Tiny caterpillar, but tall lessons! Yes, that's what one picture of a caterpillar has taught us. Thanks to the interpretations by the readers, the caterpillar reminded Ghumakkad of an Adventure Event organised by him more than 14 years ago. Having founded Prakriti the Environment Club of Icfai Business School (IBS) Hyderabad in June 2004, it was a pleasure adding adventure activities to the club in subsequent years. During 2008, we had organised an Adventure Day in IBS campus at Dontanapally, Hyderabad. It included valley crossing, monkey crawling and rappelling. Am sharing few pictures from that event below.
When with students, you end up doing and learning many more things. After teaching 10 batches of MBA at IBS Hyderabad, I had recounted the experience in a picture story. You may click the link below to browse the story:
"Harsh@IBS- A Journey of a different kind"
So, what is the connection between adventure and a caterpillar? The picture of a caterpillar clinging to a slender leaf upside down but still moving, stirred the imagination of our readers. See the pictures below and tell us whether you see a connection between adventure and a caterpillar or not?
Talking about perspective, our previous story titled 'Perception Vs Perspective' brought out how one affects the other. Even in this contest, the readers' perception led to a change in our perspective of the contest picture! QED!
As far as adventure is concerned, the armed forces thrive on it. Here is a picture of a soldier doing monkey crawling - just like a caterpillar or a monkey!

The Winners
Our Jury Akanksha and Neeta were quick to select three winning captions. We are delighted to share the winners' brief profile along with their captions.
Peter de Padua writes creatively and has won several KBG Contests in the past also. A former Wing Commander of IAF, Peter is a water sport enthusiast. His matter-of-fact caption 'Upside down or inside out, never ever give up, keep moving on', has a deeper meaning for our life. It won the Jury's appreciation.
Once again we thank all the participants and congratulate the three winners.
Hope we have been able to bring some freshness and cheer in your life with KBG Contests. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
