To the new Torch Bearers…

I envisage our minds as flint stones which have the capability to kindle a fire when ignited. They say that a good education adds on to this fire. The flame then glimmers in the mind and stays with ones core forever…However, I am not sure…am yet to experience it!

The intent of this write up is not to promote anything. This is a candid forthright attempt to paint a myriad picture at Flame.

If you fall into the addiction of seeing the glass half full, then you are sure to be positive about learning at Flame. If you are the kind of person who loves to taste an innovative cuisine at the inauguration of a new restaurant and then weighing it in your mind machine to appreciate and criticize it on different parameters to then tell your friends and relatives about it, Flame is for you. It’s an experience that you may be reluctant to dive in, but it will sure be something to cherish about once you have come here.

You may miss the city, but countryside has its own fascination… And that too, a hi-tech countryside where you sit your machine coffee at the water cascade with your lappy…! You may feel claustrophobic at times, when you want to get out of here and go to the city. It’s the time you die for weekends. One can actually feel the joy of witnessing cars and crowd, roads and restaurants!

What may sure magnetize you to come here is the top view of the beautiful green golf course while you traverse through the unmade roads towards the campus! There may be times when you just want to jump from the roads onto that green patch of land. It almost feels like your treasure lies just beneath and yet you hardly get there!

There are mixed reviews about the food that feeds us in flame. But the half glass full theory works here as well! You will have no qualms about the food here if you have already had the experience of being away from your family deprived of “maa ke haath ka khana”, only to eat in a typical mess where a ‘roti’ can be used as an eraser! You will feel blessed with the food Sodexho provides you at Flame. There are days when they let you indulge in sinful bliss with hot chocolate and brownie and there are days when you may just wish to consume as much buttermilk as you can!

Multi tasking and time management skills will get honed to their best. From yoga to sports to developmental activities to attending classes, doing assignments, participating in events, squeezing in time to eat lunch, running for lectures, not being allowed in accounts classes at 9.01 am, watching late night movies of course under ‘movie club’, learning not to rely on only one alarm and much more!…
Flame will sure train you to be the superman and the superwoman of the 21st century!
