Aventurine

Aventurine is a platform for every dancer to portray his or her talent. The name aventurine stands for a stone of confidence and tranquility. This name was chosen as it spreads positive energy which is very important for every individual. I have been a part of ‘black’ for a year and I surely learnt a lot from them in terms of dancing, fun and being a winner. With a new year more dancers started flowing in at IILM. We soon felt the need of forming a new dance group. With the support of our teachers and friends we were able to make this successful. After auditioning several students we shortlisted the ones we saw are good dancers.

Now our group comprises of ten dancers (Ankur, Manan, Hardik, Devraj, Adhiraj, Shristee, Simran, Jasmine, Chandini and Sunakshi). We are well aware of the competition we will be facing and will put our best foot forward. I am very convinced that the immense of hard work and dedication by all of us will not go waste. Our choreographer has very innovative ideas which will add to our very unique performance. The colors that will represent our group are white and green.

After a lot of quarrel, fun and proving ourselves we have formed Aventurine. I hope that we all meet everyone’s expectations and perform to the best of our abilities. I wish best of luck to everybody and hope that you all practice with sincerity and make our college, faculty, friends and me proud. I hope that we all support each other throughout our Aventurine journey and accept victory or loss with pride keeping in mind that we will never back out. I request everyone to encourage the Aventurines and look forward to our first performance on the 17^th of September 2009.

A new beginning

Life is all about moving on. Another academic year has begun and all of us at IILM have already tightened our seat belts and are looking forward to having another fun- filled year ahead!!! After a good long gap of three months we have all returned to start afresh with the good old routine of having to go to college. But then is there something new that I am writing about??? What is it that makes IILM??? Of all the things why an article on starting afresh??? Well, how many of you have heard about starting the year in college with Bridge Courses (foundation/ certificate courses, for those who did not know) which would go on for a month? IILM offers all its students to choose from a variety of value added courses in the form of workshops which have been designed and formulated in such a way that would suit the requirements of the ever- demanding employers of today and tomorrow. Apart from pursuing an Honours degree these certificates would only make our CVs look even more attractive and I guess a little more bulky (if I may say so)!!! We have been offered with an array of options to choose from. We have workshops like Review of Lives of Business Personalities, Stock Market, Cross Cultural Management, Stress Management and Business Strategy to name a few ( for those of you who were wondering that am going to reveal the entire list, you are sadly mistaken)!!! The demand for such workshops is very high in the corporate world so having given such a facility at college level is like, “What more could you have asked for??”!!! And here comes the best part, one month of total fun for everybody and a very good chance for the new comers to settle down and adjust to a new system!!! Would just like to conclude this article by saying that it is a nice and unique way of starting anew, which is a rare thing to find in most of the institutes even today........... Guess it is enough for now........!!!!!! Your feedback is always welcome and awaited!!!!

Batch 2007-2010

Hey all…

Well today I am gonna introduce u to my class mates via the people who completes my college life…

Sara(me) à when I entered iilm I was excited, nervous, scared, happy etc etc… in totality I had like 10000 things going up and down my brain , but only thing which was constant was the light and the feeling that said… ‘sara the new world is just a step ahead, step forward with a new confidence , make new friends, live and excavate a new me within you’…

When I opened the door I had like 30 eyes on me… I became very scared and nervous… all the feeling of doing wrong things came in my head but somehow I tend to make good friends…

At this moment when I think about my first day I laugh at my self… one thing I can say is that iilm have given me good friends . some are intelligent , some are dumb , some are mad, some are pretentious , some are ambitious , some are opportunist but THEY ARE MY FRIENDS , they complete my journey of graduation….. I love u all guys…. Mwhaaa …. I really do…

Ankita Walliaà what to say about this gurl… she is my best friend , my guide and yes the most hardworking gurl in town…. I never gelled with her the first day , I thought she had like this oodles and oodles of attitude problem .. the funny part is, she thought the same about me.. but now, I know her and she knows me .. we share great bond together.. and I know we will be friends for lifetime…

Chandni Rajuà we have this great bond of trust and understanding.. some people say that birds of same feather flock together , well that’s not the case with us.. she is like typical ‘sweet gurl next door’ and I am totally this ‘blunt and bindass gurl’ …I somehow laugh on our combination cause seriously its odd one out but the good part is we both trust each other completely ..

