\"Swag...!!! How are things ?? :P. Chalo ab tumhari thodi tareef kar doon. This girl here is onehell of a gem , like one of the best persons i've come across in my life. Sweet, considerate, car-ing and a great friend to have. I still remember all the times we went out and the fun we had inour 1st year. 2nd year se to tum busy ho gyi :P. Anyways wish you be successful in all your en-deavors and may you always be such an amazing person that you are now.PS: Shaadi mein bulana mat bhulna. :P\"-- Tirtharaj Dasgupta\"As I entered the gates of XIMB for the very first time, I knew I had a first kind of senior, whowould always be there for me advising me on the right things and making me feel at home. Alt-hough knowing her before landing up at XIMB, this was a beautiful experience of being men-tored by the one who is close to me. She is one of those who knows me better than myself andwill go out of her way to extend any help possible. Always wearing a calm and composed atti-tude irrespective of what the situation be, she would know how to make me happy when cir-cumstances or results were against me.Having shared many happy moments and with the hope to share many more moments of joyand laughter with you, I feel both lucky and fortunate to have found a mentor and companionlike you. Wishing You all the best for your future and want to see you reaching great heights,perhaps together!!!\"-- Basudev Basak

Remember thosenights when we would be so scared to go fill water at 3am that we would hold hands to walk upto the dispenser? And then the ‘nasheela saag’ that we all consumed one afternoon at mess andslept like a log till night. You have left juniors awestruck with your beautifully organised room,made me faint every time you opened your door, scandalized the entire corridor with the minimountain outside your door, used a dysfunctional phone keypad an entire year, sent “chapo”messages every night before dinner, chatted with me on gtalk living right opposite my door,made me indulge in impulsive shopping - I have seen it all. Your craziness for food to the ex-tent of gluttony has often made me wonder what you were made of. I still wonder how youmanaged to ask for pizza after having the steak and starter an hour back. I can't imagine howyou will run a household in a few years when you are such a child yourself. But your positivity,childlike personality, over the top crazy and excited person that you are makes you stand outfrom everyone else. Stay the same always. You'll always be my baby.-- Upasana SamaddarWe became friends over food. And more of food. Coz our life revolves around food, laziness,wedding plans, travel plans, horror movies and related unnecessary drama and some weird im-aginary stuff on torturing the people we disliked. Jokes apart, this girl has been my true com-panion during the final placements(the toughest time during the 2 years). I still remember howshe waited all day long for me during a process even though she just had to tank and had gotdone with it early, all because she wanted to hear from me that day that I made it finally! Eve-rytime I was tensed she held my hand and said \"everything is going to be fine and this time weboth need to get through this company\". I remember how we \"critically analysed\" before eve-ry process \"iska kya karna hai\". I have never seen someone so delighted when they eat. She issuch a capsule of craziness, that made even my toughest times full of fun. There are innumer-ous memories that we have made in such a short time, so much so that I actually lost my chainof thoughts trying to recollect and jot down all of them. She is one person who knows hows tobe happy for others just as herself. I still cant believe that I stumbled upon such a wonderfulfriend and human being just when mba was nearing its end. Am so glad that she played suchan important role in the happiest 6 months of my mba career(which i otherwise thought wasn'tpossible bcoz of a few morons). am going to carry ahead not only your friendship but also thelife lessons I got from you. You will always be the yummy dessert of my horrible five coursemeal(you know what I mean!).--Samayita Nandi
