First Day at ISB

From the time stamp of 2 a.m. in the night of Apr 23, one would realise what a long but eventful day this has been! The day began at 5.30 in the morning with the train drawing into Begampet station. Moving over then to a friend's place, and then heading to ISB by about 10.30 a.m. The only letdown was that I could not collect my suitcase from the transporter.
Upon reaching ISB, it was a short but not so well-co-ordinated registration process. Even my room was changed at the last moment! But I got enthu block-mates, so am not complaining!
Also, thankfully, the registration-rooms were right next to each other, so moving between them was easy. But, I did not get the welcome drink that the people who joined for pre-term got :(
After that, lunch - well-earned after no breakfast and a hectic morning. The meal-plan is still not in place, so probably an expensive lunch took place! Headed straight back for a nap, before going over to collect my laptop and in vain for the cell-connection. Then, an ice-breaking session by the alum - fun people and also our section - Section C turned out to be a fun bunch of guys. The 4 terms ahead will be fun! After that, another EXPENSIVE dinner and then headed to the first birthday-dunking - 2 guys with legitamate birthdays on this day, and a third guy as the sacrificial lamb were dunked! We moved on then to the first party of ISB. Alum and current students danced to the beats of the in-house professional RJ - Shruti.
So, a fun day and the initial hesitation in reaching here and thinking "15 lakhs!!!" is now settling down! Looking ahead to a packed second day, full of orientation activities. Time to catch a few winks now, although the feet are still moving to the music which still goes on and on and on....
ZZZZZZZZZZ......
