Happy New Year
2019
2019 (MMXIX) is the current year, and is a common year starting on Tuesday of the
Gregorian calendar, the 2019th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD)
designations, the 19th year of the 3rd millennium, the 19th year of the 21st century,
and the 10th and last year of the 2010s decade.
New Year is full of blessings of love, joy, warmth, and laughter. It stands before us, like
a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.
The New Year is the perfect occasion to appreciate all the good things that the past
year has given you and all the good things that are yet to come. In past 365 days you
had experienced beautiful moments that wouldn’t have been quite the same without
all of the special people in your life. We at Lexicon MILE, convey our warmest wishes
and take this opportunity to wish our friends, family and all our MILE Messenger
readers, the happiest of New Years. Cheers to successes. Cheers to failures. And
cheers to those that helped you make your year, what it was!

Annual Event - PURPLE FEVER
Royalty || Victory || Infinity
.
Purple Fever Events
Purple is an amethyst, sparkling in a ring. It is the twilight sky, just before the dark. It is
the most powerful wavelength of the rainbow - the color of inspiration and art. A
stimulation of red and the tranquility of blue blend in Purple, a color which tantalizes
one’s senses to win in the game of life. Purple Fever - The prestigious annual management
festival of Lexicon Management Institute for Leadership and Excellence evokes the
meaning of enchantment, enigma, royalty and spirituality.
The annual event was completely organized by the students. Lexicon MILE had given
everyone a golden opportunity to travel back in time and witness the most exuberant era
through this annual fest. The event drew participants not only from Pune but also colleges
from all over India. The event featured a gamut of Cultural and Management events like
Business plan, Dance Battle & Karaoke; Sports and Gaming events like PUBG, Futsal,
Basketball, Box-cricket. The Purple Fever invoked a tireless want for more, an insatiable
thirst for knowledge, wisdom and passion in participants, so that they keep the sparkle of
Purple on their soul and get drenched in its energy.

FUTSAL Futsal is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word Futsal is understood to refer to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears. It’s a sport commonly called Football. We had 18 teams and 12 rounds, out of which the prize went to the best winner. PUBG Tournament Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a 2017 online multiplayer battle Royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean video game company Bluehole. This year, we had Rs. 4000 worth gifts for the winners and we had more than hundred participants for the same, from different colleges. Mr. Aniket and Group won the first prize under ‘Groups’ category and Mr. Joel won the first prize under ‘Individual’ category. “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 5

BOOK FIESTA
‘Reading’ as a habit, is dwindling in our current
Gen Z youth population. Lexicon MILE organizes
the Annual Book Fest, called Lexicon MILE Book
Fiesta, to inculcate and encourage students to
explore the world of books. Annually we
organize two such book fests respectively. One
is an Intra college event wherein students
internally compete with each other. The other is
Inter college event, wherein students from
different colleges compete amongst themselves
to win the coveted Trophy. Participants present
their views on the books they have read to the
panel. Mr. Karan Hemnani (Batch 18-20) for
Intra Fest and Mr. Sandeep Kumar from
Suryadutta Institute respectively, won the first
positions this year.

winners namely Mr. Amol and Mr. Kunal

DANCE Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin. Lexicon MILE grooved to the artistic dance moves of the event participants. “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 9
KARAOKE
Karaoke is a singing competition, in which we had more than 25 participants from various colleges and
different age groups. Music was in the air. The beats and the numbers sent feet tapping and sentiments
soaring high, in the audience. Ms. Aishwarya won the first prize this year.

Mega Event
The 3 day Annual Event of Lexicon MILE Purple Fever, has had the legacy of a banging
finish. After the toil and grind of last one month, students let their hair down and de-stress
themselves to enjoy some good music and dance, as a much deserved and awaited break.
The festival ended with a grant live concert performed by Gajendra Verma, the ‘Ghata’
song fame renowned Bollywood singer of India at Phoenix Marketcity, Pune. Crowds
swayed and danced to the titillating music, through the night hours.

