Subject: XL Alumni Mumbai - Lights! Action?
For meeting Bhushan Raina, current President XL Alumni Assoc, just 2 of us turned up eventually; albeit the notice was short, and it was a working day.
1.As a practical first step, it would be very helpful if each of us could add at least 3 xlers we know, to join the amchimumbai group.particularly need help of richard d'souza, akshay soni, aseem gandhi, et al.
madhukar(shukla) would you be able to send us a list of all mumbai alumni, so with their accord one could add their names in the database?
2. Would you be interested in
a) helping to organise a get-together this "winter" in mumbai, preferably before christmas?
b) joining in, if someone organises it all
Would request some youngers xlers to take on the coordination role - i shall certainly chip in with my bit of effort.
Action?

From: Subir Nag
Well, I start with my apologies to Promita for not having posted a mail after our evening with Bushen and his colleagues. Bushen seems to be quite enthu in rejuvenating an otherwise lacklustre alumni association. To start with, he is aranging an event in Jamshedpur, around 20th November, lasting 3 days. I guess Akhtar had posted the details of the same in an earlier mail. He queried if anyone is interested to join the fun.
He also mentioned that Mumbai, perhaps is the least active of the all the chapters. The reasons, we all concluded, are many, like, increased work pressure, long distances to travel, status difference of south mumbai and the rest ("the twain shall never meet" was the opinion of Akshay in one of his mails; albeit in jest, I guess) etc.
however, Promita is very rightly focused on doing something to inject life in the Mumbai chapter, and has suggested two measures in her mail. I notice that out of 196 members, only 36 appear in the database. If we know the details of others, can we put their entry to increase the count?
The picnic is a great idea. I am willing to chip in with my bit, but will require 3-4 others to share the load. Let me know if anyone's game.
Cheers

"Ensemble" in Business Line
From: Allen Ebenezer Eric
Meanwhile, hope you have seen the Business Line Media Partnership for Ensemble - we got two ads of a large size on the prominent page 3 for Ensemble in the National Edition, apart from a link on their site (www.blonnet.com). This was in addition to coverage.
Now, for NITS, Business Standard is the Media Partner. The times have never been so good. Seeing the Business Line ad, the Standard guys got in touch with us, offering a nice deal for NITS... :-) Apparently, their VP is also coming down to XL to meet the batch...

Jai Bacchan! Hail BFAXI.....
After a wild bash at our place on his Budday.... had the most amazing opportunity! Met the man himself: Up, Close and Autographed!
AB is here. Saw him in a 2 hour shoot at the Port Louis Water Front for the movie "Dil Jo Bhi Kahe".
Dressed in a pin-striped suit, total KBC style, he stepped out of Hotel Labourdonnais for his shot. The magical moment of my life..... Amazing, Amazing......the look, the AB style, the AB smile, God Himself! Crowd to watch the shoot: 10 Indians.
It was a dream come true.... he was just 5 feet away during the shoot!!!!! and for 2 hours Swati, Raghav (now inducted into BFAXI-juniors), and I were watching him in his act! After his shot, approached him for an autograph! got two of them for the record....
Got some amazing snaps of him during the shoot.
Will give you the BFAXI link on my website on request!, don't wanna spam kafir's mailboxes with photos.
Contact me on joshibhai@gmail.com
AB is gonna be here for another 2 weeks..... !!! So we are gonna be really busy!
Everything that happens to us had a reason: We now know why we came to Mauritius!
Hail Bacchan!! Hail BFAXI!

to bring forward the latest developments in information technology,
their implications for business and the ways in which businesses can
