Excerpt From a Mail to Someone Stepping into a BSchool Campus

...So this is me welcoming to two years of an amazing experience!! I shall narrate this very small anecdote to let you know how dear our psyche shall hold the campus and its memories...

During Manfest-our management fest (what an unimaginary name, eh!)-we also have the Alumni Reunion happening. The greatest draw for the alumni is the chance to relive their wild nights at the instiparties, just once more, for a brief three days. Towards the fag end of one such instiparty I came across one slightly drunk alumni talking to a senior in Tamil. Mother tongue bonhomie tempted me to join in and I did-the conversation was in a sentimental key.

'Hi...!', I said at the opportune moment when he looked up to see who is the new one in the magic circle, and introduced myself,
'Mahesh. And you..?'
'I was born Karthik Ramanathan, I shall die an IIML graduate'

I am sure, to this date, it was not the drinks.
