RAGINI C IYER

26 comments:

  1. Ragini is one of those people who are so close to perfect, that you keep wondering how they manage to do it! She is the best friend one can have, so much so, that her friends literally fight to have her time and attention! She does an amazing job at whatever she picks up, be it dancing, a presentation, a project or just some random task. She loves travelling and visiting new places, and she is one of the most adjusting and accommodating people I know. I can’t think of anyone who would have something bad to say about her, and she is loved by all those who know her!

    As a study group mate, she has been a delight! I was elated the day I came to know she was in Group O. She has been there for me whenever I have needed her, and there are many embarrassing secrets of mine that she closely guards :P What I respect her for is that she always manages to see the best in people, and she will encourage you and fight for you always! She loves reading and listening to music, and she is chilled out in the face of any adversity. She can be lazy to go to classes, and many a morning has gone by with Ramya and me trying to wake her up in vain!

    I think it’s my good fortune that I got to be your neighbour and study group mate, and I have a friend like you! Like I said, you are perfect the way you are! I love your smile, keep smiling always! Wish you all the very best in life :)

  2. One of the sweetest girls of our batch, Ragini is a super-talented girl who excels in almost everything she does. She dances with an unparallelled grace and has an infectious charming smile. I just love the calmness and patience which she shows in everything she does. Comes across as a very cool-headed girl who is a perfect and apt Cultcomm member. U just rock Rags and I wish u all the very best for all your future endeavours.

  3. I don’t think the word NO exists in this girl’s dictionary. She truly deserves applause from the batch for forever working for some cause for herself or someone else (including getting food from multiple people every time she goes out!). She is one of the most helpful persons I have met. A very talented dancer( best in our college), gifted sportswoman ( am afraid to play badminton with her :) )and hardworking marketer ( Source for Markathon in case of shortage of articles any time), this gal from down south is truly an inspiration for all. She is also my group’s source for last minute assignment submission since she is a member of the ‘O’sum group. She is also the spokesperson of that group is out defending them all the time ( of course on orders from CIC Sria) when we discuss the “group dynamics” (read autocracy) that exists between those 6 members.
    The unfortunate owner of Manoranjan Ke Baaps, she is known for making the worst of selections in Kopda (Harish in first year and Me in the second year) resulting in a single win over 2 years :) . May you achieve all the success in wish for in life and wish you all good for that. Cheers!

  5. Perhaps the most interactive and enterprising girl on campus. she is one of those who can simply get along with anybody. it's a always a pleasure talking to her. she can spread smiles wherever she goes. extremely humble and down to earth, fun loving, talented, be it her dancing skills or her oration, she is the best at whatever she does. she is a sure asset for any organization. very few girls can be so simple and easy going. I have learnt a lot from whatever little interaction we had on campus.
    Keep this simplicity alive.
    Keep Rocking as always!!

  7. Fellow groupie. A beautiful dancer with even better expressions. In these two years i have never seen her angry or mad at something which shows the calmness and patience within her. A very lively and fun loving person with an awesome attitude towards life.

    Had an amazing time at those group meetings and being with you has been an amazing learning experience.

    Keep dancing :)

  8. Ragini is one of the most fabulous personalities I have ever met. This girl is a packet full of energy and extremely talented. I am awed by her excellent dancing skills and feel proud to have worked along with her as Bday Comm member. It was her sticking throughout the two years that led the three of us to successfully finish celebrating all bdays.

    Whoever meets Ragini, I am pretty sure would not be able to forget her easily. She has that aura around her that makes people mesmerised by her. She is always seen smiling and strikes a chord with anyone and everyone. Whatever short stint I had in CultComm, I have known her to be a true Cultcommer, always ready to give her hundred percent in and very logical and understanding in all her actions. She was there always for any kind of work required during both the events I was a part of, the Bonfire and Dance Workshop.

    I wish her all the very best in life and keep smiling as always :) :)

  9. Multitalented girl Ragini... she is an awesome dancer, badminton player and an extremely helpful person. You can always see the smile in her face and she would never say no to you for anything. Her cheering proves really luck for me and I have won many games because of that :)
    She also cooks very good food for all Machas :P However I didnt yet get the opportunity to taste it and still waiting for that...
    I am sure she will be reach great heights in her career and would make lot of good friends wherever she goes.
    All the best Ragini and keep in touch :)

  10. Ragini is one of the most versatile personality in the batch. She is always cheerful and very much matured in her approach towards life and people. A beautiful dancer, ace sports woman and a fabulous cook. She is a bundle of energy (perhaps blessed by the wind energy god :P). She was my partner in B.Comm (not to forget Mayur also). We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating b'days together. She can gel well with everyone and he is a gem of a person to be friends with. Wish u great success ahead. Keep smiling always :)

  11. Amazing dancer she is. when she dances i just feel like watching her and forget about my dance. Very down to earth and very mature and very helpful. I really want to learn all this from you. How can someone be so calm, mature and sensible?

    I will never forget our practice sessions where u teaching me every single step twice thrice and I struggling to do it like you.

