We got over with our formal/informal induction to IIM-L last saturday.... Details i cannot disclose coz of the insti honour code :).. but it was awesome fun.... top it up with the amazing insti party... with unlimited booze [yeah, unlimited] flowing.... and the DJ belting out number after number.. the best part was that the party was in an AC hall, Samanjasya, otherwise we would have just melted away in the Lucknow heat. On Sunday, we had a session with our Chairman of the Board, Dr. Jamshed J Irani, Tata Sons. Amazing personality, I was totally in awe of him. Even though I did not agree with most of his views regarding management education [neither did most of my classmates] , still I enjoyed listening to his amazing experiences n life.
Monday... formal classes begin... first class, BIO [Behavior in Organization, for the uninitiated]... man, the prof was deathly boring... I thought, this, this is it... this is how I am going to die... from boredom driving me closer to St. Peter.... but thankfully the session lasted only [!!] for 90 minutes, and then i rushed to my room for a nap... I was thinking, why are the IIMs so revered, the profs here are just as [or even more] boring than the profs at med school.... but then Tuesday showed me why... We had a CFM [communication in management] session... the prof was amazing... energetic, knowledgeable, in sync with the present generation and had an amazing sense of humour....
Just as I was gloating, MANAC struck, then QAM, then LAM... and then god knows what... Assignments, Groups, Presentations, Projects.... the deluge literally shoved me to the edge.. then i recalled, i am in helL.... gotta run now... have to analyze Aventis Pharma's Annual reports for the past four years [WTF!!!!!!]

nice write up dude.. kep goin!
Really wonderful postings boss... I would love to read more about the reservation part and also the one about the Dera contraversy.. My friend's family (from Sirsa, where it all started) was stuck in the middle of all that rioting and I knew how one feels when there is trouble for a close friend..
Hey... You know I also never get my first choices anyways.. with 6 IIM calls, I ended up in IIML where IIMB was my first choice... Missed IIT by a huge margin.. Missed life in 12th standard... All misses with the good and first stuff... But the second-best stuff proved to be a life-changer for me..
Hope you tackle other challenges in life in a similar manner... And ya, kep blogging...
hehe, i thought the induction sucked really, but i'm sure that's 'cuz i'm looking at it with wizened eyes. :)
yeah homo rai sure did make an impact with CFM, n' the rest of the 1st term profs weren't too bad in sooth, but this term is killer.
we've a 73 yr old chap who doesn't have teeth (he must've done some serious biting) n' so isn't decipherable (altho' he spks the most impeccable english) n' tries to click the mouse for alt-f4 :-( no slides, in short. so DWO is going down the drain.
pity i discovered this blog late. shall blogroll you.
