Love-Hate Relationship with MBA

I think I can never get over from my love-hate relationship with my college.when I joined MBA I thought that this sine wave in my mind is just temporary effect and is only because I am in a new environment but I now I believe it's not unique but its' a very natural emotion.
I love my college here for numerous reasons:
1. I get plenty of time to do what I like.
2. I get a lot of time to read books. (Sometimes I overdo it by reading 3newspapers a day!!).
3. My mindset that this MBA is an opportunity for me to undo what all mistakes I have don’t in my past and I can mould myself in a new shape in these 2 years..I think I am right here to some extent.
4. The course is very interesting.
5. The lectures are very few which means more time for self study

I hate my college for:
1. Because the atmosphere is not challenging and competitive.
2. People are more complacent and try to not think.
3. I think I don’t deserve this.
4. Sometimmes teachers disappoint me.
5. The food is terrible.
Nevertheless, we all have our own reasons to love and hate things no matter where we are because nothing is perfect and wherever you are you know for sure that there is a huge room for improvement.
During my SIP I had interacted a no of students from different colleges and I was surprised that even they had their own reasons for dislikes with their colleges even through their were graduating from top colleges of country. But that does not mean that we must become complacent in fact we must try more harder to life our standards continuously.

Nostalgia sinking in

Now that the realization of the fact is sinking in that i ma a guest of this city for just a week, I am getting nostalgic now. I’ve spend a really great 2months here, made some real good freinds,started to like my work and the place that the time has come when i have to pack my bags and bid adieu to the city.
To be very fair and exact, these 2 months of stint in Bosch has been my first step in the real serious professional career, a kind of work and profile which is my career goal and the industry in which I try to seek into. This stepping stone has exposed me to numerous challenges, given my enormous learning and experience that I can’t say.
I have built a lot of confidence and knowledge of the subject matter that when i will go back to my campus I will really not regret about not getting myself paid even for a sec because what I have accumulated from here in this small time is just priceless and i am more than happy to my project guides for believing in me and giving me this opportunity and APICS certificate program which helped me a lot in getting myself recognized. The first advantage which APICS gave me was getting me this internship program because i was spotted by my guides because of this only.
My only wish and hope is that I should get a good job because of this certification and should complete my certification before finishing my post graduation here.

weekend getaway!!

allright,so after the long and seemingly never ending week i've come to the end of week and i could get no better a way to celebrate the joy of No work by unwinding myself at the amazing places at nasik.
nasik is a very peaceful small hamlet surrounded by mountains and peaks from all sides and demarking it as its periphery.the city is very small,very peaceful ,full of greenery,alive with nature,pleasant climate throughout the year round and most of all good people.if i would have to settle somewhere after my retirement then iit has got to be this place more so because of its proximity with the major cities.
i spend aa lovely saturday today at the spelendid mountain peak called trimbhakeshwar which is just alittle away from the city and then splurge on wines at a local vinery sipping various vines by watching beautiful scenic views ammidst sprinking showers.it was really a heady feeling which the wine was giving me .you find yourself so disconnected from all other worries and find yourself so soaked and immersed in the mellow trip which gets osmosized with the beutiful view which wines offered me.i got to learn the intricacies about the proces of vine manufacturing,processing,storing,drinking and ven storing it..i came back home after being a llot knowledable,happier,satisfiedd and relaxed.

there is only one regret that amidst all such merry making i am neglecting my book very rudely..this book which i bought after spending a good 800bucks stares at me every evening after i come from office and i am finding it real hard to keep myself stuck into it..

my summer internshiip is about to end after next week.in the mean while i have to preaper the report,complete formalities and prepare for my mumbai visit.
i will be in mumbai for 2days and am planning to catch up with some old freinds and then ill be back to home for good 2 weeks.

lesson for today: drinking wine 1-2 glasses each day is good for health.happy that wining is endorsed by some good people and i can safely consume it..

