Miss u L LAN....

I had tried a lot, but never managed to blog until I get bored to such an extent that I have nothing else to do. Today is one of those days. After the convocation, I'm back to Bangalore for a month before heading to Mumbai to start my career again, this time at Enam IB.

Most of us hated the rigor at IIML. Staying up till odd hours, managing with 4-5 hours sleep, cases, presentations are a norm in most B-Schools today, but at IIML it was just a little bit more taxing and during the first year we were constantly reminded of how around 40 students were thrown out in our super senior batch.

In the second year, though the rigor increased, we were able to cope up with that as we learnt to beat the system. All people knew what range of CGPAs each one fitted into and however hard you may try going to the next band of CGPA wasn't easy. So junta started optimizing their time utilizations in such a way that they had a good resume to show to the companies during final placements. All cases were not read, all presentations were not prepared for and the amount of time put in any assignment was directly proportional to the amount of value it added to the resume. This way, junta started having lots of time (relatively!) in their hands for leisure (read for stuff from L LAN)

The resources available on the L LAN were amazing. Any movie ranging from the ' The Great Train Robbery (1903)‘ to American Pie VI was available. Most of the sitcoms telecast on the US television were available the same day on the insti LAN. And after coming to Bangalore, even to lay my hands on an mp3, i was made to think twice as my Airtel internet connection has a 3GB download limit. Then unable to restrict my usage, I upgraded to unlimited data transfer but still downloading is painfully slow through bit torrent. At last count, How I met your mother's latest episode has been downloading for the past 3 hours. Miss u L LAN!!!!!!!!
