U guys have 2 weeks of post-endterm hols ??!! That`s so non-bschoolish Good luck with the slumber parties ..

Long time since a post has been made here!
The reason is simple! End Terms!

And thankfully, it's the end of the end terms!
And boy does the hostel look all lonely without the people! :wow:

Looking forward to a nice and blissfully sleep filled two weeks

Best part of having end terms before others is knowing that others are going to toil while you enjaay (pro, siddesh, anarchy, etc guys this is for u )

Cheers!

Awesome job Ninja.....Visited the thread after a long time.....Moi too thinkin of uploading a coupla pics here.....After the village trip n the adv trip followed "Ratanjee" (Senior v/s Juniors) sports meet...:)....We gave our seniors a real tough time this year..........

Will be back wid the more pics soon.....

Nice posts, Ankit and Ninja. Ninja, loved the pics - especially the first early morning one, and the last one with you four laughing away to glory. But make the pics smaller next time?

mufasa Says

Where were these photos taken?

These pics were taken on weekends ranging from 2nd week of July to 1st week(end) of August.
Btw thanks ankit

Next update. In parallel to these adventure trips, students were also sent on village trips; guided by different NGOs to different parts of Jharkarnd as well as some parts of Orissa and West Bengal. Most of the groups visited adivasi villages, some of the poorest of Jharkand, and a good number of them situated in naxalite areas.

But the main idea was to learn what poverty and rural life really meant; one really understood what 15Rs meant; to one of us it meant a plate of maggi noodles at the nite canteen, to these people it probably meant everything!

You spoke to children in schools explaining what education really means; you talk to villagers understanding why even the poorest of them has a voting card, but doesn't know the significance of it.
I really can't describe in words what you actually learn out there; in short it was an eye opening experience.

Once again, pics galore :)

Early morning





Rice Farming





A Women's Self Help Group





Explaining the importance of education to school students at one of the village




No words!




We had fun too! :D
Cheers,
Ninja (Guy in blue shirt ;))

Where were these photos taken?

thanks a lot ninja....it was really a nice description and u presented the true picture of life @xl...:)

continuing with some acad stuff..a few points r worth mentioning....

we dont have a relative grading system here....to be more precise the grading system is neither entirely relative nor entirely absolute.....it is kinda mix...wl seem confusing to a few as of now.....??:

take it on face value for now that the system is not of relative grading.....like in iims etc...

now how it helps is that at XL u really wnt witness a cut throat competition....as in ppl dnt try to back stab u to gain that extra mark bec that wl improve your CQPI....deres no such thing here...

infact batches go to extent that CA guys take classes for engineers b4 exams, just b4 a surprise quiz some1 who has prepared for it briefs the entire class, u get mails from your fellow batchmates mailing u the previous year exam papers, or some good resource he/she has found etc etc...:)

gives a sense of comfort to be in such a environment where every1 is ever ready to help u...

"XL bonding" as it is said here...:)

Amazing Pics ....

Now this is what I call Life @ XL

AWESOME!

Whats next?

lol! This is talking about the past. Already have done quite a few events after that, but don't have time to post it!!!

Will do as time permits.

Meanwhile the diro has just given an interview, wish it was to PG, but still a very good read.

XL Diro Interview

AWESOME!

Whats next?

...
from senior-junior sport competitions to 3 day adventure camps that push you to levels you would have never thought you could reach
...

Last time I had mentioned Adventure Camps!

Here's a more vivid desc!

The entire juniors batch was split into seperate batches of 40 odd people and each batch was sent for a 3 day adventure camp on different weekends. There we underwent activities ranging from rappelling to water rafting; from obstacle races to varied team games; all was happening out here! :D

And this was happening out in the rugged terrain, living self set up tents and using the wild jungles for the... umm... u can guess what :biggrin:

We had to perform all the tasks in all the elements, people got tanned, were laid down with injuries, many were down with fever, but not a single person left any task untouched!

