Day 482:18th Jan, 2011 - Kronos is here!

The day started with the usual FRA class. What followed though was not so usual. Motivated by AdiJ's prior condition to have me as a disciple, I read up a little bit of fin (1.5 years late, but better than never). Was fun actually, and surprisingly, I did know quite a bit of it ;-)

Had the Brand Management class in the afternoon. Now that is one super fantastic prof - personally, the best we have had till now. Normally, I have a complete blackout 5min into the lecture, but this I have been able to hear for the entire 90min. Great stuff!

A batchmate and member of Team SynapsE has come up with this new portal - Kronos. And true to what it claimed in the teaser, it is going to change the way people live at helL! It is a fantastic shared calendar. Something that you see and wonder why it hadn't been done before! Hats off!

Just got back after celebrating TG's birthday. As last year, he got hyper, had a big chase with Pachpan and somewhere in between threw cake on my jacket :-S . But man, he did get some awesome beating! Thanks to a new weapon of mass destruction that has been recently discovered - Shomo's chappals!

Day 463:30th Dec, 2010 - Load them HDDs!

It is that time of the year when PGP2s suddenly start realizing the one thing they will really miss post campus - DC++ ! Indeed, we would not have count of the number of times when this little piece of software comes handy when one is looking for - anything! Be it movies, sitcoms, academic material (The 'catchXX' tradition!) and well .. other stuff too :-p . DC++ has helped make heroes, the ones who are always there online, taking the load of most sharing (almost like the 80:20 rule), our hero being abracadabra. And to ensure I don't miss any of the treasure behind, I had purchased two 1-terabyte HDDs. In my super zeal to fill it up, a couple of days back, I randomly selected a user and endlessly added tonnes of stuff to download. And then realized I got some really bad speed from that user. And since I had added so much stuff to download, my DC would hang every time I clicked on the 'download queue'. Finally, 2 days and some 35 odd GB of download later, some stability has come back to my DC. All I can say is - let the party begin!

Speaking of parties, I had one for Sud's birthday - so 6 of us (Sud, Ghate, Justice, AdiJ, Bugger and me) went for dinner to Cellar. Some good food and lots of cheese. 

Had a sudden and unplanned but super splendid night out with Shanky and Chatur! One of my best ones. Two movies - Ip Man 1 and 2 and one ultra-hilarious music video :D . Just awesome. And then came back to my room to even finish off Notting Hill. That's one more movie than one can watch often :) . Not too sleepy even now, but I think it's a good decision to end the day on this nice note :) [at 5.30 am :D]

Day 462:29th Dec, 2010

Same old morning getting inundated with lectures. Seems like we also had to submit an initial proposal document for our FRA project. So sat around working on that for some time. Seems like a long time since I did anything like that. Finished that just in time to land up for the batch meet by Pcom - a small little "expectation setting" purpose. Poor guys, they really have to slog!

Went around to Dham's room later to get some feedback. Hope I get the chance to apply it too in the near future. Then went off to celebrate the birthdays of Sud and Sarin. The latter involved a couple of more "innovative" "celebrations" with Pappa employing his creativity to make a really gross 'maggi mix'! And what was even more creepy was that Sarin used that to wipe off the PINK cake off his face! :-S Eeeks!

Day 461:28th Dec, 2010

Oops, that one day of TT has left me with a nagging body ache.

Anyways, Pachpan came back to campus today (temporarily - he seems to be planning to live this term outside). And with him, came back the zealous pursuit of kiddish nonsense. The seeds though were (for a change) sown by MMR, who concocted one absolutely news piece of "information" about me. I had no intentions to have any stand on that, and that didn't help their cause (unless their cause was exclusively about fun). Even roping in Haathi, they went to confront Chatur. After a lot of data mining, finally they found something which eventually turned out to be absolutely out of context anyways. But yes, they did end up having a ball.

I spent a good bit of the evening arranging a gift for my Dad's birthday tomorrow. Somehow, I could not buy a greeting card, and even getting one now would not ensure it would reach home on time. So I spent some time researching other options. A little after going through the standard options of flowers and cakes, I came across a more innovative and hatke gifting idea. Promptly spent some time creating a collage of the (extremely limited) pics that I had; did manage to create a decent one though :) Felt good!

