God: What did we (the gods) do to make the spring colorful?
Student 1: The nature unleashes a new born energy
Student 2: Everything around blooms to life
Student 3: I think all these compliment ‘the mighty Chakravyuh’ that happens every spring…
God: Who is that???
God: 08FT-0XX…
God: 08FT-0XX………………..
Student 3:uhhh ohhhh …….(Just wakes up from his sleep and realizes that he forgot answering the roll call in the lecture)
Phew! Talk of daydreamers (insomniacs?)
What Chakravyuh meant on December 10th to Junta in IMT
For Non-IMT junta: Chakravyuh is a non-stop 72 hours Sports festival of IMT and is the biggest festival of IMT both in terms of participation and magnitude. The preparations, deliberations & the intensity witnessed in the tournament makes it a spectacle indeed!!! So with this we shall proceed to the blog now…
December 10th 2009
Place: The Parking stand outside mess
“Ohh lord the Chakravyuh is here…have you seen the teaser, I think the mascot is a boar..” said Onlooker 1
“I don’t think it’s a boar, it is a standing tiger… I mean a tiger standing on its hind legs” Onlooker 2
Yeah people were busy understanding the teasers and the publicity messages but the launch in December, though too early, created ripples among sections of IMT.
Now who are these sections…The sections that took it seriously were the following
1. Farmers
2. Crammers
3. Achievers
Farmers
The farmers believed in a single crop or girl and they invested their faith, time, ego, money & hope into a single chick or at times two and a half chicks. They had two simple rules
Rule 1: The Chick is right
Rule 2: If not read ‘Rule 1’ 20 times
December 10th
Now the chakravyuh was like the lohri/sankranti for these farmers (its harvest time) so one had to be extremely careful with the further steps taken. They had two plans
Plan A (to be executed if the chick likes to play)
Jog with her, encourage her by participating in the sport she plays and try teaching her a move or two if you can do that. Encourage her to work out and prepare a time table that’s optimal for the chick. (Minors in Operations preferred)
Plan B (If she doesn’t like to play)
Make travel plans for the 3 day holiday, sports suck and a ego massaging session isn’t a bad idea…Give her company and double the care, since she loses some attention during those 3 days.
Note: The term “2 and a half chicks” refers to the fall back option the farmer has if he were to lose the prime chick. However these fallbacks were stout & hefty and I am sorry for quantifying that.
Crammers
Disclaimer: The word crammer here refers to all academically serious people and doesn’t literally mean book worms or something. However the word is used since it rhymed with the previous one…
December 10th
The crammers though were expected to be the least bothered, were the most offended.
"What is this hakravyuh" asked a geek (confused by the graphic font)
"Its chakravyuh dude" said another student accompanying the geek
“This is stupidity….no! heights of stupidity” said the Geek
“Kyon kya ho gaya” student asked
“The placements are fast approaching and who on earth would do publicity for chakravyuh’10 now……and why is imt obsessed with these teasers” said the geek
Luckily the other student, later, showed the student a certain company’s “We are hiring” teaser and that did calm the storm.
So what the crammers planned to do…
I dare not to put it in an unorganized way so let they be in bullets
· Read ET, Kotler, Sales & subjects of interest with rigor
· Find a way to access the “GOD folder” created by the big brains
· Chakravyuh doesn’t matter, its Pappachan who matters
· To look fresh try sleeping early
· Take tips from seniors, super seniors & alumnus too…..
· Rest of plan tomorrow, feeling sleepy now hit the SAC
PEACE…..Snore
Achievers
Here come the darlings and we do have loads of them, don’t we…
We are not talking about the “Will be Gold medalists” or Wizards or the Gurus out here…
We are discussing Sporting Personalities and the star players over here…
These are the ones who have zoomed to popularity in no time with their sporting talent and have created a brand for themselves in this sports frenzy college…Though critics and crammers may disagree nothing sells in IMT like an intense sporting season and it is these people who matter the most then…
A mistake in any decision by the Achievers may lead to home team’s exit from football or any game in the coveted tournament and talk about redemption - you have one long year to wait for it. So it makes sense when they show sporadic seriousness in many activities during the run up…
December 10th
So a sports enthusiast when coming across an achiever during a post dinner walk, near the amphitheater, thought of asking a question
You cannot ask a stupid question like “Are you playing in Chakravyuh”
However the answer he gets for it does deserve the stupid question. Because the common answer is “See dude I have a fractured thumb/ligament tear/tennis elbow and I might not actually play this time”
Now the enthusiast turns pale at the sad news but sometime later, to his ecstasy, the achiever does play… While some achievers did begin scouting for junior achievers to make a super team, some kept mum post December 10th..
Some achievers went a step ahead by playing sports that they generally do not otherwise to reflect the feel chill attitude… errrrrr “How many eyeballs watching”

Epilogue
I can’t help writing these epilogues… If any one finds similarities of above mentioned examples to certain events; Trust me its purely coincidental. If you are wanting to ask me which category I fit into I will say put me in ‘Losers’ for writing stupid blogs like these J…but then don’t call me loser coz I may assume you have read the blog.
