Life in Binary

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

There is a system at Wimwi... it is a simple system...It functions in binary code..

If Submissions have to be made before 1.30 pm, it means exactly that...
1.30 and 01 seconds is not acceptable..

If classes begin at 8.45 am , you are welcome till 8.44 and 59 seconds...
Beyond this, you are pushing your luck..

You are either in time ...or you are late..
YOu are either in ..or you are not..
You have either passed... or you have failed..

In exams, your answers are either 100% correct.. or 100% wrong...

Nothing is considered grey...

You are either good...or you dont count...


This is the concept at IIM A... This is the system...

Sure, the system is not perfect.. But it works..and it works bloody well..
There is Zero-tolerance for being late... for being inefficient....or for your excuses...

I am getting increasingly worried about my well-being... You see, I thrive on excuses...add in my tendency to procrastinate, throw in my absolute disdain for punctuality and I am on a roll !!!...

So far, 2 alarms clocks, 3 friends from Mumbai with cell phones and one dorm-mate are intricately involved in ensuring that I wake up just in time to attend my classes...

Gawd!!! I am not liking it one bit...

Anyways, this is just the perfect recipe for my Misadventures... dont worry.. I will keep you guys posted...

..And dont worry...
At WIMWI, Everyone of us will count...!!!
