This weekend I spent immersed in two types of green 1) the lush tropical greenery of Karjat, where I took part in a waterfall rappelling adventure and 2) the Dartmouth community of Mumbai, which convened for a luncheon get together.
Karjat is located in the mountains outside of Mumbai in a beautiful valley. Our excursion consisted of a 45 minute hike to the top of a waterfall and then rappelling down through the falls. I have done quite a bit of climbing so that part wasn’t that novel, but having the waterfall streaming down on you as you rappelled was very cool. Also, the rappeling route descended down to the entrance to a set of large caves in which ancient buddhist monestary had been built. If I only had my floppy hat and whip it would have been straight out of Indiana Jones. The trip was organized by some Dartmouth / Parthenon people - yeah for Parthenon for being so hospitable to me.
The Dartmouth event was hosted by Patty Greene D’83 (wife of Chip Greene D’83 T’90), at their house in Malabar Hill. With a dozen or so alums in attendance, some great food, and a bit of reminiscing about life back in Hanover; the event was really fun. Among the group, there were four Tuckies in attendance from the classes of “02, ‘04’, ’07 and ’08. The presence of so many distinguished alums from the world’s best business school is clearly a testament to the growing importance of India as a global economic power. Yeah for Tuck! Most of us will be attending the admissions event in Mumbai on October 10th, trying to further spread the gospel of Tuck in India.
