PART 1: Mission MDI....ajab trip ki ghazab kahaani!!


What is common between pickpocketing, kidnapping, politics, well nowadays police, and online quizzing?

Well, all these acts are committed to make quick bucks and become famous or infamous....!

We MBAs are very fond of making quick money and getting our hands on those cherished possessions called certificates by carving ourselves into groups, preparing ourselves for a fierce battle, pulling up our socks, taking the swords out and...........playing some petty online quiz which needs nothing else but a little favor from Mr. Larry Page and Mr. Sergey Brin to try and know about the whole world in 30 minutes (for those who're still wondering....all I meant was 'googling'!) and do wonders with that....supposedly!!

It was one of those days for me.....staring at my HP-500(too old i know!), i was thinking about what is and what's gonna be.....
suddenly, a mail comes up for a quiz(yeeehoooo!) that's gonna take place later in the night...

Preparing for the battle...
torrents are being stopped for internet to run faster and for googling to become easier.....dinners have already been eaten.....abuses are being dutifully passed on to those who are still searching for the quiz link.....responsibility of selecting the team name is being floated around.....the ones who are cribbing about the assignment work getting affected due to this are also being dealt with appropriately....

Amidst all this, the quiz begins...

A 1 hr quiz, and at the end of it we know that we don't stand a chance....!

One week later....

I've returned from college, and I get a mail that we have qualified for the finals....

What the @#$#@....i don't even remember having played the prelims of that event.....and we are in the finals....

Anyways, we are asked to come to Gurgaon (MDI) to play the finals, and we dilly dally before preparing our bags and setting off for the journey.....the journey which i can never forget.....


Now begins the real story.....



to be continued....

  3. I've always been fond of your writing...but this style reminds me of someone else, which I don't like ... I would like you to write in your own inimitable way, so that you can instantaneously recognize and say .. oh I know this guy, he's my friend varun :)... u know what I mean ;) ... that apart ...really well written.
