You get filled with experiences when you live in a hostel. You see life, naked and shameless in front of you. And life itself teaches you how to live it - that is perhaps the thrill of it. Days are passing here at the speed of light. And tomorrow, after the induction test are perhaps are few hours of our lives when we can still treat MBA as the extension of our graduation. Monday onwards, it is a pre-ponement of our managerial lives. Well, that is what we have been told by all. 19 June 2008 is perhaps one of those days (nights I should say...) that would shape things to come. It is these small things that vary your thinking to such an extent that it becomes a milestone in the course of your life. We had a students council meeting at 1600 hours. Most of the MBA-I guys reached anywhere between 1600-1615 hours. And we paid for it. With individual interviews that lasted night long, we sat on the cold stairs in front of canteen for hours. By 0415 hours, when we were let off, most of us had learnt a thing or two about discipline, and about how things just can't be ignored with the chalta hai attitude we Indians are so famous for. Oh yea, I managed to attend the 0900 hours lecture also after sleeping for 3 hours. Discipline and attitude towards work takes an altogether different meaning, even for a lazy bummer like me. And I have many more things to learn, including the 5 subjects I have to go through in order to pass my induction test tomorrow. Till next time - aloha!

Worse, if it turns out to be your mobile service provider wanting to confirm if you would want to upgrade your 3G plan (which in any case sucks with most providers in India!) Even worse, what if it turns out to be someone important, like your boss? Now you don't want to sound totally sleepy - do you? What would he/she be thinking of you if he were to ask, "Were you sleeping?" at 11 am in the morning? (And, this is judgmental attitude is especially true of older white haired balding bosses!) Well, here are a few tips to sound all alert & morning crispy when actually you would have killed him for ruining your sleep on a Saturday morning. They have worked well for me, hope they would for you too! - Take a deep breath, let the phone ring for a few seconds so that you get a chance to clear your head (hope you did not have much alcohol last night).
