okie met our fms bandhe...or at least some of em, hereiam, jas_maverick,shalinshroff and scorpion king...the last 3 on my floor of the hostel. wonder who all ive missed!! Quinty where are u??!!!

Man sometimes the mess food can be really crappy...thank god for the canteen!! ok the PlaceCom teams for Mumbai have left...doin support work for them right now...me leaving for blore and Chennai next week.

There was one of our alumni in for an interaction today and we were thinking about the drawbacks and strengths of our course... The biggest weakness is the bureaucracy and inefficiency of the mgt. For them its more an academic inst than a B school and hence classes more impt than any other activity. But the biggest strength is the sky is the limit to what we can do here as the biggest learnings are outside the class. We run every committee and we run our funds. We have our Student body funds collected at the beginning of the year and the students ourselves run the funds, and there is a General Body Meeting GBM every month to monitor the various committee activities and funding and spending!!! GBM's are pretty colorful occasions! not as bad as parliament but the pt being u wud be grilled in front of all the MHROD students and you have to come up with answers and get ur activities approved by the GBM.

I guess this is one very practical lesson in politics!!! But the point is if you have an idea...its upto you to do ur due dilligence and come with the groundwork and put up a proposal get it passed by the students and approved by the course coordinator. And they would really comb you with a knife. Its a lifetime's lesson in visualising an idea,working on it, selling it, getting it approved and making it work on the ground.

well i think ive figured out who these beautiful women on campus are... i have no emperical studies to validate my hypothesis but initial investigations suggest that these women are in the Dept of Sociology, DSE. 52 gals and 8 guys in a class.....I wonder why there is no scramble to get into this place... IIMs be damned!!

These are probably the not just beautiful but most smart women in delhi that i have come across as yet...ppl in FMS and DSE wud know what im talkin about....:whatthat:

[QUOTE=donB]

Here i am... sure i am... that you gonna have some overlap as far as courses are concerned. Probability of spotting you in the sociology dept looks high!
And man... u wouldn't have had a prblem in counting that number 52 manually eh
Nsoi nsoi.... chennai is dry as ever maghane.... ! And gimme a buzz while you are here.
:whatthat:

[donB]

yes ppl im back from a placecom trip to bangalore...we covered 75 companies in all...and the rest of the info is confidential!!

yes rambo im indeed thinkin of takin up a non credit course at the socio dept!! ....im serious

man bangalore is much better than delhi...if only they could do something about the traffic and burgeoning pollution...and as for the babe quotient is concerned...it dont compare with North Campus...but i wonder if the quality is better there....anyways wasnt around long enuff to find out.

As for the trip itself i visited some really cool offices and companies but the place i would really really love to work in is google!! they had by far the best office. Its on Vittal Mallya Road in Bangalore and im not goin to go into details beyond the reception area...they have this huge 9ft*15ft screen on which every google search made anywhere in the world in any language pops up in real time...this is barrin the porn searches of course...but just the sight of it all scrollin up the screen in real time...in diff scripts....man.......... ....google isnt recruiting....

Another strikin thing was most of the campus relations HR execs seemed to be around our age and mustve been barely out of college... that allowed for some really interesting conversations with some of the ladies

*bump*

just to let u ppl know that im very much alive here!!

Well we had our alumni dinner last sunday and had a pretty good turn out of about 160+ folks. It was a roaring party with everything flowing!!! Pragati maidan was the venue.

yes i should probably put up pics here....but im not in the media cell and its their freaking job!!!

Grrrr....im probably just ventin out a lot of steam here!! but let me just take a time out! My chennai placecom trip has been delayed because of the floods in AP and trains bein cancelled/diverted.

hey we got a good website. Do check it out. i think ive already put the address up but ill repeat it nevertheless coz its been updated http://mhroddu.org

[donB]

ok things happen a bit weirdly here but they happen nevertheless....
we have our dusshera break starting tomorrow but im leaving on a placecom trip to hyd and there to chennai for 5 days within which im to touch about 25 cos...and the guys left behind at delhi have to cover their NCR corporate presentations and to top it all placement seasons starts on the 17th....so much for a holiday....

[donB]

okkie hyderabad done...Chennai on the menu!!
Man i would never repeat NEVER work in Chennai. I gt so lazy when i get back home...I wonder if its the same for everyone. Lots of work to do here. Lot of companies to cover plus an alumni meet to organise. Lemme see what i can come up with in the next week to ensure a successful trip.

Having been to Blore, Hyd and now Chennai in the past month or so, I definitely feel that Hyderabad is better than Blore in terms of attraction for business. I might be biased in my opinion of Chennai so i wouldnt comment.

BUt if Chennai cannot be better in terms of visitor friendliness [read autowallas], and the public transportation system in general, it has got serious problems coming up.

I couldnt believe how polluted Blore was. At time I thought Delhi was better!!!!! Wonder if the garden city is in such a state what about the others!! Chennai hardly has a handful of parks worth its name or space. In Delhi every other housing society has a park. Didnt explore Hyd enuff to pass a judgement on that.

Okie whats the point of this post?.... I have changed my opinion of hyderabad and now wud def consider workin there, over Blore definitely!

fun at placecom....

ok placecom is an area where things are funny coz there is nothing else u can do but laugh bout it....tears have long been exhausted.

but something i came across today was seriously funny. There was this big co we came across in hyd that was rampin up big time. And apart from processin a req from their hyd office. i also sent a feeler to our guys to hit a presentation at the cos NCR headoffice. So they mailed in a req for appt to the HR head there.

Just saw their reply. Appt granted right on Day Zero with 4 GD's slotted at that time!!!! I can only imagine Senior Placecoms faces!! hahahaha......ohhhhhhh......coz all the seniors are sittin for those four GDs and the juniors are supposed to handle all matters on that day!!...this is classic!!
These are teh moments my signature makes sense!!

[donB]

now here comes the classic Bschoolers quandry...

I have to study for my upcoming exams as well as ensure that committee work goes on.....Grrrr....

ah well managers have to manage!!
