Making of the Gravity Gravity, as it stands today, is a glorified version of a simple thought that it took off upon. The idea was to communicate to the diverse set of stakeholders of Great Lakes Institute of Management as conceived by student members of the Branding & Public Relations Committee. With adequate deliberations, it led to the creation of an independent Editorial Committee, which would collectively steer the idea into its completion. From there on, it has been a story par excellence. The story began with the quest for a suitable name, and none could have imagined that a fundamental property of physics would translate so well into a meaningful title. Well, that was the pull of ‘Gravity’. It sought to serve as an instrument providing insight into the Great Lakes community. The objective of representing the diverse stakeholders was well manifest in the efforts that went behind the making, and in what finally came out as the ‘made’. There are always some interesting secrets behind the scenes for any success story. In a journey of three months that took to bring out the first edition, there were many a moments of joy, humor, agony, frustration, excitement and the like. But, the journey was enriching in its own way, as it was driven by learning and skills of group dynamics, resource management, leadership and knowledge creation. Something never to be missed was the chirpy and humorous comments of our NASA-return Editor (Gopal), who was an anytime stress buster. He is the ‘devil’s advocate’ of the team, who helps the team time and again, to strive for higher standards! And if one ever heard of ‘good things come in small packages’, this powerhouse Editor (Neha) was a living example. She excelled at negotiating-to-win and would surely pass out as a qualified expert at vendor management (if only there was an additional degree for it!) Well, we often speak of heights, but this modest Editor (Sathish), surely could not scale any greater ‘heights’. His dedication and concentration was so deep that he could solve complex algorithms while graciously shaking to the tune of ‘apadi podu podu’! If looks could kill, err… deceive, then this was it!! This self-acclaimed beauty queen of Great Lakes (Sai Sudha) can easily be mistaken with her studious demeanor to be a nerd. Yet, she was anything but that. Last heard was that impressed with her ‘co-co’ordination skills, she was offered an Ambassadorial role to China! The art of sleeping could not get better. The core competency for this ‘dream merchant’ Editor (Nikunj) is to sleep anytime, anywhere, and to come up with invigorating questions with his eyes half shut. Not surprisingly, he terms this act as ‘visualization’. Indeed! From left to right: Sathish, Sai Sudha,Gopal, Nikunj & Neha MAKING OF THE GRAVITY 44
