Bird frames

Another bunch of birds in frame.

Nature watch

On Sunday I had a chance encounter with a team from forest department doing one of their periodic survey of birds and flora within IIM C campus. My curiosity got the better of me and I barged into their taking notes/discussion to understand how our campus was doing in terms of bird population. Everyday I could see multiple birds, but the forest department person answered quite disappointedly that they managed to see just 46 species this day and that they usually see much more. I was bit taken back by this number as it sounded wow for me. They talked about the migratory birds etc. As I continued on my path, I was thinking of the bird that I had seen..surely there were more to see...

Here goes some of the photos snapped within campus... If you interested about birds and that too in Joka (IIM C nesting place) check this link http://www.kolkatabirds.com/joka.htm

Yaadien...

Socha tha MBA ki padai main macha dainge tod fod or laga dainge jee jaan,

Par is term ka to haal aisa hai ki abhi tak nahi kar paye hain kitabon se jaan pehchaan!!

Maar rakhi hai placements ne or professor laite hain classes yahan saton din,

Yaad bahut aata hai woh salary ka sms or ab kya bataien ki kaise kat rahe hain bina salary ke yeh haseen din!!

Kha kha kar mess ka khana, tastebuds ka ho gaya hai kaam tamaam,

Aab to bas de rahe hain sahara Mocambo ka stuffed tandori or Peter Cat ka dum raan!!

Bache hain do mahine, fer sabhi wapis apani apani jail main jayenge,

Ek issi baat ka hai afsos ki in ramneek lamhon ki bas yadien he bacha payenge!!

Fourth Term....

class lagate din nikle or tension main nikle raat,

lakhon dekar itna torture aab nahi hota bardasht.

50 page ki reading, 20 page ka case or 10 page ke exhibit,

dheere dheere ho raha hai saaf ki main hoon yahan ke liye misfit.

6 hafte main 9 courses or beech main ek hafte ka break,

kash pad laite us ik hafte main to nahi lagta aab itna sek.

CP ke naam par log daite hain kutch bhe gyan,

likhni padegi ek or kavita agar karna hai CP ka poora wyakhyan.

innovation or strategy ke naam par macha rakhi hai dhoom,

sunn sunn itni jargon jata hai mera maatha ghoom.

Eco ki class lagti hai BBC ka koi comedy show,

or Fin ki class main i am flowing against the flow.

BF ki padai ka to bas ik he hai forecast,

Hone wala hai end term main ik or blast.

BE ke naam par hoti hai class main poori bakar,

Lekin hamare chairman saab ko hai apane dept par poora fakar.

grades na aane ka dard ab main gaya hoon pee,

bache hain chand mahine yeh bhe kissi taran lainge jee.

Chill Pill

Tired, sleepy faces are my target customers,

And I help them against in-lecture dozing off fears.

I entered this niche market in a dry-white colour,

With few great souls making me this market’s winner.

Wary of boredom and monotony,

I realised its time-to-market variety - if any.

To bring zesty environs and pep-up lives,

A repositioned I came in trendy hues and anew types.

This repositioning helped me increase my market share,

And very soon I became an indispensable player!

Now, if you wonder as to who am I,

And how I managed to increase my pie?

For your information, I am a minty candy,

Which PGPEX front-benchers find so yummy.

Availability in flavours of lemony green, sweet strawberry and tangy orange,

Helps me serve an array of taste range.

So friends, in your next class if you feel lethargic or drowsy

Have nothing else but this multicoloured, well-known MENTOS candy!

4 Colleges Meet – yet another perspective

Having heard from our senior batches on the rivalry between IIMC and XLRI, I waited in anticipation for the 4 college meet that was to be held. I had seen videos on the welcome that was dished out to each other. “Well, this falls right in my alley” I thought since I had spent a considerable amount of time over the years honing my skills in refining my dictionary of the “doosra” variety. Here was a noble cause that would let me use my skills to the fullest.
