Being part of the council does not only come with great responsibility, free lunches, free snacks and long meeting their are other perks as well. You need to attend russian presidents speech sitting in the first row, you get to attend very high profile meeting behind the doors which no one have seen (board room) and you get to go for a special dinner at the best hotel in mumbai attended by Indian Prime Minister. Now i know it very well that the perks outweigh the reponsibilities and other parts but this is what has actually happened. First was about the meeting with director of the institute, it was meeting for.... whatever. But the important part was that the meeting was held in the board room of the institute, this i feel is the sanctum sanctorum of the institute where only very few lucky ones get a chance to step inside. Names of all the chairman of Board of Governors are placed up there and the room gives a sense of authority like none other. We had Russian president visiting campus as a part of his tour and being a part of the coordination team i actually got a chance to sit in the first row for that interaction, well i didnt quite ask any question and didnt make a fool of myself but yes it was one event to remember.The icing on the cake of perks was the visit to Taj Hotel, yes the one which was attacked on 26/11. Their was a ceremony for Infosys awards foundation and it was being graced by whos who of the Indian industry along with PM of India, CM of Maharashtra, Governor of Maharashtra and on and on.....
This entry is more of an record for myself rather than being a part of the general part of entries.
