IIT Bombay Networking Lunch

July 9, 2010, Sakoon Indian Restaurant

SOLD OUT EVENT


On Friday, July 9, IITBHF SF Bay Area Chapter held the first of series of Networking lunches to be held in 2010. The event was a smashing success with about 30 alumni attending the lunch, spanning batches from 1967 to 2001. Dr. Kanwal Rekhi, Distinguished Alumnus (DA) from the batch of 1967, was the guest of honor. Attendees mingled with each other and with Kanwal over a sumptuous buffet at Sakoon Restaurant in Mountain View. Kanwal shared his life experiences and gave an inspiring speech and pointers on how to think about Entrepreneurship. Feedback from attendees, many of whom were attending bay area chapter event for the first time, was very positive as they got a chance to see familiar and new faces, have an IIT style cack session and interact one on one with a DA from our great Institute. All this over a short 1.5 hours of lunch!

Networking lunches are a great way of connecting with other alumni, be it that you are new to the bay area or have lived here for years!

Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements about the next lunch. We will be holding these regularly and also moving the venues around the Bay Area.

PANIIT Bay Area Diwali Dhamaka: October 3, Saturday

 
IIT BOMBAY WINS PANIIT DIWALI DHAMAKA AGAIN

IITB has won the trophy 4 out of 7 times (and extremely close runner-up on 2 occasions)

                                         

The PANIIT Diwali Dhamaka involved cultural competition between the 7 campuses. Each campus had 15 min to perform on the theme “Credit Crunch”. The competition was extremely tough this year with great performances by all IITs. IITB team was the last to perform on stage and put up another spectacular show titled “Crunch ka Punch”. and won the competition. Great effort from the entire team (involving alumni, spouses and children).

 Video of IIT Bombay Winning performance:

Few comments from audience about IITB performance:

 I just loved IIT-B’s performance last night!  You guys were awesome… tight script, great humor, great acting, dances, singing, and good use of lighting, props, etc.  Transitions were seamless… separated you from the rest!  Good job! 

"How do you guys pull this off? Where do you buy your sets from?"

Congratulations for winning 4 of the 7 Diwali Dhamaka’s. It is almost getting monotonous. I think we need to introduce a Runners up trophy.

 

Heard from Participants:

Just wanted to say how enjoyable this whole experience has been for me. We put this show every Diwali but this Diwali Dhamaka was special because of several reasons.

It feels good for y'all to include folks from the "uncle's batch" :-)

Let me tell you it feels really good to be back among this amazing family. Boy I was missing out over the last 5 years.... 

This has got to be the most intense Diwali Dhamaka so ever. I still can't believe we accomplished so much on such a tight schedule. It was so cool to see all of us give it our very best: from making the script that much tighter, the prods that much cooler and the dances that much more energetic. 

This has been an awesome journey, full with fun, laughter, dance and music. It is an honor to be part of such a great and enthu IITB family. The spirit is always "team first" and "perfection", like true professionals.

Thanks to everybody for giving us a chance to perform with such a talented team. We enjoyed every minute of it. We almost had a party in the middle of every week :-)

Feels good to be part of the team that always thinks ahead :)

I feel that the relationships developed during practice sessions grow further after the practices end and the entire group becomes part of an extended family. This is the stuff memories are made of.

This is the IITB magic. The true team spirit and feeling of extended family.

The fun that I had during the practices and the performance of Diwali Dhamaka are some of my most treasured memories. Series of victories is of course a very very nice and deserved icing on the cake.

For us, like many others, participating this year was 'Fun for the whole family' with miyan, biwi, bacchon sahit in practices and on stage. IIT Bombay has the right blend of talent and enthusiasm - the winning ingredients..

Needless to say this  is an awesome group of talented and fun loving folks.