Went pretty late to the mess for dinner, but surprisingly, it was actually - hold your breath - good today! Simple but tasty food, with some nice kheer at the end for desserts. MessComm, why can't we have this everyday!

I skipped night mess thinking I'll retire to bed early. But as usual, reading random blogs have kept me awake for a lot of time. And a nice 1 hour long call with a close friend to end the day on a nice note :-)

Day 397: 19th Oct, 2010 - Bash-ed!

Now this is what is providence. My birthday fell right in the midst of my exams, but luckily for me, not one paper today! :D . But that has its own downsides. The task of meeting the company guys who had come down for the Summers process fell on me :-P . Saala I didn't even have proper beginner's luck; had to wait 2.5 hours for a less than 1 min talk :-)

In spite of the thousand hints dropping by (new t-shirt, phone calls at 12 midnight and many during the day), people around me didn't realize my birthday :D . And of course, I wasn't going to remind anybody of that. Also, definitely wasn't going to dine in the mess. Therefore, I got a super-duper Chocolate Fantasy and panipuri, that too after navigating through some random pathways (thanks to the dug-up-everywhere roads).

However, things were set to change. Had almost dodged everybody through the day, but suddenly there came this one call indicating a trojan. Seemed like the cat was out of the bag :-S . Some more info-hunting revealed the source of the whole plan to be closer around than expected :-| . "Chatur,  you will pay for this :-) "

Now of course, no time was wasted in making all necessary arrangements for the "bash", including jugaadofying enough number of people. And as last year, my birthday seems to be inspiring creativity in celebrations. Introducing a potent new weapon: ATTA (flour!). Add to that all the usual ingredients - sauce, mayo, cake, pepsi, etc. - and you can imagine the awesome-looking and brilliant-smelling concoction! Of course, the biggest highlight of the massacre - I didn't shout / cry even one single time :-)

Day 396: 18th Oct, 2010 - Why's the blog private?!

CBM paper today. A typical fin paper. One where you look at the practice examples and feel all confident that you are going to 'crack it'. And then, the tryst with reality where a minor twist in the question brings your dream down like a pack of cards :D

The paper was in the noon. I had missed my lunch as I had squeezed in the 5 minutes I had spared, to complete some formalities required for opening my demat account. So I was quite hungry after the paper and had a samosa and Amul Kool and came back to my room. But very soon, the news started pouring in from all quarters that awesome burgers were being available in the mess! Now when words of praise start coming from stark opponents of the mess, there obviously was a strong urgency to get the burger, lest it runs out. Of in spite of not being very hungry, I went to the mess. Met Chatur there, and had a mini spicmacay/music discussion. Then walked to the main gate ATM, as I wanted to test if my SBI card was working (yes!). Took a small shortcut walk around the campus, and then made my way back to the mess to take extra burgers back as parcel for Pachpan & Kisaan. The only person who didn't like the gesture seems to be Vanki; competition for his "restaurant" you see! ;-)

The saga of eating out continues! Today, on Vanki's request, we (also Pachpan + Kisaan) made our way to the no-longer-jinxed Brij-ki-rasoi. The highlight was Vanki's super-awesome hindi usage at one point. He actually used the word "yadi" in a sentence rather than the commonplace "agar"! I really wonder where he heard that word in the first place. And as for food, we had a quick, tasty and typical dinner - Rajma for Vanki, aaloo for Pachpan and one standard Paneer dish.

Pssst. It's my birthday now :-) . But nobody knows ;-) . I don't want external sources to provide this data, and so am off the social radar. No etrigan, no facebook, and hence, no blog :-p . Lots of calls from outside IIML though. Had a Skype chat with my folks at home. They cut a cake in my name! :-) . No wonder I love technology!

Day 373: 25th Sep, 2010

Our dear wingie Shomo's birthday last night had an extra element of discomfort - a bucket of water. Blame Pachpan for starting all these wrong trends, especially at wrong moments :-X . Three rounds of assault, followed by the cake smear (a nice heart shaped cake!), followed by a march to the mess, and of course another round from the animals there :P . Even after all this though, I still managed to wake up pretty early - 9 am for a 12.30 pm class! The tough part though is deciding what to do with the extra time (unnecessarily) created. I decided to be a little productive and actually went and had breakfast. Unfortunately for me, it was pretty sad today!

