Dontanapalli villager: "What are they building in front of our village?"
Dontanapalli villager no.2: "A huge mental asylum."
Dontanapalli villager: "Why do u say so?"
Dontanapalli villager no. 2: "People will pay 9.5 lakhs to stay here. Yes u heard me right, HERE."
.......A couple of years passed and the under-construction structure turned out to be known as ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad.
Dontanapalli villagers tried hard, and finally got to terms with the fact that their territory had been invaded, permanently. Everything seemed to be normal for some time. But things changed, with the arrival of the Class of 2011, and their Freshers Party.
The Freshers Party: Going with the tradition of IBS Hyderabad, the Stale Batch(seniors) organised a freshers party for the Fresh Batch(juniors). The theme of the event was "Ganstarz". And according to unconfirmed reports, the seniors kept the the British Colonial policy in mind and "divided" the junior batch into different clans(international mafias), and made them compete with each other.
The clan with the highest number of points was to be declared the winner of Gangstarz 2009. And the winner would win NOTHING. Definitely nothing more than a few hugs from the their co-clan members(of the same gender as theirs).
The Catch: Although points were awarded for each and every event, but the highest number of points were to be gained by promoting the clan, mainly through CHEERING, at the top of your voice. This fact had a huge impact on the lives of all clan members, spanning across all clans. People got calls and messages at odd times asking them to come over and "cheer" for their clans. For eg.: "Yes...where are u dude??..POTTY... ok..nevermind, come and cheer for us at the CEO event. Dude, no need to wash...just run!!".
The frienzied "cheering" would cause the whole campus to erupt after every 3 minutes. Dontanapalli villagers were left baffled and scared, both at once. The yells of "D Gang", "Italian Mafia", "Yakuza" etc. thundered their ears day and night. Such was the fear of this sudden burst of yelling, that all mothers of Dontanapalli started warning their naughty little ones by saying: "beta soja..nahin toh yakuza aa jayega".
Was it a Party?: Although the freshers was supposed to be a party, a break from the tedious case studies and boring subjects. But reportedly, this was not the case.
It was observed that the promotion heads of the clans were busy stealing MARKETING strategies of competitor clans. The Section Representatives were busy extorting funds from the clan members, to FINANCE their activities. And various other functional heads of the clans were seen failing miserably in ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOR, because of their huge ego clashes. Further, the treasurers were busy siphoning funds by ACCOUNTING it, in a smart way.
After effects of CHEERING: The Freshers was over. And so was the ability of IBS students to "speak". What was coming out of the mouths of the students, whenever they tried to speak, was nothing but a squeak.
A little distance away, in Donatanapalli, these squeaks sounded more like "a hiss of a snake".
The Rumour: It was alleged that since all clan members had turned into Cheerleaders, discussions were made to provide each Male Cheerleader with a Skirt and a customised Top, by all clans, to add glamour to their respective promotion strategies.
