani @StadiumArcadium +1000000

@kunalgolani Agreed.. It would be awesome.. this is the thread that kept me inspired through all the hard times... Have already read this complete thread thrice in the last 18-20 months.

@bharat436, would you or your batchmates like to revive this thread? Maybe you could tell us something more about the XL culture? Thanks!

Yet another wet nite(albeit this time it's different as it's happening on the occasion of Alumni Homecoming).Met alums who were coming here after a gap of 10 years-their stories of how they miss Xl even after 10 years is amazing to hear! When the workload & monotony of submissions gets too much, it makes sense to pause and see how people from other side of the fence view XL. I,myself, try and go back a year when I was in Delhi,slogging in my job,wishing how I would give anything to get here(after having screwed up CAT) and now that I am here,sitting in one of the hostel rooms here and talk to my friends who didn't unfortunately make it,I realize what a privilege it is to be here!

Thread seems dead for the past 4 monthsWell I have nothing much to add...5th term is almost over...hardly 3 months left before it's time to bid adieu...feeling sad already

You'll have loads of time to feel sad, for now indulge in Bishu Da's 3.00 am parathas, Dadu's overprices items and other things we are missing right now

Thread seems dead for the past 4 months :(

Day6,Computer centre,XLRI :)

Some Ms Excel class is on by the looks ok what is open on the projector screen
Temperature have gone south & the workload has moved northwards!

having prep classes by seniors till 3am nowadays.Besides this, have been high twice already :drinking:need to explore jampot more
Lots more is happening in terms of new communities & meeting folks everyday,but sadly Xl janta seems conspicously absent here

So the dream finally becomes a reality
Reached campus yesterday & already explored most parts of it.
Small campus,but awesomely green & neat.Only bummer(with no ref to BM GUYS ) is the weather.But hopefully things will get better with the rains arriving.
As of now,downloading full on from the internal movie database FLIX
Still meeting new people & making friends :biggrin:
In short,I'm loving it
XL rocks

Hey Guys,

Nostalgia grips me as I see the same emotions running through this thread as were there sm 2 years ago when another new batch of lost souls was bout to join. Trust me, these are going to be the best 2 years of your lives and ask their worth from somebody who has already left XL. Live it to the fullest and make us proud. Here's wishing you all the best in your journey ahead and may all of u get wat u deserve. Here's d_1 signing off with a heavy heart and seriously wish if I cud have stayed a little longer@XL. I wish like quoting one of my favorite songs-

Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable but in the end
It's right I hope you've had the time of your life

cheers,

d_1

Kudos to seniors for keeping this thread alive. Can't wait to reach JSR and carry on legacy. Many puys are joining XL this year. I am sure this thread will be buzzing in some time.

PS: Anu Sir, excellent post as always. Will love to join External Linkages. Hopefully, will get a chance.

The feeling that you get when you receive the first paycheck in hand cant simply be described in words
Seems like this weekend the party shall go on and on ( vaise bhi kon sa band huyi the ) coz most of us would get our stipends( for some like me, it would be the 1st ever in life )
Being in mumbai is an advantage in itself, XLers are not far,
the wait for weekend begin on monday itself

Welcome to all the juniors, who made it to XL this time, I am eager to meet you all

life has moveda full circle, it was only yesterday we were posting frantically trying to get information from eniors, scavenging every post, thread, discussion we could find just to interact, talk and know our potential batchmates seniiors and ofcourse XL itself. Today sitting in the office I was reminded of the same time...
Its 3rd week into the internship and already we are missign XLRI too much, the long hours put in there seem to be pleasant as compared to life in the corporate world. Sure enough XLers are everywhere, even in my office every second person is an XL alum, XL mafia hunhhhh

The weekends are fun with Xlers all over the place....andmumbai has a lot to offer for the wandering mind

nie idea, as this thread is dying with not many contributing to it

I am planning to construct a Life@XL chronicle using excerpts from this life at XL thread... your opinion seniors??????

XLence is everything Rest is Crap

Here's the glimpse of life at XLRI for the batch of 2010-12.

Just mortal human beings who dont easily give up........ i could go on and on but i think this much should suffice

frankly,i dont think any of us are any different than those outside this campus.

How you guys made it ??
I just cant even think of cracking XAT.

That too after this acads thing... I better make a time machine and try again

- Ananya

This is that time of the year when the feeling starts to sink in that we were so lucky to have the senior batch of 2010-12...seniors...u guys rock..

Last post from room number 435 of TSTMR hostel in XLRI.
Normally exams me padhne ka man nahi karta tha,aaj to likhne ke ka nahi kar raha tha.
Goodbye XLRI...To home now with Mr.Kat
Thanks a lot for 2 gr8 years and loads of life long memories and friends :):)

:cheers:

Slowdown.....downturn.........poor market......economic unstability..........XLers once again laughed at these terms. The seniors have proven their mettle and faced adverse conditions and challenges with their toughness and emerged victorious. The final placements culminated within 4 days. Talking about poor conditions.....lol.....its party tym
