9 days to go...

Its all over

Yes, 100% placements achieved, another batch of IIM Lucknow has now been given jobs, and their first entry into the corporate world. How far will they go? Only time will tell.

The last few hours of placements were nerve-racking, as many people were sitting on the lawns, near the tents, waiting to hear that the placements were finally over.

The announcement was finally made, at 12 O clock at night, after the last company left the campus. The campus was an uproar, and the drums were brought in, and the beats began..

Placement Chairman addressed the batch, and thanked everyone for their cooperation. Champagne was uncorked, and everyone in Placecom was drenched. Then the drums began beating, and everyone went dancing till the mess.

Then, the shower began. The dear juniors had drums full of water, waiting to drench us all. Everyone dancing.. loud music of the drums, and everyone drenched. Some guy took off his shirt, and ripped off someone else's. The trend began, and within fifteen minutes, all the guys were topless. With nothing to do with the shirts, they began throwing it all over, and mostly at the girls, who were also drenched and throwing shirts back as soon as they caught them.

Dancing, singing, rubbing (open to interpretations), and the likes, the post placement euphoria lasted an hour. After that, the drummers led the batch out of the mess, through the football field, into the baddy court (party hall with professional DJ and speakers and of course, drinks).

The party itself began at 2 AM, and the dancing and the revelry went on till 6 in the morning, until the sun was up. By that time, everyone was so tired, specially after the exhausting placement process and the phenomenal party, that everyone retired to their rooms to sleep.

A wonderful end to two years here at IIM Lucknow. A night I would not forget for a very long time.

Good luck y'all. A new journey is just about to begin.
