Class participation

Sirrrr…! Sir sirrrr….!

Sir this, sir that…I agree..I don’t agree…!

Chaos everywhere… One of the most prominent and peculiar feature of our class…

Economics says “Remaining other things constant.”

 but the irony is “nothing is constant”…. atleast not our grades…

Our classes reminds me of recent event “Bhav madi” organised by stockyard.. One among countless committees of our university. It was a mock trading game based on old share trading way when shares trading was used to be done on a share floor.. The only difference between this game show n our class is, there we were selling and purchasing shares, here we r selling ourselves and purchasing grades… We have to yell constantly, Boo “Khosla” all the time, treat friends as competitor… All though we all love the khosla booing part, never the less, this all is done just for 3 letters out of whole twenty six alphabets of English language…n those are “A, B n C”…

I thought we were here to learn marketing…. came to know we were already marketing ourselves..

For those of u who don’t know wat CP(class participation ) is, it is how much u participate in class.. Each subject has total 33 session in one semester and CP in each subject carry around 40 % of total semester marks… Yeah, so if we miss to read our cases n our books by any chance we are doomed (had a better six letter word, but can’t write here). We are expected to study 3 fat case and 3 super fat chapters as we per day have three classes.

We all on a daily basis, do continuous hand exercise for around 4 hours, as we all have to invariably keep our hands held high in all the classes expecting, maybe we get lucky enough to bring upon the attention of the educator, what as per Miss Aruna (eco ma’am) known as, ”Facilitators”, so that we may get a chance to do CP, and may work on our grades..

Throughout the assessment we work diligently and expect to get better grades, but it actually comes down to the day wen the grades come out which i prefer to call “The Armageddon ”or “The Eschaton”(doomsday)… On that day you can easily segregate the whole class into three categories. First are 10 pointers who always get A, second are ppl who are confident bout getting “A”s and actually have worked hard but perpetually acquire grades lesser than what they deserved n land up getting “B”or even ”C”.. n wen they confront the educators, y they got “C”, they get replies which reminds me of one of the very famous “I NEVER NOTICED YOU” case.. Third category in the class comprises ppl who were more than confident of getting “C” and nesciently fetch up “A or B”..

The ppl of first category are the happiest ones as they maintain their 10 pointer status, but they carryon their “huh,its no big deal” attitude…The ppl of second category are the most lamenting lot as they curse, whine and whimper over their grades and inaccurate grades being allotted.. ”I m the uncrowned king of this lot over the lamenting thing.” The third lot is most shocked, surprised, jubilant and frolic lot as they don’t know how they managed to secure such grades, but are more than happy bout it n grin over n over, completely benighted of the fact that the ppl of second lot are high on rush to break their grinning teeth..

The second lot in rage decides never to participate again..The third group in excitement starts participating…The first group as usual keeps on their nerdyness.. Eventually things come back to normal.. Second lot couldn’t resist anymore n starts participating most, Third lot realizes enough of participation on their part, n dig in their cozy seats (seats r not cozy at all)..ya first lot as usual…

Thats how life in IBS departs frm deplorable platform of past n strives towards lustrous time to come..

p.s : I assume you all want to know bout Mr.Khosla and the famous “I never noticed u case.” I promise I ll be doing it in ma next blog as I don’t want to make this blog brobdingnagian n boring…
