22 days to go...
The cycle of students making city visits also seems to follow the Sin curve.
Initially, in the wave of joining IIML, most students prefer to remain indoors, and enjoy the beauty and the calm of the IIM campus. Mostly people who have worked before.
Before long, they decide that its basically the same mess, the same nightmess, and the same twenty girls of the senior batch and the same forty of their batch, and so they start venturing out to explore Lucknow city. The first trip is usually known as Lucknow Darshan, and it includes a trip to the Imambada and the revered Tunde Kabab.
Of course, then there's the term break, and when the students come back, they find themselves in term four, and they really don't know what hit them. Most students' have such enormous problems just trying to pass themselves out of term four, that the city remains a pipe dream. The committees have ambitious projects in the pipeline, before they realise that the corporate world might not quite be as excited about sponsoring them, as they themselves might be. So then, the trips to the city again start reducing. The lucky ones with the bikes, or ones with the babes (or the b*&^%^&ds with both) get to make trips to the city, mostly because they can.
In term six, as I sit in my room at 4 in the morning, I realized that I had my third visit to the city today, and I couldn't stand the place, and was missing my computer as soon as I stepped out of the hallowed portals of IIML.
Besides, with no offence to Lucknow city, the spots are quite thin, with Cappacino Blast, Ultraviolet, Ganj and now Mint, being the only four really metro spots to hang out.
Lets hope the juniors have a more eventful two years, as the frequency of the hangouts in lucknow seem to be increasing rapidly these days!
Notice: Hostel 11 plays Hostel 12 for the Virtual Sikandar finals. The winner shall take the Sikandar. The loser shall get bumped.
Be there, or fill forms and regret it for the rest of your life (if you happen to make it to one of them soap companies).
