A People's Republic!

I am a great fan of psychology ,body language and watching people. So IIM Lucknow has offerred me an altogether different platform for watching people. After all , with jargons like *diversity *, *work-ex* et al, I felt that I will be meeting a wide repertoire of people!
Everyday in mess, hostel,library, I have been meeting different kinds of people. Some honest, some cunning, some are really studious, some are perspicacious :D
Only 1 week or so has passed and somehow some initial impressions have started forming.
Some of them have disappointed me. I have been really enamoured by some of them. Some are really focussed. Some are studying hard. Some hardly study.
There is a genuine difference from people at IITB (Sem 1) and IIML (term 1) though. I met a lot of *namoonahs* at IITB, the creed which specializes in * We study a lot and still want to portray us as the ones who don't study*.
To support their cause, these people used to lock their hostel rooms from outside and they used to study in their locked rooms. So that nobody knows that they are studying !
Some of them used to study in cellphone light with lights off in the hostel room , just to give others' the feeling that they are sleeping!

In IIML, atleast people are studying openly and not *chup chup ke*..Well ab tak atleast :)!
