War of the Witties

Its been some 2 months as a PGP2 at Goa Institute of Management, and as it seems that I am the only dumb person in the entire campus. Ill rather stay locked in my room or listen to some stupid song than going to the canteen and meddle with people. Such a waste! A degree in Management helps one learn how to waste idle time as yet project that you are damn busy. And it is apparent from the numerous weird groups that has been set up in facebook that recently there has been an outburst in the Management students all across the country. Well, when Mark Zuckerberg came up with the noble idea of groups in the social networking site, I wonder what he had in his mind. Social groups historically was an attribute of the high or low strata of the society. Sophisticated, well groomed people generally used to clutter together and apparently used to laugh at each others' stupid jokes in the high society groups. While poor people in rugged clothes and a toothpick between their teeth used to plot some revenge against their oppressor in the other extreme. There used to be a certain set of criteria to be a part of any group. To be among the royals, one was required to project an image of success , and to be among the ruggeds all one was supposed to do was curse and lose temper. So historically the middle class people were always deprived of the experience of being in a typical social group. In such a scenario, zuckerberg gave everybody an opportunity. And the best thing about this new concept is that one need not have any marking feature. Some stupid moderator or user of one group randomly adds you and you are supposed to leave the group if you dont like it. The irony, one could make you join some group with a single click, but when you plan to leave it you always would get a warning like 'Are you sure you want to leave the group 'MAIN CHUTIYA HOON'?' Obviously you damn program ! So coming back to our topic, i.e the management program a GIM, somehow a stupid person like me who prefers to sleep and smoke the entire day feels jealous of all the witty people out there. How can it be that they get to come up with such amazing ideas whenever someone loses a key or a RFID.
Oh my gawd !! You are so funny man. And you are apparently so smart that you described what a RFID is! Give me a break, on our campus, it is alright to forget your pants but not your RFID. So that effort you took up was not necessary. And a treat , an absolute necessity when you draft a mail like this. Dont overlook the subject line. Awwww F*** ! You just made my heart skip a beat.
But its been an year and we are used to these things. A light tap on the delete button at one corner of my laptop generally helps to overcome when I face these mails. So we planned to come up with something new. It is relevant to mention over here that the theme of our business fest this year has been 'Innovation'. And I should have known that this thing was coming.Whenever anyone plans to go to panjim and the news is made public, all one gets to hear is a list of orders from KFC and Dominos. Though nobody really means it, but putting up a comment is facebook seems necessary. Even if the person leaving for panjim is your next door neighbor, still the preferred channel of communication seems to be Facebook ! Weird !


Neway, I dont complain. And maybe because I am not that fond of pizza/KFC, or maybe because I am too aged to find the humor in these mails and posts, they dont really appeal to me. But seriously man, you are so funny. Ha ha ha ! Im panting for breath. And I guess this post will help you get laid tonight. Ohkay , Ill grab a coffee !
