is everything ok

Every now and then i keep lookin back .. thinking about the time i've spent in IIMC ... the classes , the studies, the hostel life, parties, the bakar sessions etc etc ... coming here was surely the high point of my academic life ... but is the time spent here a high point of my life ???

no doubt that each and every moment spent in IIMC is a near-life experience ... absolutely rocking ... but then is the time spent on right things ... m i really doin what i shud be doin .. m i doin what any gud B-school grad shud be doing ... i had 5 classes yesterday ... the first one at 8 in the morning ... we usually do not have classes that early but the prof is a visiting prof so class was rescheduled .... what do we end up with ... sleepy souls barely listening to what the prof was teaching ....

there r many other things which i believe shud not be happening at a B-school .. but they r very much here and elsewhere .... i have read blogs of ppl from other IIMs who are not convinced with the way the 2 yrs at IIM are planned, atleast on the academic front ... too many courses .. little feedback and a mad rush for jobs and CGPA ... not to forget the surprisingly high levels of time, bandwidth and disk space spent on 'entertainment' ... whatz wrong (if at all anything is wrong) .. the system , the people or my mynd that is just not ready to accept things the way they are...

the question lingers ....

Akele hain ....

V day has some strange effect on people ... most of my friends know that there is no way i can have a girl friend .. they know that any sane girl will not waste her time on me ... still they go ahead and ask me with a naughty smile on their face .. 'kya plans hain' .. they have been asking this for yrs now and know the answer also ... some things dont change .. do they ...

I can c some couple in campus already in V day mood ... and lot of V day wishes floating on IP messenger (IIMC internal messaging) by guys who don have that some special to wish ... I read somewhere that archies is expecting a 5 crore rupee sales of cards (goodies excluded) for V-day ... if we add gifts n choclates n flowers n dinners ... and yes the phone calls and SMSs ... the figure wud be staggering ... so for many ppl ... this day brings more of their first love .. money .

my V day will be spent asking ppl to fill a survey form for my marketing research project .. i guess lot of frustrated guys n gals waiting for their someone special for that special evening will be my target respondents .. if u c a seeda sada boy on streets of calcutta being beaten up by mob .. don assume that hez a over enthu majnu .. he mit be a poor chap from IIMC out to get his project completed .. wish me luck guys .. i need to get those forms filled ...

for others .. enjoi the V day ... and do fill up my survey form .. ciao

ps : one of my friends wrote - 'Realize that V day is ONLY a commercial holiday. It is NOT about love and relationships. It is about selling flowers.\, candy and diamond jewlery. Think of all the money you r saving'

one more time ....

yet another attempt to keep the blog rolling ....

m in my 3rd term ... close to 43% MBA .... this time has passed in a flash ... i've started calling my days at IIMC a near-life experience ... there r so many things that i did here for the first time ... like going to library ... before u form any opinion let me warn u that i don study much ... i go to the library 2-3 times in a term ... my sidey goes more often than that in a week ...

another thing is ... dancing till the wee hours of the morning in the Quad parties ... with all the party animals of joka .. some high some not so ... the parties here are one the most cherished things ....

seems the inertia is too high n i really cant think of anything more to write ... may be it'll take sm more posts to really get the blog goin ... lets c if i can keep it alive ...
