Day 347: 23rd Aug, 2010

Today marks the celebration of one AWESOME year of being an INDEXian! :) :)

Sometimes, somethings are memorable forever. They need not always be big things. For eg., this short SMS that pachpan received - 'Pls meet the prof for your conB viva'. And the guy had no clue that the rest of his group (including yours truly) had already met the prof :D . Super devilish that was! :D

Was also the savior for my SM group. Had made the complete ppt and mailed it across to them, but they just didn't happen to take it in a pen-drive. Rushed to class (15min late!!) with the presentation on my hdd. Got blamed for not getting along the word doc :-| , as the others hadn't read up on the parts on which they were supposed to speak :-| . The presentations were a little fun too, especially the recommendations part. One of the groups actually said - "Should gain market share". Hello? Who wouldn't want to?! :D

Day 346: 22nd Aug, 2010

♫ "Woke up this morning, Got up with the fear of SM!" ♫

Needed to start (and finish) the SM project in a few hours before it was time for the extra lecture in Retail (on a Sunday, yes, :-( , sad, I know). Sud seems to have gone off the map, so I guess another consecutive ditch putting all the load on me. Never mind, taking a "cosmos" point of view, I think I'll balance it out next term (INDEX term!). Finished that thing.

Next up was a guest lecture by the founder of Crossword - R Sriram. Luckily, that lecture turned out to be nice. One of the things I found interesting was this thought he gave on rules; most organisations make rules for the 1% who are the outliers, people who'll do silly things. But what you can do instead is to relax those rules, make life more comfortable for the 99% and treat that 1% as a business cost. Point to ponder.

Next up was our conB viva. As I keep saying always, the prof is too good, really nice person. In his email informing us about the viva, he wrote - "my request is all of you should come with pleasant faces" :D. The viva itself went off smoothly, thanks to Bansal ji. 

Sunday dinner in the mess is made to push you to go out and enjoy :) . And of course, such things are to be followed. Off we went to Richi Rich - last minute ditch by Vanki, not sure why/for whom ;-)