CHEERS!!

Why Don't I Blog!

Now first things first. I duly apologize for being such a lethargic and laggard in posting my blog. I have come t realize that the concept of blogging is slowly fading away with the advent of twitter and buzz.people don’t have time to type long, people don’t want to think for long, people don’t want to read for that long. The span of attention is remarkably reduced with so many things to attend to.and with globalization; the rate of value addition in products is an incredible. Well am also a victim of this and it's getting too hard for me to find out if I am feeling guilty about it or not. I think the quote would be best that when is Rome, do like Romans do. anyway, coming back to my point of actually getting the motivation to write this blog after a high period of hibernation. Let me give some reasons of absence in the order of their correctness.

1. I was a laggard.

2. I was writing too much in other formal and informal ways like making reports, writing assignmenst, sending numerous mails for my Inernships, some times doing this for others as well.

3. I was hooked to twitter and buzz (buzz, when did I accept that??)

4. I was reading fabulous book which is the biography of ANDY GROVE-the co-founder of Intel. This is an amazing book written by yet another eminent personality called Richard Tedlow.Richard is an intellectual and Harvard professor of business history and is an acclaimed anthropologist. the reason what hooked me to this book is that the book was not only a great insight about life and times of one of the greatest CEOs of this era but being the fact that the book started in the backdrop of height of Hitler’s dominance in europe, the communism, the after effects of the war ravaged Hungary from where Andy belonged, the difference between the communist eastern Europe and capitalist US, its education system, its philosophy of liberty and free spirit.. I found the very impressive, it’s writing style very superfluous, cogent and apt. the story is great by the way.

5. My grandmother expired am terribly pained with this news. I had to leave my classes and miss one important exam to be there and meet her for one last time. But god has its own plans. I could not meet her and she went to heaven before I came. I came here today itself trying to be a better person, more understanding and patient one.

6. I am stressed due to my not getting any internships when it’s just one month way. Hope the nonexistent readers forgive me for my sins.

Yours truly (am I serious)

Internet Vs Cognition

its really disturbing to me when i see people trying to find answers to just each and everything under the sun on internet which they could have otherwise found it easily simply by using their mind.
we need to step back and question ourselves are we too much dependent on technology where we are indirectly dependent on the intellect of few geniuses to such a point that their creation has started to dominate and dictate our lives.
Or we have started to realize that we are just a mindless buggers and internet is a better avenue to give solutions than what our mind could otherwise have?
Are we not trying to demean our power of thought,power of reason and value of the outcome and becoming quixotically happy to get a ready made meal!!

Some common answers people try to look for:
Ohh we have to prepare a poem for this ***,lets google it out..
we have to create a business plan for our restaurent,how do we go about??....is your lappy wired??
we've gotta make a collage on INDIA-UNITY IN DIVERSITY by tomo..how do we do in such less time...hey i've a brilliant idea..how abt GOOGLE IMAGES..
i want you to write a essay for this competition..You can take help of internet..


these are just a few examples which i could recall from my daily experiences..i am sure their are lot many which you too must have gone through..i would like to see your ideas on it too..

what i mean to say is that we sometimes forget that the solutions which we look for internet can sometimes be found more faster and of more smarter if we just apply our common sense and give a small thought about it..and i mam sure majority of the time we would end up being more happy about it..dont agree..try it!!(and plzz dont google this out for god's sake))

freind

today i am beyond doubt that you cannot have everybody as your freinds,you need to have a very small set of freinds to be succesful.i had heard this once by my professor in a class a week back.he said that a person who is everyboduy's freind is freind to nobody.i used to disagree with this point till some point back but now i am beyound doubt that you cannot be friends with everybdoy.you need t find people who are really your freinds,with whom you would like to share things and who do enrich you intellectually.
i didnt knew this before but i observed that over a period of time i am beginnig to see a observation that i find interest in talking to a very few people in campus.
