6 years... Nostalgia and more...

[Administrator]

6 years ago....

It was around this day - while being in PEC, Chandigarh... and we, a bunch of 18-20 yr olds, were wondering if we'll have enough crowd tomorrow for LC's scheduled launch at the huge and prestigious Login Cyber Cafe on Madhya Marg, Sector 8, Chandigarh...

Me (Akhil), Harjinder Kochhar, Harwinder Sidhu, Rahul Jindal, Nidhie, Smisha and Disha - all 3rd Semester students of PEC had our hearts really thumping... It was planned to be a very huge launch... Through my earlier media contacts, I had ensured the presence of almost all of local and national dailies, local cable TV channels - Siti & Channel [4], and scheduled my interviews with Channel [V], Star, Zee TV and Zee News...

While Pankaj, our falsh designer, being in Canada, could not make it there...

Harjinder, my fellow Production Engineering buddy, was there with me at all times, managing every minute detail for the Mega Launch Party... It was he, who was responsible for the smooth running of the event! Everytime I was in dilemma, he had a solution - tailor-cut to solve it! Harjinder is now at Hyderabad bringing laurels to Oracle Inc.

Harwinder and Rahul, both from Computer Science and Engineering branch at PEC were the ones who turned our ideas into reality. While I used to bug Harwinder (living just a sector away from my place) with all sorts of odd requirements for LC, he would just set the backend right for me! Rahul took care of every aspect of site, programming and more... Both of these gems are responsible for LC to actually get online bugs-free! Harwinder, as expected, is now an IT genius with IOC and is making great name in IT Consulting with them at Noida... While Rahul is a Senior Specialist with CPA Global Inc. handling Intellectual Property Asset Management, Patent Analytics for them! LC owes it's existence to this man indeed!

Nidhie, as the content Manager of the site, no doubt was responsible for almost every alphabet written on LC at that time. It was she who had suggested various services and handled them as well, which were so very unique for any youth site at that time... I will have to mention here that this girl was handling two degree courses at that time... Extremely honest and hardworking, it's little wonder that she is a favourite engineering faculty member now at a prestigious engineering college!

Disha and Smisha - the creative duo of PEC - handled the creative part, be it designs, logos, decorations or any art or creative work. They gave shape to whatever Nidhie, Rahul, Harjinder and Harwinder submitted them. My weird and impossible ways of thinking and flying thoughts were also given a shape by them. Disha is pursuing her PhD at University of Southampton while Smisha, currently at Oxford pursuing her studies, is an IT Consultant with CSC - Computer Sciences Corporation.

All these guys and innumerable other people had contributed to LC at that time... Infact, tens of people were involved - my fellow pals and friends, classmates, even professors to an extent!

That day and today, it's been 6 years, filling my heart with great pride... as I look at the statistics today, it gives a great feeling of achievement...

At the moment, am not in a very fine and happy mood at a personal level, but this thread was necessatated by time himself... I shall write more... will tell you more about LC and how it took this shape... but for now am releasing open this thread for everyone to appreciate...

Love Always,

Akhil Verma

Poem at this occassion on some guzrate lamhe....


guzertay lamho! mujhe batao zindage ka asool kia hai
tamaam hathon main aayne hain to kon kis se chupa hua hai
ager sada ka wajood kanon se munsalik hai
to kon khushbo main bolta hai
ager samander ki hud hai sahil
to kon ankhon main phailta hai
tamam cheezain ager yeh hi hain
to kon cheezon se mavraa hai
kise khabar badalti rut ne puraane paton se kia kiya hai
yeh kon badal se ja ke pooche ke itne mosam kahan raha hai
jo aaj dekha hai kal na ho ga
koi bhi lumha atal na ho ga
guzertay lumhoo! mujhe batao zindage ka asool kia hai
