As a continuation 2 the earlier post.. God did give Dutto the strength to wake up.. So I was able to attend the lecture.. Yeaaah !!
One bad thing which has happened over the last few weeks is that my body cycle has screwed up big time.. People say it's normal in a B school, because of the hectic schedule here.. but I tend to stay awake throughout the night even if I've no work to do.. For instance now.. I'm making this blog at 6 15 am..
Had back to back quizzes on 25th and 26th, but the 25th got rescheduled to 27th (Will be writing it in about 10 hours time)..
Now when everyone was running helter-skelter, preparing for the Macro-Eco Quiz on 26th, I chanced to open the lone game on my mac.. NFS Most Wanted.. I used to hate racing games.. Until this moment, that is.. I played that game for 9 hours on the 25th.. Man! It's so addictive.. However after much self-imposed control, I managed to do some studies on that night (as usual till 5 30 - 6 ) and then again the next day.. Was pretty confident by the test time.. Looks like my efficiency is improving.. And the exam: AMAZING!! A paper in which each question made you think and apply whatever you've understood.. The kind of paper where I enjoyed writing and would not care how much I score..
Now once an exam gets over, I never feel like studying.. But I didn't even take proper rest to make me feel fresh for tomorrow's quiz.. placecom was doin their work, controls was doin their work, some ppl were studying in their rooms/library, many were sleeping.. n WE.. we bakared away our time.. Baaaah!! Am over-estimating my efficiency now, I guess.. :P

20th-23rd Nov: Alumni, Wet Night and Projects
Oft repeated thing.. Backdated Blogging again!! I hate it!!
Got 2 days off from lectures thanks to the Alumni Homecoming events.. Although some serious (read boring :P ) people might've utilized this time for preparing for upcoming project submissions, quizzes, I utilized it nicely for sleeping, performing a Street Play, hogging on the excellent lunch provided in the JLT lawn (Prawns curry in coconut gravy.. aaaahhhh.. I almost had a mini orgasm while having it), attending some boring talk sessions conducted as a part of the Homecoming (I felt bad for the alumni.. you call these people to a remote far-off place like Jamshedpur and you keep lectures for them to attend.. So insensitive!!).. And no event is successfully concluded without a Wet Night... So had the customary wet night.. But this one was by far the saddest wet night that I've attended at XL, for the sheer less attendance here (bloody "ghissus" working on their OB2 and Law projects)..
21st Nov: A typical medium pressure situation.. coz there were two project submissions the following day and needless to say there was a lot of work pending on both the projects.. Now the ghissus would be having the last laugh.. By night, the pressure was gradually building up.. 10 page report and a ppt to be prepared for OB2 and a 5 page report to be prepared for Law... The usual calculation of the ratio of time left by the work left had started...
22nd Nov: High pressure situation!! The projects submission day!! Got up at 9 30 and sat in one place doing the project till 5.. No break, no facebook, no blogs, no watching cricket, missed a lecture, skipped breakfast, lunch, snacks.. Now that's called dedication!! Anyways, the presentation made by our group turned out to be pretty crappy. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to present.. It feels good to assume that it would've been better had I got that chance :P .. But finally, what counts is the project is OVER! Celebrated it by watching a movie: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".. Amazzzing Movie btw..
23rd Nov: The weather has become awesome now.. It's become very cool.. It's become extremely difficult to get out of the bed in the morning.. Dutto took the responsibility of waking up the entire 4th floor for the 9 am lecture.. God Bless Him!.. And thanks to Dutto again, I got up from my noon siesta (which went on for about 3 hours) to go and give the Law viva which lasted for just 1 minute.. The shortest viva of my life!!
The highlight of the day: Thanks to Luthu Maharaj realized that my name had appeared in Hindustan Times for winning the Bosch Case Study at Ensemble!! Wooohhoooo!! (Would try to get a cut out, scan it and paste a copy here as soon as possible)
Just back from an Accounts session taken by Miss ICWA.. She was stricter than most of the professors here.. :P But, brilliantly taught!! Hats off!!
Ok.. almost 4 am now.. Laal Salaam has already started snoring loudly.. God, please give me the strength to be able to wake up for the 9 am lecture (Aai has started keeping a tab on the number of 9 am lectures I'm missing, DANGER!!).. If not me, at least give Dutto the strength to do so.. :D

19th Nov: Cheeeeeel Maaar
After sleeping yesterday at 5 30, got up today at 2 30.. nice NINE HOURS SLEEP!!! :D :D
Had to get started with the OB project.. But then.. Project Submission date 3 days away.. so.. Cheeeel Maaar.. :P
Still, to avoid wasting the day completely, had an OB group meeting, which was quite helpful.. Might streamline our efforts in the next 2 days..
Ohh.. Yes.. There are a lot of XL Alumni on the campus for the Homecoming event.. It's good to see these oldies coming here and acting like college guys again.. Do I see my future? Have heard some more alumni coming tomorrow by their chartered planes.. Ah.. Now I definitely see my future... ;)
Just came back after playing Lawn Tennis for the first time in my life.. And I definitely don't want it to be the last time.. Coz, I didn't suck as much as I thought I would.. :P
It's 4 45 am, and am not at all sleepy.. So, what do I do? Study?? Naaaah... :P

