One month at a bschool


Joined FMS for MBA(MS) on 3rd July. Today's 2nd August. So it implies I've completed one longg month at one of the premier institutes....phew!!!

Before coming here, whenever i told ppl i m joining FMS, delhi... only 2 things came out of them - be cautious-delhi isnt safe for girls; & FMS-a 2-yr-party. Life becomes so lotta easy when one is made to believe that FMS is so chilled out, esp to a lazy bum like me! but sigh! i really wanna meet all those ppl-who-give-false-hopes and give them a piece of my mind!!

So now, all those who have unfortunately reached my blog and ineptly reading thru this post... welcome to the world of a FMSite!! Day starts at 8am. From 9am-4pm professors beat their heads against ours to unsuccessfully(most of the times) imbibe in us some basics of accounting, statistics, economics, OB, marketing, n so on... few might think here-4 pm only! Wow! but i will only call them overzealous..atleast lemme rest my case first!

4pm is the entry time for seniors, of dfferent societies, like finesse(finance), persona(hr), markit(marketting), synopsys(IT n ops). We have presentations, debates, writeups to be submitted... 2 societies per day for intial 2 weeks... we get free by 8.30 pm. come back to hostel, have dinner, and then try n book one of the 3 working computers in the lab in hostel (since we dont have laptops yet!) cos there r presentations, assignments for tomm!

life becomes easy the 3rd week, cos the part-timers come at 6, and the societies can go on only till then. life becomes easy for another reason too- we getting used to it. now we can work for 20 hrs a day, and its fine... guess thats what the seniors intended us to learn, apart from the usual gain in knowledge base...

the sundays are some relief ofcourse with the sparks society chipping in with fun activities like treasure hunts, football match, volleyball match (which we lost to seniors) that take away the grind of the past week.

3rd weekend was the best of all, we had our freshers' party!!!! oh gosh that was so much fun!! dance dance... 5 hrs! letting our hair down (literally too!) the party also made few dormant members of the class to show their true colors! i seriously didnt know that some of the seniors, let alone some of my classmantes, could dance so well, n can njoi themselves too!! dont ask how much the body ached the next day!!! :D

so ppl, now u must be agreeing that FMS is not as chilled out as its made to be... ya we have fun, but thats not the only thing to it!

now we take things in our stride. presentation? will do it in 2 hrs. writeup? will complete it yaar. proffessor's assignment? copy it from me if u didnt do it! free early? lets go to priya's.even satya niketan's CCD will do! evening walks to hooting in a formal workshop (totally unintentional!) to going to a pub-cum-disc just 5 mins before its closing n asking 3 arbit girls to accompany to make the girls-boys ratio equal, to out for movie till 2.30 am, my class has done it all! how can i forget the truth-dare sessions! esp when the truth question get so monotonously stuck to asking "if u were asked to select one guy/gal from the class, who will it be!" yet they were so entertaining... esp linking up ppl owing to the answers they give...

so thats in short my one month at FMS... n ya, as anyone from the class would say, "I'm lovin' it!!"
