The GAM days

I had joined SANDI in the first week of June. Though i was very tired or organizing events and wanted a break, GAM was too big to be ignored. I saw another opportunity to learn new ways to organize events.
So the day i landed up in bangalore, thanks to Ankit Shah ( my batchmate in NITT), i got in touch with organizers of GAM. From then on it was mere application of what i learned in Pragyan. Soon Mradul joined me :).
GAM was very different from Pragyan or Festember or Nittfest. Here most of the work was outsourced, we were involved only with generating ideas, it was a difficult model for me to work in, i was used to do lot of work in my college, but here we did only quality work, I am waiting for the day when Pragyan will also be able to adopt this model :)
Rajan, Ganapathy, Madhur, Mrinal, Vibhu, Mahesh etc reminded me the like of Anand, kaushik, greg and co, the people who were my role models in my college. These people have been very active in keeping the NITT flag flying!!
I wanted some sort of reunion with my guys from college, perhaps GAM was a place where all of us can work one last time with each other. Shyam Ram and Vijaykumar also joined the OC team of GAM. But then we badly missed abhi, sura, raggit, venky, pambu and nami :(. They would have added up to all the fun we had in GAM.
