About klasses and other things..
Classes at K are a very interesting mix. There was a time when I used to hate attending classes but over here, the classes are so interesting and interactive, that you cant help but sit up and take notice. Be it our accounts prof's wry sense of humour - not to mention the poker face he maintains when he cracks some of the funniest jokes - or our marxist STI prof's hard hitting statements; attending classes is a completely different experience.. its fun! :D
But the past one week has been kind of depressing and hectic. Classes.. presentations.. case studies.. case analysis.. quizzes.. surprise quizzes and many more! I have not slept for more 4-5 hours a day. And the worst part is, you cannot sleep in classes which is quite contrary to what I was practising during engineering. Especially after having been inert for the past 4 years, it is tough to again get back into the "Study-till-I-drop-dead" mode. Anyhoo, apart from academics, we've been treated to 3 parties so far since our induction - our hostel party where we had some social interaction with our seniors, our fresher's party where we had our inter-section competitions and a special "gult" party for people from AP. And believe me, all parties were fun and acted as stressbusters. I guess they make you have fun during the weekends so that you are ready to get screwed during the weekdays. Nice logic! :D
We also had an inter-batch TT competition for which we had selections for the top 4 players from our batch. Although I did get selected to the top 4, we could not put up much of a fight to our seniors, some of who were state level players! Of course, yours truly put up a much better fight than some of his peers. *A rare moment when I get to bask in some limelight* :D In other news, I have applied for the college placement committee. The present members of placecom have assured us that we'll be faced with humungous tasks and would have little time for other recreational activities. Another chance to learn time management! :D
We've got interest groups for almost every sector (like marketing, finance etc.) which are headed by students. And what is impressive is, most of the clubs and interest groups have a very professional way of doing things. They have the kind of charisma which one would normally associate with hotshots. I might seem to be exaggerating but you need to feel it to believe it. Its awesome!
And finally after having delayed for quite sometime, i present this post written on June 17th, 2007. Almost a month.. shucks! I need to blog more frequently.. :-<
The day when it did not rain..

@11:30: yay! Its sunny outside! :D
@14:00: Its a little cloudy.. :-s
@14:30: We decide to go visit the Kappad beach.
And so we did visit the Kappad beach. And before I go ahead with the narration - our seniors had warned us that it was a gay beach. But since we were a huge group, we were bold enough to go ahead with the trip. It was an awesome experience. Some of the girls also joined us. There were around 40 of us and we had loads of fun.
At first, we were quite cautious not to go very deep into the water so as to not wet our clothes. And then one of us slipped and got drenched. And slowly, one by one, we got rid of our common sense and went deep into the water to get drenched. And those who resisted were taken forcibly and drowned in the water until they got fully drenched. The description might look barbaric, uncivilised and unfit for future IIM students, BUT it was fun! :D We did take a few pics with waves lashing against rocks in the background, but then I dont have them right now. So probably one of us might put it in his orkut albums. It is yet to rain.. :D Now thats rare!

PS1: Lately, there have been patches in the timeline when it doesn't rain. Yippee! :D
PS2: Gave a presentation today on meeting etiquettes. Sounds boring but somehow managed to make it interesting and had the class laughing as well! :D
PS3: People here are usually serious and hence getting a few people laugh requires a huge effort.
