Unmaad - the tenth emotion

So why on earth, is Unmaad the tenth emotion?

As most people in IIM interviews would say, the bravado at IIM is here to innovate, and innovate they will. Nonetheless, I don't believe that there is a tenth emotion. What there is, really is a certain mix of all these emotions, and the marketing-savvy PubCommers at Culcom are really branding this as a fresh one. Sample this, for instance.

Courage - what the guys at IIMB actually gather so that they can show a "Home Team" in all events despite the terrible schedule.

Pity - of the DOSA (Dept. of Spectators and Audience) at the poor wannabe culcommers who have graciously volunteered for a resume point.

Fear - of the vols and of lesser culcommers of incurring Jiddu's wrath

Anger - When one of the vols shows absolute ignorance to one of the guys carrying walkie-talkies - and the latter is left clueless

Sorrow - I really don't know what to put here, the only place you'd see sorrow in Unmaad is when drunken guys go all senti after the L^2

Happiness - when Unmaad finally ends and Culcommers can direct their slogging energies either towards placements or mid-terms.

Wonder - that Unmaad has actually happened, despite everything the DOSA guys said.

Disgust - of yours truly at having written the first of a series of "1 posts"

Serenity - when people like yours truly are done for the day and have nothing better to do than sleep

There you go. There's your tenth emotion.
