Hmm..Finally the day had arrived to enter the most coveted place for a college passout/experienced bored up worker,which will throw open the road to riches(dowry also included).Yeah I meant a B-school and when 2Is and one M gather together-it has enuf in it to sparkle the eyes of an educated youngster in India.This was my first day in the so called "Gods own Kampus" and it was yeah,some day to remember,coz,it was the time,when i did realize fully that i need not test softwares anymore in my life.Had been doing that wretched job for sometime and had lost interest in life,when i got the ticket of K in black(Read it as CAT).
Had persuaded my dad a lot not to come,just to prove that I am an adult,but still he insisted so much to come along with me.So finally I gave way to his wishes,and we came to calicut after 3 years(I had done my engg in the same city).Calicut did not change much,except for the 2 malls which came up ,of late.
By mid-day we came to the gates of the great IIM K.Was happy to see that security did not question my integrity(Phew..i do look like a B School Grad).Went up the hill and got my room.Had earlier heard that some hostels are near the ladies hostel,and hence i was wondering(infact praying) whether i would get a room near theirs.But then the admin realised my appetite(during the interview I guess),and gave me a room overlooking the kitchen of the mess.
Yeah now was the time to explore the campus and chicks(I meant chicken in the mess :P ).Campus did blow me over and the greenary was just stupendous.The view of the western ghats was just mind blowing.I just take a moment to salute the guy who designed this wonderful piece of architecture on this rugged terrain(though breath taking).Then heard the news that, the contractor of the mess is the same guy who was the contractor for the mess in my engg college(Now that is what i call a disaster).And then the no. of chicks in the campus was really marvellous(I still have some fingers left).So both the chicken and the chicks dissapointed me.But i guess thats how it is in great institutes(not sure with the chicken part though).
The day went by meeting new pals and many did sound really interesting.Then came the day 1 of "SCHOOL".Had a big registration process and got to see the whole batch for the first time.A gud number of IITians,NITians,and other engineers and people from other backgrounds.We also had a doctor this time around.The pride of being into an IIM was just getting bigger with time.By the time i reached the front of the queue,it almost reached my mouth.But thanks to god,I managed to keep my mouth shut till the whole process was over.Once that was over,I got a slip to collect the books which I had to study for the term one.
I went upstairs to collect the books and saw that I had a huge lot to study.By the time i got them and came down,i saw my dad awaiting me.With a huge bunch of books in my two hands,I walked in front of him like Arnold in his Mr Universe competition.A proud son in front of a proud dad.
After the lunch,dad left for home,with wet eyes,filled with happiness,expectations,and all synonyms of that.But then, there was no time to chillax, as I had to finish the task given to me by Placecom(Placement comitee) as a part of grooming up.Since we were obedient fachhas,all promptly were present in the computer centre,cribbing about what would happen to all of us for the next 2 years.Some happily cribbed about the terrible hectic routine that one would be subjected to, in the next 2 years.Some who were sleeping for 20 hours a day for past 2 months,really found it difficult to get adjusted to this whole new leaf in their life.And the rest were checking out chicks :P (If one could find any).But then that ended the first day of sleepless ness at around 12,with lots more promises of keeping us awake till 3 in the morning,for the next 2 years.
