So, finally landed up at IMT………..
NOTE: Before I start , m starting a new concept called SLEEP CALCI…which just basically calculates the amount u sleep in hrs and also ratio of sleeping hrs by total hrs till date (at IMT) called sleeping index.
25 Jun: MON
DAY 0(a) : I call it day zero since nothing much happened. Got allotted room that’s it for the day. Just transferred my luggage frm my home to the hostel……( distance= hardly 5km)..so just 3 trips by bike…………….

29 Jun: FRIDAY3: The best day of orientation :
Yoga again at am…
“
OUTBOUND” training today……….
Wats that??…
well we r divided into teams & wat v do….simply play games…..ofcouse wid some management angles & twist 2 dem…………
Eg: crossing spider web, rappelling ( jumping from 3rd floor of our hostels), crossing open amphhi hanging upside down, crossing the bridge b/w 2 ropes etc………
Every game was fun& we really enjoyed every moment of it……also helped us bond wid most of my classmates.
Exhausted by the physical training we returned to our beds
. & guess wat happens next………..
We r called for “PDP”….again…. this time it continued till 5:40am in the morning & was bak for yoga at 6am…
so just “NO SLEEP FOR ME DAT NIGHT”……..
Sleep Calci…..
Sleep hrs=2 (still)
Sleep index=2/48=.0416666
30Jun: SAT
DAY4:
NO SLEEP- for me? Here’s a guy who sleeps for at least 8hrs a day….( testimonial can b given by ex-roomies….sharique, sadique, afroz, fahim, zahid.. r u guys there?) ..
And this guy gets hardly 2 hrs sleep in whole 48hrs……..
the whole body is aching & asked 2 do Yoga …whew….
I m asked to do our first case study in class, & m constantly taking small power naps….
Profs keep on asking us how many min hav we slept & …for the first time we came 2 know dey knew completely about “PDP”…..and guess wat, dey allow us sleep b/w classes..
( how generous)…….
& v hav just learnt the art of stealing time for sleeps….
More invited talks wid alumni…. Ppts pf clubs & committees….
So ,
60 min lunch break= 30min lunch + 30 min power nap….
15 min breaks b/w classes = sleeps wid 100% efficiency ( & they say 100% efficiency is not possible)
60 min dinner break= 30min dinner + 30 min power nap….
More PDPs that night…….
……but slept for “THREE” hrs …..felt like as if slept for ages………….
z zzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz z
Sleep Calci…..
Sleep hrs= 2+3+2(power naps)= 7hrs
Sleep index=7/72=.097222222..
Hey the ratio finally inflated a bit……..
1July: SUN
DAY5:
The “vicious cycle” continues…
Yoga, intro classes, invited talks,
But time for some fun…………….
Girls were asked to choose their dance partners that night….. since the there are around 80girls for 280boys …so boy partners were choosen in a unique way ( I not discussing that here)………..and as my luck is………...no girl for me like rest of 200 guys called ****** for that night…..
& wat v do…..v form groups & asked 2 prepare really fun presentations from various topics like girls in our batch , the most intimidating seniors, the ****** club etc……in just 2hr flat…..
Paper dance that nite b/w couples……& den our ppts and we were boowed, cheered, by seniors…………
Note : Some part has been deliberately edited here ; people interested in more details ( & that’s were the real fun lie) can contact me personally…………
Fun over…v move for more PDPs…..continues till 5am in the mrng for me……………
Did all kind of stuff …like… (&&&&,^^^^^^^^,@@@, !!!!!!!.......)*
