I cannot compromise on my sleep @ Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon

It's a funny thing really. I never expected days like these. We have to do 6 billion hours of work in a day. I don't know if I feel good about the pressure or not. One thing for sure. There is a lot getting done and I aint complaining about that. \m/

There is one other thing though. You need to sacrifice the sacred thing called sleeping. A LOT OF IT. I however, am a firm believer that sleep is very important for every human. So what to I do. Sleep. Sleep a good seven hours a day. "It's really bad for your health, you know". :P

Yes, I do understand that one needs to stay awake for alteast twenty nine and a half hours a day to ace in Bschool but we are management students. Coming up with a better solution is what we want to be good at. Can a project be more "live" and "involved" as this? Ofcourse not.

You obviously have something you want to do apart from studying. Go to the mall, watch a movie, play poker, drink "fruit juice".. Something.. But you do. And that is obviously more important (I know. I agree with you).

Hey, I did not come up with all this. It was Uncle Bala (Founder of Great Lakes Institute of Management) who said it when he was teaching is Management Accounting. He said, make sure you chill out the day before the exam. So here I am, chilling. Watching "Battleship" followed by "Death Race 3" and then planning to sleep like a Sloth with the air conditioner set at 16 degrees while I'm rolled up with my super awesome quilt that was bought when I was probably in high school.

Like I said, "I cannot compromise on my sleep. Even if I'm @ The Great Lakes Institute of Management"

You heard me.

And this is how it started.

D-Day. Also, it was my last day as a Bangalorean. My folks moved to Chennai and I'm here.

In Bangalore Airport with folks (22nd May, 2013)

Landed in the Delhi airport and the first thing I thought was that my face was going to tear off because of the 40 degree heat wave. It makes Chennai heat seem like a breeze. FACT!

Thank God for AC, I made it to college. The receptionist handed over a few documents for me to fill and had to sort of stuff with the fee, accommodation and scorecards. (This was a long wait).

The stuff rounded up around 4pm and we headed back to the Osho's (bearable) hostel which is around 7 kms from the campus. Luckily, they have an option for you to move into an apartment close by where you need to share a 3 bed room apartment which has a gym, a pool, Wifi and a long running track. I obviously chose that. :P

Once that decision was made, had to call it a day. Everyone was excited about the match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Lost - YESS!!! They could've atleast given Bangalore a chance. Serves you right ****hes). I however, slept for a good seven hours and head the results over coffee and was happy about it. lol

Thats it for now. In the words of Truman "Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night).

Cheers!
