My friend Ms Roopa had summarized so beautifully commending the efforts of all the people involved in making this year’s record. I don’t have any better words to write about them. She even commended my work too. Thanks Roopa!!
Just an insider information now that everything is over. We have had ample number of meetings and most of them ended fighting with each other and all in the true spirit and everyone of us wanted to do something better to the batch. For those who would like to know what Roopa had written, click http://roopaachar.blogspot.com/2007/03/placements-my-perspective.html
I would like to add one more paragraph to what Roopa had written and it will also not be appropriate if we do not acknowledge the contribution of this person. She is none other than Roopa herself.
Roopa is the backbone of this year’s Placement Committee and had done a commendable job through out. Her contributions are highly visible and made a distinct mark for herself. Without her support it would not have been possible for anyone to do so much. She had voluntarily signed out of the placement process informing the batch about her International Offer. She volunteered to be a neutral observer thereby protecting the interests of all the parties. Well Done Roopa!!!
Two more people who have done a great job through out the year are Manik and Sitashwa. It is impossible if these guys were not there to constantly pester and pressurize people to do what they are supposed to do. That includes contributing towards Placements Brochures, following up with letters and calls, being a buddy for companies or whatever it is. You name it, these guyz have done it. Gr8 JOB!! Wish you both a successful career ahead. Your determination will take you ahead.
Prasadh the low profiled guy in the committee had made remarkable contributions with his wisdom in providing alternate solutions during tough times. He has contributed immensely right from design of the brochure to sending the recruiters back home after placements.
Finally, I would like to signoff by mentioning the efforts of one more person. Without whom we would not have achieved this fete. He may say that it is his part of the duty. Even to do their duty, there’s something called experience/learning curve. For this gentleman, the curve is so sharp and steep. He is none other than our own Placements Director Prof. Swaminathan Murthy. He assumed office on October 5, 2006 and within a short span of 4 months, his contribution is awesome. His ability to communicate with various people across the organizations and his short and sweet mails are simply superb. Many a times his mails have turned the tables and did wonders this season. Though I’m much junior to appreciate your work, but could not afford to signoff without commending your work. HATS OFF to YOU Sir!!

Hey Praveen, thanks a lot for the note. I’m sure we are gonna look back at these college days and feel proud of having been a part of all these activities.

You are right Roopa!! These are memories of lifetime, which I’m sure we will all cherish.
