Hi Folks,

Bad news is i am putting weight and good news is i will lose weight..
Today morning i was rushing for a ppt when i discovered no Trousers is fitting in but somehow i managed to put on a Tight Trouser and run for life...
This is despite the Pathetic food in mess... There is a Gym near KK Cross and it cost only 275 bucks per month. That Gym is on my radar...gotta join it soon...

Today i overheard 2 juniors arguing about who is better off?? Incampus Guys (IG) or LPG??

For the uninitiated LPG means Laxmipua Paying Guest, situated at a stone's throw from IBA main campus. It houses those guys who could not find place in Incampus hostel bcoz it was filled. May be bcoz LPG guys paid their fees late...yes IBA runs on First come first serve with Money on all matters (Sounds mercenary!!!) so guys dont repeat the same mistake when u opt for single occupancy during second year...

Ok who is having a ball??? IG or LPG???
LETS FIND OUT:

IG can get up at 8.59 AM and reach CP class at dot 9 before he makes a moron out of himself without brushing his teeth...but LPG cant do that . They hav to fore go 5 minutes of his precious sleep in order to be in time.

IG can get any notice from Faculty or Admin first whereas LPG gets later.

IG has Wifi facility LPG dont hav. God Knows WiFi is extensiuvely used for what....Orkut, Messenger, Song download, Mail, Cards etc not in any order... LPG has to slogg here in campus till dawn...thats pathetic but intelligent guys use this oppurtunity to bulid their chances with the fairer sex on the pretext of Meeting for ppt and assignments etc.

IG can catch his lost sleep in between 2 classes ( Lets say there is a break for 1 hour). But LPG cant go back and sleep in his room and come back...So wisdom says LPG should make one Best Friend with an IG and utilize his room for taking a siesta...Moreover he can pass u any urgent info or notice etc.

IG had the luxury from being screwed by seniors during sessions. But the bad effect is all too visibile by the swagger shown by LPG...so throwing caution to the wind i must add senior r thinking of doing something...

LPG on other hand has the liberty to go city and return at 3 in the morning. No questions asked..

LPG can booze , party as on when wished. (The Pics of First party on roof top was amazing.isn't it???)

No seniors to run on ur nerves in LPG.

LPG can ask his frens to come and stay with him without the Admin knowing a shit...

Poor LPG has to clean his own toilets and thats bad.

News paper is unreachable i guess...

Above all one thing that is striking is LPG guys hav a special bond and camaderie bcoz they r away and separate and Minority....Use it judiciously and extract mileage out of this from Admin, Security, Seniors, Faculty whoever.. You hav lot of leeway and u should know how to utilise but all this is not bcoz i was a RPG last year but most of my close buddies were in RPG last year and i had lot of fun with them and continue to do so....


Good sign juniors are coming forward to write up....but DO we need Reservations for Women here???I can call Arjun Singh... or someone will take the lead to script her feelings...

Thats it,

Biswa Prakash,

Just want to say Hiii!!!! to all.

Hi Folks,

Network is down since yesterday night and life at IBA has come to a grinding halt....

Assignments, Presentations, Online Exams Scheduled for today took a sever beating and bY grace of god Online exam was postponed...

I dont know how SCM guys prepared their PPT's without Google???
Google is Lifeline here and i cant see life after Google...

Campus is abuzz with rumours...

Somebody dying , someone being hospitalized so on so forth....

Well for long our Sys Admin had a field day doing only Configuring Laptops, but now he is having a very tough time dealing with the present crisis.. There seems to be a Conflict between IP Address in the netwotk.. That is bcoz of some nerd claiming to be next to Bill Gates..He is beating his chest bcoz he has spoofed network by assigning a static IP address (Non IT guys plz excuse me for this Nerdic Language..) against IBA's Internet Policy..
But his action had strong repercussion as evident by now that Network is completely knocked out.. Lets c what will our Sys Admin do to get things in control....

This is the first major crisis of Systems in IBA and we r pleased or dis pleased to experience it...

No Class scheduled to day so i will better catch some sleep now bcoz gotta attend cosmos in evening then BI ppt is staring to be completed as quickly possible...

