BITS of Success goes for Reprint

We are happy to share that "BITS of Success"-- our book on BITSian entrepreneurs and other achievers has gone for reprint!

How was this possible? Because you-- the readers of Ghumakkad's blog have hit 1000+ unique page views of both the stories related to the book.

Released in Jan 2014 in the Golden Jubilee Year of BITS Pilani, it has real life stories of 50 BITSians who have excelled not only as entrepreneurs but also as adventurers (like skiing to both the North and South Pole besides climbing Mt Everest)! 

Take a look at on-line links below:

Sneak Preview of BITS of Success

This is a humble tribute of three alumni of BITS to their alma-mater. In true BITSian spirit, the proceeds from the sale of this book go to BITS Alumni Association and not to the authors.
We feel privileged to have done our bit for this great institution.

Thanks for your support.

Thrill of a 10K Run

_______________ BITS 10K Run in Hyderabad ______________ 

BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus organised a 10K Run on 23rd March 2014, the Golden Jubilee year of my alma-mater. Outdoor events are always a great fun.

The 10K Run was open to all. Not just BITSians and families but also runners from Hyderabad Runners Association and the public.
There were participants from the Cadet Training Wing of Military College of EME also! See picture below.

It was a perfect morning around Hussain Sagar and the venue was all set.

 Participants arrived early to warm up.

Children were not to be left behind!

Young and not-so-young BITSians had huge smiles on their faces.

By the time it was 7 AM. the crowd was raring to go.

 TV anchor Uma enthralled the crowd.



DGP Khan, the Chief Guest came jogging to flag off the event along with Dr VS Rao, Director Hyderabad campus.



Colourful balloons were released and the Run was flagged off.

More than 800 runners/walkers participated. Some action shots:

Women runners kept a steady pace.

Student volunteers from Hyderabad campus helped in excellent conduct of the 10K Run. It gave all the BITSians a sense of pride.

The Institute moves on from the Golden Jubilee to the Diamond Jubilee (2024) and beyond. Insha-allah!
