Blue blooded

For those looking for a scoop to further their chances of spreading rumors, kindly leave the page before you get disappointed. For the rest, this is pretty routine stuff, and you could ignore it :D

Couldn't resist, could you? Now that you've decided to continue, at the outset, "figures" are of no (least) importance here. Friendships are. In the past couple of months, I have seen a strong underlying current of guidance and support from not only my senior batch, but also those who have passed out of the institution. This just reaffirms why a strong alumni base is considered very important. At every step, at each trivial concern, there were seniors to help and for no apparent reason. Yes, the institution's pride is at stake, but still, once could see the genuine concern and the desperation to help their juniors succeed.

Apart from the amazing senior-junior camaraderie, I have seen bonds evolve in my own batch. Every person standing for each other, ensuring that each one of us takes that next step together was an experience I am thankful for to each of you. We have stood the test of an enormous pressure-cooker situation, and have successfully thwarted the countless problems - it's our opportunity to show what a force we are. At the same time, it's a responsibility we have been bestowed with - of continuing to build on from here.

I would have loved to name all the PGP2s (second year students) here in a thank-you note. But I won't. Since that would force me to name someone first, and someone second. Batch of 46/16, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for what you have given us over these last few months. Thank you for forging bonds so strong, for guiding us the way around those corners, for becoming better as a person, for being able to bring out the best in us, for giving every kind of help conceivable. Having worked for the various teams during the placements, I have realized the huge support system you had in place. It was unbelievable how you managed a work of this magnitude and importance. I would, in particular, like to mention the placereps. You guys were amazing. With so much pressure, not just from inside the campus but also with outside expectations, you did a fantabulous job. I hereby promise you, we as a batch, shall carry forward this heritage you have introduced us to. Each one of us will be equally committed to contribute in the future of IIM Calcutta.

A final word for my batchmates. Thank you for being there; for being able to say "I will not sleep since my friend needs me."

Love you guys. IIMC Rocks.
