For a momentary sojourn to a different city or probably country to spend the interim time between the first year and second year in hell, the "place" (placement committee for the unaware) makes u go through well....more of hell....Ofcourse, these guys are doing a stellar job in gettin us placed and half of wat IIMB is, is due to these unsung heroes.....
But life is what the heck-tic......
A dozen resume submissions to every company that decided to put up shop in some of those god forsaken garages and under those banyan trees.....
If that were not enuf...we are subjected to relentless and unrestrained continuous discourses on the nuances of corporate life and the mantras to succeed in life, work and everythin else by some wise grey haired, paunchy guys in blazers....welll we are talkin abt the Pre Placement talks that we attend everyday......
And...its not all......we have some more fartin to do in the forms that ask u everythin from your dog's maiden name to the color of ur toilet's tiles....
What are ur three areas of focus in life in the last three years?
Me : Batting, bowling and fielding....
What do u think are ur strengths and weaknesses.?
Strength - farting
Weakness - well, it smells...
What do u think is ur greatest achievement in life so far?
My paunch....
Why do u want to join us?
Well, u offer free food and accomodation..
What are ur short term and long term goals
Short term : To sleep well today
Long term : To sleep well everyday
How do u see urself ten years from now
FAT....
Well all this uncalled for cynicism apart.....we do have a lot of work to do,..but it is somethin that is gonna serve us in the long term....ofcourse all pain is endured by believing gullibly, these glob statements...We are kinda privileged to be gettin all these opportunities....but the point is....
with the load of burdensome courses that unfailingly flummox the lesser mortal that I am, and the placement season heatin up every min....
It is time to say goodbye......
The big fat book of corporate finance that unceasingly talks of nett present value and the time value of money beckons...as if to prick me in my bottom sayin "Dude...study".....
Kotler, with his unique and unparalleled ability to scare the wits outta the reader by conjuring countless jargon in every page....is also callin me to pick him up and consume some of his gyaan....soon..
Its hence at the better interests of mankind that I sign off......

Just another day at the IIMs..;) though the state I am in...would rather prefer being being in ur kinda hell rather than a hell wherein companies come to college job fairs and tell international students about the " increasing opportunities" back home in our countries..... yennavo podaa....Live it!!!!
As much as the first half of English-like humor "likened" to me, the second part for J - the writer...pedal max - full form...
