God's institute of Management is a fully residential quality oriented management and business school where , the students are imparted training by professionally qualified and continually motivated managers , who also focus in research and......

Holly crap.. thundered Professor Anand shankar,who taught advertising at GIM,who m the vice chairman Prof Shanmugham potti had given a piece of literature to read.... I wonder who writes such stuff... looks so very monotonous.... and far away from truth....

Others who sat in the common sitting room having tea,laughed at the astounding ways of prof anand... he always did it ..he said it out ,what he meant in a typical lingua, often forgeting that he had left advertising sometime back and is now with this place..the GIM....and is a Professor..

It is a contemporary expression of a colossal..... started Prof Mathew varghese , no prizes for guessing, he taught english in the afternoons to classes, who where only half receptive, the other half being asleep......

Why dont you tell the VC ( Prof Shanmugham potti- the vice chairman was often refered to as ) that it is utter nonsense? inquired prof vasanth iyer, sipping his tea and reading from a Marketing strategy text book as well...

Now that I have done it in your presence, will I have to tell him too.. quipped Anand shankar.....

The place reverberated with laughter at the joke... Anand had just opened a pandorras box by talking out something which others always felt but wouldnt dare enough to talk out. Vasanth was an Iyer and so was the VC and together (with some others) they formed the heart of the Tambrahm clique which made GIM a very funny place....

Vasanth walked out of the common room and barged into his cabin, ostensibly unable to defend the group assault and the fact that no one, not even his fans didnt dare to support him in a hour of need...

Prof Ram was late to the class and the kids were up in their peak of disorder.... some came out of the amphitheatre where the class was scheduled and stood in the quadrangle facing the sea.... it was a beautiful sight there to see the distant sea from the quadrangle of GIM... a trully beautiful sight.....

Not as per Dr Jesus.... The chairman's only son, the Director of GIM, US educated softspoken administrator but at times flaring up like a forest fire which made him behave like a crown prince ( which he was) and earning him the sobriquet from the North Indian students who studied there- Samrat Natvardhan or in short nattu ..... He was also an evangelist which some accuse was the families another trick for making money...they were into the two most happening businessess -Education and God....

Why are those people standing there? ......asked Jesus calling out Jansi william , the secretary in the faculty office.

The poor lady trembled, muttered and murmured for want of words and things to say.... It was no way in connection with her job but again neither she, nor the authorities in GIM knew what her job was.. she came.. sat in the faculty room at the centre table..did all the works the faculty gave her, often dumped on her without grace and with impudence, ran to the head office when some one called her asking her this and that, often things far outside her knowledge and area of expertise and got abuses and statements which made her eyes wet the whole day..... and very often get kicked ( not literally ) by the frustrated students who saw her as a safe place to vent out..

I am asking you...Thundered Jesus.....

I dont know sir... she shivered as she said...

whose class is this now ?

It is Prof Ram ..sir....

Ask him to meet me before he goes to the class.... and tell the class representative that he is suspended for the next one week...

Jesus walked into his Plush cabin and Jansi ran to the faculty room, half relieved that her life ,for the moment is saved and half trembing as to what will happen next.......
*******************************************************
The canteen was a favourite place for the students of GIM... for three reasons....

1.it was a bit far from the ever so'disciplined' folks who ruled GIM

2. it hadnt had AC and such plush paraphernalia but hadnt had the omnipresent camera which made everyone in GIM a talented actor the moment they stepped into the large main door where sat the huge picture of Dr Joy smiling like a fool.

3.there they could sit, stand, talk, crack jokes, run, play and very very important...use mobile phones........
