'Coz its a Friday!' - Life at IIM Bangalore

With quizzes, alumni talks, blood donation camps or fests and events lined up on almost every weekend, Fridays seem to have lost themselves in all the hustle-bustle of IIMB. They don’t really spell ‘Party’ anymore; but then who says we need a ‘special day’ to party? Here we live by the phrase – Study Hard, Party Harder. All that needs to be validated before a ‘party’ can be called for: friends available – check, no quizzes next day – check, no events next day – check; and we are good to go. Music, pizza, dance, psychedelic lights, unadulterated fun – Friday or no Friday, we party till dawn!

We at IIMB do not deal with the ‘7-day-a-week’ concept. We start with classes and assignment submissions and end it with a party, and call the intermediate period a ‘week’, regardless of how many days it comprises of! Isn’t quite the way I dealt with my life for so many years, starting right from school days through my college days and ending at my corporate lifestyle, but definitely the way that made me give up my favoritism for Fridays. A bunch of good friends, a quiz-less week, and the party is ON!
