Need to work on the titles a wee bit more. Anyways.. blog settings still not optimized.. waking up two hours post noon on a Sunday does little to help the cause. The laptop charger's not working. using a Dell charger on a Compaq laptop. Chinese made. God Bless Them. And to wind up the whining list.. three case studies completed in the last 5 hours - a) Disney in France (Strategic Management) b) Sheth Models (Consumer Behaviour) and c) Cafe Coffee Day (Marketing of services)
Which brings us to the point.. Second year of an MBA, Five months to go before placements commence and how many books has one written? None. Life has really not progressed beyond Presentations, Case Studies, Project Reports and Group Dynamics. Sad. Even the guy/girl (surely a guy) who wrote the anonymous mail to the batch (read placement cell) had something in mind and went for it. And Thank God for that, else to have lived a life without being a recipient of an anonymous mail would have been so not hip (Enid Blyton.. we connect now!). However, On the lower end of the optimism pyramid, all those hours OF Blyton and Hitchcock and Doyle and the ad nauseum Forensic shows on telly have come a cropper. Seriously, on a personal front.. an absolute failure. To have narrowed down the list of suspects to 4 guys.. FOUR! guys is just so not happening. Even Boycott's mum could have done better. Hurts.
The fourth day at Lords ended. Final day, India require a further 378 to win with the Wall and VVS at the crease. Others to follow include Gambhir, Tendulkar (100th century in a fighting cause? .. ahaan!) , Raina and Dhoni. No or 1 wicket in the 1st session and a draw would be realistic. Tough day beckons.. the 1st test of an away tour has always been our problem.
Thirdly, in a casual conversation, a friend asked if one gets the time to apply all the marketing concepts in a real world environment.. what with the narrow field of work more often than not ensuring less flexibility in ideation and application. Will reserve my own comments for later, for life has been mix-and-match so far and with work life starting in a few months' time, this probably is not the time to change the optimistic view on the subject matter.
adios.
