IT Team Party - 2007

IT TEAM News Network. Malaka Spice. Pune. 070807.

We started with yummy sea food soup with a generous helping of fish, chicken and spinach soup, followed by grilled chicken, sausages, smoked duck. Salivating already?? Wait!

Main course had mutton, chicken and accompanied by herb rice, and some other varieties.

As for the vegetarians, i have no clue what you guys had and I have no inclination to know the same too! All i can say is, eat a lot of tofu, cauliflower, potato and paneer.

And now for the pics!

Gyaan and food!

Striking a pose, while waiting for the food!

Yumm!

Don't look at my food lady! Wait for yours...

The Interim Team Induction

The Snaps!

All the four teams. PAT cake, not shown in the picture!

We had a gala induction into the council for the interim teams.
There was a large projector and nice four large chocolate cakes. Was too good. The room was packed with everyone! I am sure they would be talking about it for a long time!

Life after IT

Long time no post from me... Satish actually complained. I'm flattered someone other than me actually follows the blog :)

What shall I write about ? Woh alumni waali feeling ab tak set in nahi hui. I still see everyone every weekend, hear about the latest buzz in IT, in their lives... Lots of interesting gossip :p-but we'll take that offline.

Met the new i team briefly - went into flashback mode remembering our i team :). So many memories..did we do all that in just 1 year!!!

The most amazing thing thus far is that the important things haven't changed. When I speak to Sumukh or Punya has a fit (notice I said Punya :p) , or Ram argues with me or Vinni tries to explain something he knows I wont agree too...-it's easy to forget the different lives we lead in different cities now.I'm glad the connect remains.

Have a blast guys.This is a truly fantastic year as far as memories go. Show everyone that IT truly rulz!!

P.S.- Tell i team to start posting !!

I Team Interviews

What an experience! Interim Team interviews are finally done. What an awesome lot for the IT Team. They totally rocked!

Got 37 applications and it really was not easy to choose amongst them. Everyone had something new to offer, other than of course web consultancy. It’s a new trend. People earlier used to say IT Team does Wifi. Now they are more like - IT Team does Web Con. Lol!

Looks like we have a tough semester ahead; and would aim to break all previous records. But more than that, it’s important that we mould them into what could be an awesome lot! Six senior team members from various backgrounds have enough experience to mentor and lead from the front. Of course I am the bakra!

Applications Invited

So we did IT yet again! Here is how we did it!
Unlike the usual presentations we made, this year we added yet another element - WOW!

Setting a SIBM example

The most photogenic team ever!

Who's IT for?

Miss my bachchas

The council room is empty... No cartoons on the whiteboard, no litter on the desk,no bags to trip over, no movies being downloaded on the desktop, no music playing - it's eerie...
I want to rewind to 2 sems back- interviews, i team, j team. ADdIcT, deja Vu times, Bank of Mah project times, summers and crp. I want to allocate work and debug errors.
I want to Reena-proof documents and have meetings in Barista again.


I wanna solve Vishal's doubts n resolve Tunya's tears.
Miss my bachchas...

Management Day '07

Management Day arrived with much fanfare. As always, it was accompanied by a flurry of activity with the silver jubilee alumni reunion happening in the morning and odd jobs to finish in the afternoon. We sat in the council room Vinni (new IT coord) n me absorbing the day which both of us would never forget.
So it began..long-winded speeches, awards and finally, the much-awaited culturals.As I watched the new exec council take their oath of office, I was utterly overwhelmed by a feeling of deja vu as I saw their excitement, the enthusiasm of the batch, the sheer magic of the moment.Has it been a year already? Where did time fly??
We got an award for building the SIBM brand while someone wondered in a parody what 10 people do in IT-all on the same day :). T'isnt work at all- we just do what we love and it translates into brilliant results.
Time to form senior teams now and then we shall hang up our shoes and try our darned best to deaddict ourselves from the everyday pull of IT. Good luck to the future senior team. Do great work , have fun and never let go of the energy and madness that makes IT such a fantastic place.

It team awarded for building the SIBM Brand

Handover on Management Day!

The beginning of the end...

Sem 4 is simply whizzing past - much faste than I want or like. My seniors kept reiterating that I ought to sit back and smell the roses so to speak but I never really paid attention.Suddenly I realise that I'm almost done.
CRP came and went... as di hols, Goa, classes..and now Transcend is round the corner followed by management day.
Management day last year was particularly memorable. It was the day I officially became coordinator. It's been one hell of a year - loads of work, lots of laughter, tons of crazy moments that only IT can have and the most fantastic teams ever. I'd do it all over again if I could :).
Time for new blood to take over and do better. The process is underway. I look forward to the many proud moments that the future s-team is sure to bring me.Good luck guys.
