Wednesday Class

I forgot to tell about how we reached on the question on the manual vs mental labour - that was the most interesting part of the class :D We were discussing a case - this watchman is stationed outside the lab where a snake is spotted by a prof. The watchman refuses to kill / shoo away the snake as he is without any protective gear. What all should be supplied to the watchman - "Snake repellent spray" and "Mongoose" were the suggestions from my classmates. The watchman should be "dressed to kill" and "ready for combat" against snakes or maybe in future if need required to be prepared against rodents, cockroaches, and .... The discussion went on for a while (let me tell you, all the while our prof had the discussion flow in his control - another example of good trainer) and was ended on the note that that if we were to compare the salaries of VP and the watchman we will find that its 66:1 or for every 1 rupee earned by the watchman; 66 gets earned ...

"Wel-Come" Wednesday

Another class...people around me are enquiring about study...exams are nearing! Now whats this, I forgot in the excitement to join back college that I have to also appear for the exams. I was enjoying the classes, the discussions were eye opener and now whats this - exam. Ok me have to start studying. Fine I enter into the library and I come out with "Rich Dad - Poor Dad" :D Now my dear friend "A" would say ya, its a good book to read, you must read it. Ok so here I am reading it, and I would soon start preparation for my exams, I still have time. Tring Tring ! Hey so what have you decided - when are you gonna start preparing for exams?

Rains, Quotes, Holidays, Back to class

Rains are back and with that comes the days when you have to wade through the dirty waters. The more you try to avoid the dirt the more you fall prey to it. I left the clean and safe street of my apartments and hit the road to be greeted by a passing bike - choco mucky water right on to my shoes and half of my jeans. Wow!! I forgot to have my Choco Horlicks today!! Back home changed into another shoes and jeans and then finally took the right steps to reach the bus stop! No mud see!! But till when?? There comes this car and voila!! Forget it there comes your bus get into it, its the rainy season remember. Drink loads of choco and keep smiling! Remember last year even your face was smeared with the mud, its better now. Ok moving on...One person enquired as to why I use so many quotes in my posts. Well why? Actually I have this habit of collecting quotes from everywhere, wherever I can lay my hand on...Whenever I am writing something these just pop to my mind....I read something like th...

Friends!!

Sunday morning and this article ....While reading, I wondered whether Friendships comes with an expiry date? Is there nothing as such called as eternal friendship. Hmmm...lemme go back and see my own sets of friends...I have travelled to loads of places and lost and found loads of friends. Some I lost, because we moved ( changed the city, school, or the job) and became too lazy to write or talk to each other. And then they all got settled and got tied up with their family affairs. And we moved on all got our new sets of friends. If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair. by Samuel Johnson With a couple of friends, I had fall outs because of some reasons and we simply parted ways. It was the best thing to do, I guess because neither of us were willing to accept their faults nor forgive each other. Friendships leave a bitter taste and do have an expiry Tag!! But thankfully, I...

Being a Mom - No Kidding!!

There was a couple attending my class. Imagine both of them getting to study together maybe after a long time - how sweet!. Well, she has withdrawn her name from the course. She had to as there's no one to take care of her kids during those 2 hours of our class. Now, why cant her hubby take care of the kids after all its his kids too. Maybe instead of quitting college, one of them could attend the classes while the other, took care of the kids. But who knows maybe there could be a reason why this wasn't a viable solution for them. While travelling back home, I was still working out what could be a solution for them. At that very moment, I recalled having read somewhere about group that had started day care for the mothers who were continuing their study at a Business School. I still am trying to search it on the Net to find the details and maybe share those with my B-School. If they feel it could be a viable option it would be a boon to many others like her who want to take up...

@ Bus Stop

As usual me waiting for my bus which always comes late at whichever time I plan to leave... that's a different story in itself and in one of my Profs words "वों बात फिर कभी" Here comes an old man...walking with the aid of an stick, he comes pauses for breath, and then starts a conversation with me. There are some 10 odd people there but he speaks only to me :-( The other day, another lady came up to me and started talking. This happens often, I don't know why? Its not that I don't enjoy or like such chats (In fact, I welcome them for want of materials for my posts - blogging is such an addiction, I tell) but there are times when I wonder why they come and speak to me even when I am unable to speak the local dialect. Well still at the quest!!
