LIBA is not just an MBA College- Its a production house of Energy, Talent and Crazy load of fun! :D

Yesss I knoww I have been a lazy bumm and I should write more often.. but for now, read on ;) :P

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I actually cant think of a way to start this post you know.. So i thought i would just start it by saying the truth! :P

And yea this post is going to be long since its been a while that i posted and A LOT has been going around here in LIBA! And yea this post has- 'NO GOSSIPS' just in case you are expecting that!! :P

Hmmm.. God when i come to think of it, there have been just so many events taking place here .. wait let me recall and do comment if i miss out any ( for those who are not from/in LIBA but still follow the blog, well you guys are just gonna be really jealous for the next 5 minutes coz we people had some crazy fun time in the past one month ;) ).

So yea, lets go in the order the events happened.. First the seniors introduced "CLUBBIN" to the fellow juniors! Yes, clubbing, why you guys think that we are so busy that we cant partyeh with our juniess.. huh huh.! :P Well actually to be frank, we kinda are :/ so we just introduced them to the new clubs that are there inside LIBA which can keep them occupied :D 

Apart from the regular clubs/cells which have been in existence for some time now like the Placement committee, The student affairs club- 360 Degrees, Alumini Committee, HR Club, Finance Club, Mark It, a few new clubs have come into picture and made a mark- to begin with we have the Entrepreneurial cell - called IGNITE. Its a great initiative and a lot of hard work and effort is being put into getting things into place and running. We also have a brand new Systems Club called "BINARY' and Environment Club! Seems like too much enthusiasm and spirit that cant be contained inside classrooms, so we just end up  opening new clubs so that we can channelize every source of talent that LIBA has got! ;D

Ohh that reminds me, my take on the juniors- and I am sure that most of my batch would agree with me that our juniors are really a talented batch! Its like an O-M-G Batch! ( Waah! I just gave the F12 batch a name! ;D Voila! haha) And I am not even exaggerating! Okay tell me how many of you guys have juniors who gave you a mob dance in their own freshers?! I mean we were Awww Struck! These bunch of smart pants chupke chupke organized this whole routine of mob dance while we were busy attending classes and organizing for their freshers and no one came to know a shit about it! WOW! And on the D-Day, when Nagesh ( our very famous MC) got done announcing with all the dance and songs ( ohh that reminds me.. the juniors know how to dance- the girls should get a special mention out here, Wattaaa coordination machii..! Superaaa! - F11 U better watch out for LIBERATED, coz you have some serious competition coming your way!), then all of a sudden the juniors came on stage and said that they wanna sing a group song- and how they sang- Brilliant! And then all of sudden-  from no where-  while we cheered downstage-  there was a MOB! Yea just like that.. exactly how it happens in movies and YouTube!!

What spirit and what enthusiasm! I have no words for you guys..! We all had a fabulous night. And to say the least, it wasn't a freshers night that day, it was a LIBA Open Air Party!! and the DJ in the House where none other than the Juniors ;)

Ahhh.. now let me tell you about something really specific to LIBA. The next two events are really exciting and pretty new to LIBA. First would be the 'Buddy Program'. Here every junior gets to chose a senior to be their buddy ( by simply going and asking a senior they like or want to mentor them and feel can be around to help them out in any way they want). So ill tell you what generally happens and what happens in special occasions. Well generally, though you don't know your seniors that well, you end up being good or decent friends with your budd ( Unless you realize that you aren't really meant to be around each other that much :P you know what i mean.. ) And on special occasion, you actually end up going out with your buddy ;) ( we have had a lot of them who were rumored to have been going out with their buddies- this would put me at the top of that list! :/  and some who actually did go out and are still happily dating - God Bless you lovebirds :D <3)

Not that i am giving you fellas any ideas, but this is how its been so far, but since F12 have done things differently so far, who knows what they turn this buddy program into! :) - ( My personal advice to you guys, and also as TAS said - " Be single in these two years! MBA is just not the place to date, but then its my personal opinion ;) )

And now comes one of the most controversial yet awaited events of LIBA- The LIBA PREMIERE LEAGUE aka LPL

Well if you weren't here to witness the controversies of LPL, don't bother asking anyone what they where.. coz trust me you wouldn't understand shit :P 

But to actually tell you what LPL is all about - well its just a LIBA version of IPL, with a twist that its not all about cricket but consists of a number of management and sport events. The format however remains almost similar to that of IPL, where teams on the names of different Indian cities are auctioned out for REAL MONEY and to everyone's surprise all the teams ( 8 in all - Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Cochin, Goa, Madurai and Kolkata) were auctioned for almost 1 lac ruppees!! The highest bid went for a some 18,000/- for Team Kolkatta. 

LPL gets featured in the newspaper! :D

United we stand...

Zach - The Brick Man!!

Now as the games proceed, and as points are being fetched, things are getting heated up. Though everyone is busy with their projects, test and case studies, somehow we all manage to get some time for LPL. And to think of it, that's what its all bout, isn't it- Bringing  us together? :)

And finally something from my life- to give this blog a personal touch :P
Ahh well we have these student exchange programs right? So the four of us- Abhishek Ganguly, Father aka Justin Joseph, Anisha Sequira and meee have been selected to go to Washington DC this fall. :)

We will be there for 3.5 months interning with an organization and also working on the MDG Goals set by United Nations. So though we would be missing out on some very important courses and events, but I believe that this is an experience which would definitely add value to our perspective if nothing else. Global Mantra as i call it ;)

Juniors in case you are interested in such programs, keep your eyes and ears open, coz you never know when opportunity knocks your door!

So that brings me to my last update of the night. Since i would be posted in DC for the next 4 months, starting August end, who would be reporting about LIBA? Well I thought that since no one has ever really recorded a student exchange experience in Pandora's, I will keep writing from DC, but if you feel that you can add more "masala" to this blog, then do mail me your updates and i will incorporate them in this blog :)

Chalo, need to go and read EBUS cases :/ ( haha.. actually ill just go back to Fb'in :P )

Until next time- Keep Chuggin ;)

Ps- Thanks to Neha Ashok, for some of these fab pictures ;)

PS 2- I am so sorry for the weird highlights in the middle, this dumb ass blog is acting all crazy 12 in the night.. i'll edit it later on... just tried to make it readable for now!
