The subject I am liking most ..

Which subject do I like most ? Is it ITDM ... I have come from IT background so I can talk global about it for hours ...  Is it Business Communication ? Is it Accounting as I was one of the key resource in accounting module before coming here ?Is it Marketing ? ... I love this as I am going to be associated for rest of my professional life ? .. Is it Managerial Economics ...because I love to think about that .. No I do like all of them above .. But I am starting to real love organisational behavior .. as it is about myself .. it is about how to be in control of my fate ..it is about how to win my own battle ... alll will follow once I am in complete control of myself .. the OB analysis might say that I am not born to be manager ..but it also says there is exception and the dissonance can be reduced If I know to stroke myself .. So till now OB is the front seat ..

Side Effects of pursuing PGDM in marketing

So I am pursuing PGDM in marketing and the first meeting with marketing came in the marketing management -1 class . The god of the marketing book by Philip Kotler . The book is full of jargons , and examples only and to the best of it not a single question will come from the book in mid-term and end-term . But the book itself is quite enjoyable and only holding the same you feel the way it has been written to perfectly market itself . So you read once the book and then get an insight of the same .

Yeah , I forgot about the side effects of PGDM . After 6 weeks of marketing classes and listening to all the cases of different companies , one thing has changed . I have been looking at different ads in a view slight different way . I am trying to find out the relationship between the add and the company and the value proposition it's trying to make . I am reading economic times and the brand equity page has become somewhat favorite . Took part in the mark-roadies and did one thing : though we couldn't go to the second round , was able to put my team's picture on the markup site . So you see perfect marketing .....

So 45 days gone ..

So 45 days have gone .. I mean 1 mid term is over and hardly another 6 week will wrap up the 1st trimester ...then 5 more will remain ... what has been the learning for me ? Is it the regression analysis or the time series prediction ?

yeah if 45 days is going to be the sample of the 6 trimester population then .. i can say the t-test result will definitely predict correctly . Do I sound MBAlike ? Yeah .. then in layman's term what I can say is that I am enjoying this and definitely I can say that the decision seems right . To progress in life you need to learn something and unlearn something and I believe that till this time this process is right on track . When you start working and continue working for almost 5 years , you develop some black-spots on your soul and this learning is going to unlearn those black spots . So a good beginning and with lots of hope , lets get into play ..

A Marking Stone..

For next two years there will be no more tension of fixing , delivering the codes .No more tension of appraisal process .No more tension of keeping a poker faced personality for ten hours .No more elation on the 30th of every month . Deep inside I feel delighted as I had struggled hard for these days to come . Though I still wish these days should have come 365 days earlier ..but still is quite content with what I have got .. I still know the future is a mystery .. the road to the destination is still frightening ... and the fighting for survival will be more intense . But I am ready to take it to the next level ..

It's Back .. Sewing Machine..

During my school days one of the famous house-hold instrument was the sewing machine .. it was a bit crazy at that time .. All households dreamt of keeping one ... and so does my mother also and kitty party of ladies included topic of how to sew through sewing machine ... In fact what I believe is that sewing machine was the sign of power of house-wives .. as most of the women were house-wives they tried to spend their spare time watching Tulsi on good world doordarshan and sewing on the Usha lexus machine ..

then I grew up and in between the importance of sewing machine faded away .. as ready made garments from foreign manufactures flooded and the importance of female higher education ensured women in office ... the sewing machine became a thing of past .. at least I missed their add on the television for the last decade ..

But a month ago I found them back on the prime time television add show .. and this time they are quite fashionable .. and it shows a happy family and the young mother designing with the sewing machine .. and this add itself tells a complete different story ..a changed confident educated caring woman of India .. with the sexy looking sewing machine I believe Indian Woman has come of her age (at least for some .)and hope this will continue ..

We need several Mumbais

On national televisions I am getting one single big news on the eve of release of MNIK .. SRK vs shiv Sena .. Media is doing perfectly right by supporting the case of unified India .. Mumbai is for all ...Kolkata is for all ..But why do people fall for the Thackrey's ..I think they do have a point .. and the long term goal of everyone should be to eliminate the root cause of this point .. then only Thackrey's will remain silent for ever ..

It is always said sports and arts should be always remain separated from politics but they become part of the politics to gather attention .. If someone is saying that reservation should be for all marathis .. then they must have some reasons .. It's because all prime time news channel serve the 10-8 working class executives need ... no one seem to bother for the deprived one .. and the interesting matter is that deprived ones are the people who vote .. If a picture is projected before the deprived class that they loose because of all other people getting their piece of pie ..then they will buy it ..unless we actually do something to give them their due .

Does this mean giving reservation to all who belong to their state(the deprived ones ) .. No .. the answer is to create opportunity for all in all parts of the country ... start the process of create another Mumbai ... may be 4-5 more Mumbai s .. create growth at all parts of the country ... so that the difference between haves and have-nots is lessened . then only the divisive politics will fail ..

If we think by providing the security to a film we can show then that we all pray for unity in diversity .. then believe me it's just show business .. India is a big country and we do have space for multiple financial capitals .. why will all the corporate heads sit at Mumbai .. make them create one at Bihar .. may be Jharkhand may be at Orissa .. (making them create means creating all basic infrastructure) ..

No one likes to leave from his home town and go to a far place for his living ...it's only the opportunity to grow makes us to leave ..and if a Mumbai is there at the side of Lord Jagannath .. then I will settle there for ever ..

His... story Of a decade

The history or the his story or the story of mine of the last decade .. I am writing this on new year eve .. the last decade which made me .. and if I jolt down the events then it starts with the kargil war ..it starts with the super cyclone of Orissa , then rather uneventful stint at FM college ...it then proceeds towards a great institution called UCE . it proceeds towards the young Infy guy and then now continuing as a wondering soul at TCS Kolkata .. and of course in between multiple infatuations and unsuccessful love ... If I note down the places then it goes like Balasore,jagatSinghpur,Puri ,Burla,Ray dhaba(Burla and ray dhaba should be different ..) ,Bhubaneshwar,Rourkela,brajrajnagar, Chennai,Mysore,Bangalore,Hyderabad,Mumbai, Baroda,Kolkata and numerous trains stations in between ... each place , each date ,each stint combines multiple stories , multiple experiences ...and multiple failures and of course successes .. i will not dare to note down the persons as it is going to be enormous ..
History was one of my favourite subject during school days but I couldn't find a answer at that time to a simple question why we need to know hisory .. the past .. but I think I have found out answers .. history is what I am .. and why I note down only the last decade ..it's because this is the one I am going to carry over the most ..this has taught me most .. this has made me a man from a child ... and it's not over .. I am dreaming more and aspiring more and the last decade has shown me I can do it .. I have lots of lacunae but I am confident I can
One of the essence of Midnight's Children was how the fate of a nation was tied with the fate of a child and vice -a versa.. and the best of part of this decade was that India grew from strength-to -strength .. .. We came to know ourselves better , we believed more .. we aspired more and every time we shined as the Phoenix ..We had our failures but we overcame them .. and it's not over .. we are dreaming more and aspiring more and the last decade has shown us we can do it ..we have lots of thins to do .. to improve upon and act upon .. to provide social justice , education and comfort to all ...
If we think of the world as a whole .. then there are lots of events .. 9/11 ,financial meltdown , rise of capitalism .. believe in democracy and human values .
It may be a hyper-bole for someone but I dare to say I am one of the Midnight's Children of the last decade .. and not only me but we all as an individual and as a group ...
