TERM I Se - TERM II - Tak.....

"Oh when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life (THINK TWICE......)"
Term I ended 2 days back and it was first day of term II today . 3months passed by with speed of light. I can still see myself sitting in front of mess in drenched state(drenched from TOP to BOTTOM).After these 90 days of hard work(have to think twice),hectic schedule(again think twice),sleepless nights(who made it sleepless),lots of readings to be done(did i grasped anything or only read)...Everything went by so fast,mismanaged to such an extent,with very little of learning...Did we really learned ways to manage..I didnt atleast..but yeaah....I surely came to know about weekness I do have and identified areas of improvement after doing number of projects with different people.Ragging,parichay,sambandh,all ball matches(foot,basket,volley and cricket ball ),Communication presentations,marketing project,boring ceo talks,PPT of companies everything provided us with one or another kind of learning. When we talk about learnings,lets start with GOD of MARKETING Mr. Kotler,who would surely feel insulted to know tat we people finished reading kotler in span of 7 days or so. He will think twice to write another book and amount of reserach he has to put in writing tat book.Mr. Dessler will surely comeout with slides next time as its worthless to read book for HR exam.Mr. Lewin shall stop explaining application of Statistics in his books as we always got an answer "This is done in book so it is done in this way". Kudos to Ramanna sir for super knowledge transfer and explaining the concepts to each and everyone in superb manner.Sleep was compelted in best manner in class.Laptops were used at their best in MC(Managing Computers).GTALK, and BOPUP remained the best past time.AOE and NFS contested for best game in campus.Stick cricket made classes more interesting than they were actually.Mess food after 00:00 hours were only eatables in mess....rest shall not be served et al as bad food affects studies. Going forward in second term I shall PROBABLY,ACTUALLY try to improve on all my weakness and build upon my strengths.I hope dharam and nity would leave no stone unturned to find true color of Sky.Kamal hai trrrrrrrrrringggggggggggggg would be more famous than he is now.Govind Jai Jai bolo gopal jai jai...would reverbrate in all directions.1,2,3 PRIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK...mmmmmmmmmm will be continued and shall achive his goal .Barabar hai barabar hai would try to make everything unequal with his expertise in computers.Bamadev would still remain our CR(Someone mite have given him curse during last bith).Baba would continue the social work with his six sigma distribution channel.Laloo will think more LOGICALLY than he does now.C Block will keep the mantra of OM Swaha to be continued for next two years.Diwana dil diwana will remain as favourite song of all....B toppers...and Uncle will remain as old aged expert of our batch(EXPERT IN EVERYTHING HE DOES) .Baba ...$@##@ will be there in ever D block bash.Aliysee expert Arush would release newer versions very soon....A block will surely come with some USP of their own.Coming elections would surely create more split in elites(shall try to avoid it if we can).RM will interact more wid PGP..(no intentions implied..for anyone specific).RMH will come out with flying colors for the benefit of gents hostel(Atleast for some of my friends , um sure the Better half exists here only).And on personal side,I will surely start writing some abstract blogs...as it was all fun till now...some more seriousness needs to be added to everything I do.As one of my friend rightly said .....Everything I do,I do it for you.....and I must do something for alll my blogreaders...something more valuable.....and I will surely start as I complete my first phase of journey of TERM I.

2Ps of MBA College - A Research based on Facts...

"Vote for me",he is not apt person for it. Hey can we work together to grab this seat?"Can you let me know if he is contesting for election, if yes I have to do something very serious..may be club my votes with some other clout.Nay,um not talking about any constituency elections.This was scene which prevailed in my college(my home) for past two weeks.But as I read somewhere "Home is built by People who lives there",I might have to think twice to call this place as home.House would be an apt until we all are together which I rarely forsee coz of number of elections scheduled for next month.No blame game here as myself being part of this community could have done something to avoid all this but never thought of that and as my friend said you are "Gone with the Wind".

Though,I always wanted to keep myself out of this contest for Position which requires dedication,your day and night of hardwork to make sure that 240 members of community can see Prosperous career.As I have already experienced the impact of all this during engineering college elections fo departmental elections.Still finally decided to see each and every face of Elite-2007.After these 15 days of observations,I now can easily explain the reason for Politicians playing blame games and being so corrupt as the position for which they contest gives them name,fame and what not.Placement committee membership will give us nothing but a learning to cope up with stress,an opportunity to utilize your negotiations skills,communication skills and last but not least will make sure that all of these 240 members will never forget you through out their life.And these reasons were enough for me to decide on whether to contest or not. But who said there are elections scheduled tomorrow?

All of this started with some rumours about Placement committe elections in next two days.Rumour spread by someone who wanted desperately to grab coordinator seat.Tussle started from the time everyone came to know about same. Regional factions have already been formed.At least for this committe we shall not ,for rest all we can give try with regional factions.Thanks to SEC and placement committe for a wonderful one page notice in front of mess.Everyone so worried about this,and everyone shall as this is a crtical committe for every MBA College.Everyone shall act wise and let democratic system decide the most apt candidates.But still People do whatever they can for catching attention of all.There are "Laloos" and "mamtas" in every Politics.And I confirmed that there are laloos and mamtas in every MBA college too.But no one understood this is all about Placement and not Politics.But it seems to me this was placement Preparation for being part for the political party who will be recruiting soon.At least elite-2007 prepared well for theis interview and I am sure most of us will be able to get that Position.Excuse me,I would opt for being a manager than a Politician or a amanger with ability to play Politics would be best in todays corporate world . Politician with ability to manage things - No Way.But yes its Part and Parcel of life coz everyone is here to get Placements. Every manager must know - "4Ps of marketing" .Every MBA college student must know all about - 2Ps of a MBA college - Placements and Politics.
