the past several weeks have really been quite enjoin out here with a mix of projects and group assignments and pre reading as a part of the routine work...
most of the batch seems to be getting serious for the mid terms which are starting from 1st aug and most of us are studying for maintaining our CGPA...
so really had a good visit over several malls in gurgaon....which are a plenty here...rest weekends are quite boring out here with most of the guys going to their homes in delhi...
will get back soon by next weekend...
Back to PG.. after a long time..
owing to my infrequent visits, its no surprise i am dis late in sharing my experience..
had a real good time in d frst month here.. d classes, d quizzes, d projects, d games , d people and above all d life, which just doesnt seem to halt here..
sports is in full swing here.. had a good game with seniors yesterday.. i took the field with PG's very own Mufasa.. (@ mufasa: pehchana?? 😉 )
m livin at change masters annexe at idpl, and its fun.. we never expected it to be as thrilling as it is turning out to be... and as varun said, we have the fiercely competitive idpl league... so guys preparing fr cat, gear up , you have only 300 odd seats here..fight it out
enjoy
finally the mid terms r starin at us........
it has been over 6 weeks at MDI.......but time just flies by....no wonder tey say tat time is the most precious commodity here.......
god save the mid terms....
It has been approximately 5 weeks now since the beginning of life at MDI and it has been an absolute roller coaster ride.
Fractured My leg on the first day of college. Was on crutches for about 3 weeks or so. So missed out on the fun initially. But am trying to catch up on all that I missed.
Exams starting this friday, so have started doing more rounds of the library - AC jo hai waha.. But i can see that most of our batch has still not woken up to the fact that we have exams this week - Movies, late night counter-strike matches etc. still continue. Guess we want to have a real life practice of being managers-doing everything at the last moment.
Project work is fun. Most of the work gets done on the last two days. Quizzes are really killing me - Have been at the top-most as well as the bottom most rung of the ladder on different occassions. Have a slight expectation of a duck on the last economics quiz I gave. Lets see.
The climate here is really hot. Wish it would rain more often.
Gotta go. Have to prepare an assignment

Feels like yesterday that I was trying to prepare for my 1st mid term exam. The juniors have their mid terms from Friday. This is how quickly time has flown here at MDI.
Sports as mentioned is in full swing. We had two cricket and a football match last weekend. There is some talent in the new batch. They manage to put a fight in most of the matches, though we end up winning is a different matter.. 😉 Jokes apart, have met really talented and wonderful juniors..
Our mid terms got over long time back and end terms will be soon on us.. But the time in between will be utilised for club interviews and trying to identify the people who will carry the MDI name into the next year...
really the time is flying away out here @MDI
most are busy with exam preparations
i'm having my unnati interview tonight so really busy for past 2-3 days...
4 midterms down....or, rather, 4 blows to the face, 3 more to take ;)
Getting back to exams after two years of work ( well,mostly, no exams in final year for real, so that makes it three ) was tougher than I had thought - and I had thought it would be way tougher....but its given me experiences of my own to cherish .
First of all, running around at 3 in the morning for a lost calculator, while my friends debate on how stupid I am to worry over such a trivial matter ( well, that trivial matter helped me keep my head off the looming stats exam )...staying up all night studying for the microeconomics exam only to find out that marketing was my real waterloo
But then again, such is life at MDI - even after all that, you can still play the odd game of Counterstrike, or, more probably, go have a game of badminton or football. I wanted to sing the MDI anthem here, but I guess its something best known once you get here ;)
Cheers!

Over wid MidTerm exams...
finally we know whats it like to be sitting in a Bschool exam
Finally busy wid a lot of club selection procedures (Let me tell you there are a number of clubs on campus). You really have to decide on it carefully.
The weekend was really exciting beginning from solving the unsolvable quizzes of Qriocity and then partcipating in various events like Taktika and Advent
Had a guest lecture from a German Plastic making firm(Sorry cannot recall name)
Another lecture is lined up for Thursday by Lehman Brothers.
So amidst all the academic rigour there is a slight hope finally...
A night party is lined up from our side for seniors (Traditionally called Thanks Giving Party). So hope to enjoy a lot tonight....
Will get back soon...with lot of new informations
and wat a thanks giving party was that..............
kudos to the batch for havin organised such an awesome party........and thanks to the seniors for such an overwhelming response.......
frankly the time here just seems to fly by.......so much to do n so less time.....i really need to learn my lessons on time management
meanwhile.......i hope to get into some really good clubs out here.......
more to come.....
back to campus after a long weekend...
fresh for new ventures...
the results for the clubs are out...
C'mon PG 08 guys this thread is becoming really boring and no one is posting...
everyone has so much to talk about but why r u guys reluctabt in posting on the thread...lets keep the legacy...
requesting PG08 guys to contribute to the thread....
and specially to the corp com ....
Lots of activities happening on the campus these past many days.
First of all, all the club selections got over.
Most of the seniors are finished with their end-term exams and are beginning to leave the campus for the holidays. Many of them are packing feverishly for their exchange programmes. There are seniors going to France, Denmark, Poland, England, Germany, U.S etc to conquer these lands and show the true mettle of Mandevians there. Best of luck to all of them.
Sports Week for the juniors has taken off like anything. It began yesterday with cricket matches between various sections. Some of the matches in addition to the competition also saw a charged atmosphere between the supporters. Regular Spamming wars through mail have also created a competitive environment between the sections. In addition to cricket, the sports week also has football, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, lawn tennis, carrom, chess etc. It is really going to be a busy week.
At MDI, I have experienced a lot of new things everyday. Today was one such day. We had Janmashtami Pooja at midnight which was organised by "Sanskriti" the cultural club of MDI. Followed by distribution of Prasad.
About two hours back, I experienced for the first time in my life the traditional "Matkiphod" ceremony. After two unsuccessful tries, we succeeded in the third try. It was a three level pyramid that we had to make to finally accomplish the task. Awesome fun...
Will be back with more updates...

Been a while since I posted here. And I do so now in the humid confines of ma home. Since our exams were advanced (yes!, preponed is not a word as our Finance prof reminded us a few days back :D)..so the seniors now have a 2 week break.
This was easily our rigorous term yet. The professors have made us work harder than ever..in fact I am working on 2 assignments now
The profs were kind enough to allow us to submit this late..but then the vacation gets screwed ;)
Yesterday was the last juniors vs seniors match for a while. I had to miss it due to my travel plans but the juniors have fought back very well. With a lot of seniors going on exchange, the juniors now have to be the torchbearers.
Speaking of exchange, we will miss our batch mates a lot but then we look forward to meeting the tons of foreigners

Well said Rockball ... this term has been one hell of a term in many ways more than one.... and its not over yet.... m in bombay and still have to submit my Strategy project :((
Campus right now was in midst of a sports epidemic if I may use this phrase ...... never before I guess in the history of MDI Sports have been celebrated with so much fervour I guess ... (besides the legendary PG07 Sec-A v/s Sec-C match last year obviously ... n0thing can beat that I guess 😉 )
LEft campus on tuesday for a 10-12 day break ...but was not exactly feeling happy/excited leaving for home... felt strange. I guess this is partly due to the realisation that now with each passing day we have one less day left on our beloved campus... and trust me thats a dreadful thought!!
Already longing to get back to MDI!! 😃
heyaa....
