Nostalgia from Term 2

Term two has by far been the toughest term in IIML. Just after the end of first term, many of us thought that nothing can be faster and more hectic than this. But well, we were terribly wrong footed. Term one was a net practice session for the actual match in term two.
Why is term two hectic?
1. Summers: Summers happen just one week before the midterm. Needless to say that most of the time before summers is spent in finalizing CV, filling various forms, preparing answers to various questions like * Why marketing? *, taking fundaes from seniors about various job profiles and last but not the least, attending PPTs. In IIML, PPTs are compulsory to attend as per a pre-described schedule. You miss one, and you shell out 1000 Rs. only.
2. Courses: The courses get tougher as there are lots of quantitive courses like FM, MANAC,OM and Stats.
3. Weather: Lastly, as November dawns, the weather tends to get chiller. And students tend to miss the early morning 830 classes just because they kept on snoozing their alarms and never came out of the environs of their *rajai*. The attendance rule is sweet and simple: Less than 80% of attendance, a grade drop of 3 grades

And yeah, I survived term II, equivalent to surviving the MBA :)
