A month of Firsts

Leaving home, staying in a hostel for the first time, introducing myself to 120 new faces in two days, eating the mess food every day, attending committee presentations after the clock had moved past 12 AM, sleeping at 4 AM only to wake up at 8 again to take a quiz!! So many firsts in such a short span of time! On a serious note, coming to XIMB has meant learning so many new things that it amazes me on daily basis till today.

Let the Presentations Begin

"Ohh!! It’s already 10:55, 5 minutes more for the presentation to start!!", exclaimed a fellow juni, rushing for the 'night-classes'. Yes, the 'inter-actions' were finished and the committee presentations had started.

Feedback for X-Post Sanidhya Spl Edition

Excellent job!
Chandrahas Panigrahi (Batch of 2000)
 
Very well thought through & nice write ups. The template selected was very unique & innovative.

Just like that

The train was running while I was sleeping,
Campus was nearing while I was dreaming,
Entered into campus and life turned around,
There is so much to learn only then I found,
Shouting at campus in interactions night long,
Where every other senior would prove you wrong,
And then... they laughed and made us laugh,
With Rollywood night, JLT and all that stuff,

A Hearty Welcome to our new Faculty Members
