Of dunkings, ADs and drunken orgies

ADs? Huh? What are ADs you say? With people being overwhelmed with so many abbreviations over the last 10 days what with so many clubs/initiatives and all, heres another one I discovered yesterday night.

AD = Arbit Dunking

Dunkings are a long established tradition and form an integral part of life at ISB. Many celebrations end with a dunking in the pool, with a dunk on birthdays being mandatory of course. Section E had one such dunking yesterday, with many people from E and sections as well turning up to wish the birthday girl. To her credit, she was a sport and volunteered to be dunked, THRICE! The birthday girl was followed into the pool by her cousin whos co-incidentally in the same batch.
While this was all well and fine, here is where the fun started. A call went up for her study group, but none were found. And this is where AD comes in. How this works is: Someone (anyone?) shouts a name from the back. If sufficiently popular, the chant goes up, and before the person can even realise whats happening, his belt/shoes/wallet/cell are off and hes being swung by four people till.....................

SPLASH!

P.S., who had become the first victim of AD the last time, was nowhere to be found! The section was apparently so enthu about the whole thing that 2 more people ended up being dunked. Some of those doing the actual swinging/dunking were even found trying to 'network' with the guy they had just dunked without even knowing who it was :P
It was a fun night overall. The presence of 3 cakes ensured that there was enough to go around both for smearing as well as for eating. Some of the dunked guys were later seen trying to get others into the pool (they no longer have anything to lose ;)) as well.

EXTRA CAKE!!!!!!!

All in all a very fun night. On the way back I was informed that a wild boar and even a monkey had been spotted in the student villages. I dont know whether its a part of the 'diversity' thing we have going on here or whether its just a story started by guys to be able to walk girls home :P

This being my first post on the mmx blog, please skip/ignore any errors in convention I may have made. Even better, mail me and let me know about it! Till next time.....

PS: For those looking for stuff on the 'drunken orgies', that was just to get the page hits up :P
