Doesn't eat Pizza or maggi cos it is made of "maida". Epitome of healthy living. Inspired many to take up meditation, notorious for tongue in cheek humour, never seen frustrated, angry or agitated - that is Apoorva Chandra for you. Bagged a job by eating one banana, two tomatoes and meditating the whole day. Famous as Master Shifu (inner peace) amongst his best friends. Way too fundoo than most people I have every known. Nice knowing you mate!!! . All the best for all your future endavours. Peace :) .

Age has no correlation with Wisdom. Don't believe me? Just talk to Apoorva for a few mins and you will be a changed person :)

In this hustle and bustle of the corporate world, don't forget your dream project in the education sector! You are born to do bigger things (no pun intended :P)! All the best & keep in touch!

Godman on campus. A river of serenity. Possessor of mystic eyes like buddha. Lean figure like Gandhi. Voice like 5 year old baby. Yogi by practice. Dweller of cleanest room among boys.Consumer of organic food. User of scented sandal soaps. One who is confused where he eats. A person who can be me in alternate universe. At place like ISB a very very rare breed. I don't how he escaped ESCON hunters at IITs. Probably then he wouldn't any longer be humanly spiritual :P I can write any more of his qualities, aankho mein aanso aa gaye :'( . Best of wishes from my side

Yadi life main kisi ko clarity hai to woh shifu hai...yadi life main koi chill hai to woh shifu hai...yadi life main koi kabhi load nahi leta to woh shifu hai! Shifu with his inner peace supported me even when 4 people were yelling at me for driving the car over the ramp (obviously it wasn't my fault). One of shifu's random achievements is to bag a job on day 3 with out getting a single shortlist!! Nice to know you dude...lets work for few years and then start the PHARMA delivery business!!

i remember apoorv sleeping in the passenger chairs with a suitcase to support him from falling in Delhi domestic terminal!! he is the only person who can ever fit into that spot!! a very soft spoken and creative person.. the green kurta poet of isb!! its a great pleasure knowing you and good luck for the future dude!!
-Rajiv Ramanan
Chuppa Rustam is what i would say. Behind all the talks pf peace that he does is a clever mind. He is someone who came up with the most destructive ideas in our group meetings. His idea to make a viral video was simply brilliant. A good writer and poet, your writings are fun to read. Soft spoken, always calm and ready to take on any work. All the best and stay peaceful.

Apoorva belongs to the rarest of the rare breed- a Down-to-Earth IITian! Super sharp yet super humble, Apoorva is the quiet working horse of a team. Then he does a complete U-turn and suprise you by bringing down the roof down with his funny speeches. Only God knows how he has packed so much into a 45 kg frame! I always remember fondly the times when we posed as Telecom Experts :P

Master Shifu, as he is commonly known within the group, is epitome of peace and wisdom, the "Yes ! Man" on campus, you will never get a "no" from him, except after 2 am when he can barely keep his eyes open. Highly addicted to meditation, you can never keep him away from it. Wears a jacket even if it is 20 degree Celsius outside and starts shivering at the sheer mention of hill stations :P, I think he should join politics cos he'll never contradict you, he restricts his replies to one of the following options -" Yaar, tu theek kah raha hai", "Sahi baat hai" , "Aisa kar sakte hain" (guys watch out for these words, if he throws them at you that means he's interested in the conversation) :P. Dude, it was great knowing you, all the best for your future and keep in touch!!

Undisputed coolest guy on the campus - a healer. When all of us are busy in designing, decorating our assignments in different colors, he starts and even then submit before us. I really like one of his lines when he was giving placement gyaan - why we need so shortlists? we will get only one job and thus only sl and he proved it too. Ready to see a counseling column in HT very soon. All the best buddy !

One of the most unassuming members of our batch...when I first met him, I could have never imagined that there was a poet and a stand-up comedian behind the person...glad I had the opportunity to work with him as well during the year...he helped me realize that I have a decent sense of humour when he laughted at some of my imitations and jokes during our journey to Hyderabad...if you can make an expert comedian laugh..you must have a sense of humour...wishing you all the best...keep in touch!
-Ramnath Ravi
Simple unassuming that's what Apporva may look like but inside that there is a horsepower brain that can beat big geniuses.Prof Tanya would be frightened by your very serious posture in class , give smile to her , she is a good aldy after all;)Apoorva is a poetry gem ,lucky to know a person like you.Good luck Mr green Kurta.
-Kapil Dev Tejwani
I am glad that you won the toastmasters humorous speech contest coz other wise I would have never got to know the brilliant guy with an amazing sense of humor who to me epitomised humility as well. Apoorva, I really enjoyed our trip to the toastmasters area level contest, in you I found a kindred soul who thought almost like I did about people and life in general. God Bless and hope you find all the love, success and happiness that you so richly deserve!
-Deepthi Rajan
This guy has one of the best stage presence. Made all his class presentations awesome with his one liners and presence of mind.
-Mayur Agarwal
My study group buddy during Terms 1 and 2, Apoorva was dedicated to his work and helped achieve a certain level of efficiency in our otherwise disruptive study group meetings. Appearing as the quiet and shy type, Apoorva quite surprised me with his witty humor, which came out of nowhere during our downward trending MarkStrat presentation. In addition, his poetry has awed and left many speechless, me included. Wish you all the best in life... I'm sure you'll do well given your multitude of skills!
