There is something in the exam time that makes you wanna write. Anything to keep you outta reach of books. Well, its been a really long time since I've posted. A lot of events are bound to get missed from being posted here, cuz the past one month have been equivalent to one year. So much happening with time moving so fast, life's never the same anywhere else. We had Varshasva - A sports event for the first time in IIML. It was a grand success. We had Jashn '08 and I got to participate in a group dance competition as a part of Randomwalk - the choreo club of IIML. We won the second prize. It was an amazing experience with late night practises (and by late night I mean 8:00 pm to 4:00 am) and lot of fun. Unfortunately I could not be a part of an event 3.4 (the music band of IIML of which I am a part too) participated in. They performed at the Genesis Club in Lucknow. It was a huge success and the proceeds of the event will be donated. I really wished be a part of it but had my own reasons for not doing so. Now I'm waiting eagerly for one of the biggest management festivals of India - Manfest in January, where I'll finally get to perform as a part of both the clubs. It sure will be an amazing time.
That's where the fun part ends. Nowadays, we are really busy filling up forms to companies. So many forms with so many essay type questions, its hard to not get mad filling up all of them. Well, I'll talk more about them in later posts. For now, our midterms are going on. Yesterday we had two papers - Economics II and Marketing Management I. I hardly studied for them but fortunately managed to give a decent paper. The Eco paper was not very good for most of the people save the question that came repeated from the last year's paper. The people who hadn't studied the last year's paper were really angry at having lost such a golden opportunity. Makes me think of the engg. days where previous question papers used to be THE course. Anything which was not asked earlier was considered out of course. Some days they were. Today we had the Financial Management Paper and what a paper it was too. Most of the students could be seen calculating their quiz, assignment, CP and project marks in order to get the amount of marks they needed to get in this paper to pass (not get a D or an F). Many were very dejected and kept yelling about how stupid the paper was. To let out a little secret, complaining is our favourite hobby here. We got so many things to complain about that there exists no other passtime as effective in both entertainment as well as stress relief as complaining about everything that exists in this place. Well, I can only wait and watch to see how bad or worse I've done my paper (yeah, this time there ain't no good). Tomorrow, we again have two papers - Designing Work Organizations and Operations Management II. Haven't started anything yet. Will start at around midnight and study till 6:00 am (if everything goes as planned). Otherwise I'm done for. Okay, I'm gonna start cuz it's midnight already ! Hope I'll write soon again !
