Crazy Days of Our Lives

Once upon a time I had thought that at IIMs, unlike at IIT, I will be like Momma's Good Boy... attend all lectures, study well for exams, get good marks, live a good and nice life. But like some people who get screwed-up, right in their head, I don't know how to handle myself. Mid-term exams, as usual, came up so soon and all ended up in a last moment fiasco. A course called "Competition & Strategy" is a real MBA course, which means I am very good at screwing it up to the best of my potential! So it doesn't matter whether I study for that or leave it up to God. "Macroeconomics" is a very interesting course but I suffered from an inability to discriminate between what IIMs want and what I can do well, so it turned out to be a mightly Blooper! Then we have a course in which it is +1 if you do correct and -1 if you do wrong. Actually, life is like that. It is not so much for the good that you are, but for the bad things you've done that you'll be held back. In the end if the score is negative, everyone will rip you apart!

Some interesting things have happened after the exams got over. Imagine this. The two and half weeks of unshaved face, indicating that I have given up in life. Hair grown wild, a look which the barber shop guy would love to see. Eyes showed the merciless starvation of sleep. So around an hour goes to get the normal looks back so that the people can be comfortable with you.

oops! an interruption...

I forgot to introduce the best thing which has happened in IIMB. Since I am an animal who lives a social life, I need some animals around with me. Now this is a bit nerdy but cannot help it in order to explain to you properly - In some theory of some kind of mathematics, there exists a concept of Type 2 error. It says that which should not be accepted is being accepted is because its a Type 2 error. Five people have been accepted by IIMB; we are the Type 2. We live together, we laugh together, together we freak-out the academic culture of IIMB. We form the anarchism outbreak! But! Don't be under the delusion of understanding it beyond whatever I said. We have a hostel secy, potential four pointers, sports fanatics, presidents (past, present and future), etc... Just that - Our goal is Freedom, nothing worldly about it.

Type 2 decided to go out of the institute and smell the bangalore air for a change. Yeah! just for a change, but it changed our entire plan of action to relax and chill. The following sequence of events happen.
2pm: Type 2 reaches INOX to find that there is a movie which sounds good - American Gangster. All heads up for the movie but the movie was to start at 3.30.
2 to 3.15: Type 2 decides to have lunch, but not at usual brigade road / MG road places. Hostel Secy boy comes up with the idea of going to cooper chimney. As I feared, the bill shot up above expectations, but man! I found it to be an amazing place to eat. People who are unaware - Cooper Chimney in Central Mall of Bangalore Rocks! You get an amazing view though the glass walls, one of the very few buildings in Bangalore which offer such a view.
3.30: Movie was really good. If you liked Godfather (obviuosly you would have liked it), watch American Gangster... you'll like it for sure.
7:00: Type 2 suffers the daily Bangalore's favorite social mass procession of honking, shouting, jumping signals and all the mass revelry. Yep! the traffic jams :)
8:00: Type 2 decides to park at PVR to watch another movie. The 2.5 km way to institute would have been more than 1 hour long. So the next movie at 8:10 was John Rambo. If you liked Rambo movies in the childhood, you'll like this movie even now. The fighting scenes are awesome!
8:45: It felt as if there was a power-cut, but seriously just half an hour and intermission! We understood that the movie won't last even till 9.30. Since the level of fatigue was crossed beyond threshold, nothing was lost in watching yet another movie. Through some sources we got to know that the movie - Mithya is a Hindi, comedy, not-so-crappy movie. Stress level was very high after watching violent movies and facing the bangalore mass procession. Thinking that its better to watch a comedy movie and rest in peace at night, we sneaked out in the middle of the movie to buy 10pm tickets for Mithya.
10pm: After a quick dinner, we saw a contingent from IIMB for the same movie, but better prepared to hold back to the seats even if the movie turned out to be crappy. Actually, though everything was arbit in the movie and efforts to make people laugh were lame, the movie was really good. So watch Mithya but once and forget it, don't analyze it after watching.
1am: Type 2 returns back to insti. The sweetest thing in IIMB is that you can get to eat for 24 hrs. Infact, it has led to a habit of eating every 1-2 hours in the campus.
1.45am: Believe it or not, Type 2 decides to watch a legendary actor's tamil movie. We ended up this day with holyshit! Obviously why the hell would I want to see a regional language movie. But I want to tell a truth that Tamil Movies are a different form of art altogether. The actors are totally different species, highly speculative for psyching out the common man. They make movies in the world of their own. God sends a few tamil superstars to change the world, but I have no words to explain how freaked out I was when I saw this awesome movie's songs. The man is Sam Anderson. The name might act like Vandermonde if you dare to see the following video.

Warning! "The comments for this video on youtube say that If you haven't laughed for a while, this is a the best one." But actually I would recommend - If you haven't got psyched out for a while, shouted "Oh F***" out of amazement and laughed out your stomach, this is a good one.
