The Quintessential Outsider

It’s been a long time since I posted on this blog. Well, I recently transferred some pics I have taken here at IIMA from my cellphone to my laptop, so I decided to put them up through this post. Here we go:

Vishu the Vitruvian Man: Can you see the papers in his hand? Such papers or a book can always be found with every IIMA student at all times. Tells you how much we study, right?

And btw, the hole he is standing in is one of numerous holes in buildings throughout the campus. That’s IIMA’s unique architectural style. This particular one is at the Dorm-25 entrance in the new campus.

Akshay at the famous Louis Kahn Plaza

Louis Kahn was the architect who designed the IIMA campus. The building in the background is the Vikram Sarabhai Library, flanked by the faculty wings and the old classrooms.

We do have our moments of fun

This was during preparations for T-Nite, an inter-section cultural festival held soon after a new batch joins IIMA

One fine day in class

This was during a break between classes. As you can see, IIMA guys look quite normal.

A Prayaas to make a difference

Prayaas is an effort by IIMA to facilitate education for underprivileged children and give them the opportunity to attend ‘mainstream’ schools. Here is a pic of the Prayaas class in progress.

There are many other pics that others have taken, of the students, professors, events on campus, etc. However, I prefer putting up only the pics that I have taken up here.

And there is an issue that’s been on my mind for a few days. So the next post should come up some time soon…
