One Term is gone like a zoooom!!

It was June 22 when I stepped into the revered walls of IIMB with loads of dreams and aspirations in my eyes and I am happy to see that all of them are still alive and the passion is still firing with all guns to achieve them. The rigour academic pressure had tried to put many dents in the firm will but it finally ended in just testifying the strength of the same. Zillions of assignments, surprise quizzes, tests, and presentations have just helped in sharpening my jaws which are hungry to bite more of learning everyday.

First of all I am sorry to all my readers to whom I have promised that I will keep them updated about my life @IIMB as I had done during my work at Google. Well, when I entered IIMB, I knew that’s its going to be tough but I never knew that its going to be so hectic. At the same time, I never knew that its going to be filled up with so much fun. More I worked harder, more I had reasons to enjoy and live every single moment to the fullest. Be it the BHASAD of our sec A guys on nay random topics or be it the fruitful project and assignment discussions, it was always good to see be surrounded with such bright minds of the country. Everybody here is GOD in some way or the other and has a lot to offer to learn from: Be it through the CP(Class participation) or be it through their enlightening presentations or be it any arbit chat on any random topic. Godly profs giving awesome gyan to sleepy chaps with full CP enthu was a scene of almost every class. The system is so strong that it forces you to question yourself and your abilities and in the process prepares for the bigger challenges of the future. But yea sometimes in this strong system and hectic schedule, you tend to ask yourself: are you at the right place? Are you doing a right thing? Are you still focussed? But then suddenly you realise that you are nearing another sacrosanct deadline which you cant afford to miss and you postpone the answer to these questions by one more day.

After every L^2, we used to think that we wont waste time on the next one and would try to do some mugging, but the sound of the rocking DJ and frequent pings on Bracket(internal messenger) used to pull me out to forget all the tensions with a beer and some leg shaking.

Some unforgettable events: Well so much has happened in the three months but still some few hand picked events that will remain much closer are :

1. First week – full of fun and thrill and the best welcome that we could have expected.

2. The first L^2

3. The first placu party…Hail PRs

4. First movie at the theatre with secA guys

5. Bhasads with VBLs

6. Daily JPR meetings

7. Hooshings at bday parties

8. Submitting the Finacc project 2 minutes before the deadline

9. Night out before two exams on next day and then running for my flight back to home and thus not sleeping continuously for 40 hours and just 6 hours in the last 3 days

It was really nice to have a vacation where I slept for more than 60% of time and now its another term, another round of screwing but with fun :)

P.S: The words in italics come from IIMB lingo and I am sorry if you are not able to decipher the same
