hey...

Looks like i m the the first official PGP1 of the 2011 batch to be posting here. Today is my 4th day on the GIM campus and already our daily routines have taken a tumble. briefly here is what happened in the past few days :

day 1 (13th june): the hostel allocation day...
people started coming as early as 6.30am:shock: in the hopes of getting to choose the best room available (i wud like to shamelessly admit that i was the 1st one to be here). This was an open opportunity for the guys to enter the LH :cheerio:(btw it is GIRLS HOSTEL (GH) now) . also the morgue is now the new girls hostel.

day 2:(14th june) : the moving-in day
the shifting, loading, unloading, mama puppa wishing goodbyes, dashing into each other, "hey, I am XYZ, you are?" , trying best to remember each one and every name, to and fro from seema hotel, buying silly but essential items like mugs, broom, etc and of course mattress.

day 3: (15th june) : 1st official day
Lashing rains.
Early morning discussions in the GH on what is the dress code for the day, bcoz someone informed the dresscode is semi-formal (formal shirt with jeans ? or t-shirt with formal pants? )
Meeting Shambhavi ma'am who does the registration process.
Inaugural speech by prof. D'Lima
Introduction to the various faculty members.
First case study (Milford case) handed over to us. (no idea what it's all about, it has been serving as a sleeping pill for the last 2 days, till now all i know bout the case is that Oates got promoted bcoz somebody died)
late evening- people getting their laptops configured by help from their fellow IT people. however no lights in the hostel, n people gather in library... server down... smart asses breaking their heads trying to somehow get connected. finally LAN connected and...... CS ONNNNNNNN

day 4 (today...sorry yesterday): starting foundation courses
9 am- Ranjini ma'am's lecture. dot 9 am.. door is latched from inside and a couple of poor guys keep knocking for next one hour. full day orientation programmes like- how to live safely and reponsibly in GIM by Mukesh sir, a short lecture by dr. Fatima who told us how to prevent various contagious diseases and the precautions to be taken, introduction to the placement cell by prof. Rangarajan (oh, 2 guys who went to pee werent taken back in class by the prof because they were 1 min late):nono:
late evening- people going in their 1st FREE ferry ride to divar and enjoying the scenic beauty of the surroundings.
Still later- ARRE...NET CHALU HOGAYA

hey puys...

had been to the office to pay d second installment. spoke to jenny ma'am. she said that there were only 120 in the first list.
so people who are in the 3rd list, keep ur fingers crossed.... n keep praying..there is a high chance that u will convert.
in case u dont convert, then u get the dd of 40k back.
and incase u do covert the seat n later leave it then 39k will be returned...

hey..seems like all the waitlisted people have made thru.... how come..???

hey puys...

congrats to all the call- getters





p.s. btw even i got thru...

this is the link

click once again on the view final results... u'll get ur status..
btw even i m on waitlist....

hi puys,

i m also going thru the same symptoms that u people are going thru.
every doorbell, sms, phone call gives me a scare. even when the newspaper wala comes and knocks the door in the morning i m convinced that it is some friend of mine (who has appeared 4 gim interview) with a box of sweets in his hands and saying that he has been selected.:wow:

and for the past few days the tension mounted to such an height, that i have even started getting nightmares bout the results.

so i decided to do the logical thing, i called up the GIM office and asked them whether the results will be out tomorw. so they said it will be out next week. i asked- mon/tue.. n she said stil later, by the end of next week....

any PG meet in goa..??
that day during the interview all the seniors were looking at us as if we are specimens kept in bottle (remember biology lab?)