Thats it,

Biswa Prakash

Generally speaking I find the response to this thread really poor. IBAians, I feel are traditionally averse to pagalguy, while most B-schools of repute will have the alumni and the existing students in pg. This really helps as the prospective students can really get some fruitful insight from the students - which we were looking for when we were considering the option of IBA. We did not have a single senior to guide us through with the inside stories which we were looking for. In this regard Mr.Biswa Prakash did a commendable job to come forward and start a thread. All students out here have a fascination for Orkut and to some extent Yahoo group but not pg, which is really sort of surprising!! What more we find the thread starter posting everyday with very few coming forward to share their experiences in the thread!! So Mr.Biswa Prakash I gave u a topic. U throw some light on this apathy and this 'paradox'.
This really doesnt showcase our institute well in a public forum like this.

Hi Folks,

Susobhan has just hit the nail on its head…and rightly so..As I have already wrote on this forum that Guys out here love spending time in Orkut but not in PG. People here love hanging around at Gowda rather in Library… By the way Library is like sanctum sanctorum…. Not bcoz u pay 500 bucks for making noise but it is always deserted!!!

As I have wrote here, this thread is for MBA aspirants who dream to be in IIM but eventually find themselves in IBA.. This thread is all about True Mirror of the happenings here, Inside story as they call it, So that they can take a informed decision.. ( Susobhan has pointed this out). But I get lot of threatening as to why I am tarnishing IBA’s image ..AM I???? Culprit goes a begging but one who get it caught is punished…hope u get the message. As long as I am here I will account every detail , my experience here in IBA honestly… may be I make some foe in process…

Susobhan, I can appeal others to share their experience but cannt write for them..i wish I could…I have been suggesting in way pestering others to write in this thread but no one seem interested…. So lets analyze why???

People here don’t like to write…. When they can speak so well why the hell write..
That’s bcoz writing is time consuming and its difficult putting in words what u feel.

Orkut gives u a direct connection or podium where u can establish a interacting relationship with others which is absent in PG… Hopefully this is a hint t PG to redesign their offerings!!!
And most people r in orkut to build friendship and hopefully with opposite sex. And Ladies r few in numbers in PG…

If u compare students of some top rung Bschools with IBA the striking difference is Mental make up… There people hav some agenda and objective. Everything that they do hav some Value addition for which they pursue the act, But here people do what they are doing is bcoz they hav to do it.

Somewhere before I stated people here are smart.. but no one real intelligent… This might be a belligerent statement but this is reality.. I havn’t come across a analytical mortal here. Cut Copy Paste rules the roost… Study is a good time pass and when the whole learning process is so loose how one can expect that they will hav motivation to share xperiences… difficult task cut out.. isn’t it.. Is it rocket science then that Companies come here to offer Sales job where as IIM’s get the Consultancy job.

Moreover people here are so Relationship oriented, no one is really career oriented.. yes its again a hard statement to make but it’s a reality. We just want to finish off 2 years and get through placements.. what is the difference that we r making here in these 2 years???? We want to hav a fling, so called couples here are visible all over the campus… One who doesn’t hav a arm-candy feels dejected… People who know nothing of relationship hav arm-candies to show off… So IBA is good place to scout partners rather than some serious soul searching as to where u want to take our career…

So how will these people find time to jot down their experiences which might benefit others????

Anyways all these observations are my opinion and doesn’t essentially directed towards someone. Everyone is right in what he is doing. He is the commander of his ship. I cant comment whether he is right or not. ( I am knowingly using HE bcoz I know ladies don’t come to this forum at least in IBA).

After all IIM’s are IIM’s not any other Institute!!!
Culture that they hav isn’t built over night but it comes with the mindset that those people carry there. I don’t expect that that will happen overnight here, but if we want we can hav it here. We need a mindset change…

Hopefully the time has come,,,,bcoz i am tired of keeping this thread alive by posting every nite...

Happy Frienship Day,

Biswa Prakash,

dont worry Sir... I am there with u... ur valiant efforts wont go waste. If u see the previous thread of IBA which I started b4 coming to the Campus was really successful though it did take effort, well that was 'networking'. If u see - we have lot of pgs in 06-08 batch than in 05-07 batch, but I suppose whatever u said is contagious so much so that these pgs of our batch also donot find the time to post their experiences even with me informing quite a few of them.:grab:

[susobhan_82]

Coming to a different issue altogether - 06-08 batch is having a lot of classes postponed and cancelled. Can anyone throw some light on the effect and the subsequent result of this on our mid sem. and future..? Seniors can throw some light I suppose.
Also some help required for IT test. Its supposed to be online and objective type. What sort of questions will be asked? How will it exactly happen? it was supposed to be held today(6/8/06) but fortunately or unfortunately got cancelled as the server is down and intranet cant be accessed.
Expecting more seniors to join the forum...

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY TO ALL