“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 12Purple Fever journey throughout was filled with ups and downs as I got an opportunity to
interact with multiple age groups to conduct the operations. In the
initial stage we began with sponsorships, as our batch was looking for
a big event in Pune with a motive to take Purple Fever along with
Lexicon MILE flag fly high in Pune. As a part of my learning, planning
was a weak factor which affected our event in the future date.
Lexicon MILE Batch 2018-20 put in some tremendous efforts in the
starting stage to pull in participants from the nearby colleges which
also proved to be a good source of income. When the team was on the
field to physically execute strategies, we often faced language barriers
as most of us weren’t familiar with the local tongue. We were able to
tackle this problem by keeping at least one person who knows
the local language. Mr. YashNagvenkar
PGDM Batch 2018-20
Vice President – Student Council
It was a sorrowful moment for us as we could not cope up to
our break-even point in terms of finance. As time passed away,
we were strong enough to identify our mistakes and take away some key learnings from
our mistakes. The efforts shown by the batch to recover and clear off our debts, is a matter
of pride for each one of us, as it will help us learn the realities of practical life outside, the
protection of our Institute and family.
Purple Fever overall was a wonderful experience as it gave us an opportunity to name,
shape and rate our own product (event) by offering to the marketing in order to generate
revenue against it, which is practiced by leading companies in the world today.
Management functions like Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Controlling and Coordinating
were implemented practically in the form of Live Business Project. Some of the key
learnings from our mistakes from this experience are:
1. Effective Business & Financial Planning leads to successful results
2. Time Management in crucial
3. Team spirit and its co-ordination is the key for success
4. Negotiation for Cost Management
5. Believe in Yourself
“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 13EXAMINATIONS TRI-2
“ 80% of the exam is always based on 1 lecture that you may have missed and 1
topic that you didn't prepare ;) ”
This was the feeling experienced by each one of us after a 13 day long subjective exams,
which lasted long for 2 weeks. The Library sees the maximum attendance only in this part
of the year. With Library full of students, students roaming with books all around the
premises, might have pleased our faculty with a sense that, "students are studying hard
for exams at least ;)"
Whatever may be the pressure, we
always prepare at the last moment.
Such times teach us students
important lessons of ‘persistence’
‘patience’ ‘self courage’ and its indeed
an interesting view to see the
‘studious’ student faces all wreath
with fatigue and dark eye circles.
Examinations at Lexicon MILE is an
opportunity to assess the student’s
capability to apply all those
Management theories learnt during
classrooms to actual work situations
and live cases. It is a way to test the
knowledge of the students and ensure
that all the knowledge exchange that
has happened during regular classes
and academic sessions have been well
absorbed by all the students.
Late night readings, bugging friends to explain concepts, chasing the book worms of the
class for notes, to last minute mugging, hunting down faculty at the last moment for study
materials etc. we do that all at Lexicon MILE during our examinations and come out
putting our fingers crossed towards a grand performance and victory.
“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 14Republic Day Mahatma Gandhi, once quoted: “A Nation’s Culture resides in the Hearts and in the Soul of its People” "India celebrated its 70th Republic Day with Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, the fifth and current President of South Africa, being the Chief Guest of the ceremony, at Delhi." Republic Day celebrations at Lexicon - Students of Lexicon School always strive to give their best and grab any opportunities wherein they can showcase patriotism and respect, towards the nation in the form of art, through their unique performances during republic day celebrations. This year too, they did it in beautiful way, mesmerizing the crowd with their wonderful performances. Along with Lexicon Kids, Lexicon MILE students also contributed through a group dance and created moments to remember this 70th Republic Day. Why do we celebrate Republic Day? We got Independence on August 15, 1947 then why do we celebrate Republic Day so late after 2 years, 11 months and 18 days? This is because during the period between 1947 and 1950, without the Constitution, India was headed by King George VI. But on the first Republic Day, Dr. Rajendra Prasad became our first President. It was also on this day in 1950, that the Declaration of Independence from the British rule was made. Thus we celebrate Republic Day.