    All the best for future and keep dancing and stay connected :)

  12. She is the laziest most active girl I have seen with a unique dim-witted brilliance that only a few can carry off. The “Yes Girl”…. Ready for anything irrespective of what, No doesn’t feature in her vocabulary. The prodigal shastrite with a bad taste in ‘Mokkai’ (PJs). The Tyagi who would willingly sacrifice a lot for her friends. Dancer extraordinaire with a passion and sincerity to what she does, a true group O’ ite.. She stands by her friends no matter what and can’t stand someone being down. We are all lucky to have a friend like you. All the best Ragini, may you start your dancing school soon. Signing off GG.

  13. Rags! Selfless; sacrificial; Loving; Caring; Friend to many!

    Ragini, to me, first seemed to be this hyper-active, wants limelight kind of a person. But since the time I got to know her (within the first few weeks itself); I have been cursing myself for my worst perceptive analysis of a person!

    I have known her very well individually and have also spent quite a lot of time with her as part of a huge gang of friends and I must tell you she is one of those key ‘gelling’ factors for such people groups because of the person she is. She maintains that individual connect with almost everyone and has a charisma that draws people to her. Her ability to spend time with everyone is amazing.
    She is simple in her thoughts and likes to see the nicer side of things always. She is an optimist at heart who is always cheerful and keeps people around her up in spirit, even if it takes a couple of unbelievably crazy jokes that she cracks. She is a people’s person to the core. She is extremely talented, a good dancer & vocalist and hardworking. She is good at writing and is a good listener (sometimes she listens with her eyes closed as well :P). She hardly gets angry at people which adds to her charming nature.

    Her unique trait is that ‘aunty/mom’ role that she so naturally adorns when in a gang. I still remember a mail that she sent regarding locking suitcases properly, when we were once getting back home. She is the first person to attend to anyone who is sick. She gives that caring “don’t do that to him” statements when we guys pull people’s leg. She is extremely helpful and is sacrificial in her loving and caring. If there is something that cannot be shared by all, she is the first one to say ‘its ok, let others have”. This is something that I have always admired and looked up to in her.

    She is also equally youthful and energetic about things. She has been a big drive and motivation for many of us here and can so well identify with a group of guys as if she was one. Personally, to me she has always been there as a great friend and a support listening to all the ‘not so meaningful, confusing chatter from me’

    It was wonderful to have known you rags. Memories of all the night canteen walks and pulling leg sessions will always be cherished. Such moments will also be missed badly as we move ahead. The 2008 factor was big as well. To know that there is someone on the same lines as you are during our combined study sessions was such a relief. Be this wonderful person you are and I am sure you will add more people to your fan list in the years to come. Wishing you luck in whatever you do in future, be it dance, teaching or marketing!

  14. Ragini is probably the only person on planet earth for whom friends fight against each other - this was so unbelievable as it happened very early into our IIM Shillong journey. But, i can now realize why people fought. Ragini is the friend you would love to have from the opposite sex. She's a sweet girl who will do anything for her friends. She and Harish are the only people who don't get offended when we play our pranks or when we do some serious leg-pulling on them - that makes both of them adorable not just to us but to many people on the batch.

    Ragini's dancing skills are probably amongst the best - be it classical or western, she can dance with ease :) She has been our only savior on the hindi front right from day 1. She can speak very good hindi and we struggle to bargain/speak to others when we go out without ragini :D

    Ragini can cook/ crack some PJs - she can do almost everything :) I still remember how we got her to give us a treat for getting her PF money - it seems weird to think of a reason for a treat ;) That is ragini for you - sweet :)

    I'm so happy that she got Adhi in her life and being a person who has known both so well, i can say this is going to be a deadly couple :D Can't wait to see them together :)

    Wish you all the very best for your future and i'm sure i will see you around :)

  15. Ragini---selfless, cheerful and lively, always game for fun and adventure, a great dancing damsel of IIM S, make friends with people really quick and goes to any length to sustain that friendship.
    She loves cooking, saving cake for girls during birthday celebrations (only BCommer who goes knocking at doors of people tin case the turnout is low). She is great at sports too and is a level headed person! She surely deserves the best of both the worlds ….. Personal ;) and Professional !
    Wish you lots of luck Ragini. See you around! :)

  16. Smiling face of our batch…

    For the first time when I saw her during the elegant performance she gave at the start of life @ IIM S I thought - what is she doing here? She should be among the lead dancers of India. However, over the past couple of years I discovered she is not just a dancer but a multi-talented and multi-faceted personality. Above all, a good human being.

    The story told by Harish and Paul regarding the talk you had with Adi’s father is still a fairy tale for me. Would definitely love to hear many more stories like that. Let me know when do you have time :).

    Wish you all the very best for your future and keep smiling…

  18. Ragini is a really sweet and multi-talented girl :) A great dancer… The grace with which she does classical dance is so admirable! Always cheerful and lively, she’s good at sports too… TT and badminton champ! And a dedicated B’comm member… Birthdays at IIM S would have never been so much fun without her! I would be doing injustice if I don’t mention about her PJ cracking skills… I think she’s taking training from Partha :P She’s got excellent communication skills and I’m sure she’ll do great in her job wherever she is! Good luck for everything Ragini! Keep smiling :)

  19. If you ask me to describe her in a word, that would be multi-talented. A jovial person, who always have a smile on her face, come what may. Rags is down to earth and extremely humble. She is very talented and famous for her dancing skills. She can pull off any dance with so much ease.

