It's over officially!!!

Last class....then last exam and finally last assignment submission.....and this brings an end to this academic life for getting the tag of an MBA (or shall I say PGDBM).

This entire term has been an extended holiday for most of us, with 2 subjects, minimal classes......but yeah, the official holiday begins now.

The scene gets repeated year after year. Last year, for IlluminatiX's newsletter, I had written the following piece in Jan.-Feb., which holds so true for our batch too.

Whtzzzzzzzuppppppppp….

Funny headline; isn’t it. Well, this is the favorite line of our great seniors right now. After the dream placements and hardly 2-3 electives in the VI term, they’ve become really vella. On this stage of self-actualization (Maslow must be wondering at the pace our seniors have attained that stage), there’s an ongoing quest to look for ways to kill time. So, it’s time for innovating new games like ‘I Haven’t A Clue’ (sounds interesting,right), watching 4 movies a day, pop quizzes and if nothing else than bugging winpop with ‘Whtzzzzzzzzppppppppp’ . And yeah one thing that they really enjoy is giving us strange looks when we poor souls attend 5 classes a day.

Well, every dog has its day.....

But yeah, amidst all this have also started parties, picnics and get-togethers to make these days memorable and more importantly to cherish the friendships that started and bloomed at this home away from home.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, people have started packing up. Some are going to explore the natural beauty in North-east, Uttaranchal, Goa, a few are going home.....and a small chunk is staying in hostel till Convo. Yours truly falls in the last category.

Looking for ways to make these last few days full of masti and enjoyment.......ne suggestions ??

Klub 'D I V A' !!!

Wondering what the title is?? Well, it’s that part of the year when marketing is afloat in the air of XIMB, thanks to MAXIM. Yup, it’s time for Maxinations, the 3-day event that revolves around branding, advertising, brand recall etc. etc.

It starts with giving a fundoo name to your block and portraying the same in the ‘Block Intro’. And so, Klub ‘DIVA’ is the name of our block(RMH or Ladies’ Hostel).

The event is up in full swing…..for even right now, at this time in the morning, an interesting competition ‘Global Gab’(it involves getting into the shoes of certain infamous personalities like Khuswant Singh, Aman Verma and adressing the audience) is going on.

So, to keep an account of Maxinations, keep visiting.

Bonne Nuit! (well that’s 'Good Night' in French…as the exam has just got over y'day, so the hangover remains :) )

HOME away from home..

A 10 days’ break full of leisure time, good food (becomes so imp. after staying in hostel), socializing and relaxing…..for I had been to Kanina, my mother’s maternal grandparents’ place to attend a wedding. And the entire trip was really great.

Here I am, back to this HOME away from home. The last few days here would be full of action…MAXINATIONS, end terms, farewell….so on and so forth.

As we move to the next phase of our lives, the memories will linger. From status messages to the blog posts…..this is what is on everyone’s mind…..how much we’re gonna miss this place!
