dance and fashion, and an entirely new experience for the
contestants, as they say. The Thinking Man was unearthed at
Kamaraj Hall and the audience witnessed a bunch of young
professionals at their best, shooting out their answers to
win the crown of Bajaj Pulsar Man 2002. The final round
question was "Behind every successful man, there is a
woman, they say. Is there a man behind every successful
woman". M R Vikram from Chennai bagged the crown Bajaj
Pulsar Man 2002 for his simple and well framed answer - "A
man and woman, both are the same and no one is better than
the other. Without man or woman, evolution of the human
race would stop. Without each other, they are just empty
vessels and the world as we know would come to an end. So
they have to depend on each other and it's the way God
intended". Dhruv Singh from Mumbai and Harsha Nair from
Chennai won the first runner up and second runner up
respectively.
Out of the nine contestants, the
final six were selected based on the first two rounds. the
first round had a common question to all the contestants of
which they were informed earlier. "Given the power and
authority, What are the things you would like to change
about India"? The nine contestants came out with practical
and feasible solutions. The second round was Rapid Fire
Round where the contestants were put on a hot seat and 10
questions from the topic of their own interest was fired to
them. The topics of the contestants varied from aviation to
