The Prep Days..

I woke up at 8 am today..

Had a lavish breakfast - Cornflakes, Lime Juice, Bananas, Omelette, Aaloo Parathas ..

Turned up for Maths class..

After a disturbing insight of things-to-come like Probability distributions Curves, 4 hours , one coffee break and 15 pages of written notes later, We were free ...

Headed straight to the nearest mall.. turns out Levi is having a sale of buy one-get one free!!..
So splurged as usual

Ahmedabad has decent malls.. there is no single international/national brand that is not represented here.. from Ruf-n-Tuf jeans to Exclusive BOSE boutiques... they have everything here...

Returned at 6 ... had a yummy double cheese chicken sandwich...
Then went to play Football... had fun...

The Footers here have this ritual here :- The team which allows the first goal to be scored, have to remove their shirts.. so it is a common sight to find fat, overweight guys running around bare chested, puffing , panting, yelling like small kids..

Post dinner.. we head to Dorm 9.. we play carom, table tennis or pool...depending on what is available... it is around 9.45 pm and we are just warming up...

Then comes the event of the day - FRISBEE..

A simple disk , 14-15 over-enthusiastic fachas , and a well-lit empty LK plaza... and we are ready for a game thats been played on this campus for generations... Frisbee..

The game is pretty similar to basket ball..
You have two sides of 7 players a side...
No player can run with the Frisbee in his/her hand,
No player can possess the Frisbee for more than 5 seconds
The objective is to pass the Frisbee and score.
If a player drops the Frisbee, the other team gets possession ..

Thats all...
The amount of fun , the commitment of all the players, the masti, the spirit.... Its unbelievable...
You will have fat lazy sloths diving around, you will find players arguing about the millimeters by which a goal was scored/missed... we played from 10 pm to 2 am, stopping only because the cramps were killing us...it was fun... real fun
and the best part of it all was the camaraderie... genuine bonding ...

And in the final analysis... I guess... most of us preppies, wont remember much about Poisson Distributions or Little's Law.... But the one thing that we will remember is the spirit of the 35 odd students who were lucky to be called a preppie... uh, sorry.. make that an IIMA Preppie...


P.S : Later, we saw the new Indiana Jones DVD...hehe!! yeah baby!!!
