Interview with Chinmay Shirodkar, Best BMS Class Representative, Sydenham College

Q.1) 5 interesting things about yourself 

A) your achievements till date
One of my biggest achievements so far would be to be placed in KPMG. But having successfully completed 3 years of BMS without any KTs is an achievement on its own 🙂

c) aim / philosophy in life 
Well of course to be successful. But success isn’t only about money. I want to be self reliant and self sufficient. So, at the end of the day I want to be content and without regrets.

d) future plans
For starters,  I look forward to joining KPMG and establishing a firm base for my career.
In the long run, I aspire to do something of my own. I will set up business/consultancy as per suitability.

e) hobbies/likes 
Football – it completely defines me. I have been playing it since I was a kid and its a major part of me. But apart from that I like photography, motion gaming and I’m also a numismatist.

f) dislikes
Life is a gift. Don’t make the mistake of not enjoying it. Enjoy and accept each part and phase of life as it comes to you!

Q.2) 5 fantastic things about your bms life:

A) positive / negative things about your college. 
A definite plus point about Sydenham would be its culture of 100 years which has been passed on as a legacy to each batch that graduates from this college. The heritage might be crumbling and there might be other better colleges, but the image Sydenham creates of you is priceless.

B) positive / negative things about bms course

The fact that BMS deals with around 40 subjects during three years, prepares us to deal with each and every aspect of business is a positive part of this course.

C)how has bms course helped you to develop your personality 
The course has made me self confident. It has developed my oratory skills and helped me in vocalizing my thoughts. It really just made a professional out of a rough spun lad.

d)changes you would like to make in the course 
It would have been more convenient to have the same subjects for the entire year as to get in depth knowledge about them.

e) Your favorite bms / college memories

First and last presentation, First and last lectures, College trips .. all these memories will stay forever.

Q.3) 3 amazing tips to youngsters/juniors?
Well I would only tell them to enjoy the years. As these are the days which we never get back. Make lots of friends. Make mistakes, get into trouble and even get caught…each is a lesson on its own.
And on a personal note, be the Class Representative if you get the chance (it has its own benefits)
