I now know what zombies feel like. There's about 400 of us here on campus at ISB (the remaining 43 seem uninfected)...and we've been found out like deer in lights. Just a week of lectures and suddenly day and night have united, and we've turned into the living dead. Wander around SV1 (thats Student Village #1, easily the most happening place in ISB) at 1 in the morning and you'll find a bunch of people with the same dazed, glazed expression. It's early evening, by campus standards. No need to talk, just nods suffice... we're all wondering - "yeh kahan aa gaye hum?" Marketing, Eco, Stats, Accounts - that's all there is to life right now.
And after you're done with whatever assignment it is at 3, you've got to get up in time for the 8.45 lec, finish your assignments, meet your study group, pre-read, pre-read some more, anticipate the MGEC (managerial eco for you neophytes) pop quiz, get your LDP thingummy in place and see if you can read the paper when you're done late in the night. Then throw in random b'day dunkings, an all-nite party or two in a week and lots of nicotine and caffeine, and b-school becomes a blur.
To think that when the ISB Co2009 began coming together, we wanted to have IPL nights in the SVs. Haha!
I would miss my pre-ISB work life right now, if only i could remember what it was like.
Edit: The wildlife isn't restricted to the students alone. After numerous sightings of boars, peacocks and squirrels, some poor guys found that they were cohabiting in their SV3 quad with a 3-foot monitor lizard. He was a real beauty, and the subject of a 100+ mails within a few hours. Waiting for the first sightings of the cobra now.

sleep deprivation, caffeine, dealing with snakes/reptiles, planning to do things you really will never get a chance to do - i think they are doing a pretty good job of teaching u all the basics of management there buddy! Hope all's well otherwise :-)
