Day 213: 2nd Feb, 2010

Marathon in the library. Sat from 3pm to 3am straight. Working first on the MM report - made a mental (?) mind map. ('Coz the actual one is supposed to be drawn on paper :-p) Chucked it midway to start working on the higher priority CFM report.

One would feel in this age of internet, you would find information easily. But yet, when you are looking for specific data, it just does not seem to exist!

Though this has now introduced me to some aspects of IIML infrastructure which I hadn't used before - databases. I have heard seniors/alums say IIML has a great library and I always wondered why. Now slowly I realise that we have access to a lot of proprietary databases providing a lot of data on a lot of issues. After all this description, the anticlimax is that I was still not able to find the marketing data I needed :D . But I tend to feel that it's because I am not very familiar on which databases to use :-p . Saurabh did eventually point out the way to access the stock reports required for CFM.

The special thing about today's project effort was that my group tried to do it collaboratively using Google wave. I found the use interesting though I guess there is ample scope for improvement.

Had an HRM presentation in the morning. I keep landing in situations where there is little time for the second half of members of the group. I have become quite a pro at handling such sitations and skimming through the slides quickly :D. This was followed by the CFM presentations, people are going crazy over this - one team actually turned up in business formals! ( Aman, Yogesh, Soumen!) . Yuck!

Day 172: 17th Dec, 2009

Gaana matlab .. Coke Studio !

If you are @ helL, you know what I am talking about! Coke Studio is the latest rage on campus. Basically, it's a series of musical performances by all the top notch Pakistani singers in a more unplugged kinda environment... and it's AWESOME! My current fav performance is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYaiwaybsaY&feature=related

Today morning I got to have a full 15 minute sumptuous breakfast. I would love to say it is because I turned over a new leaf, embracing some self-discipline and thus woke up early. But to make things more realistic and believable, lets stick to the truth. Because I thought the class was at 9.30 .. instead of 9.45 :-p

The break after the lecture was filled with sudden frenzy because of a surprise Eco quiz conducted in some other section. That section people were completed surrounded by our section guys and were being bombarded on what came for that quiz. I, as usual, could only (disapprovingly) wonder how people can keep getting so worked up over such simple things.

At dinner, Saurabh and Vanki suddenly and randomly took it onto himself to think of some girl on campus most suited to match me. Probably ended up going about the task a little too seriously :D . Tch tch.. the disappointment was bound to come :D

Making a small attempt in trying to understand Google Wave. Seems like a good tool for collaboration. Have sent out invited to friends. Can test only when they start waving. Will sleep early today. gn!
