Hey Guys,
thanks for the warm welcome. I certainly am looking forward to meeting you people whenever I come to India next after Dec 2006 Rudra- month not fixed. Great to meet another OC Ajmat. in response to Rehaan and Beeman, I be more than happy to share my experience. I know how frustrating it can be to pursue an auto styling programme if one is not made aware of the opportunities available. Dreams can and will come true if one has the attitude, perseverence and courage to follow them with action. No fairy tale - my personal experience so far. The need to be clear and have a time frame though for faster processing.

I had done an MSc. Engg programme (1 year) of Coventry University offered at M.S.Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies - Bangalore, but just joined the School of Art and Design here at Coventry last Oct 2005. So have been here for only 6 monhs now and still building up my portfolio. So will post sketches in due course when I feel they are good enough to post. Some others I can't as we are working on industry projects as a part of our programme right now and have therefore signed a confidentiality agreement with the company.

A good start for auto design aspirants is to take a peak at www.cardesignnews.com . Incidently Mr. Nick Hull an editorial contributor of this unique site happens to be our programme manager for the M.A. programme here at Coventry University. In my class of 15 there are people from UK of course, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Italy, Checz and Poland - quite an international flavour. The B.A programme has a fair smattering of Indians though in various batches in each of the 3 year batches.

Having worked briefly at Tata Elxsi in the area of ALIAS Class A surfacing I can say that Indians like anyone else can certainly beat the best if they put their energies into it. It is just that many experience an initial disadvantage when it comes to international exposure, their confidence levels and maybe an unnecessarily disempowering awe of the western auto design scenario.

The programme is very demanding and schedules very tight, so dunno how regular i'll be in the discussion threads, will put in the effort where I can. Certainly looking forward to knowing and getting close to the Team bhp family. I'll be more than happy to share my experiences so far if they can even help even one person move ahead in life.

Be well and happy motoring folks...

Cheers!!!
Ramesh
