A culturally shocked southie from Symbie
Welcome back!
So thats the end of another intro season. Freshers’ party is over. No state funda(like RECW) here. Its one single party. RECs eventhough were meant for national integration, the life there revolves around state funda, thats a negation of the basic purpose.
SIBM, is mere “integration”, no national of people,mind ,soul, body(????)
Yes, we had the Freshers’ party yesterday, rather started yesterday. Reached home at 4:00 am. Me never a party animal, not even a party midget if there is such a term for small time party goers.
The funda was that all the juniors had to get a guy/gal from the senior batch(obviously opposite sex) as their “date” and thats the entry to the party. With a skewed sex(umm… gender) ratio, there was no question of all the junie guys getting senior gals….Most of the dates were showered with chocolates and bouquets , thats what the junies had to do. The venue was far way , thats was in Hinjewadi, if I trust Idea Cellular’s towers(thats what was shown on my phone).
It was booze all over. The crowd was rocking. Bangalore would have got a shock, and really be ashamed had he(thats Bangalore personified) come down to the party. Skimpiness was redefined. It reached newer lows, newer (t)highs, newer depths…….
The floor was crowded. Decibels were so high, decibel measuring devices would surely have been ruptured. The junta was dancing, enough to let a Seismograph(oh!! if u dun know whats that, check google) to record mild tremors…..
What I am left with is loss of lots of calories. I swear, I haven’t sweated like this , nowhere in near future. Dancing makes you sweat, proven beyond disbelief.Not even when I was grilled by all the wardens and diro at REC , when accused in a ragging case, did I sweat like this.(yes, I did a bit , I was on the verge of chucked out of the insti-thats well an old story)….
Is there a real gap between the south and the north. I feel yes… otherwise I would not have got a big cluture shock when I saw gals boozing, fagging…non stop. I may sound sexist, I have seen guys boozing….gals never seen boozing like what I saw yesterday… India is diverse… Gandhi was wrong when he said that one should go to rural India, to know what India is. He stands corrected. Its not rural India, its the Metroes and wannabe Metroes that reflects the real picture.
I jump into comparison with RECW in between my Symbi talk… REC did have a cosmo crowd, but smoking and boozing were taboo for the fairer sex, atleast not in open, public…. I guess I am lagging behind…. I am not feeling the real pulse of India…..Gotta catch up…. Adios…..

nice write-up……..i feel a sense of dejau-vu after reading it…..these were my thoughts exactly after the cultural shock i got after my fresher’s party. however, it was not so much directed at the fairere sex – it was more towards the junta in general….well, welcome to symbi….one thing i can assure u now – nothing will surprise/shock u anymore
I think itz a really good write – up. Ofcourse as usual nikhil has dramatized it to great proportions…kidding…frankly itz his opinion and i think itz funny…
gained a lot calories….really……..just one party……u wanna me to believe this ?????
& seems like u sweated a lot…y didn’t u have the idea of collecting all the sodium chloride & neutalise the whole situation by adding lemon(acid) juice into it ???
so that’s the pshyco comment from my side….
Nice post dude – But I beg to differ. The drinking scene is not very different north or south. Nor the girls, nor the lifestyle – It’s only the food… boo hoo
I think you have finally broken the writting block… can i cntrl,C and V it?
Ya, forgot to mention , gave a great & sweating 24 hours at Symbi.. BOL
An absolutely hypocritical ,sexist piece if there ever was one.
My enlightened roomate , who was dancing and ogling away with ecstacy evident on his face (he had made grandiose plans of shooting all the happenings in the party which were drifting towards the intimate.
Thankfully our 3rd rommie refused to lend his digital cam and be a part of this nonsense!),discovers his loss of calories and his sense of southerness !!
Pray what is wrong with a female drinking when it is ok for his southie male friends to do the same? Does he not realise that it is a lifestyle and class barrier which he needs to get used to ,not some imaginary line which divides the girls of our country as southern savitris and northern whatevers. And one needs to remind the poor fellow that the diff between an REC and a b-school are the fees ….both legal and illegal of course !
u dont mean north n south-u probably mean nammude tvm vs rest of india.
its also interesting to note that half d bskool junta is frm RECs n IITs.they cant have changed in the 2 months b/w 8th semester b tech and 1st semester MBA
lots more on RECs and national ‘dis’integration later.
Nice posts niks…but puhlease dont blame the northie gals n stuff…bangalore n chennai are not far behind afas partyin is concerned..n u know wot u will even southie gals at discs…Let people have fun da…
Happy ogling!!!!!
hey nikhil my comment at last……..awesome musings man.
-that was mah reaction after reading ur latest post.
well all i can say is “welcome to the b-school life”[not that i have been here very long...]
and get used to the sweating man
and im sure u aint tagging the southie gals to be savithris and the northies as watever,so chillax saurabh dude,im sure u can get ur extra miles with the gals in some other discussion.
and keep up the good work nicky
[and btw,dont expect me to be all praise for u in the future comments too.......this is a one time thingy]
cheers!
Ha HA. You are culturally shocked bcos u r from kerala dude. You have been living under a rock(well kerala is that I guess) if you haven’t seen gals in south indian cities drink, smoke and partay. I am not sure where you’ve been to in bangalore and chennai, but you definitely haven’t been to the right places. Damn, comparing the crowd at the freshers party at a tier 2 B-school to that of bangalore/chennai party circles … ridiculous.
