It was day 2 of our classes. The first day had been good. We had studied MANAC, BIO and COM which stand for Management Accounting, Behaviour in Organizations and Communication in Management respectively. We had Rashmi mam as our MANAC teacher. She appeared to be extremely strict. Deb Chat (Debashish Chatterjee), who is apparently amongst top 15 thinkers of Harvard University took BIO. He was an extremely “Global” person. Said anything and everything most of which meant nothing to me. But I liked using his language … and many a times Manish had to bear the brunt of this :) Raina, who took COM, was really a character. My seniors had advised us (and no, I did not believe that) that we should never go to his class after shaving our beard (and being a so called chickna) and all as he was thought to make unwanted advances towards some …. Anyways, that apart, he was an extremely boring teacher. Communication is a very practical subject and he had made it completely theoretical by drawing those charts in which words which mean nothing emerge as stems from other words which also meant nothing. Those trees, stems 7 Cs and 5 Ss were his favourite. God! Once I had slept in his class. I just could not help it. He was going on explaining those 7Cs and I had had very little sleep the night before due to some assignment. And the he caught me! Immediately I started looking busy ……but he said “You are not quite there with us”. And I was so embarrassed that I had to go out to wash my face!!!
Anyways back to day 2. Rashmi madam announced that we will have a quiz today! On second day of the college … a quiz! And that too of accounts. She had even made different sets for people sitting adjacent to others!. That was my first quiz at IIML. And the next day I was a proud owner of 4 marks out of a quiz of 5 marks. Clearly this was not the best but I had done a lot better than many others. CAs had outperformed and Anil Agarwal ( a dark fellow from Calcutta) was being hailed as the topper already !!!

i do think that you were/are very much impressed by Deb chat... which was further compounded by that very fateful presentation of double meanings which u were to make later in the course of our stay @ L :)
And as far as Raina was concerned he was seriously such a bore... i think i hv slept in most of his classes... compared to neerja he was too darn boring... those 7Cs and 5Ss were such a PITA...
and i will not even talk abt my first quizzz :)
i will dedicate one full post to the "fateful presentation of double meanings". ... But that was in term 2 :)
guess what... Anil Agarwal found out who's the topper the hard way