“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 16Lohri Festival
The history of Lohri dates back to the story of Indus Valley civilization. Though there are
different stories related to the origin of Lohri, it is mainly celebrated as a harvest festival.
The festival is celebrated to mark the end of winter and the upcoming spring. Bonfires are
lit, traditional songs and dances accompany the fire in the evening. Lohri is celebrated
basically in Punjab, but can be seen in Haryana, Delhi and parts of Himachal Pradesh as
well. This North-Indian festival coincides with Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Makar Sankranti in
Bengal and Gujarat, Sankrant in Maharashtra, MaghaBihu in Assam and Tai Pongal in
Kerala. There is an interesting cultural history behind this fun-filled festival. To know
more on the history of Lohri, read the article further.
History of Lohri Festival:-
Various interesting socio-cultural fables and folk legends are associated with Lohri. The
cultural history of this festival centers about a Rajput tribe called Bhatti, during the reign
of Akbar, in the inhabited parts of Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat. Raja of PindiBhattian,
Dulla Bhatti, was sentenced to death by the Mughal king for revolting against him. The
history of the tribe is traced, by the tribal Mirasis (street singers), who claim that
Maharaja Ranjit Singh, was one of their scions.
Dulla Bhatti was a Punjabi version of Robin Hood, who used to rob the rich and help the
poor. He was loved and respected by the tribal people. It is also said that he once rescued a
girl from the kidnappers, after which he adopted her, as his daughter. This hero is
remembered every year on this festival. On the occasion, children in groups move from
door to door, and sing the Dulla Bhatti song:
Dulla Bhatti ho! Dulle ne dhiviyahi ho!Ser shaker pai ho!
(Meaning…..Dulla gave his daughter a kilo of sugar as a marriage gift).
“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 17A festival dedicated to fire and the Sun God, Lohri is the time when the sun transits the zodiac sign Makar (Capricorn) and starts moving towards the north. This is referred to as the sun becoming Uttarayan in astrological terms. The new arrangement is believed to lessen the ferocity of winter and bring warmth to earth. The festival is observed to ward off the biting cold of the month of January by lighting bonfires, dancing around it in a mood of bonhomie. One can correlate fire with the concept of life and health. It is a symbol of transformation and regeneration. Fire is related with rays of light on one hand and with gold on the other hand, since it is the representative of the sun. People believe that the fire is capable of stimulating the growth of cornfields and the well-being of man and animals. Lohri fire gets sanctified and venerated like a deity; reason being it is an image of energy and spiritual strength. People offer peanuts, popcorn and sweets like tilladoo, chirva, gajak and gajak to the fire to proliferate it as a symbol of the Sun God. “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 18

PM Modi makes it clear that Ordinance on Ram Temple can be considered only
after legal process gets over
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on Tuesday made it
clear that any decision on
bringing an Ordinance on
Ram temple can be
considered only after the
judicial process gets over.
In an interview, he also
suggested that the
judicial process was
being slowed down
because Congress
lawyers were creating
obstacles in the Supreme
Prime Minister: Narendra Modi Court.
"We have said in our BJP
manifesto, that a solution would be found to this issue under the ambit of the
Constitution," the Prime Minister said about the Ram temple matter, when asked whether
the Ram Mandir issue had been relegated as merely an emotive issue for the BJP.
“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 19The BJP, as articulated in its manifesto, wants building of a majestic Ram temple in Ayodhya. Recently, there has been a renewed pitch within the party as well as by its sister organisations in the Sangh Parivar, for expediting the process of construction of the temple. The Sangh Parivar organisations have expressed unhappiness over the delay in resolving the matter and there are demands for promulgating an Ordinance, similar to the one issued on Triple Talaq, to facilitate construction of a temple. The demand for Ordinance has been articulated even by BJP's ally, the Shiv Sena. Asked whether the government could consider issuing an Ordinance on Ram temple, the Prime Minister pointed out that the matter is before the Supreme Court and possibly in the final stages. "Let the judicial process be over. After the judicial process is over, whatever will be our responsibility as the government, we are ready to make all efforts," he added. The matter was slated to be heard by the Supreme Court on January 4. Petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court for day-to-day hearing in the case. The Prime Minister was asked why an Ordinance cannot be promulgated to facilitate Ram temple construction when a similar step was taken to ban instant Triple Talaq. In response, Modi said, "the Triple Talaq ordinance was brought after the Supreme Court verdict, in the light of Supreme Court verdict." He was referring to the Supreme Court's ruling in 2017, banning the practice of Triple Talaq among the Muslims. Subsequently, the government issued an Ordinance and brought a bill in Parliament "Nobody can deny that those sitting in the governments in the last 70 years have tried their best to stall a solution to this (Ayodhya) issue," Modi said. Targeting the Congress. He said it should "not create obstacles" and should let the judicial process to take its own course. "Don't weigh it in political terms," Modi said, addressing the Congress. "I beseech the Congress, for the sake of national peace and amity, they should stop its lawyers from stalling this issue in the court," he added. The Prime Minister said all lawyers, including the Congress ones, should jointly head to the court and ensure that there is an early judicial verdict. “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 20

