What are some of the best stories about life at IIM Ahmedabad?

Hi,

A very interesting story I found online:

Scene: Understanding People and Organizations, known as UPO (a course that contained way too much theory for most people to stomach, produced several agents for the "sleeper cell") taught by Prof Vishal Gupta. The guy sitting behind me had been deep asleep for the last fifteen minutes, and we had all been stifling our laughter at the sight of it.

Background: This prof was exceedingly friendly, and would never lose his temper. Even if the class was breaking out into chaos, he'd just raise his voice ever so slightly and we'd all quiet down in moments - you could say he was firm yet friendly.

He glanced at the sleeper behind me, then told the person next to him with a seemingly alarmed smile:

Please wake him up before he falls off his seat!

When he woke up with a start, the prof genially smiled at him and sent him to wash his face. Henceforth, in every class of his he would cast a quick glance at him and ask him whether he was awake! :P

Scene: Marketing-II class (which was to be taught by Prof Dheeraj Sharma)

Exactly on time, instead of Prof Sharma, in walks Prof Sanjay Verma.
Background: Prof Sanjay Verma was from the information sciences department.

For a few seconds, we all sat silent, trying to understand the anomaly. He looked around and announced nonchalantly:

"You were expecting Amitabh Bacchan, instead you got Prem Chopra!"

Scene: There was once a meeting organised between the PGP1s, the PGP2s and Profs Pavan Mamidi and Ankur Sarin. This had been to discuss difficulties we had been facing in the rigorous system WIMWI is so notorious for (yes, the struggle is real.)

Background: One of the complaints, in simple terms, was that the PGP1s and 2s were not bonding well enough despite many activities intended to improve this camaraderie. Also, for those who don't know, Gujarat is a dry state (so liquor is officially illegal)

Prof Mamidi, upon hearing this complaint from the PGP2s, did a facepalm and remarked to the PGP2s present:

How hard is it to bond with someone? Just get together, smoke up, have a drink and everyone's peaceful!

Hope it helps.
