It took 2 glasses of wine and a bitch of a day to finally write this post!!!
ISB had , in addition to a rigourous workload, loads of partying, and placement frenzy, a LOT to do with sex! A friend rightly pointed out in an inebriated state, " I am glad ISB ended, it was becoming a brothel"! Yikes!!
While married men started enjoying their new found freedom, those in committed relationships started doubting whether their partner was truly "the one". Those who had been hurt in the past by their steady lovers decided it was time to move on to greener pastures. Single men and women simply reaped the benefits of a new renovated pool of choices.
People were jumping in and out of windows, hiding under beds when a roommate came, arising out of bushes without a viable excuse, and getting caught smootching in romantic places like the rooftop garden (not much iof a garden really).
Some were and ARE deliriously happy with the choices they made! Others are hurt because all the "fucking" simply left them "fucked over". And then there are those that simply went back to their old partners as if nothing happened, not unlike a bathroom break during a movie!
As another friend rightly stated referrring to the topic, "ISB leaves noone unscathed"!!
Why is this really?
Id love to provide a profound answer in this blog. After all, why else would I be writing it! But truth is I DONT KNOW!! I can think of a number of reasons, work load, loneliness, new found penchant for alcohol, advice to step out of the comfort zone taken too literally...the list can go on and on.....
All in all, its sad really in a way...when you collect the data and put it in a generalised way, love in ISB comes out seeming quite unromantic and trite....
HOWEVER, I am sure that for some, love in ISB was just that: LOVE IN ISB! not SEX IN ISB as my blog states! maybe the affair was a secret...maybe you had to work hard to keep it a secret, harder than an investment analysis final...maybe it ended in nothing....maybe it was all easy to forget and move on from... but maybe just maybe inspite of all that, it was in fact love and NOT just sex!!! :)
