ISB - Washington, DC Meet

Hello All -

Finally some of us in the US did get together !!!

Watching classmates from Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi have frequent get-togethers and partying etc., made the envious admit@US also try and do the same;). While plans were underway from almost early Jan, nothing really materialized successfully. Every time when a meet was planned the weather Gods frowned upon us and played spoilsport. There was either heavy rain or snow or both. So the planned get-togthers of New York/New Jersey and later at Philadelphia/Wilmington were canceled. A Washington, DC meet was planned once R2 results were out, but that fizzled out as usual, thanks to a horrible snow.

But we did not give up and finally 4 of us from the DC area met at Bethesda, Maryland yesterday March 7, 2007. Our friendly weather Gods did shower snow again - but we stuck to our plans this time. Dining at the Delhi Durbar, we had so much to talk from our edu/work backgrounds to ticketing/shipping to India to pre-term tests!
L -> R: Siva, Anurag, Gaurav, Shrishti (Gaurav's wife) and Himanshu.

Inspite of the bitter cold travel and the parking ticket souvenir (that I was awarded with), we all felt excited to meet at least once before we met formally again as classmates at ISB..