A complete team building activity filled with fun, i'll let the pics do the talking


Tents set up by the students





Rock climbing! The pic says the rest :)






Passing through mind boggling small cracks and water logged holes or filled with slush, this was a task more mentally tough than phsyical :)





Rapelling; you could see the tension on every face at the top, but once the first step into air was taken, then came the true fun! :D






Rafting at Dimna Lake; we were given ropes, rubber tubes and poles, the rest was up to our own imagination! Many a raft got sunk midway



Cheers,
Ninja

one month.
no update at all?

Ah! Updates! Loads of updates! :)

So much has happened in the last few weeks!
Ranging from parties (also known as "wet nites" ) to outbound village trips to various adivasi places in Jharkand, Orissa and WB; from senior-junior sport competitions to 3 day adventure camps that push you to levels you would have never thought you could reach; from various committee meetings and elections to mid terms and various assignments, it's all happening out here!!!

Life at XL is a set of oxymornic situations (if you can call that so! )
Consider this; you got a wet nite that run to the wee hours of the morning, and voila! You have a mid term exactly on the next day!!!

On a rare occasion you prepare for class hoping to do some CP-giri (that's class participation :D) and the prof decides to do some different arbit stuff or a different chapter! :eh:

Or like the situation that the week you have an adventure trip, the lord decides to choose that specific weekend to bless you by opening out the skies :wow:

But still thats life at XLRI and we laaavvv it

But something special that has been happening a lot at XLRI for the last few weeks is.... won't say it, just have a look...

as the saying goes, a pic is worth a thousand words

I am back folks Just when you thought that I would become a lot less active in terms of posting (spamming I mean ) I am here with a new thread.
Learnings from two days stay @ XLRI

- Jamshedur is a very small town not much in terms of sightseeing
- You dont need to sightsee when you have so much "greenery" on the campus
- Classes begin at 8:30 in the mornings :(
- You can keep ninja_talli busy by giving him a lappy with games loaded on it
- Everything is way cheaper here whn compared to delhi so more value for money (See I have already learnt a bit of Fin Mgmt )

Rest to be continued soon ;)

krishanu, mbaankit, ninja_talli and others will also post on this thred to give you a sneak peek into life in Jharkhand

Ho Hum! :dontgeti:
This thread has gone quiet all of a sudden! :tellme: You can tell our arses are on fire :biggrin:

A lot of things have been goin on the last few days!
First things first! Mufasa, le aish kar Atleast the pics taken from my mobile! Enjaay maadi!

Bummers (BM-ers) are gettin bumped up completely, what with QT (read : probability to Organisational Behaviour to various other disciplines)!
In fact got a QT mid term tomorrow Dunno what is the scenario with the Irrers, but I am sure Keechu and Bugs will update on their status!

But life's interesting enuf! From 2nd floor vs 3rd floor fights to getting 'dunked' (ask some xler' what that means ) it's all happening out here!!!

Gotta go, got a class in 5 mins
Till then ciao!

Hmmmmm... so its a post being made after quite some time in this thread.... Nothing to wonder about it though... We are finally getting to know that B-skools are not all fun And that it can be hectic 'at times'

As i make this post, it is 4.25 AM by my watch... me doing the assignments related to Industrial Relations, Labour Laws and what not! Sleep has come down to its minimal level of anythiing between 2.5 to 5 hrs (although that does not perturb me since i have seen it all in the Infy training days at Mysore :D), although i am very regular at the Badminton court and the TT tables And i guess this is what Bskool life is all about!
It is about stealing time from a packed schedule and to not miss out on any of the life's fun! :biggrin:
I am afraid i have to get back to work...have a project deadline tmro and may have a surprise test or two on Monday... ;)
XLRI Rocks!

An Update! There has been tremendous response to the notice put up on the hostel noticeboards regarding Bugs' "misplaced" pyjamas...all hostelmates were eager to help...and consequently, Bugs' PINK pyjamas have been retrieved ...The pink pyjamas will be hung on the hostel noticeboard to serve as a stark warning to others who have the habit of "misplacing" their pyjamas in odd places!:wow:

Krishanu/Ninja will fill in the gory details on where and how the lost pyjamas were found...

