The saga of SPAM

It is really amazing to see the creativity of ISBians when it comes to spamming. We can find at-least a billion reasons to spam everyone under the sun. The latest spam subject is PPT swaps.

It so happens that the placement committee has come up with this rule where in six core study groups, one from each core section are assigned one PPT each so that there is equitable distribution of people across PPTs. Now howz that a problem? Its like this---X is interested in finance but she has been assigned an IT company, Y who is a born IT geek has been assigned an I bank---So if X & Y can swap their PPTs both get to attend whatever they want to !! Makes sense in efficient market situation, but the problem is how does X find Y?? Answer is simple—X spams students 07 ---bombards everyone’s mailboxes & there is a 100% chance that Y is one of the 415 odd students on campus—and then they find each other and live happily thereafter----

But wait—the story doesn’t end here---now since X has got her perfect match, she has to send another spam saying thanks to everyone and to share the good news that she found her match! So the result is yet another spam----and now everyone else is also out on a mission to find their respective matches and that only means spam spam spam and more spam---

Some other commonly used spam subjects at ISB are:

-Lost Umbrella Black in color and round in shape (How insightful!!) If found please contact 99XXXXXXX

-Lost course pack in AC X , if found pls pls let me know!!! (As if you are going to actually read it!)

-Barber on campus !

-Lost wallet/watch/ mobile last nite at SV X in a party---If found please contact---
( Main peeke tunn tha--- kisi ne chura liya)

-Please let me know the submission deadline for XX assignment !! ( Was sleeping in class and never access blackboard)

And more---

All in all ISB is a heaven for habitual spammers. Tons to spam about!

    Then there was the spam-day, when the SAIT exam got postponed. 100 spam emails in under 2.5 hours :-(
