Dear Batchmates,
February is a really good month for the Nil alumni. For starters, Mohit Mittal is celebrating his birthday. He and Shveta are also celebrating their anniversary later this month. As I remarked to him at the time of his wedding, his “B-Day” and his “D-Day” are equidistant from “V-Day” on opposite sides. Talking of V-Day, do have a good Valentine’s Day!
Back to the announcements, another Nilgirite (sort of) Rajas Nanda is celebrating his birthday on 17th February. So, Happy Birthday to both Mohit and Rajas!
Vijay Amrit Raj Sharma and Vandana are celebrating their anniversay on 2nd February. And Dinakar and Amulya are celebrating theirs on 10th February. Happy anniversary to Vijay + Vandana, Dinakar + Amulya and Mohit + Shveta!
Now for the BIG announcement of this month… As you would expect, this too is from a Nilgirite. Sulabh Agarwal is getting married to the very charming Rutu Bole at the end of this month in Bhopal. Rutu works for Deloitte Consulting in Pittsburgh in the Enterprise Risk Services area. Our best wishes to both of you!
As a few closing remarks, please note:
Ciao.
Vaibhav & Tantan.
Wish you all a very Happy New Year! Let’s hope that the new year will bring some cheer to the market, among other things.
A couple of important things first:
Congratulations to the following for getting a year older…
… And to the following for their anniversaries
Again, if your anniversary or a family member’s birthday is missing from the list above or is incorrect, it is not because we don’t like you – it is only because we don’t have the information. So for any missing birthdays (of family members) and anniversaries, please send me (Tantan) a note.
Happy New Year again!
Vaibhav & Tantan
Hope folks in the US had a good Thanksgiving weekend. Most of my (Tantan’s) wingmates from Nil landed up in Vegas for a reunion and had a blast. Of course, fortunes in the casinos fluctuated wildly from the disastrous to the most impressive, ensuring that the house always won – the casino in some cases and Nilgiri in the others.
We are all getting older and the following people have crossed another milestone. Happy Birthday to you!
Congratulations to all of the following on adding another year of domestic bliss:
If we have missed out any birthdays or anniversaries, it is because you have been too shy or lazy and haven’t told us. So please send the missing dates across.
We pray that none of your near and dear ones was impacted in the Mumbai terror attacks. It was quite depressing to watch the carnage and we hope that India becomes more proactive in taking effective security measures in the future.
Ciao.
Vaibhav & Tantan.
Belated Diwali wishes to all of you!
We are resuming the monthly wishes email again. We know that almost half the month is up and that some of you have already had your B’Days, but anyway…
Obviously the big news of the month is the upcoming wedding of Kumar Gautam and Guncha. Here’s wishing both of you a fun-filled and scandalous life ahead!
Most of us have already stepped into our 30s or will be doing so pretty soon. Here’s welcoming all of you to old age and doses of “30+”! At least now you don’t have to worry about falling / greying hair and bulging paunches.
Married brethren, here’s wishing you a happy anniversary!
Between August and now there have been several new unannounced A-list additions to the BTech96 family. The additions are A-list because all their names start with “A”, to the best of our knowledge. We urge you to share your happiness with the rest of us along with photos, if possible!
This weekend is Diwali Dhamaka in the Bay Area. Folks over here: do try and attend! IIT-D isn’t participating this year, but an occasion to meet should never be passed up.
Ciao.
Tantan and Vaibhav.
