Back to the future

I am back in Bangalore to build a future and this explains the corny title. Another contender was: B2B signifying Bombay to Bangalore (to study things like B2B). So, what have I been upto?
May 1 - June 4: Spent finishing off DDP...most taxing and productive (:P) month of my life...too busy to blog
June 5 - June 21: A well deserved break at home...too disinclined to blog
June 22 onwards: Too busy to even sleep! Four weeks in the hallowed portals of IIMB (yeah it's a cliche)...been quite an experience. Some recollection:

1. Had a SPIC-MACAY concert by some IIMB alumnus, Manasi Prasad, who left corporate life for her love towards Carnatic Music. Came back totally inspired. She gave an awesome quote --- Manasi (addressing the junta): You might as well think, "What am I doing here? Where is my Mettalica, Nirvana, RHCP." I would say, it is a part of your growing up. You learn to prefer classical to hard rock; wine to whiskey...so much for the fans of hard rock :D
2. Met Nandan Nilekeni and talked to him one on one. Fine, it was a seminar and I asked him some question which he answered. Nevertheless, it was too big a high. I think my heart pumped faster than it would have, had I ran a 100m sprint. The question and the answer really did not matter but I wanted to talk to him...repeated the question in my mind with the exact words some dozen times before I spurted it out.
3. Over here, life is hectic, food is good, DC sucks and net speed is pathetic and swimming pool is missing.

The IITB connection

1. Had an IITB meet (PGP1s and PGP2s) last weekend...it was fun...hostel clashes, freshies, H10, PAFs, DC, BB, DOSA, Shack...chamakna, scope, daya, daya max, pain, nabad, junta, fart, RG. Why everyone thinks H-3 had good food...it didn't, I am a testimony to that. 
2. RG is now much more prevalent (from what I have heard)
3. SAC is now Students' Affairs Council. I still miss Students' Activity Center.
4. During the first week, a fellow (and we had never met before) asked me if I am from IIT Bombay. He figured it out by my frequent usage of pain. He is from IITD.
5. Everytime I enter through the maingate, I have this inherent urge to scream out the password to the watchman. However, I constrain myself. Yesterday, when I was coming back, I was praying that he would stop me. Felt very happy on saying student...yippeee :)
6. The lingo here is very underdeveloped. I sense an opportunity here to IITBize this place :P

PS: I am very happy for my new cell number, 99-8-65-8-99-65..scavenged through some fifty numbers to spot it.
