On the 30th of September, 2023, I went on a very special journey that took me down memory lane. Guess what? I was invited to Mangalore University as an external examiner for a Ph.D. student! Yes, the same university where I did my M.Com, M.Phil, and Ph.D.!
I started my journey comfortably in my Tata Nexon EV, and on the way, I stopped at the Institute of Management and Commerce, Srinivas University, City Campus, Pandeshwar. I spent around 30 minutes there, refreshing old memories, and then continued my journey to Mangalore University. I reached there at around 9:50 in the morning.
And guess whom I met first? My old friend, Dr. Parameshwar, who is now the Chairman of the Department! We both worked together before in the B.Com Vocational Course (Taxation) at Mangalore University. He has always been a calm and helpful person, and it was really nice meeting him after such a long time.
I also met other amazing people there like Dr. Tolpady, Dr. Subhashini Srivatsa, who was the Guide, and the Ph.D. candidate, Dr. Sriraj. Then I got to meet other big names of the Department - Dr. Eshwara, Dr. Vedava, and Dr. Yatish.
A big thanks to Dr. Parameshwara and Dr. Subhashini who gave me this great opportunity to judge the candidate. It was quite an experience! Many researchers from the Department came to attend the public viva of the candidate, and it was a lively session.
It felt really good to be back in the university, meeting all these amazing people, and also being part of a student’s Ph.D. viva. What a day it was!
In our life’s journey, we move ahead, but the places like our University, where we learn so much, always have a special place in our hearts, hai na?
I thought to share this special day with you all. Keep visiting my blog for more stories from my life and journey! I remembered my stay at Mangalore University.
