Editor's Note: Long-time readers of these pages are no doubt familiar with Kabir Sehgal '05, the self-described "serial entreprenuer" and the creative impressario behind The BuzzFlood [see TDR 10/8/03 & 2/7/04]. This summer he debuted a new website, www.kabirsehgal.com. Sadly, it is no longer on-line. Fortunately, we have preserved the text and reprinted it here, verbatim, for your consideration and enjoyment.

BuzzFlood is a "positive underground" group that collects stories of excellence at Dartmouth and then syndicates the stories across the world, in order to let more people know about the peerless Dartmouth education.

In summer 2003, Kabir was named one of the "50 most accomplished second year students in the world" by the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders program. Kabir attended the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Institute in New York and heard from CEOs and Presidents of several respected companies.
