Term 3 blues

I never imagined that things can change so dramatically in one week. I had a feeling that my capacity has increased after going through Term 1 and 2 and started finding Term 3 pretty manageable despite having double the number of assignments.

But that was only till the Midterm. The moment we finished writing the Midterm exam, there was a flood of assignments waiting for us - individual and group, both. That whole weekend was spent in Bayview, Kota Fibres and Ops assignment. I couldn't even take few minutes out during the last weekend.

Only respite was the daawat hosted by Nidhi Reddy for the Hyderabadis. I got to meet the old buddies with whom I shared pre-ISB dreams. Now all of us are lost in the acads, grades, extra-curriculars, official and unofficial responsibilities, ELPs and Paevs.

But we definitely have some excellent professors. Bhagwan Chowdhry, Rama Velamuri and Sridharan are the three profs who impressed me a lot in this term. Each one of them is so different but only ommon thing is their zeal to understand and teach. Each of them has his own style.

This term has lot of value addition in terms of analytical ability. Even a course on Entrepreneurship is focused how do you analyze opportunities. Each case presents a unique way in which the entrepreneur made a venture successful. Sometime back I have read that reality is the most dramatic thing compared any of the man-written/made novels, stories or movies. God is definitely a better director. There are so many permutations and combinations possible that it is impossible to say with certainty that this is what is going to happen exactly. Both Economics and Business, though closely linked to each other, are so random that it is impossible to predict exactly what's gonna happen but you can say something only with a certain level of confidence. Your ability to interpret is based on past observed data, which is limited, that limits your accuracy.

I am thinking of converting this blog into a audio/video blog so that I don't loose my thoughts because of my busy schedules. If someone knows how to do it, let me know.
