Reflections Of Life

Took a break from writing, but never stopped reflecting! Lots of things happening, but don’t feel like writing… As two of my fellow ISB bloggers have already written “Hope is a good thing. May be it is best of things. And no good thing ever dies… [Shawshank Redemption]”

Did I hear that Term-4 is the easiest of all… when would it ever get better? The multitude of assignments hasn’t stopped from day-1! Had a good weekend in between but the gruel started again this week… I think my energy levels are currently rock-bottom. Where is all the enthusiasm I had in term-1?

What is happening in ISB? Lots… Partners from Bain & Co attended some of our lectures to gauge the quality of our class participation… they are still contemplating about visiting for placements. There was a debate competition, a case competition and a cricket quiz organized by the student clubs here… I really appreciate the interest taken by these core members of the club to ‘make things happen’. We also had an open forum where our deputy dean and our assistant dean discussed all the students concerns. The ex-chief election commissioner T.N. Seshan spoke about Corporate Governance & Ethics… I loved this as he is someone I always respected.

There is a course on Macroeconomics and Policy Instruments which is going to be taken by Dr. C. Rangarajan, the ex-RBI governor. The topics to be covered sound interesting and I have registered for it even though it would not be part of the required number of electives. The classes are going to be scheduled in any term depending on his availability, two of those happening this Sunday. Should be interesting to learn this topic from the man who framed the policies.
