Bschooled - #episode1 – Enter Joey
Enter ‘Joey Happy go Lucky’ !!! Joey is your regular happy go lucky 20 something guy. He spends 20 hours a day building wishful skyscrapers in his head. And when he runs out of brain matter, he hits the sack. Anyhow, the thing about Joey and many like him is that, he loves drama. Not the regular everyday mundane drama, but the ‘American Tele’ kind of drama. Back in school when one of his co-conspirers tattled and gave away the ‘class bunk’ plan (oh yeah….. prisoner’s dilemma) his mum asked him, “Tell me the truth…why did you do this??” To which the reply was, “YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH”. Even though the next 20 mins were spent trying to avoid yet another hand imprint on his behind, he was happy about his dramatized answer (score – Joey: 4 Mum:3426) . He believes that everything happens for a reason. His keen interest in LOTR and all the prophecy filled tales has him believe that destiny, not science, is the reason for every iota in history and calamities. He even has a well articulated fable, that would put LOTR and POTTER to shame, of how the sperm that made him, was the ‘CHOSEN’ one.
Now then, a few months back Joey did what many around him were doing, he applied to a b school. To his surprise, and more to the surprise of those around him, he got through. Even though he was thanking his lucky stars, he had this nonchalant expression on his face that said, “I wasn’t even serious about the application”. Joey was flying high, his pride, on a blimp powered by a 1000 party balloons, sailing somewhere in the stratosphere. Anyhow, Joey was quietly confident of making it big at B school. His incentive was a vision of an Armani clad self switching fast cars, at a frequency greater than that of the fickleness of his own mind (pssst… Joey can’t drive; but, imagination doesn’t need a license.)
So, let’s get down to brass tacks!! While all of (almost all) of Joey’s soon to be college mates were mulling over their soon to be ‘modus operandi’, Joey was laying on his bean bag with ‘thought bubbling’ ‘Armani Black with bow tie versus Armani Black sans bow tie’ and ‘BMW versus BMW with a sun roof’. While the rest were deeply contemplating their revised soon to be MO, Joey was play acting the 2 possible scenarios a. Joey Shawshanks his way out of B school b. Joey becomes the Optimus Prime of Bschool.
So what did become of Joey?? Was he bschooled?? Did his blimp fly high or did the balloons go pop-a-pop-a-pop????
More to follow.
