6 Months Training @ Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai
It all started on 3rd May 2010, the day for the first time ever i entered the Taj Mahal Palace. It was a dream come true for me to get a chance to train at this prestigious property,which is known to be one of the worlds best property. The First thought came to all our minds on the first day was that "We are alone". As months progressed some of us became very close friends. Day by day learning at this place was becoming more and more fun. People i.e.: the hotel staff was too professional and friendly as well at the same time. Months passed by very quick and the farewell arrived. The day when some of us were rewarded for our hard work. There were many awards to be given on this day for best performances in respective departments. I won the Best Trainee In F&B service, this was truly a deserving although F&B service isn't my area of interest but i managed to get award for this category.People do give their best in their respective area of interest. While training period Front office wasn't the only area which i wanted to learn as it was my area of interest. To be a good hotelier you need to have a fair idea of all d core departments.
D - Day arrived, the last day in the hotel, none of us wanted to leave this place and go,we could see tears in all the eyes who had to leave, this was an emotional moment,but unfortunately we had to leave.
The journey did not end here infact it started from here.

KAYOS 2010
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
“I took up one idea. Made that one idea Kayos 2010 – thought of it, dreamt of it, lived on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of Kayos 2010, and just left every other idea alone. This was the way to success.”
I Lead the Kayos 2010 team. We hope to Make it one of the best College fest in Mumbai. Yes it was a Huge Success.

Make no mistake about it, you are dumb. You’re a group of incredibly, well-educated dumb people. I was there. We all were there. You’re barely functional. There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screw-ups, they’re a-coming for ya. It’s a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb
“I am terminally sentimental about graduations.They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals—though I was assured, there is life after graduation.”

THINC FOOTBALL LEAGUE 2009
This was the first event organised by me as a Cultural Coordinator.
Teams line up before the start of the final match of the THINC FOOTBALL LEAGUE. The 2 teams from Champlain college were in finals, it was Seniors v/s Juniors. The underdogs Champlain 2 that was my team we won against Champlain 1 in the League matches. That was a huge blow to Wren & team. Anyways it is a sport, if one wins the other has to loose. That day was our's when we won which was unexpected.
Result: Champlain 1 won the tournament which was the strongest team.
The tournament was held on 18th, 20th & 22nd of june, 2009. This was an intra college football tournment where we had 5 teams participating.

APRIL 1, 2009
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are a leader.”
On the fine evening of 31st March, 2009, deserving young candidates of our college were bestowed with the responsibility of leading their College from the front with their commitment, confidence and competence. The Investiture Ceremony thus marked the inaugural of the junior and senior student council for the academic session 2009-10.
An energetic and message- filled song by the College choir appointed the ambience, as it were for the significant ceremony. “Saathi haath badhhana” was the song chosen, appropriately motivational and marking also the commemoration of 100 years of our college.
I was appointed cultural coordinator of the college for the year 2009 - 2010. It is an amazing feeling to be a cultural cordinator of the college.