Encountered yet another super example of arbitrary pricing in a Servicing Model. Went to this bag seller to get the chain mended on my laptop bag. He randomly quoted 100/- as charges! I just told him that only a day ago I had enquired at his shop and was informed the cost would be 50/. And lo and behold, his price dropped by 50%. And am pretty sure, even on that, he must be making 80% profit (at least!).

Don't know whether the net and the LAN must be considered a boon or a bane. Boon because, thanks to them, we spend all our free time watching movies. Bane because, thanks to them, we spend all our free time watching movies! Anyways, without getting into the judgemental aspect, I would just say Chatur, me & Vanki caught up with a movie called 'Se7en'. Interesting thriller, it's based on serial killers :D . Now, who doesn't like them! Hehe :D

In The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare aptly captures the protagonist's anxiety with the words - "your mind is tossing on the ocean,..". Well, let me just wish some good luck to a friend, who's probably feeling these words right now...

Day 355: 31st Aug, 2010

Just when we all thought 2nd year exams are chill (at least those of us who didn't have CorVal had rights to harbour such thoughts), came along this sinister paper to mock at us all. The only thing I can be confident about is the few numbers that I had taken apriori on the textbook :-P

MadMan as usual lived up to his name. Today suddenly we realised the dude hadn't booked a ticket home because he had other "plans". Yeah, right! Thanks mainly to Pachpan's drive and my resourcefulness, we did manage to cost-effectively route him to where he should belong!

Celebrated BigGuy's birthday, a day earlier since most of us are leaving in the day tomorrow. We had a guest today for celebrations - Chote. And let the name not fool you, the hardest hits (by far!) came from him! Anyways, lucky for him, some hard hitting batsmen weren't there today. Anyways, the dude is set in for a separate dose from the Tam Gang. Ah, being the president of such a community, sometimes it is not just your shoulders where you feel the pressure :-P

Day 350: 26th Aug, 2010

Exams from today - though I don't have any :D . Read a lot of arbit blogs. Absorbed some arbit gyaan. Pity none of that will be useful tomorrow. But when has that bothered me? :)

Played bridge after many days! Came back before midnight to hit Kisaan. (his b'day, obviously). Poor guy got beaten an extra time - thanks to a slightly high Tiwari. Followed of course by one session in the hostel and then one from INDEX. Highlight being Body-builder's kick. Saala no follow through, but one super shot :-| . Need to get him banned before my birthday! :-|

Days 344,345: 20th-21st Aug, 2010

Shared responsibility is nobody's responsibility. Now that Pachpan ran off to his hometown, his ditching act inadvertently put the workload of getting the surveys filled on me; but I at least I knew I was to do it. That was my biggest incentive to go to Friday's prom strat lecture - got the surveys filled through my friends in class :D . Of course, equally troublesome was the part where I had to manually feed in the hard copy replies into excel. And bored of having the work pending against my name, I came up with an "innovative" solution for the problem ;-)

After I came back from my dinner, birthday-boy-Bala came and told us that we are going out :-S . Apparently Shomu's persuasion. We (expanded to Ritzee, Kisaan, Vanki, TG for the free food) went to Genesis, highlight being we managed to jugaadofy one car! Didn't eat much, kept nibbling on the Peanut Masala. Had the choco-chip icecream for dessert - its awesome !

But, that wasn't the end to the day. Came to know that iBrand'10 was witnessing unprecedented enthusiasm :D . Excess of anything of course, brings its own set of interesting and unique experiences :D . My room has suddenly become the discussion hub :-| . Consequently, even as I tried working on some projects, facchas kept coming and discussions kept happening.

Finally, found my peace at 3am. A knock on my door at 7am (actually it was a violent push and a loud shout) interrupted my dreams. Realised it was two of our facchas. Poor fellows had stayed up through the night :D . Nice practice for INDEX I say! ;-) . Went with them to the mess and stayed there for a couple of hours, had breakfast and slept off again.

Spent the afternoon mainly trying to come up with something substantial for this inter B-school competition - iCreate. Didn't really manage to do much, so dropped it halfway. 

Had missed going to Lafangey Parindey yesterday; and not wanting to delay it any further, we made arrangements to go tonight. That got interrupted through some nice negotiation practice. Anyways, dealt with that (or so we thought) and we left for the movie. Wow, again in a car! :D . Sudden rise in status over the past 2 days :D . Or is it because Pachpan isn't here? :P . Some more interventions during the movie (sorry Deepika!) happened, but finally reached one acceptable-to-all conclusion. Peacefully saw the rest of the movie.

