Rainbow

"Parting is such sweet sorrow". But surprisingly, no tears just intermittent pangs of sadness. Thanks to Orkut, FB and gtalk... I know I will be updated with everything happening in the life of these people who made my 2 years here worth it. I had written once in a blog that I hope, after passing out, Delhi will leave a smile on my face when I think back.

Thanks to the juniors for that kick-ass farewell. Considering the catastrophe that happened for the farewell'09 this was great. Thanks to the effort they had put in, it was too good. They came up with quotes for each and every one in the batch, gifted us with the perfect token, great food (for a change) and the signature DJ. Great skit by Zanskarites and Ara knights shined in that wonderful class video. The ending quote was really special "Don't cry because its over, smile that it happened". Then of course, the part where I had to sing a song like the Fresher's Day and finish it off in the same manner for the farewell.

I will miss this campus more than MEC because 2 years we spent our whole life inside this.

To my batch, DMS, IIT D 2008-'10 ... Love ya all

Aishwarya - Stealing the scene with her melodic voice when we began life here at DMS, she is now all set to conquer the world of international finance. Bubbly and spirited, she is also one of the most assiduous note takers in class. As inseparable from her cellfone as she is, there is no paucity of a bright smiles when she sees you. Let's hope that the Miss Fresher of 2008 keeps the freshness alive and enchants us with another song before we leave DMS. She is …

Lavanya - Looks indeed are deceptive. People had pegged her as the sleepiest person in class during those first few months, but what a different story it is today.

Badminton brazenness and an expression that seems to say "Are you kidding?" have often left many a sporty opponent wondering gaping in wonderment. She is….

Priyanka - This pine-sized punk rocker lives on books, movies and music. Bold, brazen, she can silence her best critics with just a few sharp witty retorts.

DMS saw her in party mode with an attitude of never say die, hope her attitude never dies. She is….

Tina mary mathew - With a blog sharper than Hattori Hanzo swords, her penmanship set the ball rolling for Parivartan '09. So what if she can't be accessed by cell phone or e-mail? A quick stop by SDA will find her in some corner of Qahwah or Barista indulging in intellectual debate. Clumsy at times, but her dexterity and agility on both the basky and baddy courts put even her fiercest detractors to shame...