    The things I like the most about her is the way she manages to stay cheerful and keeps others on their toes with her jokes. She has a caring nature and a level headed person.

    All the best Rags in whatever you do and keep dancing !! :-) :-)

  20. Ragini- Best memories I've shared with her is Cultcomm, our dance performances and our sales role plays. She has this really contagious smile. Always up for all the outings, all the movies, and anything fun. Never will you see her not grinning. :D
    Dances awesome! Cracks super jokes [:P]! You cannot be sad fr too long a tym when in her company. She ll pep you up in no time.
    Very logical. Not necessary sticks with what other or friends have to say. Once she has made a choice, stands with it.
    Charm of any group wherever she goes. Cultcomm and friend circle would'nt have been complete if it were'nt for her.
    Working with you, knowing you, dancing with you, acting with you- all have been such great memories.
    Stay the same Rags. :) Good luck! :D

  22. Ragini is one extremely sweet and multi-talented girl. Whether it be Bday Comm. or CultComm, she is always seen working hard, on the fore-front of things. An extremely passionate dancer and amazing badminton player, she is a true all-rounder! Her bright smile is totally infectious and its only a matter of a few minutes before you end up joining in her laughter.

    Ragini, I know you have a bright future ahead. Wish you the best for everything :)

  23. R for Ragini , R for respect. :) I have full respect for the kind of person she is. Ever smiling, cheerful, jovial, chilled girl. Ready to help anybody anytime for anything and hence the nickname, ‘Tyagi’. I’ve never heard her saying NO for anything. Be it bakar or dance or going outside or having fun, she is up for anything. One person u’ll enjoy hanging out with for sure. :)

    Extraordinary dancer she is, can pull off any kind of dance with grace and perfection, be it western classical, Bollywood or mass. :D We’ve had lots of fun during the dance practice sessions doing all weird kind of steps. :P Amazing choreographer too, she along with Payal can choreograph for any kind of song, just that the steps can be thoda girly :P :P.

    Very responsible Cult comm and Bday Comm Member.  Very caring about friends. She along with Ramya together has always got gifts for everyone of us on our respective bdays. :) Would never forget all the bakar sessions, conversations, leg pulling we have had in Harish’s room and our movie watching trips. :)

    Stay as you are, always smiling. Cheers :)

  24. The first person I spoke to from IIM Shillong.. n during the senior-junior meet wer this woman couldn’t keep her mouth shut and I was sitting rite next to her gawking at her ability to talk to random people like she has known them for years… never did I guess this gal was to be my partner in crime throughout the next two years…
    The first thing that strikes you is her energy and enthusiasm for life.. This gal has the heart of gold that allows her to see only good in people.. I remember her telling us (me, harish and a few others) throughout the footsteps week that the seniors were putting all these pains for our own good and this woman even when up to the stage to thank them at the end of the week.. The only person who could have an heart to thank after a gruelling week
    An awesome dancer who dances her heart away.. be it western classical or folk, she can do it all.. She dances with so much passion and life that it could just transport you to a different world.. The lazy bones that she is, it is a task to wake her up.. one of the very few ppl who has made bunking a habit from day one..
    A thorough foodie who loves food as much as me.. a thorough south indian who loves her coffee.. a pani puri addict.. her love for good food has made us expert chefs over the course of these two years :P :P
    She is an awesome people’s person.. her ability to make time for everybody and strike a harmonious balance between various friends has always awed me… most importantly, one of the most caring and friendliest person on campus- a Tyaagi ( dats how we cal her :P) u can take it for granted that she’ll help u out wenever u need her…
    One of my best friends on campus, thanks for being der for me always.. Patiently listening to my constant rants and cheering me up.. You have a special place in my heart :) :)

  25. Rags is the person everyone in the world will want to be :)!!
    A caring and fun person who cracks superb jokes :P, I used to admire throughout the first year as to how ppl fought (even cried :P) for her time. It takes something to be that _/\_ :)!!

    I have hardly seen her say no in these 2 years. AS soon as any mail is dropped for interest in anything, she will hit ‘Reply All’ with ‘I am ready :)’ :P!!

    Thanks for making me feel a part of the gang :).. wishing u luck ..

    Cheers,
    Saba

  26. Thyaagi (Altruist) – is the one word to describe this girl. Almost all of the time, she puts everyone else before her when taking any decision. She is a total people person who will do anything for friends. A bday comm member – that should say something. A complete extrovert that she is, her mokkai’s (PJ’s) are unbelievable. She is one who can garner 250 likes on a profile pic; such is her friends circle and such was that pose (pic of a live dance performance). That brings me to the fact that she is an excellent dancer and wants to make a career out of it. I sincerely wish that you are very successful in that, Rags! Rags, you are someone whom I really look up to and wish I could be like you at least to some degree. My respect for you cannot be described in few words! Keep in touch!
