MisHappy... UnHaps...

Sunday, August 9, 2009
Long time since we met.. no? Been a month since I came to IIMK... Midterms got over today. Hope I ll scrape through. Someone had promised Mathew sir's movie. No luck... Somewhere someone promised my friends a booze party but that got cancelled as well. Ever since I landed here it's these two words that I constantly keep hearing - 'daaroo' and 'sutta', hindi for 'thanni' and 'dhum'. Consumed apparently for numbing you and taking out your frustrations. I dunno, but I got numb after a look at my ManAc paper. The MC paper was great for taking out whatever frustrations you ve ever had while communicating - whether to the opposite sex or to your boss with a proposal. It's all the same when you get hit in the back of the neck with a stilletto or a size ten shoe in either case.

The next week promises to be fairly easy on the nerves with time allowed for taking a stroll in these salubrious climes. Of course, you have your regular work like case studies, assignements and all but as i said the mind numbs. The best manager is one who can think of what to wear to the evening date, sitting in a board room meeting, solving sudoku puzzles while pretending to read mail (tweets) on her blackberry. Thats what multitasking is about. Btw, that reminds me, this is for all you MBAs and MBA aspirants. The ManAc paper had this gem of a situation:

"They wanted to have some performing animals. However they were told that the environmentalists may object to their plan. ... They remembered two MBAs ... highly impressed with them as 'performers' ... Bongiram thought up an idea. He had a lion and a chimpanzee suit ... agreed they will be given a designation of VP (Primate division) and VP (Forest King division)"

(wince)

Apparently, he holds contempt for us. Which is fair considering the sort of input a few give in the class. I seriously like people who just sleep oblivious to the jungle (wince) out there. This has pretty much been the gist of my stay till now. Lets see what the next day brings...

PS : Expect literature in my next post...

:D....the good thing abt MANAC --> it is relative...u can find solace by asking someone else how their exam was..

Flotsam

It is a sad story.. Looks like everyone has attempted more than me.. Wishing that they get many things wrong...
