Stages in a medical school..
1)The first years-- the most sought after..be it in the canteen,the ‘free’ periods or for completing the records,assignments.

2) The second-years... the ones with the ‘I am the don-of-the-college’ feeling.

3) The third years... the ones with the ‘so-many-backlogs’ feeling and the poor souls get down to studying after bossing around in the college for so long .
but the fun still continues.

4) The fourth years ...have no connection with the college whatsoever…with no interest in ragging,pulling each other`s legs,the b'day parties,
the b'day bums at all which they enjoyed so much till now. All they want is a good pg and a ’1st-class’ tag attached to their memo.)

And finally The ‘interns’ who perhaps no longer remain a part of college life.. The 5 years spent in cursing the college,the people there,the system & all. But towards the end ,people tend to feel nostalgic about the pure unadulterated fun they have had for 5 years. Now the very system they disliked, the very canteen the cursed, the very lectures they bunked, the time that they spent there, the b'day bums they suffered. All these seem like heaven to them.
