random thoughts...

im here!!

well i came in over 2 days ago so the initial super enthusiasn has died down a bit. but im still very enthu and all ga-ga about this place!!
IIM Indore is awesome!!Its still not resplendent in natural beauty but supposedly thats because the rains have not set in properly as yet. but the very aura of the place, the ambience.. its wonderful! i suddenly feel very grown up. in fact for the first time in my life, im with people who are far older than me. im so used to being among the bigger ones that this feels weird! the day i came in the watchman actually asked me if i wasnt too young to be studying here!
i was one of the first ones to arrive and therefore for the first day i felt a bit out of place. fortunately sanika came in by evening and things were better. i took her out on a super long walk all the way to the ATM at the main gate (for which im sure shes never gonna forgive me! ;o).. sorry sanika!!) spent all of yesterday walking about the campus exploring the place and also welcoming in all the newer people to come into A block which is the girls hostel. this year there are more girls than ever before at IIM I. for what i think is the first time, the girls are occupying 2 whole floors of the A block leaving the guys with only one floor in that block (which by the way has a sealed staircase leading there!) then the B, C, D blocks are all for the boys (or should i say gentlemen PGP participants!) the hostel rooms are really nice, quite spacious with a decent amount of furniture provided by them. good facilities and so far good mess as well!
classes (prep course) began today along with Physical Fitness and Health Management class. it was crazy getting up at 6 am for one hour of exercise and that was followed by one hour of meditation/vipassana class. now that wouldnt have been so bad had i not slept at 3 am after spending most of the night writing a report on my analysis of the 'applications of murphys laws to management'!!! get that!! assignments even before the classes have actually begun! and the worst part is that we werent really sure if the notice was genuine or a hoax put up by some seniors.. so we didnt even start until late night after 1130 coz at 11 we had a meeting with the senior girls of our block.. that was really nice actually(the meeting with the senior girls not the assignment)...
anyway it turned out my report was too short (only 9 pages and she wants a minmimum of 15!) so here i am whiling away my time at the computer centre (our lappies are not here yet) hoping my report extends itself to double its size in the next 1 hr.... actually, hope it works in the next 20 minutes coz i gotta go for chai at 4! ;o) (im actually living to eat here!! barely finished lunch and here i am waiting for tea!!!)
anyway.. guess ill have to go type something more in my report (or add more spaces in between the lines!!)
more updates later!
