Amidst Water, Mountains, Temples, Friends and Dreams -Part 2

Since it was not only a fun trip, we had to accomodate the other planned activities for FDS. So our next stop was at Bhopal to meet some Profs at our alma mater and others. Though we had planned to spend only a couple of hours and then return to Jabalpur, but once you are in the campus (and it is not any campus, it is the beautiful IIFM Campus, everypart of this campus reminds me of the wonderful time I had here. Sheer Bliss.)

We spent considerable time, dicsussing many things with Profs, sharing the our concerns about IIFM, talking to juniors and and the visit was earlier planned as 3-4 visits became a two day visit to IIFM. It was nice to know some welcome changes at IIFM.  

We explored Bhopal for some shopping malls, so that we can buy wedding gifts for one of our batchmate, unfortunately (or fortunately?) Bhopal seems yet to get its share of shopping malls. We could not find any shopping malls in Bhopal. Finally we decided to gift ‘Gift Coupons’ and managed to get them from ‘Raymonds’ and ‘Fab India’. It seems that our batch has created some kind of record as there were as many as 8-10 batchmates (8-10 batchmates, 6-7 marriages) got married within a span of 2 months.

By the way, while I was late in updating my blog, Akhand updated his blog about our Jabalpur trip. Though the way I have been described there, I could only imagine to be like that.
