Naach Meri Jaan... NAMED !!!

Monday, July 14, 2008

For an institution, that been around for half a century, there are bound to be certain traditions...and certain rituals...
Ladies and Gentlemen... Welcome to the Dorm Name Culture...
the dorm name culture has been around for more than 4 decades.. Rest assured, that Harsha Bhogale, KV Kamath and so many others-all have been through this ritual...
Every single IIMA student is given a dorm name by his dorm mates.. This is a way of interacting with the seniors... and bonding with them.. simply because - from this day forth, till your last dying breath, you will have this dorm name with you... It is part and parcel of being a WIMWIan... so accept it...

So, how does one go about getting a dorm name... There are 24 dorms on campus.. all of which have evolved their own dorm culture and dorm naming ceremonies.. Some dorms have a tradition where all the fachas put up a skit ... some dorms ask the the fachas to submit a 2 page report filled with original content.. The more saucy , the better... and some dorms have story telling sessions... So it is a mixed bag...

The trick is to get a decent dorm name... something your mom will not blush while addressing you with... I mean, no self-respecting girl would like to call her boyfriend as 'Dildo' or 'Brasak'...
But Alas... the sadists Tuchas that they are... they will not let us live in peace...
Anyways... I had very high hopes of getting a decent name... ok!! I was not looking at being called "Jock", "Guru", "Nawab" ... ( would have been nice though)....
Anything that would not raise eyebrows ....
With such noble intentions , I went to the dorm meets... Through a series of interactions at these dorm meetings.. the name is concocted....

After cleansing myself of all my past sins, and taking a vow of allegiance to my dorm... I was given the proud name of "Mujra"....
(10 millions words in the universe... and I end up being called a brothel!!!... There goes my sex appeal...).. I can already see my future next year- An imaginary conversation with a hot fachi..
She says :"Hi.. I am a super hot girl in PGP1... "
I say : "Hi.. I am Mujra !!!" ....
(sigh......)

Well well well, u just keep trying too hard and thinking too much. not to mention worrying too much. It's a nice name for your personality.
The real interesting story would be to find out how and why you got this name.
