Last Man Standing

Anugya was in charge of an event in the recently concluded Transcend07, the last man standing. Being totally uninvolved in the other events, I decided to give her a hand. This article is a narration of the longest night that I ever spent, and the longest night that I made the participants spend.

After having the participants rogered by Yagga, Alex, Farhan, and Anna on ads they had to make for “Condoms for the Small Man”, they had to solve a case study in finance at nine in the night that was due to a small error on my part, incomplete.

They were released from the torturous case, which I have no clue about still, at some time after twelve. This is when the fun started.

At three, I went to the rooms they were staying and woke them up, in the rudest way possible. The awakening was more along the styles of our own PAT, “Be there in five minutes”. As expected when you wake someone at three, they were not there. I proceeded in the same PAT style, “If you are not interested, we can call this off. We are here slogging out a**es and you are dilly-dallying.”

This was followed by a case study that was, well, a fairy tale. They had to read a four page FAIRY TALE and come up with management concepts at three in the morning. Frankly speaking, if I had to read the same even in the daytime I would have fallen asleep.

At five when they gave in the case study, I made them complete fifteen pushups and run up and down eight flights of stairs with a carton of water, containing twelve kilos of water. One must see the condition that the participants were after this.

The reason that I am narrating all this, is that I want to salute those minds that thought of the event. It takes up a mind of some caliber to think of an event like this where it is really the test of “The last man standing”. Trust me, after that night, not one of the participants were standing.