We celebrated BUGS ka Birthday by giving him some Kicks... The poor guy paid 250 bucks just to have an ice-cream and get some 20 odd kicks... Bechara :p

Tmro we plan to goto the Dimna Lake and an amusement park!

Great to see the Puys having a rocking time at XL.

Now we have the photo upload feature on PaGaLGuY and you can upload your Life@XL pics in "B-School Chronicles Category"

If the need arises, we can also create a separate section for XL pics

Cheers!

Btw I forgot to mention a few sports updates!!! (Yesterday's updates)

Volleyball (Men) :- PMIR Team won against the BM-B team in straight sets in the final! :eh: (me a bummer of course )

Throwball (Women) :- BM (Combined A&B;) Team won against the PMIR team; the match went into the third set! Point to be noted, the basketball match which was going in parallel to the throwball match; was paused temporarily Also the cheering support strength for both the girls team surpassed that of the cheering squad in the volleyball, football and basketball (even after summing them all!) by a huge margin

Who says in today's world women don't get support ;)

Basketball (Mixed) :- BM-B team lost to both BM-A and PMIR team, preparing a final match betn BM-A and PMIR team today. :)


P.S. An important point to notice, Krishanu was nowhere to be seen during all these matches whereas the entire college was on the ground, even the staff!!! Akhir ye banda tha kahan? ;)

Kauno howat itthe? :sneaky::sneaky: ... sab kichanu ke upar kichad kyu feking Kichanu koi kuch bhi nahi bolne ka hum uuke sarwa pe sadela coconutwa se maaring

Idhar koi aisan hi kichanu par khichad nahi feking!!! Kichanu khud khichad mae nahinng.... toh hum kya karing :-P :-P

As for Kichanu's doings, I'll be back soon with my expert comments

Btw I mentioned the excellent cuisines at XLRI a few times Here's one reason to prove it! (First pic)
P.S. A special mention to IIMC guys, check out the ratio in the line!

Btw excellent AC facilities at the XL library; you feel at home among the books; the second pic proves it
P.S. The pic is of a fellow xlri-ian bummer; who felt the extreme need to catch 40 winks after going thru the impossible and inhuman task of reading a statistics book

More pics of XL campus as and when I am able to capture the "greenery" ;)

Kauno howat itthe? :sneaky::sneaky: ... sab kichanu ke upar kichad kyu feking Kichanu koi kuch bhi nahi bolne ka hum uuke sarwa pe sadela coconutwa se maaring

Oh o...Post karne main late ho gaya...Krishanu ne to pehle hi apne Defensewa de diya hai....Bugs bhai...let's back with some strong counter-points....waise bhi there is a big diff between being a dedicated puy...n being a "Ghissu".......

PS: - Bahut dinon se koi groan nahin khaya hai to socha Krish ko ek mauka de hi diya jaaye...;)...

Moi stand in attestation of Krishanu's presence in the BM-A class of Finance....(Me being in BM A......)...Heights of ghissupanti indeed....;)....Sudhar jaa Krishanu....!!!

But even if we forgive him for the Finance class (The Prof being really good...)...How wud Krish ever explain his presence in the SPSS class...I haven't been i a more chaatu lecture so far........

Waiting for further revelations from bugs....Keep up the gud work man.......

Sorry but this post is gonna brief
Latest update
Krishanu misses a class on brain mapping only to go and attend a class on intro to financial management for BM guys :shocked:
He is taking ghissupanti to an all new level. He is probably aiming for a dual degree in both BM and PMIR
kya kahein ek PGite se ye umeed nah thi kisne socha ki ye itna padaku niklega

Bhai amarwa....
this Bugs is taking a revenge on me... just a counter-attack.. against all the scams of his that i have (and will ) unearthed!!!

