Dunked!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!! and that too three times in a row.......even when my birthday was ages away. Once i volunteered for it as we ran on a treasure hunt, the second time was the price for watching a senior getting dunked, and well the third.......because we had won. But trust me its heavenly......the feeling of being chucked into the air and the flying through it to land into cool blue waters at 1 AM in the night.

Confused??? well thats ISB for you. The tradition of dunking the birthday boys and girls into the swimming pool has been there for sometime now. And having fun dunking and being dunked is just one of the number of things i have done over the past one week here.

The orientation week that got off to a roller coaster start last saturday just went on and on. From heavy dosage gyan sessions by alums and administrators that left one reeling, to the "really really" invigorating breathing exercises, from the treasure hunt across the campus on a hot hyderabad afternoon, to the cheering of the teams on the sports, and finally from what seemed like a never ending talent night to the four all night parties thrown in, and what have you. We had fun, met new people, learnt a lot about learning and so on and so forth. And guess what, this is supposed to be just the beginning and not even the real thing.



And theres this one thing about going back to the academic world that i have always thought to be extremely relevant. Not only does one get back to the books and the academic grind, but it also is that time when you can perhaps sit back and introspect on that one particular aspect about you that you can improve on. I mean of course student life is hectic and yet perhaps you might just be able to tailor it towards building on that one thing youve wanted to. Or you might rediscover something about you that did not. In fact as i see it, its not just a professional sabbatical, but a personal, emotional and intellectual sabbatical that should do wonders for you. And yeah, at the end of it, you might just also land up with a good job. he he he.
Hang on, am i dishing out more and more gyan to you???? christ, only a week and i become a gyan guru. So let me shut and up and go off with the promise of keeping the space updated.
