The beforementioned financial accounting presentation is scheduled for tomorrow. And we are back in the department working, and for a change now everyone is working and nobody is sleeping. Especially after today's financial management test where everyone was caught unawares. (I hope I atleast end up with marks in the higher half of single digits) Life has become amazingly pathetic. Every alternate day we have some or the other assignment / project / presentation / submission/ test (please, forgive me if I forgot something, I havent slept for god knows how many days...)
I wont even be able to explain our daily schedule... we ourselves dont know. We come to the department and work on whatever assignment / project..... we have to submit the next day....
The tea board and the mess are the only consistancies in life....

Longest days in my life.....
Date: 19 November and 20 November....
Had a Financial accounting presentation yesterday, 19. And as usual we were not prepared :-)
So we had no other option other than sleepwalking throughout the night to finish the assgnent and make the presentation. The past so many days here have been a black box, we go to the department in the morning and come back late at night... What we do in between even we dont know.
Anyways so yesterday the entire class was in the seminar hall slogging it out trying to figure out the balance sheets of some good and some unheard of companies. Of course this was accompanied by a few(?) trips to the tea board. ( and back to the department. Our travel route is generally Dept to tea board to hostel, we still have to figure out a route to our hostel which does not go thro the tea board.) So here we were 20 wanna be MBA slogging out (which we have been for the past so many day) in the seminar hall. In fact our seminar hal has become our dormatory I think I go back to my room only to change clothes and bathe... Vishnu slept on the couch outside the dorm, sorry seminar hall at 2 pm. That guy has an amazing ability to handle stress. He just sleeps... And we worked and worked and worked till 5 am (YES, AM... MORNING) and we were still unfinished with our assignment. But we decided to go back and sleep. so we woke up Vishnu. He opened his eyes, our converstaion was:
ME: Vishnu, 5 baj gaye. chal jaate hain
Vishnu: 5 baj gaye, shit...
And he wnt back to sleep. Sp bhargav and I promptly went back to pur rooms, tried to sleep and were back for our presentation at 0830. And we thought that things cant get worse than this. God knows how many days since we had more than 4 hours of sleep.........
And were we wrong
Fast forward to the second seminar, Sinu and Baneesh were presenting. I dont think anybody knows what they said, we were busy working on our own assignments. Suddenly Sinu says, My head is spinning, Baneesh will take over. Nivea go to her, shakes her and finds that Sinu is unconscious. The rest is panic. Nivea is looking around unable to comprehend. Baneesh moves ahead, tries to lift, I go ahead.. we both lift her, get her out on the couch (which Vishnu had used to sleep the previous night).. Baneesh meanwhile is shouting "no pulse, no pulse". The Prof immediatly got his car, we put her in it and went to the health centre. This female is still unconscious. At the health centre she was regaining and losing consciuosness every few seconds. The doc said that she is responding only to deep shock. So i tried to remind her of our Statistics clas, no shock can be deeper than this... But she did not respond. So we decided that the matter is indeed serious (did not respond to the shock of stats, god!!!) and transferred her to another hospital nearby...
Fast forward to the hospital. She is now admitted and here are 8 of us waiting outside. Prof. TVNR also stayed back with us. Amazing man he is. Hats off to him.
So as per the doc's suggestion she is admitted to the hospital and we students take turns to sit by her (we guys also used this opportunity to help ourselves to the hotels nearby, I guess I visited all of them) She had to undergo a battery of tests to check for normality! Dedu stayed back with her for the night. Meanwhile we checked out the quality of the food at a nearby chinese restaurant for dinner and a another local hotel at lunch, not to mention an ice cream parlour.:-)
So again today morning we were back at the hospital. Goldman Sachs was visiting our
campus for summer and finals and this female who was hospitalised wanted to attend the interview. So she kept crying about missing Goldman... Ok enough of the bad parts. She was discharged today eveing and is pretty all right now. Goldman sachs took 4 seniors out of 8 who had applied and 2 for summers. We had a seminar in the evening where the dept served us Sandwiches and tea after the seminar (really good!!!) Now she is back to her hostel, we are back to the department and Vishnu is back to the couch...
