The distinguishing mark of true adventures, is that it is often no fun at all while they are actually happening.

Skirts industry and Beauty parlour industry

<background>

In my mountaineering course, we were taught “always keep your ears and eyes open”. May be this is the reason, I sometimes have wierd observations. Mumbai friends know few such observations about Mumbai locals, etc. Since last year, I have been trying to collate data to prove my hypothesis on possible selection bias at XLRI. Preliminary data collated from public information available on social networking portals - Orkut/facebook proves my hypothesis.

Today morning was a very silent morning in the campus. This was not because it was 2nd October, but people slept quite late after the cultural event.

<observation> Today skirt wearing junta had suddenly increased. I could never guess the reason why, till Harbir told me possible reason. His reasoning was very much a freakonomic issue/research topic; finding possible correlation between revenues of Beauty parlour industry and Skirt usage. :D


Naakaa

Thanks to my schoolmate Swapnil who introduced me to his friends. These fellows hang out most of the evenings at a corner near Phadke road. Some regularly come while some drop occassionally.

It was in 2003 that I found myself at this place on weekends. Quite some time it had been my sole source of entertainment. We met 1-2 hours in evening, shared our experiences and stories, cracked many jokes, teasing each other (taang khichana) and passing comments on crowd. Passing by junta thought us eve teasers! Who cared of them. What ever these guys appear, they are true from heart. Very much direct and tell you whatever they think about you. I met these guys when I had some bad experience with people – way they behave and way they appear. Ever since then, I am proud to be part of this group – we call ourselves “WE DARE”
