Hi everyone. So here I am writing a post after a long time. Had my first taste of exams in MAIT this week [and it wasn’t quite pleasant as I am about to tell]. Seems as though my luck had left me for the entire week. Paper: 1 I reached late [as in REALLY late] so I missed of my paper. Paper: 2 Injured my right hand right outside the college [which resulted into a startling revelation for me: my God-forsaken college doesn’t have a medical centre]. Paper: 3 it went fine but something got into us and we went to a mall in Rajouri Garden. Paper: 4 The previous day’s incident had a profound effect on it [just a complex way of saying that I am not going to make it]. Paper: 5 Attempted without any book or notes. Paper: 6 Fell asleep “studying” for it [and also during the paper]. Paper: 7 [and the last one, for now] Now this was the only paper that I think I did well in [It WAS an English paper].
The week before this had nothing interesting in it for me to write on [again I had gone for only two days]. Except for perhaps the fact that these were the only two days we didn’t bunk a single class [it was about time we got serious]. And I almost forgot about the movie. After Paper: 7, the 10 of us loaded up in a Versa and went for a movie [which was Rock On, a Hindi one after a long time for me]. It was a pretty awesome movie, and would have truly made our day had it not been for the bomb blasts in Delhi [AGAIN]. Looks like Diwali is gonna come a lot earlier this year… Well that’s it for now… gotta run…

A point to make first, this is the 100th post on zhagdoo. So congrats to all.
The HR summit is a thing of past now, and the college has moved ahead. Something or the other is always happening here and there is plenty to talk about. For instance the college celebrated our DG’s birthday today. Well I don’t think it is the right place to comment on it, nor I have the right comments to make about it, so let us leave it for the time being. But let me take this opportunity to talk about one phenomenon which came to my notice during the HR summit itself. It is about the dressing for a formal event in a B school.

Looks like this is going to turn into a fortnightly series…well better get started then.
As you might have guessed, the last two weeks were full of boredom and lots of bunks. Boredom, because I personally can’t handle a routine. I need to have a change every now and then else I just go crazy [You can ask any of the fellow writers here, they know it pretty well]. So, I went for the only known way of changing your life in college, bunks. Every day, our group of around 10-15 guys would skip the last class [which was just a TUT] and play cricket [not my game, but the only option available in MAIT], which is in fact time well spent. After a couple of days, we started playing with some first year students [who looked like super-seniors] from BBA [our college is actually a campus, comprising MAIT and Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Management Sciences] , who weren’t exactly good at it. But something made them believe that they are better than us and thus resulted in a bet. After losing two times in a row, the BBA-wale started acting up, and that was the end of our mini-series with them. Read the rest of this entry »

Before I [again] start banging my head about Asia’s biggest and largest B school, one point to make about my writing, they are way to long. If the post or speech which you are making is long then people tend to lose interest, no matter how interesting it is [afterall it’s not a novel or a movie]. It should be as short and crisp as possible. The realization came after reading ‘Sid’ [most of the columnists and articles which I read before that, were like never ending log books] and after attending the recently concluded ‘5th Global HR Summit’ at our college [not by choice but by compulsion, faculty tried to threaten us by every written and unwritten code and by telling us to face grave consequences if we missed it. But I actually wanted to see as to what they had to offer]. There the most interesting speeches were those which lasted for 5-10 minutes at max, so an important lesson learnt.

Ah my third post…I hoped to make it a weekly ritual to write here, but since nothing much happened last week [mainly because I went to college for only 2 days], so I skipped a post. But one interesting incident did happen, which is that I carried out my first bunk of college [and certainly not the last], and was ragged [for the fifth time] right outside my classroom [talk about irony]. This time, I was made to run around screaming at the top of my lungs, “Baad aa gayi” (it’s flooding). Read the rest of this entry »
