Life @ IIM Indore - 30-06-2004, 07:11 PM

I've been wanting to start this thread for sometime. Now that we've (that includes Chandoo) finally reached the campus, we can start posting some, if not all, of our experiences here.

To start with, I'll settle with a mention to a link that contains our first day experiences at IIMI:
http://www.pagalguy.com/cat/viewtopi...amp;no=1#81496

Will update this thread l8r.

Ofcourse he is in here. He's probably sleeping now... after a long time. ;-)

Much has been written about the rigour and load in the IIMs, but still I was having a predilection that all was exaggerated. But boy, its extremely rigorous. We (all of regular PGites here... whencool, chandoo etc) hardly slept for 2 to 3 hrs this week.

Today looks a little promising - maybe able to catch 5 hours. Desperately need it. It is really not turning out to be a joke to keep studying for 6 to 8 hours everyday, apart from the group meetings etc. And its a normal day, not even exam time.

We generally have classes from 9 to 1.00 pm. Since we have a Yoga class in the morning, can't do much work near the dawn... so gotta slog only in the evenings/late nights. But despite all this, we settled to dancing and partying last Saturday. Some of us occasionally managed to watch brief stretches of Soccer.
More later...

aloha...

What a week it has been. Started off with a whirl of cases and submissions and what not. Ended with the cultural night and informal fight between section A and section B of the class. After rounds of ROFLs the actual party started. Limited Booze, unlimited fun. Melting Pot ( our disco plane ) is full of smoke, sound and energy. It lasted till sometime in the morning. Later on the lazy sunday came. time for washing clothes and catching a trip to city.
Next week seems to be better :P

Adios ,
Chandoo

well this is jus quoting jamster from his blog taken obvious without his permission coz that guy is too busy chasin .. well leave it to ur imagination...

OUR INFORMAL FRESHERS’ PARTY
Well, it s finally done. Our seniors have finally finally welcomed us to the fold of IIM Indore, officially, that is. Although we have felt welcomed from the day we walked into the campus, it was only yesterday that the actual welcoming took place.

It started off with both sections of PGP 1 performing cultural activities like skits, song and dance routines, etc. I personally was involved in a skit in a small way. I had to play one of the members of the Placement Committee and public opinion has it that I did a good job of it. I guess all those years of imitating people, the way they talk, the way they talk and generally their attitudes has paid off in a small way.

After the formal cultural routine, we had our usual ‘let-down your hair’ sort of party with the works, ie, drinks, dance and sexy disco lights. The party started at around midnight and went on till something like 5 AM by which time both PGP batches had pretty much exhausted themselves out. In any case, it was an awesome party by any standards. Wonder how many more such parties we’ll have.

Signing off………….Jam
cheers

I guess we IIMB guys are the most jobless now .Though the first week was hell the second week has been super cool :P I haven't touched any of my textbooks in the last week.....I am not kidding.I am easily managing 6-8 hours of sleep every day.Rest of the time is spent in playing sports,partying and generally goofing around.It's not me alone...90% of the junta are like that

Things have eased a bit here too... its not as bad as before... but then, 6 to 8 hrs slep is a luxury. This Sunday was super-cool.... games, Gym and Partying all the way... but otherwise, no much change.
