Manipal is like a home for me. In 3 years, it has given me a lot.

2. What does Manipal and ManipalBlog bring to your mind?

Manipal, it will be difficult to put my emotions on a page, yes Manipal is like a home for me.In 3 years, it has given me a lot.It is a journey of how a shy child became a confident man.Coming here and meeting hundreds of people coming from different places, it is “like,share, plus 1” kind of feeling.Manipal gave a platform for interacting with every type of people present on this earth.

It was 27th august,2011 when me with my friend Nitin Agarwal started our journey of Insight-a student initiative which serves as a bridge to the gap that lies between the commercial sector and civil community.Presently 70+ shops of Manipal and Udupi are advertising online on this website. But before this the major task was to convince these people, me with my friend visited more than 200 shops of Manipal to build this platform.

In doing this, I came more n more close to Manipal and people of Manipal and Udupi.There are few people who are joined with us, treat us as their children like Vasant sir (owner of Aashirwad and Geetanjali movie hall), Akshata Mam (owner of Piccolos Ice Cream Parlour),

Sandesh sir (owner of Sowmiya Tours & Travels),Manoj Sir (owner of Shefin’s Group), Shariq Sir (owner of Wicked), Robin Sir (owner of Let’s talk Mobile Shop) and Salahuddin sir (owner of Dawath Family Restaurant,Udupi).I will miss all these people and Manipal a lot when I will complete my engineering.

ManipalBlog is a platform through which a person who is unknown of this city, can get to know a lot about it.Manipalblog featured Insight in it’s starting days.We also had a meeting with Vishal Sir (Founder, Manipalblog) about progress of ManipalBlog and Insight.All I can say is you people did an awesome and solid job with ManipalBlog and my best wishes are always with ManipalBlog Team.
