Tragic death of another MBA student of mine

He got campus placement. He went to Mumbai for initial introductory session with his prospective employer. DOJ was mutually worked out. Meanwhile he came back to Pune for Holi celebrations with his batch mates.

Institute was having holiday. Students were busy in celebrations. Next day, it was festival of colors. He also enjoyed colors all around. Full day fun, masti and time pass. As if he was having last few moments of his life and he wanted to Live those moments. I had no reason to know this entire story.

In the evening, all friends went near Khadakwasala Dam for swimming. He was to return to Mumbai next day for his first job. Some where something went wrong. He never came out of water. I got the news. Entire Institute rushed to the spot. His friends were also speechless. We got help from local people. Police was informed. No clue !

Two days search operation was going on. His family at Nagpur were also intimated about the mishap. They were not ready to believe the news. He was a good swimmer. They said " Nothing will happen to him." They even refused to come to Pune.

After two days, the news of one dead body came. We reached there. It was HIS !! Friends could make it out from his wrist watch.

Police case- postmortem ! All formalities completed. On informing his family members, they were not ready to believe. Also they were not ready to come to Pune due to some reasons.
One ambulance from Pune, with one of my faculty members, two students accompanied the dead body to Nagpur. I can just imagine the scene at his home !!

My students were shocked, so was I. Death of two students in one year of Directorship of MBA Institute in Pune was my destiny ! Still carrying it with me.
