[Post incomplete, no intention ever to get down to completing it!]
"We have to write our CV's.. Find your (tor)mentors".
It started with this. Phone calls, engaged, busy, not available... Call again.
"You are not going for the health run ! First go there and then come for getting the CVs checked"
The 'Health' Run involved running around 2 rounds of the ring road which is loong (3 kms is a conservative guess I think!) and being all happy and cool about it while your seniors snapped your photographs riding bikes. It also involved the pretty 'healthy' aspect of getting cramps in your feet good enough to trouble you for the whole of the next day.
The more than healthy over, I call again. Meet.
"This is childish."
"You expect someone to believe this!"
"Don't tell me you call this an ethical mistake!"
Everything short of tear this sheet away and get lost! After begging, borrowing and some (unsuccessful) attempts at forging signatures, finally submitted the CVs exactly at 12.00. Whew! This work is done. Now I can rest.
" You heard about the case discussion tomorrow ?"
Whaaat!
Skitter of to the CC. Read the case till I hear the mynahs chirping.
"We also have a test later on!"
Meanwhile the 8-hour per day registration modules are on! Goodbye sleep!
Case over! Test over! Time for sleeping....
"Get your groups together. There is a presentation tomorrow."
Phone calls, meetings, presentations prepared...
Registrations started too. It was then that I understood the institute's way of inculcating physical fitness. I stared unbelievably at the pile of books kept on the desk. It took my brain some time to comprehend the ingenious plan that they had in hand. Two days of doing this, and all my cultivated and preserved flab of 21 years will go down the drain.
Anyway, presentations or the rather 'we will have fun at your expense' ragging sessions were done with before we were called for a batch meeting.
Now was the time when the results would be announced, as to who got in which section!
[In the interests of preserving sanity and some traditions, I will leave the story here!]
