One Year stand with ISB

This Blog aims to capture my affair with ISB and beyond.

Location: Hyderabad, India

I promise not to make this a chronicle of events unfolding in ISB or the world in general. These posts will generally qualify those events with my thoughts. At the same time I promise it will be enjoyable :-)

Gossip Gossip

Monday 8 AM - Assignment Submission Deadline

Sunday 11 PM - Our team decides to meet (After enjoying 3 days of the first long weekend of term 3)
Sunday 12 PM - Started work on the assignment. Till then gossipping about the latest going ons and affairs in the campus. Gossipping about who is wooing whom and who got slapped and who got kissed (and possibly got laid???) on campus. Caught up on the status of the affairs which were going strong, like this coy couple who are seldom seen together in campus but go about painting the town red, this bold couple (or were they just hopefulls) having endless discussions in the corridors. Then there was a lot of information interchange on the slapping incident, the kissing incident(s), the rumours proclaiming who is going around with whom and who was successful in wooing the girl in question and who was not so successful, who has a chance and who is on the borderline, what strategies one can use to be successful, why this girl doesnt suit that guy and vice versa, etc etc...

The one thing that surprised me was the fun we were having discussing these juicy tidbits like a bunch of housewives. It was very refreshing. We didnt realise how the time flew and that we had a catch a few winks before we were ready to justify our findings about the case the next day in class.

Sunday 2:30 PM: Dropped the assignment in the drop box and started for home half expecting to bump into the characters we were discussing...

Meanwhile a bunch of my section mates are up in arms over the issue of CP (Class Participattion which is a sizeable % of the overall class grades) in Entrepreneurship. There are lotsa mails clogging my mailbox wet with tears. The prof made a comment at the end of the class which made a lot of hearts bleed. These are the CP kings and queens of the class which never get enough of it. Aw Cmon guys and gals, theres life beyond CP and grades, and expressing your opinions and making your points, whatever. This is a non issue. Its not worth spending a single thot. Focus on Marriott and Donner instead. Chill, take it easy, play it cool and as AA said 'enjoy life' with all the beautiful things!
