GIM Diaries - EPISODE 4
First of all thank you very much for appreciation Mr Wackywizard aka Sriki aka scarecrow !!
Incidentally the next little memorable moment also happened with Sriki around and I hope he will vividly remember....unlike the last ones..this will be a short post.
Sometimes the workload in GIM becomes so high...that we often give authentication of data a miss...in other words, we simply take what we find in Wikipedia as GOSPEL TRUTH.
Now most of the time WIKIPEDIA is perfectly right...but because of the fact that it can be changed by anyone...its not considered an authentic source of data..
In the following memoir you will see how exactly GIM manages to maintain the high levels of quality in its instruction through strict adherance to scholastic principles...
So In one such class in PGP 1...I was going on giving some globaal shit like I owned it...
Me - Sir as you can see, as per so and so model...we can conculsively conclude that without an iota of doubt, whatever conclusion we have arrived at is decicively true and cannot be challanged on any logical grounds...(or something of this sort)
Finally there came a point where the professor had to stop the PPT and ask the most difficult question of my life...
Prof - Mr Jha....where did you find this data...this model??
Me - err...sir..on the net...
Prof - Where...If I may ask you...on the net?
Me - (shit...time to say the most dreaded four letter word) - Sir WIKI...
Prof - Aaahhh...WIKIPEDIA...
(Now the professor makes his way to the greenboard..and Scrawls three letters on it.....H....C...R.....)
Prof - Do you know Mr Jha...what is this?
Me - Err...no sir.
Prof - This is a new model that I have found. Its the HCR Model. The Hanuman Chalisiya Recycle Model...it encompasses all the models in this universe...and brings them together in one single model...and I am going to put it on Wikipedia...now will it become the truth??
Me - well...no sir..
Prof - Right...so you see Mr Jha...there is something that comes comes from the nether region of a bull...it is also known as Bullshit!! and thats exactly what you are giving me now!!!!
Needless to say...after this incident, I only opened wikipedia for quizzing purposes only !!!!
I do vividly remember the conception of HCR model..needless to say it acted as the single source for all the crap we espoused as it was an all encompassing model
Is GIM really such wonderfull place?
And I am serious asking this.

GIM Diaries - Episode 5
Social Initiative
Now guys if you are looking to be entertained or tickled...maybe you should stop reading this post and move to a more suitable webpage like desibaba.com or something like that...for this is a human story...
and unlike many situation described previously...I am glad and proud that it happened.
Now technically anything related to GIM, irrespective of where it took place, will be included under GIM Diaries...
I and Nitiksh worked for one of the world's largest business conglomerates for our summer projects. Niks once said..."dont be humble...you are not that great"...so I will take his advice and make a statement...we had one of the most prestegious internship offers in the whole batch...it was alottery..considering 76 of the batch;s finest ppl had applied for those profiles !!
Niks understood this and would reach office, in the very heart of Mumbai's prestegious business district Fort area, way before time and start his work...while I followed the japanese method called Just in TIME!!
So what this meant that we did no go to the office together, but we always came back together...
despite being able to afford it, I refused to take a First Class Railway Pass (some silly superstition)...So Nitiksh would come with me in the crowded second class...
This Magnanimous gesture from this 6 foot 200 pound monster also acted as an insurance policy against the rowdy jostling crowds of the second class...It would be no exaggeration...that many a time I got out of the train alive only because Niks was ahead of me clearing the crowd like a bulldozer!!
After geting down at Kanjur Marg station after the Killer 50 minute train journey, Niks would buy and Guzzle a bottle of his favourite poison, Minute Maid Pulpy Orange..while we waited for the premium AC bus service by the BEST called BRTS as Niks insisted on travelling in style after being pummelled in the second class wid me!!
I gave him company for BRTS because despite it costing three times more...it was always full of eye candy !! 
Anyway...so it was one such HOT HOT HOT May evening, when we were waiting, completely drenched in sweat, for the BRTS at the smoke filled kanjur Marg bus stop when someone began asking me for direction in frantic marathi !!
Now I took a very careful look at this person who was speaking in the most effeminate thin voice I had ever heard from a man's throat....
on first sight...he looked like a eunuch...but he was well dressed in a battered but clean shirt and pant and carried a polythene bag containing fat bundles of cheques held together by rubber bands...
I quickly recognised this person as suffering from hypogonadism...a disease characterised by extremely low levels of the male hormone testosterone, thus making a person look quite feminine...and acute anxiety is one of the main side effects of this ailment...
This guy was a complete mess and spoke only Marathi...
Guy - Sir...sir...do you know which bus goes to Saki Naka...?
Me - Yes...(and Nitiksh Quickly referred to his booklet of bus numbers and gave him all the details)
Guy - I am completely screwed...these are cheques which should have been in bank in Saki Naka 2 hours ago...I am late...I dont know what to do...People are not telling me anything...
Me - Are you ok?
Guy - Yes...yes...I am fine (But he looked like he will now faint)...Sir, can I...can i... have some water (Pointing to the Bottle of Minute Maid in Niks' hand)
Nitiksh promptly opened the bottle of minute maid and handed it to the thirsty man...
The guy eagerly took one sip...and promptly handed it back...
Guy - Ohh...sorry sorry...I thought this was water...my mistake..I am really sorry...
Niks - No no..please have it...its ok...
Guy - No no..you please keep it..you have bought it for yourself..
(Maybe the guy was scared Niks..the imposing ginat that he is might beat him up...so we put him at ease saying we insists he must have that bottle.....)
So the Guy went ahead and gulped down the whole bottle of minute maid in one go...and then he let out a satisfied "Aaaaah" that should have been recorded for soundtrack in Soft drink commercials...
Guy - I thank you so much ....I asked for water and you gave me juice...not everyone is so nice to me...people think I a some kind of a freak...
with this the guy almost broke down in tears...I had to calm him down and told him that was not true...most people in Mumbai have no hang ups in helping absolute strangers...
Soon, his bus came...of course this guy could not afford BRTS...he went in the red bus...but before Boarding the bus he gave us one last glance...and I can never forget the look of gratitude in the man's eyes for Niks...
If there is an accountant up there...this one act might save Niks from hell on judgement day....
Moral of the story...(If u care)
Niks became a honorary Mumbaikar that day...You are not a Mumbaikar if you have a ration card...You become a Mumbaikar the day you help a stranger without thinking twice ...Thats Mumbai Spirit...and I hope this spirit brings back this fin bond to Dalal Street one day!! Amin!!!

