If Oscar winners are allowed to make speeches, then why aren't we allowed the same privileges at graduation ceremonies. After all, this is as big an event as it gets in every Joe's life. Considering I never got a chance to make one, here I go attempting one.
(Since I don’t have our yearbook with me now and all I have is the B'day calendar staring at me, the acknowledgements are in the order of ppl's B'day)
It’s been a great pleasure knowing all 132 of you. Each one, in ur own way, have left an indelible mark on me and as I find myself running the last 10 mtrs of my student life, I would like to place on record my humble thanks to
Inspector Shukla for teaching me that money borrowed during Markops and Markstrat is probably the only time in life when it does not need to be repaid
Chinu for showing me that a 2 year all expenses paid holiday is still possible staying at B-school - Ur poor father !
Tusku for all those magical moments of sheer madness on IP at 1 am in the morning
Sumit for all those proxies in Market Research without which my Wednesday evenings would have been lifeless

Onkar for teaching me that one could LOVE-ALL
Aunindo for enlightening me on the merits of leading a clean life

Trooni for teaching me some of life's most invaluable lessons and for laying the foundations for the mad Jupe I am today
Ashish for trying to match me in decibels in the hostel and intensity in B'day bumps - u havta admit though that u always were second best !
Paresh Nagar, our desi Shekhar Suman meets Udham Singh equivalent, who provided us BH-168 and other cheap thrills :-)
Amit for all those googled case studies and heart-to-heart talks
Sagun for being my only love in college