The truth is here-
1. i missed the brain mapping classes of IR cos they are the most boring types where the only piece of interest for guys is the chance to do some group tasks with the damsels of the class.. (and i think its the same reason why the gals attended it as well )

So it is obvious that a innocent Puy like me would maintain his self esteem and not get into such traps (Incidentally even Tinkerbell did not attend that class..bole toh Wise Puys Think Alike )

2. I attended the Finance class cos i did not want to waste my time doing nothing...i thought that is not what is expected of a dedicated Puy... ;)

3. And i did not attend any other class apart from the Basics of Finance...

Come on Tinker yaar! with so many interesting ppl in my class itself if i am not attending it, then its obvious that i wud not have any ulterior motive in attending the BM class where not only the quantity but even the quality of junta can be no match for the PMIR ppl :D

Thus, I rest my case!



P.S: Bugs keeps gettin 'psycho' these days... not good signs i must say What say Tinker, Rosso, Ninja and others? time we helped him out...

My all good wishes with you dear, KU.

And Bugs the reporter, kudos to you. Such a dedication! Of such hectic times, you could take some time out to post such a beautiful and enthralling piece of news.

In addition, Krishanu "accidentally" found himself in the BM SPSS class in the evening!:wow:
Do I sense an ulterior motive here??

OMG
He never said anything about the SPSS Class
Krishanu :bad-word: you are gonna get a kick on your posterior when I see you next time which is on about 2 minutes

Folks just like they say never judge a book by its cover never judge a PGite by his posts for he might turn out to be the complete opposite.

some more learnings frm d experience till nw-
1.u need 7-10 days 2 knw each n every one of ur section( nw don't ask me hw much time u need 2 knw all batchmates:satisfie:)
2.bodhi tree is called 'bodhi tree' cz people get new n fresh ideas n ideologies sittin under it( those who wan 2 knw hw spend 1 hr under it frm night 12 to 1 w8 buddies).
3.'rosogulla' can eat 3 plates full of mutton, 3 plates full of rice n 6 chapatis n still feels hungry.......good going man.....u r d only 1 who is gonna make a profit wen our mess charges r concerned.
4.some professors r such good badminton players dat u better watch them playin frm a distance.

thnks joydeep for posting abt this thread on orkut....

nyways...my first impressions...

Campus is awesome....full of greenery....gud hostels..was not expecting 2-seater rooms with this much space....again above expectation canteen ....in fact gr8 till now...

sports facilities r gr8...so much and also so close to hostels...gym...
.baddy...volley..football.basky...and much more to explore...


wat to say abt faculties...truly best..they have made subjects like stats and finance so interesting and easy to understand...but all r jus sayin one thin as of now...enjoy till 25th...i don understand wats happenin on 25th...:satisfie:


jamshedpur town is gud...although it does'nt have comforts and mall culture of a metro, but on the lighter side does'nt have traffic jams also...at least from hostel u can reach nywere in max. 10 mins....:satisfie::satisfie:......a small town with one lovers park ... one major market where u can get all the necessary things..even an original Levi's Tee for 130/-...wat more can u expect...

so overall a nice place to spend 2 most imp yrs of ur life....

LONg live XL joy......

Ahhhh...Phinally I have found the "Life @ XL Thread"....Saale Krishanu, pehle kyon nahin bataya ki "B-School students discussion" main hai...???.......Main to "XAT and related thread" main dhoond raha tha...;)....

Anyway bhai logon....here's my side of the XL story so far....
Reached XL on 13th night....with all my luggage...pulled everything up to ma room on second floor, only to find my room locked..:bad-word:..The guard immediately obliged...and opened the door through the electronic locking system....:)....Pretty neat eh...???....

Arranged my things and rushed down for dinner....Saw everything wrapped up....Asked the mess guys if anything was left...he immediately got it arranged and the food was good by all standards....and it has continued to be thus far....:)....

Over to the Proffs -

Prof. J Singh...Briefed us abt the History of XL...he was extremely impressive....and then there was Prof. Broca...The ultra passionate and enthusiatic Stats Prof....Man u shud see the smile on his face when he talks abt "box-plot", dispersion and skwness........but u dare not mention "histograms" n front of him...;)...
Then comes Prof. Sengupta - the Fin Prof....the perfect image of a stud Bong..:)..Teached us a couple of principles some driven absolutely by his "whims and fancies"..;)..and made things appear sooo easy....and u guys have already heard abt the heroics of Prof. Gangopadhyaye........

