Today, Mr.Navyug from QAI India visited IMI to give a lecture on Demystifying Innovation.
The lecture was fruitful and enjoyable.
The most interesting part of the lecture was when we played a little game as conducted by Mr. Navyug. The game was simple and tested our innovative thinking. It was a "Murder Mystery." Jack and Jill lying dead on the floor. Room locked from outside. Window open. Wind blowing outside. There is a table on the room. on it a bowl of fruits. beside it on the ground, broken glass and spilled water.
what we had to do was solve it. we were allowed to ask him questions that he could answer only in "yes" or "no"
some of the questions that flowed were as follows:
were the fruits apples > No
were the fruits oranges > No
were the fruits grapes > Yes
was there blood anywhere > No
were they poisoned > No
was jack and jill a painting > No
did they fall from the table > Yes
What were they doing on the table ... > cant answer...
Now, Mr.Debayan Mukherjee was sitting next to me. Suddenly he pops up:
"Were jack and jill Human beings?" and the whold auditorium erupted in laughter.
I thought it was a very good and relevant question. Maybe jack and jill were pets.
The question was bypassed by Mr. Navyug.
Moments later we came to know that Jack and Jill were fishes.
Debayan had asked the Jackpot question!!
Now here comes the best part.
when i asked him for his rationale behind the question I was literally stunned to the core and shocked by the reply:
"I thought may be Jack and Jill were grapes" he confidently said.
I felt my ears go numb. Now THAT's what I call creativity.

Counter Strike!!!
Yes. LAN is the new weapon of mass destruction.
It almost destroyed(or may be it actually has destroyed) the careers of many innocent people at the IMI adhchini hostel.
It has hardly been 3-4 days since we put a stop to playing the game. Approaching exams scared the shit out of us. Therefore we waste time in other ways that don't make us feel all that guilty :)
The following are the regular players:
Aditya Bajpai .. a.k.a Iceman (On Fire)
Devdeep .. a.k.a sTUNNER
Debayan .. a.k.a Diablow
Biswadeep.. a.k.a missionary
Sushmit .. a.k.a Juggernaut
Varun Vostro .. a.k.a sa+an
occasionally joined by Kunal Jain, Dhruv, Shubham etc.
At present, Varun is possibly the best player. But the rest are catching up real fast!
Debayan is the most innovative entertaining player. Undoubtedly the most fun-2-watch.
We play against each other in teams. But we have to most fun when all of us team up against BOTS.
I am just waiting for the exams to get over. Only then will the ultimate CS begin.

Tuesday being the last day for ITDM assignment , the nighgt became synonymous with excel opened in everyones laptops(somthn rare)
kehte hain naa...we follow, the "SHIT" principle...
As we had some "forecasting" for the eco quiz on tuesday,late monday night we thot of sharing some gyan..but..then lightning stroke...and "Varun-"
introduced us to the dark world of CS..ohh..it was like a virus which is spreading fast in the G n 4Th floor...BD,Iceman,MrFresher, ,n me are the current ones..shubham strikes in between with kunal,shushmit n all making guest appearances.....

What it is...
Apologies for the late start.
We have been intending to start this blog for a long time now and finally we just cannot contain the fun that we have each and everyday.
Despite being in a good B-School, we seldom behave like quintessential managers should. Hell! we are diametrically opposite. We are a new breed. We do not conform to convention. We defy it. We have not the slightest doubt whatsoever that we are the future that will take the world by storm. We are not here "to study and have fun because these are the most enjoyable and memorable days of our lives." We are here to have fun. Period.
If you decide to move on to the posts, I advise you to read carefully the following:
1. NO STUDIES DISCUSSED HERE. Don't give in any. Don't expect any.
2. Not for the squeamish who take offense on the use of colorful language. If you are one, you can leave DICKHEAD!
3. Leg pulling is allowed. Sarcasm is allowed. DO NOT GET PERSONAL. KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
Have fun and Kick ASS !
