The last term

Every student dreams about Term 8 in ISB. Its my turn now.

ISB is a totally different place now a days. Some of the activities which are taking place in campus now are..

1. Night Cricket - This is real fun. The intersection cricket matches starts around 7.30 PM under floodlights and goes on well in the night. There is music, liquids and lots of cheering

2. Monopoly Championships - The good old game is back in form, with more and more converts each day

3. The Multiplayer Age of Empires Championship – People are trying to load the game in LAN and organize multiplayer championships. This is still under process. Should be good fun when its up and running

4. Most students have taken a new resolution that they would watch at least 50% of the movies available in our library. So there is a perennial crowding in the DVD section, which had never seen so many visitors in all the seven terms put together

5. Gym and the swimming pool - Many students have started hitting the gym and the swimming pool with vengeance. Some to keep fit, some trying their best to relive their memories of how they once looked and a few others just for the fun of it.. especially given the fact that its our last one month in campus

6. Other games - Many other games including Basketball, Shuttle badminton, Table Tennis, Pool, Carom have regular patrons

7. City exploration - ISB has recently increased the capacity and the frequency of the City Shuttle which takes students from ISB to the city. It could not have come at a better time. All of us are trying to do justice to this beautiful city by giving it the attention it deserves..

8. Assignments/ Pre reads - They have at last taken a back seat at ISB. Assignments are not receiving a minute extra than what they are worth it. Most of us meet the night before to complete these "impediments" which are still on our way.

Interesting times at ISB...