Came back to see my room wide open. Saala once again full kabzaa by everyone. Quickly, some little analysis and explanations and then sabko bhaga diya :-P . Sat down to start work on my Strat Man part. Too tired now though. Put it off for tomorrow morning. So long, for now, its bon nuit.

Day 292: 28th Jun, 2010

Lots of classes today! Attended Barood's NVP session, then the session on Retail Mark, the Strat Man session and an Int Fin extra class. The Int Fin class was particularly interesting. Shruti was sitting with Pachpan's best friend - Mr. Khadiya :D . Anyways, as the class started, Khadiya left to the sit with Sudeep in the adjacent row and Pachpan shifted ahead. And then began the exchanging of love notes between the two :D . Kids man these MBA grads are :-P

Went to Barbeque Nation :-D .. Chatur and Psycho's treat! Had a real nice time out there. Cursed the mad man initially for delaying the outing :-p And of course, the brilliant tashan shown by him towards Shanky for lifting off the helmet :D . Vanki saala is still refusing to acknowledge 'the secret'. Need to get the cat out of the bag. Of course, even he couldn't stop blushing when his alleged date walked in to the table right next to us :D , and that too along with someone who owes his establishment a good sum of money :-P . And yes, I lived right up to my sweet tooth reputation by having around 10 angoori gulabjamuns, dipped in ice cream :D

Had an english play by Abhivyakti - the theatre group on campus. The play was crafted around a mystery, and although I couldn't see the whole of it, whatever I saw was pretty nice.

Day 288: 24th Jun, 2010

So Pachpan decided to remain all rolled up in his bed, banking on a proxy for his first class. I had already refused to do this (seriously, no giving/taking proxy from/for me) and therefore the focus was shifted to Vanki. At the last moment, he felt it was not possible. And it was fun (a little sadistic :-p) to see Pachpan's reaction at this discovery in the next class :-p

Spent 3 whole hours in the afternoon getting the INDEX room cleaned. Was a major cleaning exercise. Disposed off a whole lot of old redundant stuff ! The room looks super spacious now. And eerily clean :-p

We had our team building class in the evening today as we were supposed to have an outdoor activity. And man, what an activity it turned out to be. Basically, we were divided into teams and each of us had to go from A to B WITHOUT any member's feet touching the ground. Before you start imagining us doing Rajnikanth or Mithun da level stunts, let me tell you our modus operandi. We all had a limited number of thermocols, newspapers, etc. and we make our way by stepping on these. Now, if you can imagine this happening, the first person bends a little, puts something ahead, steps on it. Everyone in the middle just take a step ahead and pass the sheet coming from the back to the front. But the last person has to completely bend after every step, reach out and pick the material left behind and pass it ahead. So you can imagine - for 200 odd steps in our path - that person had to do some 200 quick and successive sit-ups along with other movements. I guess by now you would have understood I was the last person in my team. And in short - totally lagg gayi !

But the post-activity analysis had 2 useful things that I came across:

1. For all members of a team to give their best, there has to be a strong sense of a Common Purpose.

2. It is very essential (and practically quite difficult) to identify the weak link (may be a person, activity, process anything) and give it support.

Had the presentations today in the induction. They sure are fun :D 

Also celebrated the mad man's birthday. The fellow got bashed up, but I guess still much less than what he does :-p . 

Day 285: 21st Jun, 2010

So we had our Retail Mark presentation in the first lecture of the day. I have been super busy with some INDEX work and had no time for playing any part in the making of the ppt. But as my luck with presentations go, I ended up being the introductory speaker on ours :-| .. Used to it by now though :-p

All the students (and for now, quite a few parents) are on campus. And presently, the mess is in a terrible mess. No place to eat, i.e. if there is food left to eat, i.e. if at all you can manage to call it "food" :-|

Celebrated Chatur's bday at midnight. God alone knows why she suddenly became psycho-ish, started chasing us with the sauce bottle in hand. Woh bhi chappal nikaalke :-O . My new unbreakable specs had it's first test. Fortunately, it lived up to it :D

Day 269: 30th Mar, 2010

Wrote a loooooong MIS paper today. Must admit it was an interesting open book exam; you had to do your bit of work to get the answer required.

