Life on track- Dunkings, Perpective building and Arbit CP

Life in ISB seems to be getting on track as we approach Term 1 starting Monday. People are slowly settling down in their so called homes and getting ready for the grind awaiting them, come Monday.
Meanwhile the Preterm courses have equipped us with basic skill sets required to pursue our PG program ( supposedly). This is true not only for the classroom studies but also for the skill sets needed to survive @ ISB in general. I would discuss these in brief:

1) Dunkings: Dunking is the order of life @ ISB. You do something you get dunked, you don’t do anything you get dunked, you speak you get dunked, you keep quiet you get dunked. Basically you are under a dunking threat all the time. (For those who don’t know about dunking, it’s the term used for throwing a person in the pool at our Rec center). So if its you bday you get dunked compulsorily. Yesterday it was D’s turn. With her 3-4 others also got dunked. This also happens all the time. Dunkings are organized by respective sections for the bday boy or girl. Yesterday some of us sec A ppl were clicking pictures at the dunking session. Suddenly Sec F ppl ( the bday girl was from sec F) said oh Sec A ppl are here lets dunk them. We managed to escape. It proved that we have managed to learn the art of surviving dunkings. Absolutely vital @ ISB.

2) Perspective building: Our Alums told us to build perspectives on important issues. Take an example of a group. X is chatting with Y about most useless stuff on earth. A and B are discussing couples on campus. E and his study group are discussing Sarovar food. C and D are smoking in the atrium and P and Q are playing computer games. A normal person outside the campus would say they are gossiping. At ISB we call it perspective building. Another extremely vital skill to survive. We build perspectives and keep building on them.

3) Arbit CP: Thanks to the gyan sessions and blogs of the alums everyone is familiar with Arbit CP. But our batch is really great. Even before the term has started, people have started practicing Arbit CP. Theres no end to questions. Whatever session is organized, people have to ask all kinds of questions Here are some examples.( some of them are gathered during perpective building sessions and some others are first hand experiences)
================
A: So whats the answer to the Fedex case( can u believe this??????)

B: 43

C: no how come. My answer is 10

B: no its 43
(The Fedex case is a marketing CASE STUDY not a math problem
=================
Accounts Prof: So if we pay by cash, the cash account reduces

Student: What if we pay by Cheque?
==================
Statistics Prof: Suppose if a person tosses a coin, theres an equal probability of either Heads or Tails turning up.

Student: What is the probability that the person would actually toss the coin?
===================

So I guess we all have acquired ample of these skills now. I have started playing squash & swimming regularly and sticking to routine. Have already made some good friends and a lot of acquaintances. Fedex case will rule till Monday. Term 1 is here. No more taking it easy. Its all going to be graded. Let the music begin--------------
