**it happens
At an EB meeting!
●
The Chiefs arrive 15 minutes early with a cheerful disposition, but the
tempers gradually rise up when it's 15 minutes past the given time, and they
are still waiting to start the meeting.
●
The punctual members come in loud and proud, with their upbeat
gait, getting pats on their backs all along the way.
●
The late comers, greeted with a commensurate death-stare, ask for
permission before entering, and settle in a corner without making eye contact
with anyone.
●
The chatter gives way to silence as the meeting kicks off. The
members who're bubbling with the most ideas are spotted fervently turning
pages of their diaries, and chewing the ends of their pencils in anticipation.
●
After the prepared members have narrated their five of their 15
minute long abstracts, there are the occasional lackadaisical with their
standard excuse, “I thought of some ideas but they already got covered
before”
●
When the Editors get excited with their outrageous design ideas,
they're met with exasperated looks from Designers and Artists alike.
●
A certain controversial idea is thrown around in the meeting. After a
good chuckle and an immediate denial for inclusion in the magazine, ideas
that actually make sense are continued to be discussed.
●
The chiefs let out a disappointed sigh every time Hindi Editors start
their abstracts with the hackneyed “MANIT ka/ke/ki...”
●
When the meeting comes to close, the overly ambitious freshers
heckle the seniors to take them to the most exorbitant eatery around. It
doesn't matter what the occasion is, a placement, a birthday, or new haircut
last week- it's always a good reason for a treat.
Trivia:
EB members have been identified by the WHO for being the most well-
nourished demographic

Organization on charges of self-inflicted bonded slavery.
MENSA has recently approached a few EB members as subjects for
research study on high PIQ (Pseudo-Intellectual Quotient).
