Concept based on Anything For You Ma'am.
Overview-
This story is not about how to get into an IIM or even to survive there. It is about 4 friends Armaan, Riddhima, Rahul and Muskaan. The problem is that Armaan is smitten with Riddhima who happens to be the Director's (of the Institute) daughter. Will their friendship survive? Will their love survive? What about their future?
NOTE- There is no character sketch. You will get to know as the story proceeds.I will tell this story through Armaan. So it will be funny one..less on romantic situation!! Okay?? Then ..get on the fun ride!!
Part-1
I would often wonder what it took to get into an IIM and what kind of people actually got in. Well maybe there were all like me (not people out of this world or geniuses) or may be I was an exception. Anyway, I had wanted to enter the hallowed portals of an IIM & now I was all set to realize that dream.
Before joining an IIM, the pre-joining activists start rolling. Each IIM sets up its own Yahoo! Group for the incoming batch. It's the 1st platform really to get to know the other would-be mates of IIM. A pre-admit party was held in Delhi. Most of the people were from Delhi & NCR. Everyone had been from a college or had a working experience. Actually I had got my undergraduate degree as an Engineer from Delhi College of Engineering. At the party I met two fellow college mates, Rahul and Atul. There were only 4 girls. That was the one thing that Delhi guys got worried about, only 4 girls turning up for the party as compared to 60 guys. All of us thought that if this was going to be the sex ratio at the IIM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The journey from Bangalore Airport to the IIM campus was a hectic one. The one hour drive ended with a bumpy ride on the Bannerghata road. I wondered if I am going to an IIM or any Govt. Primary school of any village. After entering the campus, I got to know that all the new students have to meet to the chief warden of the hostel to gets rooms allotted. I had got a room on D- Block, no. 129. Out pf 8 rooms on the floor apparently 4 were of seniors and rests 4 were for new students. I opened my room and got inside. It seemed like Osama had blasted a bomb inside. The room was full of dust. So I decided to check who was going to be my neighbor for the next 2 years.
I kept knocking on the door next to my room for about 5 mins like a moron, after which a half sleep awaken guy came guy rubbing his eyes. It was Rahul.
"You b*stard, left me alone on Delhi" I said kicking him on legs.
"Hey Armaan, good to see you man. Actually I had some work here, so got here earlier" He said dodging off my kicks.
"Ok, my room is this one" I said pointing towards the room next to his.
"Good"
"You have some broom or dirty cloths?" I asked him.
"Wait'take this" He handed me a broom.
"Why you need this" He asked.
"To clean my room, and please help me to get my room cleaned"
He shut the door on my face, and again I started the work of knocking like a moron. But this time Rahul didn't come out, instead a senior came out having a disgusted look on his face from the room nearby.
"What the hell are you doing man" He shouted.
"Sorry" I said politely.
"New student? How about a small introduction" He asked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hard work which I had done till the evening gave a decent look to my room. A few minutes later, fresh and changed into new clothes, I thought of checking some psychos with whom I could become friends. The newcomers could be identified because of the look of owe & bewilderment on their faces.
"Hey you there" I heard someone shouting & turned to see a guy with his gang pointing at me. They all looked like animals escaped from a zoo.
"Yes sir" I said.
Sir is like something you must address to a senior in a college.
"Give a proper intro of yourself" The guys said after introducing himself as Mayank.
"Armaan Mallik, I came to the campus today only"
After giving him the standard into of myself, he pointed me to a girl walking past us.
"You know her?" he asked.
"No Sir" I said after scanning her for 5 sec. I must admit she was pretty. Actually a lot more than that.
"Go ask her name and about her room" He ordered me.
"What?"
"Are you deaf or what?"
"Ok Sir" I said hastily.
I went to that girl on my mission to get her name and room details. I also wanted to know but not like this.
"Excuse me"
"Yes??" She said softly.
I stood there silent, staring at her face. I had an urge to kiss her at that moment.
"What's your name & where is your room" I asked her in one breath.
"What the hell" She went away giving me a you-bloody-loafer look.
"Please tell me, please"
"Get away from me. What do you think of yourself?"
"Sorry, actually the seniors ordered me to ask you" I defended pointing toward the seniors.
"There is no one"
"What?"
I turned back to see the seniors. Really there were none of the animals, they had left me alone and were probably enjoying the situation from somewhere. I turned toward her, she had already gone away. Good impression dude, I smirked mentally.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the canteen I met Rahul.
"What happened? Why are you looking so sad?" He asked.
"Nothing dude, what's today's program?" I changed the topic.
"What program?"
"I mean, Is there any program in the campus today"
"Let me ask someone"
"hey Atul, come here" he shouted toward Atul.
Atul saw me and gave me hug.
"When you came here, didn't see you earlier" Atul asked me.
"Came today, Good to see you" I replied.
"Atul, what's up for today at the campus?" Rahul interrupted.
"There is a personality development program to be conducted by the seniors at the L- Square" Atul replied.
"Basically all ragging thing" I added.
"Lets see, will have to go" Atul said.
"I am not coming, I am not taking part in any engineering college type ragging" Rahul protested.
"Be a sport yaar!" I replied.
"So, you go ahead" Rahul added as he headed out of the canteen with his cup of coffee.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The L-Square was basically an open court area with a stage and lawn all over around it.
It had got its name due to its 'L' shaped appearance. We were asked by the seniors to sit down on the grass. We all sat like kids as if sweets were going to be distributed. I spotted Rahul and went to him to talk.
"You weren't coming, right?" I asked him.
"I came to give you company, nothing more"
"Don't tell lie to me, you came to check some girls naa??"
"You are telling me this? I know you sir, that's not only my purpose. It's yours also!!"
After 10 mins Nitin, the secretary of the cultural committee addressed us.
"I, Nitin Jain, The Secretary of Cultural Committee on behalf of all the seniors welcomes you to IIM-B"
"Get on the real thing dude" A seniors shouted from behind.
"Ok" Nitin said "Well, as it is a personality development program, so I ask you all to show us your talent".
"Yes, you boy sitting there" He pointed towards someone "Come here".
The boy went towards the stage.
"Introduce yourself" Nitin asked him. After giving a proper intro the boy was asked to dance.
While he was dancing Rahul came to me.
"I told you not to come, but you came and dragged me here also" He shouted.
"Achchaa beta?? I dragged you here??" I protested.
Meanwhile the seniors had chosen a new bakra, sorry it was a new bakri as the next one was a girl. The girl walked to the stage. I saw her, Yes she was my girl. Wait, was she??
