SOMskriti!

This is a blog dedicated to the fun we had in B-School. We (ok, I) had created some jargons dedicated to some of the habits of my classmates. Some of these were relished by everyone including the person, some were disowned. Since it is free press, I will go ahead and publish it.

1. Agroism – To utter a totally bombastic statement to say a completely banal expression.

Dedicated to our Amit Agrawal, who thought that every one speaks English form sentences out of Barrons GRE word list

2. To do a Ladha – maxxing CP by hogging time

Ashish Ladha unwittingly became the pioneer of a trend in Corp Strat class where people realised that the more time you speak – sense or non-sense – you get marks for CP. I realised he never used it again but the name stuck

3. B***ics – to molest unsuspecting males in the hostel corridor.

I didnt take his permission to publish his name. So you take a guess

4. ‘G’ Limit – the minimum time of continous talking required to know how hollow you are inside

Every MBA has a G-Limit but unfortunately it is name after our Guptaji.

Usage: ‘His G-Limit is very high’
It means that he can bluff his way through for a long time. Only after his G-limit is reached you will know that he was just gassing you all through out. Units: Minutes

5. bite a Biscuit – fall from grace trying to act like a gentleman

it is more like faux paus but with greater intensity.

var: ‘to bite someone’s biscuit’ – being partner in crime but not take the infamy. Has anyone heard of Chetannath Shahdeo

6. XLence – an act with ‘no holds barred’ to protect one’s self interest

7. market – guys, any guesses?? (Also refer to GAC )

8. surdify (v) – to shock someone by pulling out a last moment wonder.

Dedicated to the lone Sardar of our class. if you guessed his grade based on the hours he slept and the carelessness, you will be suridified, Paaji was one of the top-rankers of our class

9. sarvo (v) – to get an undeserved failure

I was shocked to be sarvoed in the basic arithematic test.

Named after Ujju’s sole victim Sarvottam Kumar

10. to do a choudhary – to put inhuman efforts to reach a goal
Choudhary in SOM05 is a dangerous word each denoting a unique meaning representing the likes of Abhijeet, Binny, Durgesh, Suds et al… but this one is dedicated to none other than Chacha Choudhary

If you thought you have achieved human limit of working hard, please check out my neighbour he would have done 3 times more work on it.

11. Anup – living on the edge
No concidence that 10 & 11 are bundled together

12. Nirlay Paradox
It goes to the hall of fame of paradoxes. It describes the gap between theory and practice. About why things dont happen as taught in the books. We are waiting for a book on this paradox ‘What they didnt teach in SJMSOM’

Other related words

13. Gupta Coaching Centre: If you were to give the sum of all the grades, he helped people to achieve, he would have got atleast 180-200 CPI . Long live the King!

14. ‘Akela’ Amitabh Bacchan

15. Sangarsh Samitis

16. I didnt give a word for this incident where the person went and told Dr.Jain that he/she had done ‘real research’. I dont remember the course. Guys , someone help me .
