The Chronicles of Gurgaonia: The House, the Food and the Internet

The God has given us the world along with it many things like iso-propane, neo-pentane, leaves,shoe lace, glass etc. But the three most important and basic necessary things, for our survival in this world - shelter, food and Internet. So these are the things I was looking for when i went to gurgaon. I reached Gurgaon on Sunday. I had been rest assured by ashish that the first two necessities will be taken care by him till i find the two for myself. I took some space in ashish's livingroom/bedroom for that day.

First year@Nirma

Wow just finished my first year at nirma inst of management (hope successfully, the results are still awaited). Had a rocking time there. Well there are loads of thing and hence won't write all in this thread. And after a wonderful time I am feeling very nice to be half MBA. Also missing our seniours of Nirma. But this summer I have the opportunity to again go away from nirma and live at some other place. In summer training i am in Gurgaon working for a company. My first job of my life. But job reminds me of the good days of the college life - the hostel,the class mates, the night life, the studies, the assignments, the LAN, and all the masti which is not here.