hello GIMites...
though i have not yet joined the PGP1 yet, but really wanted to write a post here.. the enthusiasm of this thread is very amazing.. especially JHA.. man this guy should be a writer... and many other seniors like him who have really kept this thread going... and since our seniors and gonna be PGP1s would be joining the new campus...
we would surely miss the calmness of mandovi river.. and the bike rides of causeway.. and that 400 year old memorial building.. and that girls hostel visit in GIM old campus in diwali
.... but i guess the GIM culture would remain intact in the new campus as well.... same old celebrations of festivals like diwali,holi,eid,etc but in a new way in a new campus...... hope to see u all in GIM....

Hello Peeepaaals!!!Ab nahi koi post daal raha hai toh hum kya karein...Log jeewan ki bhaag daud me itne masroof ho liye hain ki kisi ko is thread ki sudh hi nahi rahi :)Mera jiwan filhal theek thaak chal raha hai...lakhon ka target diya hai company ne....but I am well on my way to exceeding it...so god has been kind to me...I am travelling the length and breadth of Ghaziabad...turned 3 shades darker and met more Baniyas than I can handle..and have developed an awesome respect for their business acumen...This post is pretty special because here I am going to list out some of the most legendary dialogues that students of GIM have heard from the well...that shows the amount of wit that is infused the teaching here at GIM...1. " Dear students...if you want to sleep in class....please do...I have no objection to that...just do not SNORE.....or else Tumhare baju wala uth jayega!! "2. "Sales is a lot like courtship...u don't push at all...she (customer) will not even know who you are and you dont stand a chance...push to hard and she might dial 100 or get in public to beat you up...so u should push absolutely optimum !!!!"3. "A salesman should know who hs customer is sleeping with" !!!there are many more....but I will leave you with a quote (to shut up someone wo is bullshitting) that will exist in the minds of GIMites for as long as they exist....and till the school exists... "CUT THE FOREPLAY AND COME TO THE POINT!!!!
Today is a very special Day ... exactly 365 days back I started my journey at GIM. And I am proud that I came here. GIM changed my life completely, also the people I met here.. my batch mates, seniors, alumni, faculty and now juniors. Cant imagine that now I will be a PGP-2 ... a Senior Core Committee member of MECCA.
I have said this lots of time, will say it again today
If Kerela is God's own country then ... GIM IS GOD'S OWN B-SCHOOL
Finally released from the company today. And have starting thinking about how my life would shape at GIM. Have waited quite a long time now since my final offer letter in APRIL. And the wait gets much tougher when i hear that other B schools have started:-( . But i guess we would get the fruits of our patience. And a lot of surprises are waiting for us this time. A new campus.Na jane kaisa dikhta hoga voh
. Heard a lot of new good faculty has also joined. Also the selection process this year was very different from last year(THOSE PROFILE BASED CALLS) so expecting a huge diversity in the batch. Thinking how good the girls would be in my class. In INFY PUNE the crowd was good in terms of girls. Thinking about whether i would be able to perform well over there in SUCH A COMPETITIVE BATCH. just so many things going through my mind. But also thinking about ME SITTING ON THE BEACH WITH A BEER IN MY HAND WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF FRIENDS.. but for now.. waiting waiting waiting...

Few dialogues which snape will remember till he is alive :
"I dont give a damn", " I give a damn", " Bus 90 secs mam", " I deal wid nomorss" and the best ""Dont fight wid a pig, u will get dirty and she( i mean she) will njoy it"
