Of new year and demographic challenges...

If one were to judge this year with the number of demographic challenges I have faced already, I think this is going to be the year of bumper harvests. I have had more than my due share of challenges for a whole decade. Time and again, I find myself in the midst of a demographcially chalenged gathering. Ratios range anywhere between 1:4 to 1:9.
And the irony of it is that it is happening in the last term here at IIMA. Here in IIMA which does not have a very favorable gender ratio, and in the last term, so the festivities won't last long!

Fart is a funny art. Just this morning, we presented the case of Galileo [ref:Brecht's play] armed with a mandate to emit all sorts of toxic fumes about leadership, choices, freedom and responsibility. Can a combination of 4 words get stinkier than this?
The proff was looking for some 'jing bang' in the slides, and any animation in the slides almost sent her to delights of a certain special kind.

Meanwhile, I have realised that
=Strato makes for a very good partner in crossword puzzles
=Polo, mentos and other tingy-tangy tasting things are good for health
=Second year at IIMA is an epitome of worklessness if you can find the right mix of courses
=People will not leave any opportunity to pull your leg. In fact, my legs now measure upto 7 feet
=Ironing too many cotton shirts can be injurious to backbone
=No drink beats Appy[except ginger ale] and no sweet beats jalebi
=When you don't know where life is taking you but you are enjoying every bit of it, worry not!

ki har tasveer ke upar
aur har takdeer ke sar per
tumhara naam likhenge
tumhein maangenge ab jee bhar
