My first blog from this place is coming out 2 months after i joined....just a hint of how much i have been busy...but let me take you through the journey till now....
First week : Hell was put to shame.....we were working 24x7....tuchchas giving us gyaan on various activities on campus, classes, we had our famous 'HR Assingment' and so on and so forth...we took our time to settle in...if anyone who survives in this week...he's almost guaranteed to last the 2 yrs (including the 4-5 quiz week that we had)...
End of the first week, our tuchchas gave us fresher party...our first very famous ramp party in A...the one that set the tone for the 3 those followed...
Then first month passed by without even realising...new frienships developed...study groups were fun...with sometimes low capacity utilization....we got ourselves familiar with the enviroment and how things work and all that....just to give an idea...in a recent big consult student interaction...one of the alumni asked us how many hrs we worked per week considering 5 day a week (though we worked quite a lot during weekends as well) during our first month at IIMA....40 hrs...no responses...40-50 hrs...no response...50-60 hrs...again no response....greater than 60 hrs...and 170 odd hands were up...so if you can get through IIMA Term I...you can definately do good for yourself in the so called hot jobs...hopefully not hot cargos ;) and all....
Now coming back to the first month...one of the most important part of a WIMWIan is his dorm and the dorm name that he/she gets...the tradition of dorm names is almost as old as WIMWI itself. Your dorm name is your new identity on campus...the tradition is so strong that as you go for your internships and join a company after finals...your IIMA bosses ask you your dorm names and you might be called by that name for your whole of career...Windy Banga (HLL) is called Windy (his dorm name) in his office...so popular is his name is that recently our eco prof referred to him as Windy Banga...
Anyways....i was rechristened as FREEZO....sorry cant tell you why.......CCCFs are kept within the dorms....
Dorm naming Ceremony
Mid Terms: These are the chill times when we dont have to go to classes and mug for next day...if you are conceptually clear...of course..i had to mug for Eco and Qm... ;)...CCCFs of these subjects were somewht not so clear for me...
Then...came the Talent Nite...immediately after mid terms....the very next day......what days were they....how many ties were formed and how strong we stood together...those 4 nights taught us to remain together and fight together...
Practising before the 1st night of Talent nights
I danced thrice in 2 days...on stage...something i never did in my entire life !!! (college jams are not to be included)...and walked in Fash P....and played dhol for the tempos...all my friends and juniors died on hearing this...some of the shock and some by laughing hard and bursting their heart in the process...but that was fun...we were down after 3rd night...many shoulders down...tuchchas cheared us up....we had put up a fabulous show on first two days....but we came back together and put up a worthwhile performance for the fourth nite...we lost but i dont think that was ever the motive of talent nite...i mean yes...winning would have been a great...but all we knew that we tried hard and together and that's what matters...
and in the end...afer several attempts....and 5 times leaving this blog mid way, partly due to procrastination and due to assingments, WACs etc..i am able to publish this now..
