It's Diwali time in AIM

Uptil now I was not acquainted with the night life excitement for which Philippines is known for.My life was waiting for the fun ‘n ‘pleasure.Yes, My life did changed forever right after the puerata galera visit more precisely from the month of November,2003.It did took some time after landing in manila to get a taste of the nightlife in hotspots in Philippines. Oh! What a nightlife I had in Manila for almost 18 months once I discovered the pleasure in this country ( I shall tell the readers about it later)after puerta galera which was my first maiden single journey cum tour in Philippines or in any abroad country.
On 30 th September, 2003 I took print out of something important right from the internet e-mail system regarding some transaction related certificates. ( This thing turned out to be fake as I had expected )

October was the festival time in AIM. Especially for the Indian students as it was the time for many Indian festivals like Dussehra, Durga puja , Diwali and more.
Our batch was responsible for hosting the Dussehra /Diwali in a spirited way inside the AIM premishes.
During the diwali festival there was large decoration of sets, candle stick lighting and lots of contests , nautanki, and khana peena.
During the festival , there was a special Ramayana play which was enacted by our batch( especially fillipinos ) in which Ravan ,sita and Ram were all played by the Filipinos . The big guy Anthony played the character of Ravanna , the role of sita was played by Cathy ponce.
It was a interesting site to see local Filipinos playing and enacting the epic Ramayana. Then there was contests like Ram -lakhan- as best friends, Best male friendship pair
Ram and Sita, Kumbhakaran etc etc.
Incidently and surprisingly I won the best friends awards with Himanshu kher.
Who was my three years junior my former place of education named IIT Kgp.
In fact I was also in the runner up position with another AIM student Who happens to be my room mate named Sachin bajaj.
Unfortunately we got nothing special in prize after winning the constest just only
The titles. I do not know who was instrumental in having the "best friends" title named as Ram Lakhan when in the mythology they were brothers.
As I have said the October month were filled with festivals and parties with the gaities unbound.
I personally paid someone in this world some dollars for things related to transaction the details of which I cannot provide here. It was 27 th October ,2003 When I paid someone in Africa thru western union money transfer