Gadgets have become an inseparable part of our life, with this we bring to you some gadgets that have been in the market last month and are performing exceptionally well. 1. HONOR VIEW 20 The Honor View 20 is one of the first flagship phones of 2019 and it starts the year off with quite a show. A 48MP camera, 256GB of storage and a punch whole display mean this isn't the kind of phone we normally expect from Honor. The smartphone is powered by Huawei's top-of-the line HI Silicon Kirin 980 processor, paired with 6GB of RAM. The Kirin 980 chipset has two Neural Processing Units, which facilitate AI computations on the device itself. Honor claims on-device AI is not only faster than cloud based solutions, but is also more secure. EMUI has made way for what Honor is calling Magic UI 2.0 (based on Android 9.0 Pie). Along with a new coat of paint, Honor has finally simplified its settings menu and reduced the amount of gestures and custom features. 2. DSON PURE COOL Dyson Pure Cool Link design Dyson's air purifiers look classy and expensive. The blue and grey model we tested is especially attention-grabbing. There are two variants - Desk and Tower. The Desk model has a smaller circular loop, while the Tower model has an elongated ellipse instead, and is meant to stand on the floor. Dyson Pure Cool Link features in terms of features, the Dyson Pure Cool Link has pretty much what you'd expect from a high-end air purifier right now. The three parts of its name all refer to its capabilities and they are:- 'Pure' is of course for air purification, and as stated above, the device includes a 'Glass-HEPA' filter which is supposed to remove up to 99.95 percent suspended particles such as PM2.5 and PM10 particles - all the way down to PM 0.1 particles. Useful features include an Auto mode that adjusts the intensity of the purifier to the detected pollution level; a sleep timer; and a Night mode, which dims the display and lowers fan speed to reduce noise. “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 22
Life Changing Experience
Life is a journey and it’s on all living beings to experience, its good and bad days. In this
column, we share those special times wherein life stopped still for a few moments, to convey a
message to you, then be it bad or good. This time in this column, we feature the experience of
Mr. Chandrakant Singh, who has recently experienced one such change in his life.
My life has seen one of the major changes ever. I am a father now. Life has probably given me one of the best
gifts ever – a son. He is my part, my shadow, my fraction, my branch, my segment; he belongs to me and thus it
made a lot of sense to name him “Ansh” which again means
chunk, piece, and module. Yes he belongs to me, he is my son.
It has been a life changing experience ever since he was born.
Want to live see him smile, cuddle and grow. Grow to become
whatever I cannot, whatever I desired for myself and now
desire for him. If he is laughing, the joy I experience as a father,
can outweigh any sacrifice I need to make, to be a great dad. As
a dad who makes a promise of sacrifice for his family have
found very quickly, that while I miss the things I used to have
or do, I doesn't miss them quite as much as I thought. They no
more hold any value, what values to me is my son, my family.
My dad in his childhood would walk barefooted, kilometers
and kilometers for his school. When I was born, he made sure I
had a school bus. His clothes would never become old but he
made sure I had new ones on all the festivals and on my
birthdays. By no means, had he ever made life simple for me.
There was this constant push always to become a better
version of what I was and how he wanted to see me grow. I
would want to repeat the same with my son too. Though I’ll
make sure that he gets everything needed and actually
Mr. Chandrakant Singh required, at the same time would push him hard to become a
Manager – Corporate Interface person of self-belief, a person with values and principles too. By
no means, would I be making his life simpler, as I, for sure know
his struggles would be a great learning ground for him.
He has just changed the perception of mine towards life. Now, I no more want anything for myself. All I want is
for him and him to be at the receiving end, of all the goodness which this entire universe can present it to him.
Wanting the world for him, not sure how much of it would I actually be able to make it happen for him but one
