Hey people, this is my first blog post from IIM Lucknow, AKA IIM-HelL.... before coming here i had these dreamy thoughts about a great campus, awesome facilities and a really cool and intellectual crowd. Well, realities are a little bit different. My excuse may be that dreams really never come true, but I contend that I may have over expected, but not too much from one of the top institutes of this country. Some dreams really did materialize into reality, as in, the campus is breathtaking, an idyllic mixture of manicured lawns and densely forested areas, and some really wonderful artwork at display. The academic facilities are unparalleled too, with one of Asia's largest management library and a well and adequately equipped computer center. The classrooms are fab, so is the mess, for a change I didn't feel nauseous after having hostel food. But now comes the pitfalls, sports facilities are nowhere near even good. They just "are there". The soccer ground is just an unkempt lawn with bent water pipes for goal posts with torn nets, the basketball court is a concrete one and so unkempt that it is pretty easy to fracture a bone in the body after taking a fall, and there is no surrounding mesh wall, the lawn tennis court is also concrete surfaced and the net is in shreds, the pool table in H12 is in a pathetic state too. The only saving grace are the badminton court [indoor, wood surfaced] and the TT hall in H12.
The commercial plaza is adequate for one's daily needs, but they really rip you off. The canteen/fauji dhaba is exorbitant beyond measure.
Now to the most important part, the people.... well to be frank most of the people I have seen are really studious and keep to themselves all the time, a small minority is really cool, maybe even good at studies and are really helpful, but a sizable number of the junta consists off eggheads and I-am-too-important a**h****. And to tell you the truth, these more than compensate for all the goodness existing at L..... one always feels like telling them, UP YOURS!!!!

so i see that things in iim are no different from a med college in terms of the innumerable assholes that surround you...anyways i guess that's the norm in any professional college......and 5 and half years of mbbs must have more than just taught you how to put up with such selfish,narcissist egotist bastards..lolz
hehe totally man.. totally! my sentiments exactly, when i joined this place too. had a heart-to-heart with shoe-gum about it when i met him n' well, like i testi'ed, i'm glad you're around, man.
tho' how someone can behave egotistically around you, i fail to understand.
