Here I am, writing a delayed account of my past one month of PGSEM Qtr1. To be honest, laziness is what which is causing this. Course pressure doesn't have to do anything with this. BTW am I really taking any pressure? Anyways I will be writing a very short note.
A lot many things has happened since past 1 month, and to be honest I came thrice on this board to write something and walked out without writing anything. Organized 'Pehel 2012' event for PGSEM community of IIM B. Got a chance to hear first hand report about Arvind eye hospital and their philanthropic work through their faculty. Was brutally screwed in the mid-term. And on all three occasion I thought of writing detailed account but didn't do that. So here goes the brief account.
PEHEL 2012 - THE event of the PGSEM'er, by the PGSEM'er and for the PGSEM'er. Somehow I landed in organizing the event along with 2 of my batch mates. Managing across different committee, pressure of getting things done along with regular work/classes, what not to do, and what to do when into the soup - event teaches a lot of things. A glimpse of fun event we organized is here. If question rising in your mind whether I participated in any stage event or not then answer is NO. As a usual practice I like working backstage plus neither had time left nor had talent, so I did what I am best doing.
Arvind Eye Hospital - I am always game for inspiring stories. Arvind eye hospital is one such story. You need to watch this video to understand what Arvind eye hospital (AEH) is doing. A faculty from AEH came to give the session on strategy management case on AEH on request of our Strategy professor. Being in IIM gives you an opportunity to get first hand information from any source, and this is not the only one such occasion, we have luxury of meeting and listening to industry honcho at regular interval. AEH idea is aligned on the theme of 'Benefiting Masses Profitably' and I am big fan of this idea and the untapped segment.
Mid-Term - Do I need to talk, fate is kinda obvious? My laziness, involvement in events and other activities running in college led me into situation where I was on verge of getting screwed. Reading for GYAN rather than marks also aided to the pathetic situation. Microeconomics was one of such disaster. Even before writing the paper I knew that I am going to be screwed and for I was so right. :-) At one point of time during exam, I was not getting idea what to write for question, so walked out from the examination hall thinking why to 'waste' time sitting here. Results are out as well and I have scored quite average as per my standard, ya ya I think too big about my standard :P. Thankfully, relative marking will save me and can hope to get a decent grade here. Accounting was on expected lines, it is my favorite subject and have got marks which I deserved. So no issues there. I was even lazy to ask Accounting prof for marks at one question where he didn't give marks for being partially correct like others. Strategy Management is the course for which brutal attack will happen in single go at end -term.
Next two weeks are going to be a hell of week. Have to complete 3 reports of 3000 words plus each, one presentation and not to miss the end-term which need to be given. First term is almost over. And unfortunately nothing has been done so far in any of the assignment and presentation. Still a engineer. It is real fun nonetheless. :)
