Oye Hoye Kudiyaan JMC Diyan

Jesus And Mary College. The college hundreds would kill to be a part of. But have you ever wondered what lies beyond that golden gate? What being a part of this prestigious student body truly feels like? As a part of the college, I guarantee nothing you have heard has done us justice. Step across those gates of hopes and dreams and lo and behold, what do you find? Ladkiyan, ladkiyan and wait for it, some more ladkiyan. JMC truly broadens your horizons...in your study of womanhood.

Classroom scene:

Everyone (in unison): Goodmorrrning ma'am

The teacher: Okay 'GIRLS' please take out your books

The 'GIRLS': Yeh kahaa agaye humm (8)

A year into college and it seems like you have progressed to the next echelon of femininity. This gyaan allows you to distinguish one female species from another in just a glance. So without further adieu, let me introduce you to the variety of kudiyan JMC has to offer:

1. The sports students

These are the girls everyone in college is envious of. They have the liberty to waltz into class a few minutes before the period ends and demand attendance. Meanwhile, the rest of us struggle to make it through those torturous 55 minute classes for our second of glory when we yell out 'present ma'am.'

2. Gucci di ainak lave, Prada di jeans pave

Being prim and proper and branded from head to toe is the forte of these JMC-ites. It could be snowing, there could be an avalanche or it could be 6.30 in the morning, no matter what, these girls never disappoint. You will always see them done up in their very best, anything less, then ring out the sirens, the fashion police has to be alerted.

3. The crackberrys

They come to college but aren't really there, they sit in class but haven't heard a word throughout, you see them amble down the corridor unaware of where they are heading and who they are bumping into on the way. They are lost in that 4X2 inch device which seems to be surgically attached to their arms. Intrigued as to what keeps them that engrossed? It's their freeway access to get minute by minute updates about their jaani’s whereabouts.

4. The shutterbugs/Facebook addicts

This group of girls can be easily spotted from a distance. How? Search for a group of yappy, high pitched girls and amongst them you shall unearth one armed with a camera taking either so called 'candid' photos of the group or a self portrait. 'Sirf like mat karna, comment bhi karna okay?'

5. The blasé lot

As the title suggests, this specimen's last priority is their appearance and they put our Gucci-Prada girls to shame. They roll out of bed and enter class precisely 15 minutes late everyday in the clothes they slept in. With unruly hair, the last row is their niche where they appear to be perpetually zoned out.

6. JMC's very own Gossip Girls

They wait around, alert as a hawk for someone's, anyone's life to take a dramatic turn. Masala- their daily dose of caffeine which keeps them going.

7. Chee! Look at her. Eww.

They could be anywhere, next to you in the canteen, secretly eyeing you in class or behind a tree with a pair of binoculars. Their job is to critically analyze every girl who walks by, her shoes, her accent, her hair, anything and everything!

8. The challengers

This group does not fail to challenge any point raised in class. Like the doomed spaceship, till the going is good, its smooth sailing, the minute something goes wrong they explode and transform into something unrecognizable.

  3. This is so embarrassing!! If the organizing committee has no brains please dont portray the entire college community like that. If you want a GREAT TURNOUT(which i assume you do hence the desperateness of being so shallow) THAN MAKE A GREAT SHOW SO THAT PEOPLE COME. DONT ADVERTISE GIRLS AS OBJECTS!! We are not all BIMBOS who disown others who are not nice to look or cant afford a PRADA OR GUCCI. This is all NEGATIVE PUBLICITY. This is a shame!!

    1. This is in response to the previous post and to all others who share a similar viewpoint towards to this post.

      We apologise if we offended you in any way but the post was in good humor.We have just tried to bring to light the different personalities JMC is home to. Contrary to your belief, we have not objectified any girl in college, you in fact are stereotyping us by saying we only associate ourselves with brands. We wouldn't demean our college with connotations such as bimbos especially on a public forum. In addition to this , the true spirit of the post was to recognise the differences in people and how each is special in their way.

      Thank you for your viewpoint though.

  4. Oh My God!

    As a proud alumni, I LOVE this post. It brings back such fond memories of the moments I spent on campus. Reading through each of the 8 categories, I kept on trying to include myself in some. I think I am the shutterbugs type :) I wanted to get myself clicked in each corner of the college, with each darling friend of mine.

    This blog is an awesome exercise. Particularly this post, which reflects the sportiness, the spunk and the humor we all carry in our hearts. I laugh way too often on my obese and extra sentimental self. Makes me happier, makes others happier in my presence too.

    We our what we our! We love ourselves, we smile at ourselves and we've just the awesomest people around. Cheers!

  13. SEE THIS IS THE KIND OF CROWD YOU ARE ATTRACTING WITH THESE POSTS. THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN ATTRACTING SUCH LECHEROUS PEOPLE.

    This is so embarrassing. I ashamed to be surrounded by such blatant opportunism. The spirit of JMC is dead!

    1. Thank you for your viewpoint.

      We respectfully disagree with you referring to us as blatant opportunists. This post reflects upon the diversity of JMC, the range of personalities we are surrounded by is not something to be embarrassed about. We should be proud of being unique, of being one in the crowd and of standing out for who we truly are and not what society deems as embarrassing.
