XL Dream Run pics

Everyone ran on Sunday, the 16th day of November, 2008. This was the first long distance run for me. It was never a marathon per se for the distance was just 4 km. There were almost 300 runners along with faculty and XLRI staffs. And it was fun. Here are the pictures collated by Prof. Madhukar Shukla, the inspiration and the guiding force behind the event.

Celebrating Diwali - XL Style

Diwali was coming after 3 years for me...the previous two years I was as far from Diwali as possible. I was in the US and people don't celebrate Diwali there (at least the part of the world where I haunted).

So I was doubly excited for the Diwali celebrations this year. Here in XLRI, the profs had organized a get-together of the students in the huge lawn outside the GMP hostel. Apart from that, they had also invited us to their residences. It was really good to see the profs and the students (BM, PM&IR, GMP, DGMP, FPM) together. It was followed by bursting crackers which continued for over two hours.



Finally, at 11:30pm, there was an Antakshari hosted where many teams participated and every team had a prof with them.

Overall, it was a cracking Diwali and a cherished experience.
