"Huh , its so hot here" - says the Girl. "Ya , you are here na that's why" - responds the Guy. The girl smiles and sighs away. The Guy gets closer. "Hey, what are you doing?" asks she worried by his advances. "MBA" - comes the instant reply. The girl smiles again , a laugh indeed.
A non-dheela guy would have perhaps switched on the AC to cool the 'heat' and got intimidated to not to proceed further once the girl spilled the "what are you doing?" question. And end up being touted as Dumbo, fattoo , not with the times- purane zamane ka and all such sort of things.
Salman being the dheel character he is , still could not get one Aishwarya or a Katrina. Do girls like to have a sling with a dheela character but finally settle with a non-dheela character. "Hum woh nahi he" claimed she on farewell day after 'spending' the full college years with him.
Many arrive as committed (few engaged too) , but gets extra-hooked inside the campus. 'Yahan bhi hona chaiye' syndrome?. After the college , the company perhaps too. 'Wahan bhi?' :) Until they marry their non-dheela version of the other gene. Cool he woh if you don't know !

X worked for 2 hours during weekend but made sure to call and mail his boss on some pretext or other every time he worked overtime. He gets a promotion in next cycle. Y works for 12 hours every weekend but genuinely try not to bother his boss during this time. He hears 'so early today?' from his boss when he starts leaving to see his ailing mother in hospital.
If both X and Y are in a knowledge based industry (say IT), in long term its Y which will make a bigger mark. The more hours you spent , the more you will learn(assuming you have the ability to do so) which will differentiate you. The X high will vanish soon. So is the dheela character a short term phenomena?

There was this B-School with its so called very 'successful' more than 100% placements report making headlines in Pagalguy but i can still see their placement team scheduling interviews for their unplaced students in the market. The college inadvertently ranks amongst top 10 B-Schools in India.
Then there are slew of B-Schools which can go to any extent to win the fiercely fought placement war. Many organize/conduct so called 'Best Summer Project of the Year' contest. Get the project reports from the participating students from other competitive colleges thereby getting the details of the companies which they can pouch for themselves.

Interview a few highly talented individuals on the pretext of a lucrative job opening , give them the complex problem during the selection rounds and once done by the candidates , reject them on some pretext - Few start-ups found out this very novel way of getting the complex work done which their workforce wasn't able to do !
A few others hire interns and then send them to their competitors as prospective customers or other avatars to get the inside info. 'Tum jhoot nahi bol sakte?' questions the guide in surprise.

You are doomed if you start liking the ethics classes and give a slightest hint of it to your batch. And if you are in that always-studying mode least interested on the college excitement, either you are a bookworm or a behenji.
"Woh topper he, woh parhai karega and won't do any committee work" - said a 'popular' dheela character and everyone agreed.
"Chi , kese batchmates mile hein" - one dheela taunted on the guy trying to curb ragging if any on campus. The President with him smiled.
