Blitzkrieg - "A headline word applied retrospectively to describe a military doctrine of an all-mechanized force concentrating its attack on a small section of the enemy front then, once the latter is broken, proceeding without regard to its flank."
Thanks to Wikipedia for this insight. The ultimate source of all our assignments and projects.
Well I won't be taking you back to the blood-bath of any German invasion. What I intend to do here is describe another such battle; a battle of managers, a battle of b-schools, a battle to prove one's acuminous mettle. Its Blitzkrieg(Blitz); the coveted inter B-school fest of IBS-Gurgaon.
Statutory Warning: This post will be limited to the "make-up" of our college walls using posters and other such similar elements. It is not the complete description of the fest itself.
The excitement and zeal can be felt all over the campus with multi coloured posters embracing the walls. The very first sight one comes across while entering the campus is that of a long black banner with "Blitzkrieg-09" pasted on it with silver letters. It seems much like the parachute of a paratrooper who just crash landed on our college building. That's not all, there is a lot more to be seen ahead. Lets unfold this mystery................
The first and foremost paper figure I came across was that of a headless "Corporate Assassin" wearing a black suit and holding a blood stained knife in the right hand. It pretty much seems as if our "Corporate Assassin" was enraged and motivated enough to show his skills(with the knife, that is.....) and decapitated himself.
The most prominent type of charts I came across were cut in the shape of hand. Many such "baby and mummy" hands can be seen all around the campus. Blitzkrieg 09 seems more like a campaign being run by the "always power seeking" Congress party. Nevertheless, the amount of effort put into making these hands must have made real hands pain. Never had these artists thought that the innovative minds at IBS-G could turn pernicious for their "handmade hands" by trying to close all fingers but one, much like the gesture shown by Greg Chappell to Kolkata cricket fans.
A place in all the classrooms is well known for bringing us injurious news such as assignments, projects, evaluation marks. This infamous place is a square shaped class noticeboard which reminds me of the Tiananmen Square - both signify a massacre in one way or the other. The look of the noticeboard was adorned and complimented by a poster carrying skull on it(this poster marks the launch of Blitz).
As I was writing this post something on the table caught my eye. It was an Airtel Broadband bill(Bah......they never forget to send it) carrying a small proclamation: "Say NO to paper bills. Save paper, save trees". Had this message aired at our campus, a whole family of trees could have been saved..............my apologies for hijacking the topic. Lets get back to it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paper figures of gun wielding soldiers can be seen all around the campus ready to fire at you at the blink of an eye. Looks pretty much like a SWAT operation in progress. Well, we do need such a SWAT operation at our campus owing to the kidnapper-hostage situation we are subjected to by our faculties.
Sometimes, by chance, things represent something which was never intended but is true to the core. A poster of Inve$tomania(an event where people obsessed with investments and stocks come and play) at our canteen pretty much signifies the state of the US Economy as the "$" in the name of the event can be seen waggling and dropping.
The SPARTANS club at IBS-G chose such an appropriate place to make their presence felt that it coincides perfectly with the famous dialogue from the movie "300" - our college canteen..................."Tonight we dine in hell".
Well, that said and done, I suppose I have played my role of being a Super-Critic pretty well here. No matter what parodies I've suggested here, the work accomplished by the hard working future managers is commendable. They have infused life by their colours and never ending spirits at IBS-G. Kudos to all!!!!!!!!!