All in all the Profs have shown us what good teaching and command on one's subject means.....something we have hardly seen in our engineering days (barring the IITians)...

Coming over to sports....

Bhai logon...BM A is not all that phisaddi...jaisa ki abhi tak project kiya gaya hai....Abey penalty main to Argentina bhii Germany se haar gayi thi...!!!....woh doosri baat hai ki hum Volleyball main bhi haar gaye hain........But guys...just wait n watch...BM A will be back...with a BANG....

besides we also have a huge gang of PGites over here....it's really fun to find out guys sitting next to u, who u have exchanged a 100 pms with....me and Bugs met in somewhat the same way.......

Over all it's absolute fun over here....hopefully it'll continue after 25th as well as aaist all the warnings by the Profs....:satisfie:.....

Ah! The famous Prof Gangopadhyay's class!!! I should remember that in future :lookroun:


Bhabhi thi kya??? Ki koi aur hai is case mae????
Chick--> Explain in detail please, too much confuusan to whom u r referring to, its the PMIR class doood! :biggrin:



A note about the classes; we had an introductory class on Finance Basics; the prof was amazing; I could actually grasp what was being taught easily That hasn't happened to me since first grade

Xl rawwks!

Shut up yaar...........i wanted krishanu 2 throw some more light on d actual happenings.:.

Ya dats true. Dat finance professor was mindblowing..........I wud like 2 add Dr.Broca, d descriptive statistics professor, is superb too..........really enjoyed his classes,d way he taught new concepts....

Guys permutation & combination class ws frm 8:30 2day. Went at 8:31 & found d lecture hall locked frm inside :wow:. Heard abt this trend frm seniors bt realised it 2day. Guys pls shed 1 or 2 tears 4 me..............poor fellow am posting frm computer centre wen d class is goin on.

N guys convince our classmates 2 join pagalguy n post in this thread so dat it becomes another source of recreation 4 us like d music session we hav everyday late night(there is a guy called ankur who plays guitar really well).

Ah! Thats something I really appreciated yesterday night (although I was surfing the badaaa sa jaal (world wide web ) at that time. 1 guy (ankur i suppose) playing the guitar, while an assorted mixture of Tansens and Asha Bhosles around him singing in chorus! Although at times the loud pitch (of voices) was such that it could give Himesss an inferiority complex

Among the various junta piled up in the garden, we also had Philip Kotler, Peter Drucker, Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh lounging among us!!! :wow::confused: :nervous: (Surprised to hear that??? We'll post pictures of them soon ;))

Today's breakfast was another first time experience; the queue had gone up to new records; people were standing from the mess entrance right up to the pathways outside in the lawn That talks a lot about the quality of food in our mess right ( On a serious note, the food is quite decent :))

I request all the PG members to take cognizance of my spotless reputation and ignorethe comments of this publicity seeking, sensation creating, rumour spreading "dumbass" who is zimply trying to besmirch me.

Thanking you for your patience for reading krishanu's naan-sense but i would highly appreciate it if you guys choose to be on the side of what is right and just and groan at krishanu's post to teach him a lesson and yeah it doesnt have to be this post... you can groan at any post of krishanu's that you come across

Of course bikes are allowed in campus! Why do u think the chicks choose this college over the rest :-P :biggrin:

Don't worry, some day, if time permits I'll try to organise a bike trip from XL to IIMC; then probably you too can drive bikes in ur campus :-P

Raniwa.... Hum tumka kaisan bhulenge!!! Ye talli to abhi bhi rahega ninja_talli

Btw all this posting is being done in an ongoing class :satisfie:
Also,we have been told very decently that we are gonna be screweeeed n***d from 25th, so enjoy life to the fullest till then And thats what we are doing. :D

Btw for the record, Call of Duty game finished in 5 hours straight :D

Isnt XL in general too defensive ? ...Or was the defensive play out of deference to the PMIR team? Girls ka dil nahi dukhaana tha kya?.... My advice : Better hone up ur skills soon or else .....

