I’ll try and not keep too much to the ’serious’ focus on XL (you can do a search on yahoo and google and find stuff for that!)
These next few posts are basically for XLers to relive those ‘JLT’ times at XL, and for non-XLers to know the ‘un’official part of XL that go so much into shaping the identity of an XLer.
So how does an XLer pass his/her day?
So now you get the main drift?
Dadu/Niranjan’s is the lovely samosa/ciggy joint that sustains Xlers when the mess does not!
Bishu’s Night Serai- A one stop shop for Maggi, Coffee, Tea, bread masala to get you through the night and those incomprehensible cases !
JLT – The name of the lovely lawn , called Just Like that ! Why? who knows, JLT!
OMAXI- The Old Monks Association of XlrI. The top of the XL social totem pole ! Led by the cheif (in red hood!) and clad in white or blue hoods….yelling “PBC” !
Wet Nights - Contrary to what people think only stands for the wetness of the liquor flowing in the party hosted by OMAXI.
Frax- The Free Riders Association of Xlri. The people who sleep through XL and learn how to be be a burden on others without doing anything
has been converted into both an adjective and a verb e.g. “You frax!” and “I have been fraxing this whole term, so won’t you do my project ?”
GRAX – Gossip and Rumor Association of Xlri. Also translated into a verb “We have been graxing about that RG chap”
RG – Relative Grading, the way you get a D even if you get 80/100 just because the top guy has got 98/100 and nobody has 89/100 ! As is wont, has been converted to a verb e.g. “The topper keeps on doing RG every term” .
Put Sack – to crash to sleep (comes naturally either in class or in your room!)
Put Enthu – What an XLer does when he/she needs to pump up the excitement.
Put Fight – What an XLer does when the end terms or paper submissions are looming large.
GBM - General Body Meeting (alas! Not an orgy yet! ) What XLers do to timepass as a group.
IIMC – The only other management institute in Eastern India with whom XLers have a weird relationship ;-P
Mess Food- The one hate after the previous mentioned item that unites XLers across the generations.
Bodhi Tree – The shady place where XLers have bonded, having DMC (deep meaningful conversations) with other XLers!
The Un-official XL Alumni site
