“Short n sweet” – is it something to do with economists that they don’t understand these words?
Today’s GSB class was very interesting and I felt I should have read the article before the class. Prof discussed the oil issues facing the world and the perspectives brought out by the class were good. This course has varied topics like these which are interesting and provoke discussion. At the end of each lecture, there is a 10 minute video that is shown about the social entrepreneurial ventures. This week we saw videos on Aravind eye Hospital and the HLL-Lifebuoy campaign for diarrhea reduction in the rural areas of India. If only the professor completes his lectures in 2 hours, it would have been more appreciated. Reduction in the much needed break leaves some frustrated and should be understood by both the professor and the students.
It has been a pretty long week and I still have 3 more classes to go tomorrow to complete this week’s schedule. I gave part of my group’s SAIT presentation today… lots of work we had put in… and the presentation went pretty good, except for a few goof-ups. This is the first time I gave a presentation in front of such a large crowd and I was nervous till the start… I was conversant with the topic I was presenting and hence I was comfortable after I started. The Q&A was well handled by my group members. Given the short time we had to do this, I think we did a pretty good job on this assignment. Henceforth, we can ask questions in all other presentations in the following classes ;-)
Two more assignments to submit tomorrow… have done my part of it. After such a hectic week, I just don’t feel like opening my books to read for tomorrow’s classes. In my first term at ISB, I did not contribute to any class participation. In the second term, we had marks for the same in Competitive Strategy and I used to feel very uncomfortable to talk in class. Come fourth term, I must say I can see a marked change in myself… I am more confident these days to state an opinion in class.
Tomorrow there is an ISB party and also a Melody night organized by the Chennaites here… Jawz is coming to see me after a long time… she was my first year roommate in BITS and we have both been in Hyderabad for the past couple of months and still haven’t met each other. Can’t forget the days when she used to put an alarm for 5.30 am (supposedly to go to the gym), never hear it and I used to wake up, switch the damn thing off to wake her up and return to my cozy sleep… after a few hours, I would still find her sleeping!
“Short n sweet” – I think I have written enough to contradict my title.
