And yes, one lesson from Vivek is that the important thing is to do well in whatever area interests us.

Maybe the guys don't know their options... They should see that real success lies not in being a part of the crowd.....I remember there were so many scoffers when Vivek chose his career...I presume his success will at least seal any such lips this time round....

Prinicpal. After all smart looking students are best representatives of the school.

Please try 2 get more such success stories. i'm sure it'll make an interesting reading especially cos its written in such an elegant manner. a classmate of mine, Siddarth A, is presently at NIFT, Delhi. so i guess Vivek chettan has his followers in Loyola. Its a bit sad that none of the present generation of Loyolites know about such pioneers and stalwarts. Might i suggest that you contact somebody at school and try to get your blogs put up on the notice board. DP would have been the best person but then sadly thats not possible anymore. I don't know if you remember me but i've talked to you many times. I am Prasanth's friend. ok then, thanks for the great reading hello Ashok chetta, its great 2 hear abt so many Loyolites succesful in defferent fields.

Such hypotheses on social history of Loyola spurred me to start this blog. Jiby, armed with your comment on loyolamod (the group of moderators), I will exhort the e-group. Thanks!

He followed his heart and his passion and when the news of his big break reached us it really inspired many of us to renew our own personal resolves on excellence in the fields we chose to make a career. Ashok, i have heard you have a mailing list of loyola moderators of various batches. There might be many loyolites who are doing great work, that we of other batches dont know of. I am sure these moderators can feed you with more success stories like Vivek's. Good Work!

Though from the late 1970 batches we've had some really creative people, I think it is the Loyolites of the late 1990s who really started breaking with the grand BTech-MBBS tradition that Loyola had. Vivek seems to be one of the most high profile examples. This is indeed good news for the current crop of Loyolites as they now have shining examples of excellence in non-typical "post-Loyola route" fields to look up to. Thanks for highlighting Vivek's case. Wow!
