Induction into Atharva

    
After all the hype and chaos surrounding the application and processes for various committees, the d-day finally arrived when the list came out. And as fate would have it, there it was – my name under Atharva – SPH (‘Scheduling, Planning and Hospitality’ for the un-initiated ). A team of 13 of us from PGP-1 laden with the daunting task of making Atharva 2010 happen. Of course we had the senie team to guide and mentor us.

Well as they say, no work is complete without a bit of fun. So as a ‘surprise’ party, we were taken for a nice outing to a location I certainly will not disclose. With pouring rain on the way, it felt like engineering days all over again. Some day later maybe I’ll blog bout me, the rain and pune. Coming back to the induction party, after having a gala time with the whole gang, we pushed off for dinner at one of the posh restaurants at Udupi. Trust me, the sight of warm soup and hot snacks is enough to make you weak in the knees especially when you are soaked in all the right and wrong places thanks to the rain. Some day that was. Phew !

So after a proper session of fun and play, the team got down to business from the next day onwards. Portfolios were assigned and timelines were discussed. Looks like a lot of hard work awaits us as Atharva draws closer. But as some great man said, “when you gotta go, you gotta go”. So the spirits are high, and the common resolve is to make Atharva 2010 the grandest ever. More on this in the coming blogs.