thing which is a given – he would always be happy, proud and appreciative of getting a great dad. He changed
my life, my dreams. It’s more to do with his life and his dreams which someday he would see growing up. He is
that happening which has changed my life and all for good reasons. He is my reason for existence on this
earth, he is my Ansh…!!
“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 23WORDS OF WISDOM
Digital Marketing and Bhagavad Gita
Sounds interesting; Isn’t it? Bhagavad Gita is the holy book of
Hindus and it has included every aspect of life, which teaches us
how to live life. With the teachings of Lord Krishna, one can learn
the art of living.
Today, in this modern world where we are constantly busy in
making money; we have forgotten these principles and virtues and
have learnt to behave the way people behave with us; we have
forgotten ourselves, our own nature, because we are involved
deeply in taking revenges.
Ms. Saumya Mishra
The same Bhagavad Gita is now used to teach digital marketing. Admission Department
Surprised! Shocked! You might be.
So, Let’s Begin:
Generally, when it comes to digital marketing; we are messed up with things like
Backlinks, black hat, increasing likes and using several tools to spin content. But, with
these quotes; we are sure to know digital marketing in proper manner:
Quote 1: There are people who wish others to shape their view and then there are those
who see the world from their own view point. The former one is the result of ignorance
that is generated due to inertia and the later one is due to control which generates out of
fear.
When you are able to see the world from other’s view point, then it is called pure wisdom
which is generated out of empathy.
How does this quote apply to Digital Marketing:
When you write the content, it must showcase the difficulties, pain points of the
customers, content should reveal what customers feel. We all keep on saying “Content is
King” but no one knows the exact way of creating this King.
“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 24In order to achieve quality, use Pain, sufferings of customers to write the content. Content creation needs maximum resources. An easy way to write content is known what exactly Empathy means: To observe or see things from customer’s point of view. It is advisable to first identify the targeted customer and then keeping in mind that customer write the content. This empathy, kindness and focus can only be achieved when you are clear with the objective. Quote 2: We believe outcomes must match expectations. This is because we want to control situation and when this doesn’t happen; we become angry; upset, unhappy and frightened. But we don’t show actions because outcome is uncontrollable and hence we withdraw with patience to showcase our helplessness. How does this quote applies to Digital Marketing: If you opt for paid marketing then you need patience and guts. Accept Failure. The main drawback of any digital marketer is the fear of losing control over the ideas. Many of the brilliant campaigns are put to an end when results don’t come as expected. The quote describes the behavior of an entrepreneur when he expects any outcome from a paid campaign and it is not as per his expectations then he/she becomes angry, upset, unhappy and frightened. In order to tackle this; always measure the unexpected outcomes and then face them strongly without avoiding them. “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 25
Alumni Corner
The MILE journey has been an unmatched experience let
alone being unbeatable. They say, "The more you sweat in
peace the less you bleed in war". MILE has prepared us for
similar war, called ‘Corporate World’, and MILE is one
instance where sweating in peace was actually fun. Commonly
quoted attributes would be case studies, late night meetings,
out bound activities, induction but, MILE goes much more
beyond that as an experience, which cannot be penned down.
The academic experience with good infrastructure and
excellent faculty at MILE has endured me with a life-long
career excellence, the exceptional programs and teaching
methodologies backed by practical skills and industry
interface have given me the confidence to pursue my career
Mr. Akshit Jain ahead I am indebted to LEXICON MILE for not just my job but
PGDM Batch 2011-13 shaping me to the person that I’m today, when I look back I see
that I have come so far but, what I got from this place is a vision
to look ahead and realize how much more I have to go, and also how I need to go about that.

