There had been massive development in just 20 days. this shows the kind of enthusiasm we are carrying.

There is a new wish which has started to find place in my bed time prayers. A wish to have more than 24 hrs in a day. Sometimes I look at my watch and swear y the hell i can see digit to 12 . the fourth dimension seems to b picking up speed and life length breadth and width seems to b a miniature quantity.
last Tuesday was the last day of the foundation course and I feel so sad having missed most of it Paul sir was awesome!! after the last lecture immediately we had to fight way back to audi. It was indeed a landmark day as the IIM Shillong becomes the first to enter CSR. yup we had a huge participation from NGOs of in and around shillong and I feel proud to know that m gonna part of it soon by doing a project for one of them
