It was an eve of entertainment, music, 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.
