Life at IIMA – part 2 (with pictures) September 24, 2008
Posted by chitranshu in Personal.trackback
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…
Hello there! Good to see some pictures. How are you enjoying the work? I’d be interested to know what future Indian execs think about the chaos on Wall Street.
Life and work is good here. Definitely hectic, but manageable. And the studies are more enjoyable than engineering, for me at least.
Well, contrary to what you might expect, there IS a lot of difference of opinion about the whole chaos even here. While most people will agree that there was a screw-up, their positions about the reasons and the industry as a whole are varied. However, there are no strongly anti-system guys out here. That is a given, when you are in business school.
Cool photos! Just happened to visit your blog…..hope to hear a lot more about your life in IIMA

P.S- on a lighter note, IIMA guys look pretty normal alright. But are there enough girls there as well?