2018 has already been a great year in the history of
digital marketing. User-generated content and influencer
strategies are still among 2018’s most popular digital
marketing trends. Marketing has evolved, human
behavior has changed, and marketers should keep up.
Let’s look briefly at what the year 2018 has brought to
the marketing industry: The huge shift in mobile, forcing
brands and companies to meet the growing consumerism
demand changed the way consumers look at the
marketing platforms. The short and long formatted
videos are everything and everywhere. You don’t need to
Mr. Abhishek Dhiman
Batch 2016-18 be a big budget company to shoot some videos because
lately, content writing is not enough to stay at the game.
‘Visual Impact’ is important more than ever.

“Can’t See Harley in You Boy, I want to see it in your eyes”.
Imagine when you struggle for four days to crack the
interview, aiming to probably study everything what an
engineer must have studied in his four years of Engg, and you
end up hearing this from Harley-Davidson Pune, Business
Head. Trust me, at this time my pre-frontal cortex whispered
Rajas “Game Over”. Then suddenly the Boss announces, “Two
Days Rajas, two days is what I give you”.
Now that is what happened to me and that is what happens
to most of us who are attending X company’s Interview,
Gone are the days when people recruit you because the
candidate has his/her hands on Microsoft Excel. Now are the
days where companies recruit you because you know to play
a guitar predominantly. (Maybe they are hoping we keep
Mr. Rajas Lawande them entertained at office parties too....)
Batch 2017-19
Bringing you back…By now I knew what my Business Head
wanted, Mr. Chaudhary wanted Efforts not Qualification. I gave him a fabulous PPT, a chart
which reflected Harley-Davidson Riders Statements and a Video which played interviews
of Pune Harley-Riders on streets.
This got me in the game but what really struck positive in my candidature in the Company
was the career objective stated in my resume. It read “Grip of the Knife is Marketing;
Blade of the Knife is Sales and my Intent is Sharp Enough”
This taught me that you never know what a recruiter likes about you, as a Recruiter
never looks for the Best candidate but looks for the Right Candidate. I always wonder
why he recruited me over all the other engineers. Soon I realized he did, because I came
with a clean slate. He is sure that whatever he writes subsequently, will create a biking
world for me.

“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 27The journey started right back from 2nd July, 2017 and it was the first part of my PGDM course in Lexicon MILE, the Induction program. From Induction to the last part of Placements, the journey has been very exciting and energetic. Placements in Lexicon MILE, has always been great. The last two months were not so easy for me, but patience and hard work never goes in vain. I am recently placed with Allstate Solutions Private Limited. I am really thankful to the entire Placement team of MILE for giving me the best of Mr. Anindo Saha opportunities. I would always try my best to keep the Batch 2017-19 Lexicon MILE flag flying high.

“LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 29Hostel Memories I still remember the day when I came in the hostel, the very first day. My name was mis placed and wasn't on the list of students and hence my room wasn't allotted. There is an old belief: ‘Things happen for a reason.’ I was allotted room S01 where I met Shivashish Agal. The bed allotment again was a confusion but his level of understanding was great. Then we started clicking off on different levels. Later on met his best friend Vinisha Mandhanya. We went on to become good friends and the rest is history. During induction I was introduced to Vaibhav Badoni and Yashraj Pandey, who later on turned out to be our Assignment partners. The four of us used to sit through and do assignments together and my hostel life got a spark of bond. However, there was another story on the background, of the Room T03. This was the den for all kinds of gossips, arguments, dance, music and all those things that added flavor to a single boy’s life in a hostel. I got to meet Akshay Bhan, Nitin Choudhary, Yash Nagvenkar, Rajan Jha who joined in along Pandey and Badoni. Within no time we grew stronger and I was really happy to have this bunch of the best people around me. Roshan, Sachin and Jitesh joined in the group and made it stronger. Through various friendships I met others Ria, Nidhi, Jovicia, Swechha, Nitya and many others. Life at Boys hostel led to so many things in Lexicon MILE. We lived through many ups and downs but still, these memories made worth it. Today, I can't imagine how things would have been, if at first I would have missed out, on meeting these wonderful buddies. They stay, it’s strange how you find things but when you do it, it is for the best. These memories will always stay and cherished over the years. That’s me Amrut, in the pink T-shirt along with my room buddies, Badoni and Pandey. “Dosti Ki Qeemat Kuch Ho Sakti Nahi. Dosti Se Khoobsurat Koi Cheez Ho Sakti Nahi. Log Kehte Yeh Dosti Ek Kacchhe Dhage Ki Tarah Hain. Par Unn Logon Ko Kaun Bataye, Iss Kache Dhage Se Majboot, Koi Janjeer Ho Sakti Nahi.” -Amrut Chandorkar Batch 2018-20 “LEADERS MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO RELATE TO OTHERS, BUT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD TO MOTIVATE THEM.” 30
