I really enjoyed the journey through ur pics, althogh i have my own collections of manipal pics you have added a new dimension and thanks for not being critical abt this place as most of the passed out guys are
Safvi, amazing pics! Definitely brings back memories of the years in Manipal. I thought I'd never say this while I lived in Manipal-but I really do miss the place and all the people I met out there!!
Hi Safvi

Hi
Awsome pictures. It remided my mnipal day, but it was quite different than what its in pictures. I am proud to be a mnipal student.
Nice pics....Heard of Manipal a lot yet to visit it,... now seeing these snaps makes me more longing for it.....Nice work
Salaam aleykum,
Excellent effort. The photos are well taken and practically drip of nostalgia. Takes you back - No matter how you felt while you were there, I dare anyone *not to miss Manipal. Keep it up, Insh'Allah. There must be plenty more in the bag.

hey syed,
good to know that you are keepin the manipal spirit going.
GREAT!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS...SAF
THE ARIEL PICTURES ARE AMAZING..
ALSO TIGER CIRCLE BY NIGHT LOOKS STUNNING..
YOU HAVE DONE TO MANIPAL WHAT BHANSALI DID TO DEVDAS...MADE IT SIMPLY BREATHTAKING!!
ALL THE PICS ARE WOW!
I passed out from Manipal with Safvi and a lot has changed since then. These photos are truly breathtaking and i happened to have the luxury of visiting manipal this past year. Trust me the photos hardly do justice to the picturesque manipal that it is today. Great Job Safvi. Keep it up
dear syed safvi
dont think i know you personally. i graduated in 1993 and MS ophthal in 1998
you have absolutely no idea what your pictorial journey meant to me.
let me just say it one word, amazing.
havent been to manipal since 1998 after spending a decade of good times there and i for one couldnt believe how things have changed over the past 8 years(wow..guess i qualify for being ancient!)
but hey great stuff congratulations and keep up the enthusiasm
Best
prashant bhatia
for the record, I was the Hostel committee jt. sec and literary & dramatics sec on the students council in 1991(i think or maybe 1992.. arvind venugopal was the president)
It is really a wonderfull job. The main photo is really nice and they can put it in the main page of the web (www.manipal.edu). Find a link in manipal web page. Thanks for showing MANIPAL to the world.
Good Luck

I checked out the link and I agree with Prashant, that is not the place we graduated from! But, to have studied in that kind of a set-up, wow! Would have been fantastic!
the pictures were jus awesome. sadly i dont think i will recognise manipal when i get back...but well
looks like everything has changed for the better though.
Dear Safvi Sahib - A very interesting travelogue, indeed, of Manipal.
My grandson is studying at Manipal; I was there in February 2004, but did not see as much as from this website.
Thanks.
awesome pics man ! looks like u really spent a lotta time in this... good work, nice to look at manipal once in a while...
Good job mate. Keep up the good work. I look forward to see more of such great pics. All the best. N can I just make a request here. Is it possible(If at all) for yu to add few pics of the old buildings and places like Nehru block etc. It might add another star to such a brilliant constellation!!
Congrates and good luck

Gr8 work doc!!
I am Jagat J Saikia... but u can call me jjs... currently into my final year of MBA in TAPMI.
While going through your photos of Manipal I was experiencing many emotions... but i can assure you that it was an interesting photographic journey nevertheless. After seven months or so... we'll leave this special place called Manipal... but the memories will remain forever!!
Thanks for your superlative efforts... and please try to update the photos. Moreover, i've forwarded the URL of ur blog to many of my friends so that they can get an idea of what Manipal is!!
Nice site Syed. This site is awesome especially the inspired by cash(Life) next to the mortuary. Truly brings back those days.
I know that student life is gr8. But the staff life for some is pathetic. You know a picture paints a thousand words. Youve painted just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG here. (COM MED)
Try to give it a truly HOLISTIC picture.
Sexy pics
Brings back lots of memories and heartaches
Thank god I left the place early.

Superb effort well I am not a student in manipal but I love the as much as students studying there.within a span of 2 years I have visited manipal 6 times & I jus wanna keep on visiting the place again & again.
May god bless u
I think your effort is superlative ,not just in artistic terms but also emotionally. I especially enjoyed the elaborate and interesting comments you made along with the brilliant photographs of Manipal that is dear to our hearts.
Hello Syed,
It was a very pleasant journey back to my old good day at Manipal through your pictures. I am surprised how much Manipal has changed in the last ten years. I was kind of saddened to read about the closing of Video Cinerama (VC).
Thanks for your endeavor.
Amit
a gr8 piece of work.. keep it up!!

AMONTH BACK I LANDED WITH AJOB IN MANIPAL UNIVERSAL FROM DELHI. YOU HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC WORK WHICH MADE ME RE-THINK THAT THIS WAS NOT A BORING AND LOUSY LITTLE TOWN.THIS HAS ALL THAT AN INTERNATIONAL STUDY CITY HAS AND YOU HAVE ONLY REAAFIRMED THAT BELIEF. THANKS A LOT SRINATH .P.S.
What a wonderful feast for the eyes,a lovely trip down memory lane and the only way that those of us who left Manipal long ago can visit the precious places again and again.
Thank you for the pictures!Keep them coming!
Wow.. it felt nostalgic going thro' the photographs. Its amazing that we used to say that this place changes so fast and no wonder going thro' the photos it looks all new Manipal from what we left behind in 2003.
Cheers
Hey thanks for all the pictures... I went a nostalgic journey as i went through the pictures.
Hi,really nice photos...i particularly liked the aerial shots...anyway i think the pics would make anyone who hasnt been there to want to go to the real place...ever considered an alternative career as a tour guide?:)
Really enjoyed the photographs.Am now doing professional photography after graduating in KMC in the early Eighties. Everythings changed
KMC in our days also had its own identity. Anyway great job.
I graduated in 1998. The changes in KMC are unbelievable. The pics are awesome.
Great job with your site!!
Would recommend more pictures inside classrooms, and inside popular places like Dollops, Snack Shack etc..
Wow, mate. That was cool. I might be going there this year...and your album helped me a lot. Thanks and good job!
wow excellent album, shows what i can expect when i go to Manipal! thanky ou soooo much, pretty much covers all my questions and much more.
