The term that was

Prof. Gandhi responding to a CP on the depreciation of assets:

SG: "The man has died and is on his way to the mortuary and you want to give him a birthday gift?"

Prof. Dutta on a suggestion that we should call people to collect data on AIDS:

GD: "So, how will that be? (mock tone) Hello! I am calling from the Indian Insitute of Management, Ahmedabad. Are you infected with AIDS?"

Prof. Subhashini Kaul on "Hum"

DamRu: Ma'am we decided that....

SK: Who is 'we' ?

DamRu: Ma'am we as in our group..

SK: Oh. I thought it was the royal "WE".

Prof. Subhashini Kaul on the section's improvement.

SK: Sigh. After all this analysis and stuff you guys have not reached home. Yes, some of you have reached home but have jumped in through the window.

Prof. Sarin: So, what would you give your girlfriend - cash or gift?

Student: As an economist, I would give her cash.

AS: No wonder you have an ex!

(Apologizes and then explains the concept)

AS:...which is why as an economist, you should give her a gift instead of cash. It pays to know your girl's indifference curves. (Giggles all around)

AS: No no. I mean, you should know where her optimum point lies. Let me clear that up before Deepak starts smiling again!

But, this blog would like to give the "Best cold-call response award" to Deepak Iyer.

Prof. Madhavan: So, Deepak! What do we mean by 'understanding'?

Deepak (in all earnest): Sir...., Bihari Lal's quote?

As "Jyo Jyo doobe shyam rang" plays out in your mind, the first term at WIMWI comes to a close. All the best for the endterms!

(P.S: All of you can stand up and clap now, if you feel like it.)
