Caffeine Addicts

Before, almost every student used to complain about the quality of food and the service levels at the dining hall. Now people are tired and bored. Emails have stopped flowing that direction. The whole problem has taken a new dimension now. Guess what?

Sarovar (people who serve us food) found out that some people in the batch were actually stealing coffee from the vending machines. You may ask - how can this be done?

"Well, its not very difficult" - would be the reply from some of our smartest MBA Students, who have paid more than 15 lacs to be in this place and dont want to pay a single penny more, even if its for their daily coffee. Just bang the coffee vending machine on both sides at some strategic points (why strategic - well, if you are doing an MBA, then you got to use the word "strategic" for every ten words you use in a sentence. and that is their explanation), shake it vehemently and then you'll instantaneously get a hot cup of coffee, without spending the usual 5 ruppees. [heard from a person who actually does that]

So, here we are in a place that commands integrity to such a large extent, with the so-called leaders of tomorrow, some of whom are MORONS, who do all this.

When the administration complained that they were fed up with this kind of behavior and that they were not prepared to repair the machines because it cost them a lot, I think they were totally justified.

Then comes another champion of the cause from the Students side, who starts talking about commercial enterprises, subsidizing food, and efficient markets. Well, he definitely didnt have the brains to understand that it was his friends from the batch who were breaking the machine and he was advocating for what had happened, under the impression that all that was a totally justified act. What a total dumb-ass he was.

And then, the one person who was among the most honest community in the batch struggled to keep quiet and responded. He did educate the other guy that breaking equipment and stealing is not the way to react in any situation. atleast in the civilized world, in which efficient markets operate, this doesnt happen.

Well, whatever said and done. My point is - why the hell do you have to steal stuff. Ok, steal it. thats also fine, but then, of all things, why go and break a vending machine. are you such a pauper? are you insane?

and yes, these are some of the people who scored exceptional gmat scores, cleared the initial screening round, and impressed the interviewer to find their way here.

and i am sure, this will continue with the future as well.
