Ode to a Quiz

I came, I saw,
I noticed, I awed,
I tried and failed.

And now I repeat what I always said

I lost, I lost…. Its time I fade………....

(dedicated to events of a certain tuesday, when I needed to PRAY)

The Search............

I am still confused whether the idea of being chilled out as usual, this week end was all that great. Nearly twelve hours from now, I am going to have to reply to questions, which I fear reading, leave alone solving. Easiest way out is to run to the nearest GHISSU of your floor…….
Ummmm lemme see…….
KC is out for snacks…………
Ritesh is at that dreaded, omniscient establishment called library……….
Amitabh, of course is at LH-1………….
Amit is still having adventures of his own……….
This must be the end!!! :(
But lo!!!
Whose this??? the savior himself……….


I have achieved salvation.
Rajdeep ………..here I come.

Xcllent !!!

It's 4-00 am. I'm awake, not drunk, and discussing Carnatic music with a good friend in TSTMR. Tonight, we started 08-10's very own Bodhi Three. B3 is a collaboration of three guys who can't sing to save their lives, but have what it takes- enthu!! :D Rock on, B3!!!

Time flies...

I have no sense of day, date, or time left. :P All I know is I last wrote here long ago, and I don't know when the next time will be. :) But yeah, as arrowhead says, "Shit happens"

many ppl gone for their outbound programme...
no classes... though 3 quizzes next week..
so lot to study...
If I plan well I probably can sleep for 6 hrs a day for 3 days ... indeed I am a dreamer :D

a roller coaster ride,
a common XL day.

Cheers !!!

Tht Thing called sleep!!!

The thought of writing something here suddenly vanished my sleep , which was dominating my senses since the last 1 hour .Studied a "single page " of Factories Act in tht hour :) .Wat an irony !!!

Bummer!!

Suddenly, there seems to be so much to do!! Mid-terms, assignments, projects, quizzes....all round the corner. ARGHHH!!!!!

The heat is on...

Got a taste of 4 lectures in a day. :( Tomorrow, we have 5 of them. The probability of getting kicked out of class for sleeping seems to get higher and higher. :-

XLRI book of records

Went for trekking yesterday (Dalma hills).Came completely exhausted (given that I hadn't slept for the last 35 hours :)).Slept for 12 hours continuously and entered the "hall of fame" of longest "sleepers" at XL.
Conclusion :No matter how much u sleep the previous nite ;u'll still reach late for the next morning class :P .

Day -30-31(12th-13th July,2008)

Got introduced to informal committees (like JMAXI, COWBAXI and also OMAXI ). Completed a month at XL and went trekking to Dalma hills ... man I am tired and I have so much to do .. for that surprise quiz we all are expecting tomorrow :(.

SACked!!

Lost the student affairs council (SAC) elections (narrowly) yesterday...but I'm trying to treat it like a blessing in disguise...maybe I will end up being a 6-pointer, instead of as a 5-point-someone. :P

Day -18-29(29 June-10th July,2008)

So again ... it's been a long time..since I was here..seems like the initial adrenaline is dying down ..but I just hope to take some more people on-board(Sauron aka Sumit is already here) so that this blog can be more regular.Now that we are done with niceties ..let's talk some business :).

It's been an eventful period ..(though I am not sure, which period is not when you are at XL ..Never Mind :D ).Seniors organized a simulation for MAXI fair, all the juniors were divided into teams and assigned some senior mentors. Then they were given a product name, our job was to think of a product(which can be anything, as long as it is cool and whacky ;) ) and have to devise a marketing strategy and design a marketing campaign for it.All done by students !!! XL was our canvass and we painted it in all the colours possible :D

We also had O3(Oracle of Omaha- a stock trading simulation game where the team which would make most money will win.For a financial illiterate like me it was a tremendous learning experience.We participated in FLOOR TRADING !!! Which I guess was quite a simulation of real life.

My team lost :(.

but my friend won and now we are all gearing up for the party that we will eventually wiggle out of him ;).

At XL, we all win ... one way or the other !!! :D

C Ya later.

XL!

At 1.40 am, where else would you find a set of Indians (seniors and juniors alike) from all corners of the country, gathered in a room in Jharkhand, cheering a Spaniard and a Swiss? Where else? At XL, of course!!!
