Youtube Channel: Idea Matters Production

I started a youtube channel few days back. Uploaded most of the videos - movies, MMs, etc - I have made so far. One of them already got more than 200 views. One can find channel's link over here.

My New Movie

I shot a short movie immediately after the mid terms with the motivation of doing something that I like. Thanks to Vanar and Amod for making it possible . Here you can watch the same.

Page3 Personality

One of the first few activities that I undertook here on IIML campus was making a skit for Parichay - a event for freshers to showcase their talent. There were musical performances which set the tone for the evening and then dance performances and skit. The skit was a big hit and in few days, thanks to TOI, we all became Page3 personalities.

Induction at IIML

So we got a feel of the coming days, courtesy the seniors here in IIML.

4 days were made so hectic that we had no time to even complain about it. The hot weather made it worse. First the loo in 45+ temperature and then the humidity made life really difficult.

The schedule for last week included 9-5 induction program by faculty and Alumni and then Role Play, Case Study, Presentation, submissions and other sessions by seniors in the night till 4AM. There were few complains among people in our batch but I enjoyed. They said people from IITD can never complain about all these :)

There have been too many introductions from the day I reached here and I no longer want to talk about myself anymore.

Committee Presentations have been made and we need to decide about our preferences in a day or two. And than we will have interviews for them. I found this practice different from from my undergrad but with only two years to spend I believe there is no other way out.

Classes began today and with weather becoming a bit pleasant here in Lucknow it was a good start.

7000+ Kms in a fortnight

I travelled around 7300 Kms in a fortnight.

I travelled from Bangalore to Dhanbad (via Kolkata), Dhanbad to Jammu(Vaishno Devi) via Ranchi , back to Dhanbad (via Ranchi) and finally from Dhanbad to Lucknow in a fortnight. This gave me a little time to be at my home but it was good travelling and enjoying with the family.

Thanks to Sid, Chummi and Vivek that I got all my luggage loaded at Bangalore station. Loading 8 pieces of goods in 2 minutes, that too when the bogey you are supposed to get in stops at some distance from you, was no small thing. Then thanx to my childhood friend Batti that I had a good time at Howrah station waiting for my train to Dhanbad. But it was really tough to get used to hot and humid weather after pleasant summers for continuous three years in Bangalore.

I had a unique experience during the trip of Vaishno Devi. We had tickets in 2nd AC. After half the journey the AC of our bogey broke down. And so the emergency window had to be kept open for the last leg of the journey. It was fun keeping emergency window open in an AC bogey for the sake of air.

Its really good to be the only young leg among the people going for a sacred place and thereby getting a lot of blessings from others for your efforts.Overall it was a memorable trip.

I will try to share the stories of reaching Lucknow and intial experiences here in few days.