18th Nov: Testing Times
9:36 showed the cell phone, when I looked at it with squinted eyes right after I got up.. Missed the lecture.. :( .. Thankfully could attend Lady Teddy's lecture with the other section...
Today was the Test Day.. And Boy! What a Test!! I felt as if I'm back to school giving my "Unit Tests".. The questions in our Law exam consisted of Fill in the Blanks, Write Short Answers, Give Short Notes... :D
2 days of holidays declared.. Some guys planning to go on an overnight trip.. I'll prefer sleeping in Room Number 425 and doing some of the pending assignment work ... In case, I sound like a geek, beware.. Coz, I've always thought and planned like a geek.. It's only in the execution part that I lose track of the geekiness..
Ohh.. 5 15 am.. Time to sleep.. Planned to sleep early, get up early and go and have breakfast at Sonnet.. Looks like, we'll have to postpone the plan for some other day... :-)

17th Nov: OB2-XX-055 ends!!
Back in school, "Exam next week" used to be a super pressure situation.. Now "Exam tomorrow" also seems like a chilled out situation. So, we were supposed to have our Law Midterm tomorrow.. But who wants to start so early? 77 slides and around 20 pages to read for the test and 14.5 hours to go.. So, procrastinated the test preparation.. (as usual :P)
So, we are finally done with the pre-class assignment crap of the Smiling Assassin.. So no more "OB2-XX-055".. But these assignments were very helpful.. My typing speed has improved more because of them.. Also, I have gained the competence of filling 2 pages of GAS in half an hour's time.. Apart from that, they just helped me to make a very frequent use of MS Word, nothing else..
Oh.. suddenly remembered the test for tomorrow before sleeping... And then, the classical dilemma of "whether I should get up early tomorrow and study or should I study till late and get up late".. Much to my discomfort, chose the 2nd option... Lady Teddy's class tomorrow at 9 am.. Don't wanna miss...

16th Nov: Sleeepppyyy
As expected, it proved to be a wise decision of not studying for Mees Queez's test.. But would've been wiser had I slept properly and not whiled away the time at night and had a sleep of just 3.5 hours.. Result.. was too sleepy in the morning.. The exam was pretty random.. So sad that, it was Mees Queez's last lecture with us... And going by the feedback which we have given her and we might give towards the term end, it might well be her last lecture at XL.. (That's mean.. but true.. )
At the cost of sounding like a sexist, I feel that it is rare to find a female with a great sense of humor and who can crack witty jokes.. But when I find such women, I'm completely impressed by them.. Lady Teddy is the latest addition to this list.. This is what happened soon after the "queez"..
Lady Teddy was teaching about some interest rates and government expenditure and overall production.. Then, suddenly she started talking about fees in XL and asked me, "Did you pay the fees for this term?"
I was like.. "No.. The last day is 30th Nov.. A lot of time 2 go for that.."
She said.. "Well.. It's not 30th, It WAS 15th.. Do one thing.. Run to the bank now.. And get the DD.."
Hearing so, I was about to get up and start running immediately.. I lost my balance and was about to fall... Had to prevent the fall.. "WHaaammmm!!" A loud noise of my legs banging against the seat and my hands holding the desk.. Lady Teddy was still busy with Nominal and Real Interest Rates.. The class looks amused and starts laughing... "Damn it!! I was dreaming the whole while!!!".. She thinks it was my neighbor and says to him, "I'm sorry.. Did I wake you up?"
LAUGHTER
He : "No ma'm.. wasn't me.."
LT: "Oh! Coz I saw you sleeping a while ago.. that's when I lowered my volume"
LAUGHTER
Me: "Well ma'm.. it was me.. I woke up a little violently.."
LAUGHTER
LT: "Oooh.. Good.. I appreciate your honesty.. "
LAUGHTER
LT: (with a smile) "But I don't appreciate the fact that you were sleeping though.. "
LAUGHTER
LT: "How can you sleep in the class? I mean.. It's so uncomfortable 2 sleep here on the wooden desks and that too with so much noise going around.."
LAUGHTER (I join in too..)
LT: "Ok.. Back to interest rates..."
Everyone wide awake by now.. :D
What a personality!! Admiration and Respect for her!! :)

15th Nov: Post Ensemble
Man!! I agree.. Blogging isn't easy. A regular blogger like Mucchhad deserves a standing ovation..
The last post mentioned about the increasing amount of workload.. It continued for around 10 days.. and then the festive season began.. Ensemble 2010..
This was the first time I was going to look at a festival as a participant and not an organizer.. Had consciously stayed away from being involved with any organizing part.. Was kind of excited about my new role... But the event disappointed me to an extent.. Most of my batch mates went home.. there was hardly any excitement on the campus before the festival or even during the festival.. There was very little participation from other colleges.. So the entire festival seemed so "un-festive"..
Anyways.. Ensemble ended with yours truly participating in an IR-related group case study competition (which we won.. :) :) ), a creativity based event (where our creativity was eliminated in the 1st round itself) and a street play (where people seemed to enjoy it).. No event ends here without the customary "Wet Night".. So boozed, danced a lot n finally slept at 6.. and needless to say missed today's 9 am lecture..
Now again.. we have realized that a lot of work has piled up.. I guess, that is the time I think of blogging.. :P
btw.. I've 2 give a quiz after 5.5 hours.. Tried studying, but all of us have realized that there's no point in studying for the quiz of 'Mees Queezer'..
And yes.. I'll try to be more punctual with my blogging.. I think that's possible.. Coz I don't think there will be a situation, where we wouldn't have any work..
Yawwwwwwnnnn!!
