Sometime in the month of August, was the whole idea of footprints introduced to us. A media seminar- branding- teamwork-blah! None of it sounded as exciting, as it later turned out to be, at that point of time. And Jab We Met, we didn’t have a slightest clue that we would lead to where we did- and how! So all those who have never believed in the power of ‘we’, surely need to meet my team, popularly the Delhi footprints team, 2008.
At the first go, none of the PGs hit it off instantly. Had our share of disbeliefs, lack of faith, and a cocktail of a lot more too. The first few times we met, we only yelled, and became famous for that as well. But, of course, then we settled down more or less. Then, came in an enthusiastic little army, our ug members, and the face of the team gradually changed as well.
Come Delhi, and we worked like never before. There are few things that I clearly remember of my team though:
Neha Saluja’s incessant daily calls to me! (thanks to Reliance, we could stay connected without becoming broke). We cribbed of how the recession would hit us badly, or how we would have to end up begging for money.
Late night panic calls by a certain Mr. ROBIN hood. “Do you realise that we have a very few days left?” This was what was heard repeatedly. “I am leaving for Muradabad. And I am only INFORMING you” Go ahead, I am not your caretaker anyway, is what I could have said. 
Last minute changes in the few creatives, and how hard Shwetha had worked on them, through the night!
Saiba’s messages on gmail, and how she always had to wait for my replies. And how she could never connect to my phone, though I don’t know why!
Aakash’s arguments with this guy called Sharma, the venue owner, who managed to get a decent sum out of us ultimately. Chirag’s last minute creativity, Ayush’s efforts witht he printer, Ridhima’s way of handling logistics so well with Natasha, the ever- consistent Aanchal at documenting and coaxing people to work, Nidhi and Ankita’s tremendous publicity endeavour, Richa’s and Sumedha’s budgeting.
Our D-day goof ups and how we managed to come out clean of all of them!
Shyama ma’am’s constant support, the meetings with her in the central park, and the way she overlooked our flaws!
There’s a lot more to the team and its people though, if not for the lack of space and your patience!
All in all, it’s been a wonderful experience to be a part of this team, and I am proud of it, and the way it worked. Have never been more nostalgic about anything before.
P.S.: Just had a three flat hours sleep, and dreamt that we were working for DFP. But , like someone said, no matter how we wish things turn up the way we want them to, they don’t always do. And, so, good things do come to an end. We plan to party very soon though. Love you guys!

Hey deepali,
I attented the DFP chapter and would really like to tell you that you guys rocked.Was there to know more & more about simc and cleared most of my doubts.Being frank enough as i am asping to be a part of simc i was there and i really enjoyed attending the whole event,I was there through out the day, but i suppose there was a session going to be held on SNAP nd SET but i think that it was cancelled due to lack of time or may be i missed it.Anyways the event was a huge hit.
Would like to tell you the best part of the day was the moment the whole team of delhi footprints was on stage and each one of you were introduced.
Chirag was really rocking.got the passes from Astha and also had a word with Aakash after the event was over.
Would really like to appreciate the effort you guys took managing the whole event successfully and hats off to Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury.
