3 wEEKS more....and then...there is freedom

May be i am loving STI more than ever before,that the word freedom appears more jazzy for me now.The days have gone by in a flash,filled with assignments,tasks,STI movies at night and of course bakkar.I just peep into the calendar for the first time since i have come here.Its the last day in august,2008 and i understand that,20 days later,i shall be 8 hours from IIM K - at my home.

I remember my engg college days when the hostel corridors used to become silent the day after the exam and the place used to look like a cemetary with an occasional sound of a security guard breaking the silence.At night,it used to get more eerie.Of course these are just my imaginations as i have never been that unlucky to stay back ,after exams were over.But these were facts to many others who came from north India as they just went home once in a year as Calicut was very far from their home.

These facts will get reiterated to many , 20 days from now.Most of us will be at home but some unfortunate fellas,will have to stay back.But then kerala is quite beautiful and I guess they would not waste time by sleeping in hostels.Theres lot for them to explore.The western ghats surrounding the campus bears testimony to the fact that,there is a lot of things awaiting them in those hills.And of course the backwaters.

But next 20 days is gonna be eventful (of course in a bad way) with projects and assignments and quizzes.But the very thought of goin back home after 3 months does give some real relief.But i pray that exams on last day should go on well coz you run out of patience on the last day,with the thought of catching the train.

But there is one relief.For PGP11 guys,some people left early as their exams got over earlier.Some poor souls had to stay back for another day.Atleast for us,we dont have to bear such a wrath.Everyone has to bear the same burden.

And the next term is gonna be a real screw in the head as the summer placement season shall turn the heat on.But as of now,i just dont wanna think of all those.As of Now..............................

"Mamma......I m coming homee..................I m coming homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........."

The night goes on and on.....

The gruelling mid terms have just come and gone, and everyone went through a real hectic schedule.To top in midterms have gone out of my mind,coz everypaper had thrown out some surprises leading to mounting levels of despair and frustration.To give it a free ride is out of question,coz death would be the only result in this battlefield if one chooses to do that.

Now if I do feel and think that , midterms were just the end of it all, then i am terribly mistaken.A heap load of assignments and tasks are following this and i just scribbled down on the various tasks I have to do parallely every other day. And it somewhat looked like this

• MIS project (havent started and the deadlines are nearing and none in the group including me have an idea of what to do next.Have to do something soon)
• Arthanomics ( Have volunteered for this - have to build up the CV ;) and the tasks are just about begin)
• Konsult - Have to start working on the blog and as well as the tasks given.
• IBOK- have just started with that and if it should make some sense,I should slog to put in some sense to my work
• Summer preparation - The GDs and interviews are gonna begin and have to prepare for them as well
• Academics ( all the works related to academics-The alternate day MM case work does make this even more tighter,leave alone to keep up with daily studies)

If you do see the list,the acads are positioned well below it all.It does say everything- I have no time left in my life to just have a peep into the books to understand what the hell is going on in my class.Life is getting busier.24 hours just dont seem to be sufficient and dunno where the whole world is heading to.A collapse--naah,being an IIMite i can neva think of that.I am preparing my forces to combat these monsters and well god knows how successfull i would be in that battle.

Every morning i wake up just with a wish to do atleast half of these tasks i have planned and by the time my clock shows its 4 AM, i find that even half of them havent been touched.And when I pen down these words,my senses tell me...

• IBOk hasnt been touched today
• MIS project still remains virgin
• KONSULT hasnt been taken care of

Just done with MA and have to go for MM case discussion in a few minutes...and the night goes on and on...but my dil doesnt go mmm mmmm... In the hope that the next 24 hours shall give something to bring a smile on my face... Adios...Amigos...
