[the.bombardier]

all right lots of faff from the non boozers!! now time for the fun part of mdi from the horse's mouth. by the way good job mufasa n others...
ok my day n that of others at the dome council(on_da_rox, theonly1 prominent ones) starts at night. v have been boozing majorly for the last 9 days...n believe me majorly.
y v r called the dome council is because any parties at the DOME r routed through us now dome is the most happening n sexy place on campus..amazing place to network n socialize,most importantly get sloshed. its the terrace of our hostel n it has a beautiful view.. if ur in mdi n u drink,in all probabilities u would be found here at night..
v have had parties ranging from freshers to a second floor party( which urs truly gatecrashed into with open invitation from the seniors to me specially he he he)
theonly1( saurabh jain's) room is on the entrance to the dome n he is one person ppl r ready to kill to get the room .
ok so i think iv given a preview,more after tomorrow once i get my laptop.

oh before i forget!
830 ki class ho,nahi uthenge mooh me lo!
(thats MDI anthem :wink: )

hail DC (Dome Council)!!
as the.bombardier puts it,it is the place to be in at MDI,if u wanna enjoy lyk hell... invariably,all evenings n nyt outs n non intellectual discussions occur at the dome... not to mention the never ending parties at our hostel...(at least for us!!) ...

After a self-imposed hiatus of 1 month,I am back to my friend,philosopher and guide -PG.
Feeling extremely emotional bcz dis time I am writing dis post as a bschooler,not as an mba aspirant.

Presently in PGHR 2007-09 Batch with an extremely skewed M:F ratio.Everyday while I enter the class,i feel like i have mistakenly entered a kitty party or ladies compartment of khasta local train...(no offence intended)

Speciality of HR batch is students (read galz) are extremely dynamic.Its always flattering to see 30 hands being raised just to answer a question even before it was asked(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

DCP is at its best here.....................................

About mdi,awesome campus..neat,clean and green...... lotsa booze....only catch is hostel is not that great.and awesome student council.simply rocks..

Had 2 surprize quizes 2dy..Bina padke de diya...Ashish yahoo was pretty angry after OB quiz....marketing quiz ke baad kuch nahi bola..

Bye for today........

Finally the feeling of an MBA experience is seeping in. The group assignments and quizzes have started. And this has had an effect on the junta.... a lot of them are seen with dreamy eyes because the have learnt the idea of sleepwwalking and attending classes in sleep...for others like me who still have a hangover from a cushy job and 10 hours of sleep, this transition is still not complete....
But on a whole there is a marked difference in people's attitudes, they have become more serious with respect to the acads.... Still only 3 weeks into the campus and we have mastered the art of "managerial faff"...This is seen majorly in classes like Organizational Behaviour.... But there are some subjects that utilise the brain rather than the vocal cords - economics and statstics are the 2 that I find among the more interesting ones... but the idea in a B School is to keep your mind open and widen your horizon... that's what everyone tells me... and I nod on.... ;-)

[the.bombardier]

Quizzes are designed to jolt people out of sleep, so it seems to me. :neutral: A quiz comes as suddenly as possible..i once heard of a paradox that there could be no such thing as a surprise quiz..all that has been shattered in the last one week..
first quiz i had at MDI, i managed to get the lowest in class it is sort of like a kick .. i did the unthinkable n went to the library for the first time.. come to think of it,i rarely used the library even at engineering..so it was pretty scandalising for some people to see me going there.. my case was taken, but the experience was good on the whole.. the library is really good..no wonder all the junta heads there everyday...
so i guess there is some more seriousness in me n the rest of the junta after the past week... seniors r also starting with their mid terms now so the hostel would be a lot different now...

I managed to miss the quiz that you scored the lowest in...so I guess I would feature below you....
On the library front, even I have heard it's an amazing place... the junta tells me so.... but I havent had a first hand experience... i find it amzing that people spend so much time in the library... there is so much material that has already been given....I guess others have finished what I have just started....
For those not in MDI- as in most B Schools, we also have a case based pedagogy.... books on each subject are supplemented with handouts that the faculty has prepared...In some cases these handouts cover what the book misses and in others it is to emphasise some concepts in the book vis-a-vis a case study....
The profs here expect everyone to come prepared for each class..and that really makes the learning more effective, provided you are able to keep pace with the studs out here...:neutral:

[arorasid]

the Prof expects us to know everything before the class.
They just do the revision work or better one of the students give his/her interpretations of what they have read.
So, now we are away from regualr teaching and more focussed on analyzing.
well Bombardier don't worry if u got the minimum, I got third minimum but still a long journey to go.
But its really amazing that I who use to sleep a lot am now sleeping 4 to 5 hours a day, I sleep at 2 or 3 am and am up at 7 or 7:30am.
Don't know if this will help in life.
Anyway its really great fun to be here and be part of so much activities and the best part that we have time for every activity and even though we all are sleping less but still nobody is tired for atleast next 2 years.
If u miss out at any class; there is virtually no time to clear backlog and so u have to move with the world, its not a place for those who lag behind. Its a place to move forward in life.

With the PGPM guys penning down so much about their experiences, I certainly dont want the HR guys to remain behind

In reality the PGPM guys are apparently having the time of their lives - some have also told me that their group activities have hardly begun - which was surprising for me. For us group activities have begun from Day 1 - and well, coordinating with your own group can be such a nuisance - this is something I have learnt here - this is coz u are also burdened with assignments, pre-readings, rumours of quizzes and so on. We have already received 3 projects along with everyday assignments, and 3 more are yet to come. Along with this there are presentations which we are getting used too now (looks like MBA is more about making presentations than learning anything else... )...

Abey Shankar - why say that the hostel isnt good ? I felt that the hostel rocks, nice rooms etc - though the gals hostel has its way eventually - excellent interior architecture and plus several other necessities. Boys toh are always bakraas...

Sat Sundays are fun as well as no fun - most of the NCR guys run off home and the hostel is half empty. Still the guys left behind manage to make the most of it - partying, movies etc etc are part of life here. And so is the trend of birthday parties which I am getting used to, now - where if its Mr X's bday, then he along with his roomie, his roomie's girlfriend etc are attacked with cake, bumps etc etc. Also, though I am one person who doesnt participating in boozing, there is a real LOT of booze happening around here - with the parties and with evrythin else too

Life is hectic - but yes, we are learning to chill and get used to the place...
