Bool Sheet & The Jom Bees - A short story

Dedicated to all my PGSEM'08 brethren giving exams this weekend!! Especially the bongs will understand it best! :)


Bool Sheet always liked to imagine he was the most creative and never followed the crowd. He liked to look down upon the Jom Bees - The Fiery Bee, The Fighter Bee, The Queen Bee, The Sloppy Bee, The SharpAss bee, The SharpTongue Bee, The Shy Bee and all the other future IIM Bees.

So one day Bool Sheet thought why attend the Saza-e-xams like all the sleepy and studious Jom Bees instead he struck upon a plan to go and destroy the evil Jom's Palace. At the Jom Err Daar - the massive gateway he was stopped by Jom's guards Mosh and Rouhs! He wanted to capture the core of the power center - the mighty palace itself, kill Jom and have all the Jom Bees under his control.They gave him a Saar-Bhey an ancient weapon of mass destruction - and told him to feel it. As soon as Bool held the Saar-Bhey it started to emit powerful green Likert rays! And then Bool slumped to the floor unconscious.

The evil guards dragged him to Jom - the evil king - the most powerful of them all in all realms and splashed Jal Jeera on Bool's face to give him a sweet-sour justice and Bool was wide awake.

He pleaded to Jom to allow him to go back to the Jom Bees. That is when his eyes fell on Sec C May Aye - she seemed to be waving at him! She was making a sign which he couldn't understand when the booming voice of Jom reverberated all over the massive courtroom of the palace. 

"Did you feel it?", he said loudly.
"No Sor Car", managed Bool in his feeble voice. What was he supposed to feel he wondered.
"Feel it now, and if you get the wrong answer I shall behead 'U'"
That is when Bool understood what Sec C was indicating.

The Saar-Bhey had a single Maaltee-C Ques Chan, much more agile and spirited than the Jackie Chan. Bool felt a shiver go down his Sheet!

But Bool knew this was a question of life and death and he could not Bool Sheet here, so he took out his magical Sheet and started doing rapid and vigorous calculations... whatever he remembered from what Mugger Much had been loudly rote learning in their Shared Moor, when he was trying his best to sleep - pillow on his ears! He felt a greater chill ..

Two aeons went by as a few Kal Koo Laas fell - several of them and other Seem Balls died and were reborn! It was a sight to behold.

Sec C was now back in the Hostail (the harem of the evil king Jom)
But she was agitated - what if Bool had to lose his head, I mean really...
She grew ever so impatient and started to pray in 140 letters walking hither and twither!

And then, and then ultimately came the moment and Bool was in a position to give the Ques Chan a befitting reply.
He held up his arm like a CP King (stupid Jom bee, bored Jom Bee etc adopted this policy often as a defensive ploy) in one of the classes ... and blurted out:
"Ass Saar"

"What did you call me ? An ass?", thundered Jom, bringing out his sword with a clink!!
"Ass Saar"

Sec C was back by now and tried to explain:
"He means A, my beloved king!"

"Oh! Is it correct?", he turned and asked his favourite court finance guru, Meri Lynch Lo.
"I will have to ask the DeeVaaR sir! He is the most knowledgeable".
"Oh your EffBee DeeVaaR - go ahead do it now, I cant wait any longer"
After kraaood shorshing Meri Lynch Lo brought out a bottle full of invective laden Komments, squirming inside of the bottle. Some red, some blue, some black and blue...

"Lo and behold Jom saar, I have transgressed them and the correlation says..", he stopped, fearful that Jom might behead him immediately - sword in hand he looked utterly frightening.

"Say it out now, you fool!"
"Sir the boy is right. Bool Sheet is absolutely right. He got an A and my results also show an A", he concluded.
Jom's face was now weirdly contorted, how could he get it right, he wondered. There is some conspiracy. Bool Sheet how on Earth - I mean how in Jom did he get it right???
That is when his eyes fell on Sec C staring at Bool and Bool staring back at her and he roared.
Sec C fell off the chair and somehow managed to regain her composure.
Bool was now happy - his latest A meant he had a total of 2.0009 as See Gee Pee Aye - The scrolls of the INDAH STREE The wife of the Kaar Purrate, could now no longer harm him although he was thought of as being creative (in other words weak)!

Staring back at Jom undaunted he raised his hand and cried "I have the Power! PGSEM." He made a finger-ful guesture to the imaginary INDAH STREE...

Jom now trembled, before he could raise his sword - a yellow stain marred his white pajamas and eventually the whole of his being turned yellow and the fearsome Jom dissappeared into thin air!

Bool Sheet and Sec C lived happily forever! 
And all the Jom Bees were set free... They are also referred to as IIM Bees now, or Free Bees, or May Bees.

IIMB PGSEM SOP Essays.

The IIMB PGSEM application for 2008 had a SOP section which required 5 short essays to be written. Here are the ones I had written: Statement of Purpose How do you see the PGSEM helping you in your goals? (150 words) My taking up the PGSEM course has twin objectives, namely, self-development and learning all aspects of setting up, managing a commercial/social enterprise. Having worked in the software industry for five years, I have closely seen the software development life-cycle. However, there are several aspects of business and the economy that are of interest to me and I find the time ripe to explore these in a formal way, through academics; specifically strategic management of a firm, innovation strategies, and the scope of strategic consulting. Getting ready to usher in acceleration in growth opportunities in my care...

DNA newspaper plagiarizes my photographs!

The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website...
