Bogeyman cometh ...
The month is still mid-may :the supposedly scorching part of the year.
But Hyderabad I believe has never seen better weather in a millennium.
The days are cloudy,evenings are welcomed by a pleasant shower just enough to tingle your senses. Dusk falls upon you like wet-velvet blanket echoing the calls of peacocks over the vast ISB campus.
AND ALL THIS WITH LESS THAN 36 HOURS TO GO FOR THE END-TERM EXAMS !!! SHUCKS !!!
Despite her best efforts, natures attempt to entice me into appreciating her idiosyncrasies are lost on me as I lay burrowed in my room for the best part of the last 2 days-fervently trying to cram in as much of the past 2 months as possible hoping that I hit the right co-ordinates in my ever-diminishing memory "at the right time".
Assessor Model - Customer Lifetime Value - 5Ps - 4Cs- 100Zs-Cash Flow-Income Statements-Balance Sheets-Product Cost-Financing-Investing-Operations-Betrands Model-Karnouts Model ---What was the first one again aaa yes Assessor Model - Customer Lifetime Value ........
Hmm.... let me see, it has not been all that bad after all, after some frantic last-minute co-ordinations we successfully submitted a Financial Accounting group assignment a couple of minutes ahead of schedule - Courtesy a C.A. in our group.
As is customary in ISB every "occassion" is celebrated with a ceremonious DUNKING session at the swimming pool.
In is an amazing display of sadistic fetish, all of us (5 in a grp of 6) decended on the hapless victims apartment at around 12 midnight (a few minutes after she confirmed the submission) and escoted her to the alter ... It was heartening to see ppl who would kill for a few extra minutes to read economics, volunteer to take an hour out for the fireworks .... Human nature is sure convoluted !!!
While I attempted to photograph the "event", the first attempt led to one of the dunkers falling into the water by accident ... "Shikari Khud yahaan ... Shikar ho gaya" ... With the second attempt ending in successfully hauling her over 6-7 feet into the ppol .... the hounds were baying for more blood .... Given that I was one of the "Virgins" in the group (read ... un-dunked as yet ... you can take the literal meaning too)... my group ended up managing to haul my ass into the 5 feet of water too .... (dont extrapolate on the virgin thing now) !!!
Guess this should be my last post for some time now as tomorrow is hoing to be hell and the next two days I shall be battered and hopefully in one-piece.
Reminds me of the Gladiator Scene when the dudes are standing behind the broad gates not knowing what to expect but cognizant of the deafening roar outside, only thought in mind ..... SURVIVE this one ............
"GUTS N GLORY"