Nishant sondhi à one of the most ambitious person I have come across (in +ve sense).. somehow when ever I talk to him I feel so proud of him… his goal , his picture of reality is so clear in front of him.. whenever I am in some sort of emotional trap I call him up and give my self a reality check.. I know and I wish that he gets everything in life wateva he wish for.. god bless!!!

Srishti Bhasin à we have this great love hate relationship.. people think that we hate each other but guys that’s really not the truth.. she is one gem of a person, if u get to know her u gonna love each side oh ‘Srishti Bhasin’ .. really …. Her dancing skill and confidence level is to die for.. great going gurl wish u all the luck in this world…

Karan anand à one kid of our class.. I seriously thing he is the cutest person in our class… he would always manage to get in some or the other trouble…but he is so innocent that people try to take undue advantage of him.. I wish he grows up in life and settle down asap.. but I really wish all the best to him because he doesn’t know his brain is so good in terms of creativity and captivity .. way to go dude…cheers!!!

Akshay à one crazy yet interesting person to hangout with.. I just love his one-linners.. I wish him all the luck and I know that he would be successful in his massive plan for future… stay in touch dude.. god bless!!

Sunny à what to say about him .. he is one guy who is so intelligent that even if he reads a chapter 10 min before the exam he would score 20 on 30 in it .. he is extremely jovial person … he tends to have a great sense of humor.. all the best for future dude..way to go.. stay in touch

Niharika malik à when I saw her for the first time I thought ‘ why is she angry?’ hhehehehe… but she is very friendly and intelligent.. once u get to know her well , she will be all pally pally with you , trust me guys… ya she has a bad side too.. but please DO NOT STEP THERE.. Best of luck.. u would go places…!!!

Sabia kochar à she is so sweet, subtle and girl next door … she doesn’t talk much but she is very intelligent …. I love her quiet and subtle behaviour… good going gurl…all the best for future!!

Sehraj à one can not stay away from his one liners and pranks.. his presence is quiet evident in class… I just love his one liners … and whenever he is in mood to enjoy then one must sit in radhika maam’s class and witness sehraj’s and maam’s interaction… all the best dude !!. stay in touch !!!...

Amandeep singh à he is one enthusiastic person in our class.. some people might mis-understand him, but he is a great person at heart… he has little more anger than everybody but I know he would work on it… all the best in life and I know you would get wat u want….

Aditya à he is one of the finest cricketer I have come across… he is very down to earth , ya little slow in terms of adjustment but very friendly once you get down to know him well…

Kushal à hmmm… he is very intelligent but the problem is he is not aware of it …. He is very friendly and has a spark of coming out as a leader in worst situation (I am saying this because I have seen a situation wherein his whole team was slogging but due to his confidence and his ability, he was able to handle the situation)… way to go dude…. just hold on to your confidence and trust ur instincts…

Arjun à well when I saw him for the first time I was like… ‘wow, he is cutely handsome?’ then in first year we hardly exchanged words but yes , I know he is very good and extremely confident when it comes down to give any presentations …. I wish him all the luck in life and would request him to lighten the class room more often ….. hehehehhe …. God bless!!

Sahil à being really frank I hardly know him… but what ever little I could conclude about his shy nature and his suttle yet evident personality is to good to be around with … I wish him all the best for his dream to be super model…good going boy…

Eshan à he is The techno freak of our class.. name it any gadget , name it any software and eshan is the answer to all… he is extremely friendly and yet very interesting person because his ‘art attack’ his ‘cartoonzz’ are to die for .. he has one of the wackiest brain I have come across… great going … all the best for future…!!

Rohan à well I really don’t know much, about him except for the fact that he is a great basket ball player and a person who gives great one-liners… all the best for future…

Pawan à well well well… he is a great sportsman indeed , yet I have seen him urging to make a mark in what ever he does.. let it be studies , let it be quiz , let it be presentation, call it anything.. I somehow appreciate his nature of being unsatisfied because according to me .. people who are unsatisfied make a mark in the world cause they strive really hard to make them-self satisfied… wish u all the luck in life..!!

Pratyangna aka prats à she is one sweet, innocent girl next door.. I just love the way she treat life and others in it… I wish her all the best and wish that she gets all happiness in this world… love u … little angel…
