On the Eve of 22nd June, 2009!
IIM Lucknow: Class of 2011 has ARRIVED!
I haven’t written much here, of late. In fact I haven’t written much on TalkingTails either. I guess I am going through this phase when I am thinking – like almost each of us 330-odd men and women who are here and are looking forward to an enriching 2 years (pun intended on “enriching!” 
).
I have been here for 2 days (just under 48 hours) – it is 4 Am in the morning and we have just returned from a “gyaan” session from the seniors at Hostel 14 where I have been allocated a room. The good thing about being among SMART people is that, well, the fact that they are SMART! – I have met some of my batchmates at IIM L (who are absolutely amazing people) – and I am yet to meet most (and I am pretty sure they will bo no less!).
Each of us is here for a reason – Jobs, Money, Brand name .. or … as one of my friends put it.. Knowledge! 
– The other good hting about being among SMART people is the fact that you become competitive .. and YET.. understand tha maxim behind “Co-operate to Dominate”.
As I pen down my last, in what has been a long day (I wouldn’t say tiring though!), I look forward to the things that await us:
- Will the Silver Jubilee anniversery CHANGE the way India (& the world) looks ta IIM L?
- Will PGP 25 be the BEST Batch IIM L has ever seen?
- Will IIM L be ranked #1 in B-school rankings next year?
- Will “HeLL-Talk” become IIM L’s Official Student-run Blog?
- Will I make friendships that will last me a lifetime?
- Will some of us go on to “change the way the world works?”
- Will our batch produce the most amazing entreprenuers for the world?
- Will we be a FORCE to reckon with wherever we go?
- Will we get the expected “ROI” (Whatever that might mean to different people!) in 2 years’ time?
) of these questions will be in the affirmative. However, I know that all of us are excited to be here.. and I hope each of us makes the most of our 2 years at Lucknow!.. Let’s get on with it! … Bring it ON! 
good welcome note…….everyone of us would be having these questions and many more…..expectations and many dreams….hope all of us achieve what we have set out for and as u said….Lets get on with it!!
Nice way to start the 2 yr bash my friends..