Since most of INDEX core is leaving early tomorrow, we had a pizza session in the INDEX room. Finally got Vanki (or rather Saurabh :-p) to come out with the little secret :D

Last paper tomorrow - HRM. It must suffer being the casualty that the last paper turns out to be. Even more so considering it is the last paper of PGP1! Am not studying anything at all! Even went to the mess twice - once for celebrating Venkkatessan's and Bugger's birthdays (badly beaten!) and then once again to meet Dhamdhere and Maanas. It's now almost 4 and I have kinda yet to start. Am going to pull an all-nighter today (rather tonight). Have invested in a Red Bull to keep me awake through the paper tomorrow :D

Day 207: 27th Jan, 2010

A relatively mellow day only turned out to be an antithetical beginning to the night. Today saw one of the craziest acts our wing has seen (in close competition to Dixit's tantrums on spotting a lizard 2 billion light years away).

Started off pretty simple - I was lost in yet another episode of LOST when Dixit and KK walked into my room, for some usual tp. To cut out another long story, I'll just say Dixit took my bottle of water on purpose to provoke me, and I responded :-p . I responded by taking all the bottles of water I could lay my hands on and pouring/splashing it on Dixit. Unfortunately, Dixit chose to run into KK's room and poor KK had to pay the price as the whole drama unfolded there!

Went on to celebrate SKD and ADJ's birthdays. SKD had already been handed a warm up greet by his Manfester friends. ADJ was the more untraceable one, until the INDEX ops guy (me!) decided to take things (in this case, ADJ's neck) into his hands - literally tracked him down at some hidden lane on campus and brought him to GnB :D . Of course, that was followed by the customary celebrations. Again, shared responsibility eventually became no one's responsibility - and we had to make-do with a sandwich cake.

Today also saw two of my friends Pindyck and Yogs clear their CFA exams. So the celebrations were extended to include them as well :D . At one point of time, Yogs came charging like a raging bull to butt his sauce-laden head right into Pindyck's tummy, leaving a nice impression :D

Days 176,177: 21st-22nd Dec, 2009

The 48 hour day

It all started off nice and fine. This Monday was scheduled to cover up Saturday's timetable, but we had already had extra lecs so the day was free for us. Thus began the lazy start, waking up late, being lethargic and so on. Some semblance of the end term starting from tomorrow started creeping into me and I thought I'll start studying.

But it just so happened that Soumen called and asked me to come to the SME Conclave held by Abhiyan. And I did that. Mainly because I know the kind of effort that goes into organising such things. The conclave had some pretty big names and I guess we both would have liked to see greater numbers, but then, a start is a start.

Finally started with QAM late evening. And this is what sowed the seeds for the 48 hour journey. Called up my personal tutor for QAM - Sarin; he was himself studying up on something and he would teach me after that. So I was left with time for myself. Now you might be wondering why I was not studying by myself. As I have noted earlier, if our QAM prof dedicated even quarter the time he spends cracking silly jokes to making better reading material, life would be simpler. But then he didn't. And I didn't have any nice notes at my end. So I was stuck. Spent that time brushing up on whatever I had learnt for quizzes.

Went for an early dinner. Had badam milk :D . (wanted to highlight this better part of time :-p)

And then went to Joshin's room to study. Boy ! these FPM people sure are pampered a lot ! Stipend, multi room quarters. personal bathroom and even a balcony ! There was a nice big bed there and I don't know if it was the bed or the subject, but I was big time sleepy. With great difficulty, learnt a few concepts.

I guess the real struggle started when I came back to my room. Probably the disastrous consequences of such a soporific attitude triggered my subconscious brain (especially since the paper was at 9.30 am, so no time to prepare in the morning). I was sleepy no more. Struggled through the night, barely sleeping for an hour while trying to increase the breadth of syllabus I had seen atleast once.

Maintaining my real world attitude, won't speak much about the paper even here. Suffice to say this was nowhere close to the golden era of QAM-I.

Oh, and btw, the stupidest thing that I did was not related to the paper. I wore just a t-shirt to the exam hall. And it turned out to be quite chilly even in the afternoon. I would say I struggled more against the cold than the problems, but that's pretty debatable ;-) . High priority task during lunch was to wear a sweatshirt before the next exam.

