Chirag is OUT!

Ah!!!! 365 runs still to make, and our star batsman Chirag Jain is back to pavilion... I and Prashant Gawai are still fighting, but he is a bowler... So, my eyes are seeing a lot of expecations from me in other's eyes. 1 run per day required, but that also is too much. Coach is gone...

From the very first day in my second year till today, there have been innumerous incidents when I sought his guidance. An ideal senior always ready to help others, he has been a mentor, guide, friend, senior and what not! IITs have two kinds of people in bulk. One brand comprises of people storming acads, MUGGOO, and Second is at the other end of academics, HUGGOO.... There is this endangered species which balances between the two, STUDD. Being a part of winning PAF (Performing Arts Festival), dramatics events, a Mandolin-player, various scripts to his hand, an enthusiastic trekker, and a CPI (Cumulative Performance Index) of more than 8.8, He was the leader of this brand... I had the honour of being the first one to hear his "Shayari" many-a-times, most of them simply superb.

With the person like him leaving institute, There was no doubt why lots of people were present (around 20 including 3-4 girls, Mind you this is a huge number... All males who have passed their adulthood in IITs will wonder at this charismatic personality, and get what I am saying. (I am also starting Shayari now, considering it as reason of female crowd.) The scene was different, but script was of last part of marriage, when bride leaves parents' place. Chirag played the role of bride very efficiently, while all others (including me!!) were bidding him goodbye with a heavy heart. Though I'll be in touch with him, IIT Bombay campus surely has lost a gem of person. No-one can ever replace him.

Warm Wishes for your future, Chirag
A small tribute to all-great memories of four year stay with you.
