And, Term 8 is now at a close. It was a pretty eventful term; I’ll just come to that in a bit, once I wrap up the happenings of the past few days. This is the problem with long intervals between posts, you miss the little things that make each day special, and all you do is sum up the larger happenings.

To pick up where I left off, we did win the final of the Basketball League; it was a good game, we finally won by a single point. The boys’ final too was won by a single point. Later in the week, we won the Volleyball League too; the boys’ games are still underway.
In more academic news, the process of résumé iterations was in process and is now complete. A few of our seniors volunteered to help us modify/prepare our CV’s for the social internship placements that shall start soon. A long list has been prepared by the IPM Office- it lists a large number of NGO’s and CSR wings. Shortlists, interviews and offers shall follow in the term to come.

The week gone by saw all our end-term exams, one after the other. The Principles of Management End term was very enjoyable; it had a couple of case-studies to be interpreted as one felt like; the Geography end term was on the same day- the papers have been corrected and shown to us today, all in a matter of 2 days!. 4 other end-term exams followed- the Econometrics end term was a lab exam on R which went by without any technical glitches. And, I think we must’ve had cold coffee, each evening, courtesy Mess2.

Now, the important part is that the term is over. The highlight of the term was definitely the sports events and getting official permission to organize our very first Sports Fest- Ranbhoomi; we’re inviting participation from all across the country! And, I’m now off on a fortnight-long break. The juniors shall have end term exams soon; they get to go home only at the end of the month, for a fortnight too. Happy Holidays!
