See You in Jamshedpur on 19-20 Nov 2005

XLRI, my alma mater is having a Homecoming party. Got to be there. Here’s an opportunity for me to relive my days there – complete with chai and adda at Dadu’s Dhaba and VOLUNTARILY eat the Mess food served by Basanto.Meanwhile here is a mail from Amartya Banerjee – not SenRead your book.And i think its grt. i could myself relate a lot with the book because of two reasons.Firstly because i am an ex hindu college hence memories of delhi uni, and north campus came back flooding. and secondly becoz i teach in a B school in kolkata so the potrayal is next to original.i teach media and communication management at the International School of Business and media(ISB&M).lthough i have never been to a B school myself but have done a professional course in Media hence well acquainted with the life style.Its a grt book and infact its a grt book to be made in to a film.Have you thought about it?Hope to read more from you in the near future. How about one outlining your corporate experiences??RegardsAmartya BanerjeeProf Amartya BanerjeeChairperson-Admissions Professor-Media& Communication Management International School Of Business & Media (PUNE/KOLKATA/DELHI/BANGALORE)IB-163 Sector 3 Salt Lake CityKolkata, India
