After a hiatus...

You guys must be desparate to know why there has been such a long silence ever since the last post. Well...the answer is that the GMPians were busy with the books. With almost a month and a half month since we have joined XLRI, it was time that the revered professors test our knowledge. This doesn't mean that we don't get surprise quizzes and assignments. But a mid term is a mid term !! It's like a test match in cricket. No matter how many T20s and one-dayers are played, test matches (read mid and end terms) will keep her charm. These are such occasions when the students are given the opportunity to get as much materials (text books, notes, reference books, printouts from Wikipedia and so on) to the examination hall as possible only to realize to his/her utter dismay that not many things in the question paper are comprehensible and that the treasures he had brought to the examination hall are of no use (We have several open book exams).

"Arre exam to chalta rehta hai...,"remarked a professor the other day. He is absolutely right that we must broaden our outlook, get as much knowledge as possible from the books and outside.

Not all the mid term papers are over. Many are to come in near future...but we will continue to focus on other activities as well.
