The Chronicles of Decadence

Impact

The wise authors of IIMpressions knew what they were writing when they had described Swapneel as “a person with the best interests of the world at hand”. Indeed, he had the best interests of everyone when he sent this mass mail on Nov 27th 1998

Hi,this is for all those guys who have taken credit cards from Citibank on campus. as far as I remember, those guys had reissued cards during their cyberzone inauguration with the understanding that these would be free from that moment on for a period of 2 years. This was supposed to be irrespective of whether you already had taken the card on campus during PGP1 or you had the card from when you were working.now they have applied annual fees on the credit card. I called them up. they started saying stuff like : you are working now, you have already had 2 free years etc. so we wont waive off the fees. But i happen to know that they have waived the fees for the symbiosis class of 97, so they might as well do it for us.if anyone knows anything more about this, let me know. also, don't forget to call in and fight with them. they waived my colleagues‘ fees, who are from symbiosis and my own add-on card fees after 2-3 calls & a threat to return the card.

Whether it was SUC Prez or Citibank, Mr. “Datta Samant” Mahajan could bring them down to their knees

SidPad gets chipped off some money by Rediff for a book he never receives. Following on the footsteps of Swapneel, he warns everyone

Thought I should let all you guys know that don't ever try to shop-online at Rediff.com. I burnt my fingers , thought I should warn all of you too.

Misunderstanding & Chaos

Uncle Chawla announced the engagement of Doc with Shweta. It took Denim to clarify “restless minds and hearts” because the one we know spells her name as Shveta and was herself bethrothed to one Mr. Bhupendra

Given the short and sweet sermon by Ganshu, this announcement was made under oath by both Uncle and Kapil Raizada.
