http://atulycce.blogspot.in/ The Diwali vacations had started and lovers like Manoj were again disheartened by the thought of separation from their sweetheart. My Filmy mind imagined Maneesha getting emotional for Manoj and singing… ‘Kal College band ho jayega, Tum apne ghar ko jaaoge, Phir ek lakda ek ladki se juda ho jayega Wo mil nahi payega.’ ‘We are not so Filmy like you, Rajesh.

Volume 2, Number 2, April-June’ 2013                                                                  A year back, when I was associated with C-DAC (a premier research and development organization in Pune) I had a chance of writing, direct and acting in a play called DNA-D Nightmare Awards (That’s the long form of DNA with reference to this article). Now when I look back at the conditions in which the play was performed at C-DAC’s 24 th Foundation Day, I feel that DNA can be termed as a classic case of effective project management. In addition...
