Playing basketball helps you concentrate on studies. Experiences @ Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon.

Yes, you read it right. Basketball does help you concentrate on your studies.

My study began a week after I played basketball. Now you're wondering why a week after. That's because I was limping with a cast all over the place.

"Sportsman Spirit", he called it. The radical human being who "checked" me FROM BEHIND. Yes, EXACTLY!

Looking at the swelling on my foot, I went to the nearest hospital, Columbia Asia. WHAT A RIPP OFF. Oh my god! Freakin insane. The X-Ray, Bandage, POP and the medicines all combine came to a good 1,600 bucks. "Not bad for a super specialty hospital", one might say but then came the actual bill which included the doctors labor charge for  a PISS-POOR job in putting a plaster for my bad ankle, a whopping 3,800 bucks. WTF right! One can only imagine what they'd charge for something like a simple surgery. Guess, they'll charge more than what Dr. Devi Shetty would charge for his most expensive treatment. COLUMBIA ASIA, never again.

Term 1 - Team 9 - L-R - Vivek, Yogesh, Yashpal,Anshuman, a few laptops and no bed spread. Location- My room @ GLIM 

Getting used to the cast took a while but I did. I had to. Flew down an Aircast from Bangalore to compensate the crap which the doctor at Columbia Asia put on my ankle as I had to wear it for four weeks. In the meantime, apart from gaining weight, I was very involved in my project work. Which I must admit turned out better than what I expected. \m/

Stuff you learn in B-School, "You're here to compete, no matter what the ground. There is always trying to get you from the back." (No negative connotation intended. You pervert!). FACT.

Cheers!
