Wait a minute, did I tell you about the assignments? We have a tonne of them. And this is just the first Semester.

Its 1 in the morning, I'm starring at my book. ZAPPED!! And I have to prepare for a quiz tomorrow and here I am trying to type this post. Seems like just another day in good old Great Lakes.

Passed out (coz of the most uncool thing EVER!- Economics)

 Yes, my mind is FRIED!! My mind isn't working to even think of words for this post.

That's it for now.

Good Night

22 hour day at Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon

Time, you tend to realize the value of it as days pass by at Great lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon.

We want to do everything, everyday in the least possible time. Fact is, we are wrong. Time management, a self taught subject, is something we will develop here. And that is pretty evident.

Individual assignments, group assignments and more need to managed well during your course here. Wait a minute! Did I tell you about the assignments already? No?

The weekend was close, not because we could do nothing in the holiday but do a lot. "Man of Steel" in the theaters and I vowed to see the movie when the trailer for the trailer had come out. So there wasn't a shadow of a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be missing it even if Superman himself asked me not to.

After a standing ovation* (Notice the star sign) for my motivational "Go after your dream!" speech in the Business Communication session, Ritvik (Also an ardent Superman fan) and I forced the Delhi boys to book tickets somewhere, anywhere that one of their cars can take us.

Considering that my day started at 5 in the morning for reasons I am unable to recall (lets assume I was studying), it was incredibly difficult to go for a movie after 8PM but NO! Abhinav Mayaram had plans that could've probably changed his life (or so he claims) and we went on to book the 11:40 PM show. Yes, read that again.

So there we were, with a lot more time in our hands and what did we do? "Beer!", we said. Zaidi and Richa took us to this place called Underdog in Ambiance Mall. The place was OFF THE HOOK!! One of the best sports bars I've ever seen. Moreover, India - Pakistan match was on. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I don't even like cricket. A tonne of photographs later, we realised that that the movie was about to start and we left. Happy, high and more!!

We barely survived the movie. We struggled to keep our eyes open. Infact, I think I dozed off a couple of times during the movie not knowing what I have missed. It was 2:30 in the morning. By the time the movie ended, I was half asleep. I did not care if Superman was going to die or not. Overall, I liked the movie. It did not live upto my expectation but there were certain scenes that blew my mind. Thanks to the awesome beer at Underdog.

We reached back at 3 AM. Yes, I crashed with my jeans on.

*Did not happen. They probably yawned.

"First Rain" @ Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon

Yes, very sentimental. The expression of the day - Tears of joy. A part of Bangalore experienced. Actually, a part of Bangalore (when bad) discovered.

Walked out onto the verandah and experienced breeze, actual breeze. The kind that is worth mentioning. "There is a God", I said to myself.

As dramatic as the situation was, I heard a bunch of retards singing "Rain is falling, chumma chum chum" (An ancient Hindi song. If you haven't listened to it. Don't bother, you didn't miss much). What a Buzz Kill! *Slaps forehead*

Speaking of Buzz Kill, a beer in the evening would've been the perfect combination but no, we aren't in heaven. We're at Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon and they love to give us assignments. Not one, not two but six hundred and fifty four billion assignments that have final submission dates no more than a week from today. You can just imagine how this day went. Started with an assignment in Marketing and ended with a partly done assignment in Organizational Behavior.

Bliss!!..... NOT.... but I wasn't complaining. It rained for almost 12 hours. So.. "Half-Bliss"
