Offloading GYAN!!! - Yagga
Folks, it’s that time of the year again. This forum was not in place last year. Thank God for that. The last thing we needed in the midst of our PAT bashing frenzy was some fuckall senior giving us Gyan.
Unfortunately this instrument is in place this year and Adi’s asked me to write for the mag and so here goes…
Adi’s brief to me was to write to either the juniors or write about summers, I decided to go with the former. In addition to this he asked me to make the write-up as funny and whacked out as possible… I can’t possibly achieve either after the circus show you guys managed to witness in your 2 weeks of induction!!! I’m guessing you guys got to experience Mr. “cho chweeth” 1st hand, what more can a bunch of 180 students in their 1st week in B-School ask for by way of entertainment… Listen folks I’m not trying to be disrespectful out here, I mean you should give the man his due. He’s after all from IIM A with a diploma in Agri-Business Management… No wonder he’s so terrific with field work!!!
Anyways getting down to the more serious stuff in life… By now you guys must have realized what a fuckall decision you’ve made in your choice of B-School (School being the operative word – Wednesdays Formals, don’t drink coffee inside the class, smoking and consumption of alcohol prohibited inside the campus!!!, stand up when the teacher comes to class… the list is endless), still SIBM’s actually not that bad a place to be in. After a point of time the place actually grows on you, almost the same way a malignant tumor does. You realize that there’s a lot more to this place than the college - there’s NCC, Coffee Day, E-Square, one another’s places, lots of the green stuff (both consumable and non-consumable varieties). For the guys of course there’s Law College, Arts and Science college and for those in C-Div the Girl’s Hostel when you look out of the window in the middle of a class (Let’s face facts the guys to girls ratio is kinda screwed here… That’s one of the reasons why I’m writing this article, in the vague hope that one of the girls from the junior batch would find it vaguely funny and decide to ask me out for fresher’s… I’d still much rather go with a girl than be a guy who has to be asked out by another guy from the Junior batch because he’s run outta girls from the Senior batch)!!!
You guys must be in the middle of totally detesting PAT right now… A word of advice folks don’t detest them so much. They have to do the dirtiest of jobs in this college and don’t get rewarded for it. So when they say you need passion to do this work don’t laugh ‘coz you genuinely do need it to stay locked up in a room for 17 - 18 hours in a day and have the Director breathe down your neck and still be hated by your Juniors and peers alike. I’m guessing most of you’ll realize this with time. I’m just shocked that one of your own batch mates who’s seen last year’s PAT 1st hand can’t figure out things are different this time around (No offense meant Appu).
Now down to the classes… I’m guessing one of your favourite subjects must be Current Affairs taken by our very own in-house Indiana Jones. Most of you would faithfully be sleeping in classes with your eyes wide open thinking about how you can extend those relationships built during outbound to the classroom. Give it time folks… The rains are here and will stay for at least another 2 months, the weather in this city can be pretty fucked up at times, but it provides the perfect setting for little boys and little girls (despite the fact that it seems like the average age of your batch is 25) with little crushes to take a walk and then somewhere in the middle of it all to hold hands only to realize much later that in the bigger scheme of things when it comes to relationships in Pune holding hands is the most trivial thing you can do. A word of advice for the ones who’re more gutsy and adventurous – guys and girls alike, wait till the fresher’s night… You’ll notice a coupla drinks makes you feel more capable of taking risks and for the one who’s at the receiving end of this you’ll find yourself more receptive to advances!!!
Guessing I’m just beginning to ramble round about now!!!
Bottom-line folks… you fucked up big time when you decided to come to this college but now that you’re in here have a blast and get out of this place with a fat salary, thanks to PAT, that even you know you really haven’t worked that hard for!!!
Cheers!!! See you at Fresher’s!!!
