Issues

Issue No 1. IIMA - Its flaws.
Sangharsh, a sports competition between IIM A, B and L (first timers) which was held at IIM A this year, came to a nail biting close two days back. It was a time when we forgot the normal days of cases, quizzes and what not, to live, eat, drink and sleep sports. THE event for sports lovers on campus, it is an event very close to heart for each IIMite, and is valued on those lines too.
Valued alas only by the students, at least from what was apparent in the apathetic and sadistic, if I may call it so, behaviour of IIM A's administration and faculty towards it.
I'll take the liberty of running you through what I'm talking about.
Saturday, Sangharsh begun in the morning with a few students having matches before and during classes. A little surprised, well no one in their right mind would even think that IIM A could cancel a day's worth of class now could they!!
Hold on; it gets better. What might you think we had in our minds at the end of classes? I can tell you what it wasn't, it wasn't a quiz. Now, an IIM A student not having 'quizzes' in his mind; unacceptable. So they decided to send a googly our way, holding a quiz, on a Saturday, despite the unwritten rule that there shall be no quizzes on Saturdays, IN THE MIDDLE OF SANGHARSH ESPECIALLY!!
What hurt the most was that it was taken for a course without a specified course component.
No, infact what hurt the most was the apathy, indifference and near happiness with which the relevant professor was explaining how the quiz came about to occur.
I cannot understand how an institute meant for some of the best of India, having some of the best brains of India as faculty doesn't quite realise the importance of non-academic activities as having a major contribution to the development of an individual. It is unbelievable how a premier institute like this can suppress all 'extra' curricular activites, forget about proactively taking some interest in them!
It doesn't irritate me as much as it pains me.

Issue No 2. Settling Down.
I have a major concern, albeit extremely premature and idiotic in nature; 'When, and with whom will I settle down?'.
If I had one wish this moment, it would be to have someone I love, booked for marriage with whom it WILL work out and I want it to work out etc etc.
It sounds and truly is quite lame, but I cant help it. I have had enough of a lot of things!
I just wish I could give all my love, emotion, care; my all to someone without any fear, something that I believe can only happen one last time now.

Issue No 3. Idleness.
Bigtime issue!
I am at the pinnacle of idleness despite having a lot to do in some ways and a lot I could do in others. Need enthusiasm, and it really isn't coming out right now. This is the most pressing one of all, and hope it's sorted asap.

It bothers my little brain,
all these things, this pain,
I do not like it, I wish it gone,
so I can be at peace on my own.
