All hail arbit

One of the most commonly used slang terms on campus is the omnipresent “arbit”. Originally from IITs, and carried over to the IIMs by its faithful alumni, the term finds use in almost any statement; ranging from the trivially silly to the profoundly incomprehensible. Just as impressive is the range of meanings it can take on, the hues, the subtleties. Not a day, nay, not a moment, passes without its versatile powers being invoked by junta. Arbit is definitely THE adjective to know. In honour of this principal term, I dedicate a new cateogry.

I’ve decided to update this weblog more frequently than what I’ve accustomed myself to. I’ve finally made up my mind to update this weblog as and when I get time, without bothering about quality for the time being. The truth is that whenever I want to write about something, I keep putting it off for a day when I’ll “get more time” to think and write in detail and depth about it; but one term here has proven that such a day does not exist. And the net present value of words actually written down is always greater than those profound ones that might get syndicated in two months.
