MYSTERIOUS Economics (Fiction)

this is surely gonna be a live commentry of last Economics class.. this may send a chilling fear across your spine so much so that u may develop a phobia. this class thrashes Darwin's theory of "Survival of the Fittest". those who survive this class are proven "Psychopaths" who get their dose of booster in the economic sessions. i assume that their indifference curve has same slope throughout the 1.5 hrs (if u understand what have i written, please make me understand..).

" higher the fixed cost, more will be the profitability of the company."... ohhh....is it? the links that SHE is establishing between price elasticity, fixed cost, profitability, comapany..blah blah..with some indifference curves is making me more indifferent to the class. i bet that my company will rake in moolah without having faintest of idea of these topics. My all time icon is ""hefner" ;-)

the person on my left is Mr. Amit who is lost in the dream world of his recently acquired girl. God knows when he accepts this fact. next to him is Mr Vivek Gupta..do i really need to say anything about him? in front of me are four studious gals (including Vineet) who are awestruck by the knowledge of the faculty.

sanjay kapri is pondering over the options for a partner, for the evening stroll. he really has keen eyes that spots only HOT zones of the class. the senior most member of our batch and moulik seem to be lost in their own world. "minor" is staring at the board as if he has lost his balls somewhere.

The class is observing Silence for Venky's Dog left for heavenly abode. I can see the agony in the eyes of those who are sitting in the back rows with him. this is really a big loss for the Hyderabad gang. May God help them in tough times.

jitu, naoshad and chatu.. are negotiating with their virtual employers. naoshad seems to have got 49 petis. kunal is till now holding back "recycled water" in his tummy. Nigel seems very happy coz just now he discovered a new way to kill his time. kaoshal sheoran wants this class to end, tomorrow he is receiving Nobhel Prize for his innovative hair cut.

err.. i was lost in the blogging world. right now the faculty is trying to make his pupil understand about the price of rides. she must have realized that the class has galloped away to fantasy world.

only time, the class is responding is...when SHE asks.. isn't it? ...... YES MAM

"any questions?"... class is back into the previous mode.

GODLY Gesture

i came across this article on net and thought it,inspiring enough to find a place in this blog. a true story, which goes on like this..
It took place on a BA (British Airway) flight betweenJohannesburg and London. A white woman, about 50 years old, was seatednext to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the airHostess. "Madam, what is the matter?" the hostess asked. "Youobviously do not see it then?" She responded. "You placed me next to a black child . I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat." "Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available." The hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is one seat in the business class. All the same, we also have one seat in the first class." Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is unusual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to makesomeone sit next to someone so disgusting." She then turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, sir, if youwould like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you infirst class." At the moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

UNIQUELY SPJAIN

finally i managed to post a blog in more than a month...this is a special blog for me coz i am writing this while the class is ON. dont know why, i am not intrested.
today is my 14 th day in singapore and i have managed to survive a very hectic schedule, to do some charity for the blogger community and inspire the world with my thoughts.
the day i landed up in s'pore with my friends i.e. on 30th june, i was not at all happy, unlike those who had come with me. i knew that very soon i would be home sick..yup, its true- i am a family man(will marry the day i find a perfect match. Does not matter-whether she wishes or not). the thoughts of leaving my mom and dad continued to haunt during the next 25 min drive from airport to college. Finally, i was facing a 6 storey@ 10hydreabad road (dental hospital in british times..a heritage site..transformed into state of art B-school) with my 38 kgs of luggage, just to find that my cabin is on the top floor and the lift's license is still to be acquired....ahh..i lost arnd 500 gms of my precious FAT pushing my luggage to the cabin (i had the enthusiasm to go upstairs only till 4th floor-girls wing).
While trying to network with new friends, i came across few faces that i had seen on my evaluation day and while in OC course in Mumbai. This college seems no different than a normal school, college or B-school, where u select your first gang on the basis of region, language, blah blah..but these things will fade out sun once we start interacting with evryone.
in just 14 days, we participated in many crucial events viz inaugration, trip to sentosa, visits by elite personalities and corporates of S'pore. but the most exciting trip for me are the trips to classrooms (wondering why...wait 4 my next blog). scarcest resource here is time but i have learnt ways to kill time.
most importantly, we are getting faculties from the premier B-schools of india.
all in all, i can say that next 10 months will b "excruciating" fun.

Few years down the line, i want to be known as Vinayak "the crusader", alumni of pioneer batch of SPJCM, singapore.
