Bakwas Bandh Karo [May-20]

Section C

1. In the eco class..

Student: Since everyone is logical....

Prof: You mean rational.

Student: Yes, if everyone is rational, why can’t we incentivize the buyer on the basis of rationality?

Everyone in the class including prof: ROFL


Section D

Student says : I have a point.. (TA sitting next to him walks out) ** Student forgets his point **

Proff : Oh now there is no point, TA has stepped out.

** Student stammers and his CP just got lost in the laughter roar of the class **

Student regains his composure. Makes some point. TA walks in.

Proff : Student A spoke. Please note it.

** Another roar of laughter **


Section F

Prof asks a question as to how would you split a profit pie when the two companies’ contributing proportions are 42 and 73.

He cold calls a person. The person is half asleep and is doodling to keep himself awake. He answers “into two”.

Prof: (smiling, sarcastically) “into 2? That’s good answer, but how would you go about it?”

Student: “well, you take 42% of one on one side, and 73% of another on the other side”

Prof (after pausing briefly): does that even add up to a 100? [ It would be, statistically speaking]


Section G

1. Prof (showing the graph of car’s weight vs efficiency): Can you guess what those outliers might be?

Student: Motorcycles !!! [new unit in which Car's weight is measured ?]

 

2. Prof: Yes you have a question?

Student: hmmm..I forgot sir !!!!! [My CPU rebooted hence everything in my RAM got lost] 


3. Context: Quantity of pet food sold related to price

Prof: What do you think the outliers tell us?

Student: There could be various occasions like festivals when consumption was higher. [Pets celebrate festivals by consuming more food!]


4. Stats Prof: *asking people answer for a question*

Student 1 : “sir..sir..sir..sir” (arms raised for a whole minute)

Prof asks student for answer

Student 1 : “aaaa..ahhh..hmmm..cough cough..well..I forgot sir..please give me 2 mins..please sir 2mins” [Carpe-diem buddy ! Time and CP chance wait for none]

Prof never comes back

 

5. Stats Prof: *asking a question to a particular student*

Student 2 (without being prompted tries to answer..does this a lot though J ): “well sir..the answer for this..”

Prof: I did not ask u the answer. can u please keep quiet? [Just because you got a hyper-articulated vocal chord you think you can just keep ploppin out shit?]

Class is stunned to silence for a full 1 min..student 2 tries to play it down by sniggering but the whole class in a way relieved for the person to finally have got  deserved due.


One for the Batch

1. Arbit email nomination:

Dude sends a long mail to entire Students 2010. Then couple of minutes later resends the same mail. Reason: He forgot to put the subject [IMEians read only those mails which have subjects?] 

In future people will resend mail if 

              a. Forget to write their name at the end of the mail

              b. Forget to include their signature at the end of the mail

              c. They wanna put recipents currently in cc to bcc


2. Arbit email nomination again

"Since this might potentially affect all  of us [Yes potentially to only those who care to take shower in water], I am taking the liberty of sending this to everyone in the batch [Doesnt matter if others didnt want you to take that liberty since already someone with exhaustive 8 n half valid points did]. A simple way to reduce the water consumption is to avoid the use of shower nozzles and instead  use water collected in buckets  for bathing. 

[Eureka ! Use water collected in buckets only ! Mugs, spoons & plates are prohibited ! Even for the No. 1s and No. 2s]

This could potentially save 13 litres per person per day.( assuming each one of us would use 2 buckets (40 lts))( For data  pls visit ) [With my mastery in number crunching for my Marketing case study this was easy]

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/everyday/greenhouse/tips.html

 All put together this would amount to a saving of at least  7.3 Kl of water solely by the student community and would contribute 5 % towards the target of 150 KL per day at no additional capital cost.  [Why dont we all dunk ourselves in the pool ! We would be saving much more than just the mere 5% at added fun and no added capital cost]

3. Arbit email nomination:  

President hopefuls,

 There is a chance for you guys get the majority on your side. You guys can tap a dedicated vote bank [A vote bank for which GND is the only issue .. other issues dont even matter. Btw I have my savings account with this bank.].

 I know atleast 80 More guys [More departmental store guys] who are in support of GND  , but could not so take your pick. [I took census to see who all had sent to you and who all hadnt and I can prove that I am statistically right but factually wrong]

 4. Arbit usage of "Reply to All"

"Oh Shit! I forgot. [and hit the "Reply to all" instead of "Reply"] I am back in my room [now the laziness angle is introduced]. Sorry I couldn't make it. [Decide first: forgot or couldnt make it] And happy birthday!


5. A mail on HBS short story was sent to Student_General. Reply received on that:

"This is b-school and we are grown up. Not little johnnies. [Yesterday we had President - Swatantra Naari give her comments on unbiased gender campaigning. So Jillies must also find their name here] We got to come out of that mindset. The below article talks about child development. " [Oh I read only 4 lines. If I read it full I would know the correct facts]

YOU ALL MUST BE FEELING BAD THAT I DIDNT STAND FOR GSB PRESIDENT. NO PROBLEM GUYS AND GALS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE A OPTION NO. 25 ON BALLOT PAPER AND WRITE MY NAME AND TICK AGAINST IT :)