@ninja - the previous post abt Jamshedpur city was cool . Are bikes still allowed in XL? for us the bikes arent allowed ... Prospectus mein bold mein likha hai

Joka jaa ke cycle khareedna padega - chalne ki aadat nahi daalna chaahta mein khud ko

@bugs , krish , ninja and all XLites - Enjoy life and keep posting

sid

just for your information ,as the seniors told us that for the last two years XL has retained the trophy at the XL-IIM c meet.....and let me warn u sid that the scene doesnt seem to change this year too...(m sayig this after wat i saw in the sports field yesterday)...
seemed its not a b-school but a s- school(sports).....

thanks all for the wishes....

the sports facilities seems to be ok ok here...but we will be more appretiative once the seniors join us and tell us more about how the things are done..

Umm.... Sports meet consists of only Football, Volleyball (both for guys) and Throwball (obviously for girls!) among the PMIR, BM-A and BM-B teams (Since BM consists of 120 team, it has been divided into A & B team; your's truly in B)

Volley ball & Throw ball sessions for today; football sessions got over yesterday!

First Match BM-B vs BM-A; the match went into "penalty shootouts"; B team winning easily by a score of 3-0

Second Match BM-A vs PMIR; match again going into PS; PMIR team narrowly winning by a score of 4-3

Third match which turned out to be a trial for the final match two days later; was abandoned at half time; due to unseen "tiring" reasons

So pro bhaiya.... the game was phutbaal; not badminton :-P
And PMIR team did not fully win over the BM team; not yet :-P
Bug's spear still has notclash against Talli's armour!

I am back folks Just when you thought that I would become a lot less active in terms of posting (spamming I mean ) I am here with a new thread.
Learnings from two days stay @ XLRI

120 baache lost to 60 out of which max are girls .. sharam karo :-P .

@ninja - good post ...

som1 - plz post details abt the sports induction

As proposed by ninja ....we hereby announce the formation of the Bathroom singers club..........well as far as public transport goes havent seen any but sure saw some private buses which cld give the fevicol ad truck an inferiority complex......

Atlast we have a Life@XLRI thread on PG
Good start guys . The current crop of XLers shd do justice to this thread .

Keep the updates coming.

P.S. - Any of u planning to join the Band

Okkk....
Learnt a imp thing; posts can't be edited in this section ??:

Band?? I wonder if they'll take in bathroom singers Must remember to ask them

Now that Bugs has taken the drive from me by starting the thread, I'll make sure my posts on this thread exceed his :biggrin:

XLRI - Beautiful campus. Decent ratio of gender; naturally the PMIR with a more healthy one!

Except for the TATA areas, the rest of the city is a mess! Reminds me of Gujarat especially the old parts of the gujarati cities :biggrin:

Had a two day "holiday" as classes started only today. Went to the market area then to buy some basic commodities. Here in J'pur, there is no concept of meter in autos; it's all between you and the 'ric owner. So it all depends on ur "negotiating" skills; which in just a short period of 2 days showed how good negotiation skills we had! Most of the time we just went along with what the ric owner demands. Ye IT wale na, paise ki value nahi jante :-P
Had a lot of chat in the city; at rates just around 5 bucks each dish! I love J'pur!!

In pune, I thought the city transportation sucks; what to do with the rickety buses and noisy ric's! Here in J'pur its even worse! There is NO city transportation; maybe there might be one; but haven't seen one in the last two days :eh:

Either way, I never felt more desperate for my Pulsar My roomie better sends it here by this weekend!

Had a first "serious" class session today; Descriptive Statistics!!! It was all greek to me Everything went overhead! Bah! Who cares! I got a seat next to a cute chick :lookroun:

XL rawwks!

Ahem!!!!! my distinguished colleagues have already done a great job in the above posts !!! more updates are gonna come this way in the days to come......but sure would like to add that this place rocks!!!!!!