Next exam? Ah well, I don't blame you for not understanding this yet, but we actually had two papers. MM as well. Now this was again an open-book exam for us and thus my Kotler still remains unopened. Majorly because the midterm results clearly indicated what mattered more was the imprompto evaluation of the case rather than quoting some non-contextual age old structure/principle.

The funny thing that happened was I fell asleep as soon as I got the MM case booklet. I mean, I hadn't slept the previous day and wasn't really sleepy even while I sat down in the exam hall and wrote my name, roll no. etc. But somehow, when I started reading the case, it was almost as if Mike Tyson had knocked me out. The 15-20 min sleep did a lot of good though. I was pretty fresh after that. But still, writing reams and reams of material is not my forte. With great difficulty, I managed to fill seven sides of the booklet. I just don't know how people can write more, especially when it was well proven that length is no criterion for marks.

Anyways, have OM tomorrow. Comparatively chilled out subject. (Does it justify the time I spent playing TT in the evening?) Also indulged in celebrating Naveen and Sarangi's bday in the INDEX room.

Now I hope to catch up on some good night's sleep. Need to stock up my sleep reserves. Have eco the day after!

Day 118: 24th Oct, 2009

Had free time in the afternoon today. So gave a pizza lunch party as my birthday treat. Sud went one step beyond Soumen's birthday treat; she didn't even get that aloo paratha this time, courtesy her great phone which remained perennially out of contact.

Talking of communication failure, a major breakdown has happened to the internet facility to hostels 1-8. Seems like some major fibre optic cable has broken down during some construction work. And it is times like these when we are reminded that IIMs are government institutions - it is going to take 4 days for the thing to get repaired :(

Day 107: 13th Oct, 2009

Work really expands to fill all time available. I had to think for just 3 questions for one marketing biggie's HR form and it took up my entire day! INDEX party got cancelled in the process.

Celebrated Kaushik's birthday in the mess. The popular guy that he is, he had 3 groups (INDEX team, section, committee) to celebrate. Our section had got 2 cakes (yea, this time we also got one for eating). He cut one cake and we finished singing the standard song and he was in the middle of saying something when Shantanu slams the entire cake onto his face :D

Days 80,81: 8th-9th Sep, 2009

23:50 hrs. Everyone is neck deep in work. Suddenly Shantanu sends a mail to the class: '2 Birthdays today. Guys come down to the mess in 15min'. Majority junta keep their work aside and more than half of section B is in the mess. After around 5min, everyone is impatient for the cake cutting/smearing ritual. Suddenly, the realisation dawns that no one has ordered the cake! Needless to say, Shantanu became the scapegoat and got his share of bumps. Celebrated with aaloo toast instead.

After a long time missed posting on the blog. The obvious reason is a complete lack of time. The last 2 days have been EXTREMELY busy. A quiz everyday AND project reports AND project presentations AND some INDEX work AND some assignments.

Have been working on the BIO report/presentation since yesterday. Today's entire evening on it as well. It is a funny subject. Working backwards redefined!

BTW, don't you love it when time gets created? confused? Well, had to attend some subject ppt today, but it got cancelled :D .

Oh shit, totally forgot to write about this. A week back the some seniors (most of them) left after their exams. Campus used to look pretty deserted then. Now they are trickling back. Guess the dustbins in the mess need to be replaced by bigger ones.

Day 74: 2nd Sep, 2009

They say, as you sow, so you shall reap. Quite the opposite happened. Yesterday, we made the mistake of forgetting Sankar's bday. But today, we celebrated it with a cake and he had to bear an extra round of kicks :D

Today's OM lecture (which I bunked) was apparently full of CP, with Kaushik majorly doing all the redirection work. All random people throwing in random points and walking away with a few brownie points at the end of the lec.

Back to those late night blogs btw. It is 04:45 hours now. MANAC quiz tomorrow. Trying to put things together. Point is, you feel you have understoof stuff, but then when you try to solve something by yourself and construct a cash flow or something, bamm!.. :-S

Got the timetable for next term. We have 2 classes on Saturday as well :-( . AND an extra fin subject. That should be fun! :-p

Update: it is almost 6 and still stuck in the lib!! It is raining since the last 2 hours, can't go out with the laptop and all! :(
