Another bright Sunday morning dawned upon us MAD folk here in Mangalore and we actually marveled to ourselves “Is it time for another recruitment drive already?”  We had been laying all the groundwork over the past few weeks and time had literally been a blur as we covered almost every inch of every campus in Mangalore to let people know about the forthcoming rec drive.

The first recruitment drive of 2010-11 in Cochin is over. It was a ‘houseful’ event – 61 people turned up. It was way more than what I(or anyone else) expected. The event was held at Avenue Regent on the 25th of April – three days ago. We are really grateful to the Avenue Regent management(especially Mr Rejith) for providing us the venue free of cost.

Three weeks of planning. Hundreds of phone calls. Dozens of meetings. And even a few hours of actual work. All for one thing – Cochin MAD Volunteer Recruitment Drive. And its this Sunday – to be precise, on the 25^th of April at 9:30 AM. Location: Top Secret. The only way you can get the location is if you register for the event. Or if you bribe one of our Core Team members(for example, me) with a choclate cake.

From 2010 on, MAD’s children will be using “The Cambridge English for Schools Curriculum”

Yes, now that I do have your attention, let me give you all details. It was pineapple cake. Ok. Ok. Enough about the cake (though it was absolutely awesome)

Last day of MAD – Of broken Kannada and non alcohol tears

Aka: Golra, Glo
Post : City and National President

Big things come in small packages..in our case, it comes in the smallest of all.

Interesting plans, methodical executions, soft but demanding leadership, extra-ordinary clarity, backed with openness to suggestions and humility. Glo is a brilliant teacher who can don administrative functions with equal ease. Our President (and I say this with a lot of pride) is all set to Make a Difference in her welcome second term. Go Glo!
Oh ya! She is the National President too.  Wow! So from now on: Our …

Here we are, standing on the threshold of  life, waiting for  the right moment to take flight, taking all precautions to ensure that the launch pad is perfect, warranting the clear absence of all aberrations and anomalies, to want to acquire that coveted pair of wings that will take us thus afar, the great ambition to attain perfection, in reverie of the perfect life, a better tomorrow – Isn’t this, though somehow farfetched, ‘les essentielles de reve’ of every young adult today?
How far is any of this going to get …

A Farewell party in an Art Village. Umm.
Black or White theme. Uhh.
Discussions, brain-storms, future plans. Ugh.
