Know Your Buddy – Devyani Mehta

We all go through that period where we are mocked for some shortcoming of ours. I was no exception. Being a little less tall, I was always picked on for not being able to do the tough things normal people would usually do !

After a while when the mocking got a little too serious and aggravated my anger, I decided to vent out my anger in a more positive way.

I went on my first trek to panchalingeshwar where I was challenging myself with people who were much more built and tall. Trekking, river crossing, living in tents  ,river rafting, rock climbing, made me cherish the very small things in life, one of them being myself 🙂 I began finding happiness in the places I visited, the different people I met and the memories I made.

Going on treks to shankarpur, uttarey and climbing various mountains, living in unbearably cold temperatures just made me realise that my height was inversely proportional to my level of toughness.

I have trekked a total of 96kms and achieved the bronze standard. I hope we all can channelize our so called shortcomings in a way to just challenge ourselves and allow it to surprise us 🙂

Know Your Buddy – Ritwika Ray

Hailing from the City of Joy I have to be passionate about food.So much so that I worship sweets. Jalebis and Gulab Jamuns need special mention 🙂 Basically I adore junk food. Having said that I am also a health freak and work hard to burn those calories.

I like to try my hands at preparing new dishes. Hope you guys get a taste of my culinary skills soon :)At leisure I like sketching and gardening. Also contribute my bit towards society by actively volunteering for various CSR activities like teaching the under privileged, street cleaning drives etc.

I am quite like Monica from F.R.I.E.N.D.S when it comes to cleanliness 🙂 As a travel enthusiast I love exploring places.Bollywood masala movies interest me.

Here comes a disclaimer..I suffer from Katsaridaphobia which is fear of cockroaches and I go haywire on spotting them.I am sure you guys would get a demo sometime Amusement park rides scare me to death.

Most importantly I love sleeping and can sleep for hours. Wonder how much of a task it would be to stay awake for those assignments

On the professional front I am a B.Tech grad with 4yrs of work ex in TCS and Infosys.

Looking forward to a great time at NMB!!

Know Your Buddy – Dipesh Gupta

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.

This is the way I am living my life till now.

Being a Mathematics student went in the field of Biotechnology (at NIT Durgapur) then I came in the field of IT stayed there for 2 year and 4 month. After doing all these things I didn’t get satisfaction at work and  I felt something was missing in me so I planned to do MBA from a repudiated college to fill the missing gap in me.

Apart from studies at my Graduation college I Participated in Presidential election , which I  lost eventually, but it gave me a everlasting experience. I organized couple of Cultural events during college life. Having lived in all zones of India – North(Home Town), South(Work Place), East(College) and West(Sister’s place) I got a habit of eating\trying new stuffs and exploring news places, covered many places of South India during work life and I would like to explore even more places with new friends.

Looking forward to meet everyone soon.

KNOW YOUR BUDDY- SURBHI MEHTA

Hey, Everyone!

I’m Surbhi, born and brought up in Delhi.

Well, I can end up writing pages describing myself but to keep it short and simple–
I’m a thinking spree, a chatterbox (As all Gemini’s are), a sleepaholic, a foodie and a fun loving person. I love to travel and interact with people because I believe that every person has something new to share and you may never know how it could have a vital impact someday.

I have worked with Infosys for around one and a half years after completing my B.tech(Comp Sc.) from IP university, Delhi.

Now after a gap of two years, Re-living the college days is going to be really exciting.
I look forward to meeting you all and have a wonderful time ahead at Nmims, Bangalore.
