Akbar Kamal …….Who doesn’t know this guy????? Well this may be a hyperbole, but this guy hailing from Nagpur is something!!! Although he inherits an incredible fortune, his modesty will melt down the snow of Himalayas!!!!

‘Appearances are often deceptive’ will suit none better than him. His cute, small and fair face spells innocence, but his eyes have an arresting intelligence. The wrinkles of humor are visible in the corner of his eyes. He’s not tall but his body gives him an air of youthful energy and his complexion and face resembles that of the British.

The pre-Chigoor events in his first year of Bitsian life brought him into limelight. With “Hum kisi se kam nahi”, “Humko kisi ka darr nahi” attitude he asked girls for some of their belongings and later it costed him a lot at home. This person with such a grand image was a terror among the Mandal juniors. An encounter with Akbar Kamal during the fresher period was considered a direct appointment with Yamraj. His heroics of the ragging period traveled as far as 1200 km to his home town Nagpur. It gave a new topic to his relatives to talk about and made him a centre of attraction among them.

This man with grandiose vision and big bang ideas ushered HDC into a new era. Any director will be delighted to have a talented and versatile actor of his caliber in his kitty. He played any role to perfection. He did his debut direction with a bunch of new inexperienced actors. Not one or two but as many as 8 people made their debut in that play. Akbar along with pratyush trained and developed this new crew like a potter shaping the pots.

He was the pioneer of many great and innovative ideas during his psenti sem. The idea of a HDC website was put forward by him only which was later brought into reality by Raheem and Naphade. You will be astonished to know that the present HDC yahoo group was started by none other than Akbar. A trip to Bikaner Jaiselmer with 29 people on board was the first feat of its kind in the history of HDC. The memories of that trip are still cherished by people. He gave people a new way to enjoy the life in the desert. He brought in a new Josh, enthu among people with jogging sessions to the deserted gliding club on Sundays. With the aim of increasing unity and bonding among the club members he commenced the cake cutting sessions. Not to leave behind the studies, he along with Naresh started the sky ghotting sessions for the group studies in the natural and fresh air of SKY.

Arranging the cast to prod treat in Oasis resort was his another triumph. Bringing out a HDC T-shirt for another idea of his master mind. Due to his efforts and pain, the first lot of HDC t-shirts was out during his Psenti sem. Even after passing out, his master mind was continuously at work. He was mainly instrumental in starting various games on Orkut and another various set of new games and ideas.

Akbar is a die hard rock fan and a rocking head banger. His head banging skills made him him a favorite among the seniors. His passion for rock may be said to be in his genes with his father also a rock fan. A totally unique way of laughing peculiarises Akbar. One can identify him distinctly by his giggles, one in a millions.

After passing out from BITS he started off with the aim if MBA. So he kicked off the CAT preparation on a high note with part time duty in his own factory. But after he realized IIMs weren’t meant for him, he switched to a new campaign, an internship in Japan. This time he successfully got the internship along with a scholarship. At the end of 6 months, as expected, Akbar was of the view that the training was useless. During the internship period itself he went to work for a new aim GRE. So now he is all set to go and rock in US or CANADA.
