Vanakkam Sangamam 2013

A college with myriad cultural backgrounds never ceases to dull down. Itâ€™s that time of the year in which a series of celebrations take place in different parts of south India. Bringing this zeal on campus, students together organised Sangamam2013. A confluence of South India kick started with the Uriyadi, a pot breaking competition, where students have to hit a pot hung from rope, blind-folded.

Hot Sunday evening, the grounds turned to a battle field with men marching down and preparing to show off their masculinity. A game of tug-of-war began with a humongous rope, which could probably be used to tow ships! Students divided into teams of two and the tipping of the rope over the line began. Simultaneously, the cafeteria was decorated with beautiful rangoli designs done adeptly by students.

The cultural evening started with a devotional song and a traditional dance by PGP2 women folk. With graceful steps and swaying moves they captured hearts and left an everlasting pride for our culture. Bringing in the local dance forms, students put up brilliant, energetic performances one after the other. As an irrefrangible rule, all the men folk graced the stage in dhotis and an additional aviator sunglasses added spunk to the attire. Challenging these performances, men in suits and women in patialas from Punjab gave a power packed dance. Ultimately, a confluence in true sense.

As the curtains were drawn in, students rushed to experience the final and grand feature of south Indian culture, a banana leaf meal. A smorgasbord of dishes was served which could satiate hunger just at sight. Leaves were neatly laid down and volunteers swiftly and efficiently served the meal in batches and managed the growing crowd. With food in opulence, celebration of music, art and dance, over the years, has only lead to strong relations and respect for one anotherâ€™s culture and values. GIM -a place to be, a world to see!

Sunday Morning. 10th Feb.

It's 9 a.m and I get a Call. As usual, I don't welcome any calls in the morning..

Because I go to sleep at around 6-7 a.m. Later in the day, when I woke up, I realized that I missed an important call..

Call was from one of my friends who was trying to call me for MILSIM. For those of you who don't know what MILSIM is, it is a military simulation game..

The aim of this game is to give the public and corporate a glimpse of the way of life of the military in the battlefield and a sense of how to incorporate the same in their daily lives and work environments. MILSIM was in Campus and what a chance it was for GIM Students to play MILSIM inside the campus. I woke up at 12 p.m and it was no surprise that Half of the Updates and Pics on Facebook was related to MILSIM..

I thought of making it up by enjoying Inception which was scheduled in the evening. Booze was officially allowed in the Campus during the Event..

UB Group was one of the sponsors for Inception and KF Beer Bottles were on sale at a very cheap price. I grabbed a couple of KF Beer bottles

and reached the Amphi-Theatre where Inception had started. It was all Lighted and crowded @ Amphi-Theatre. It started with the individual performances and then the Band "AGNYA" taking over. "AGNYA" brought out fusions that were never heard before with strong guitar strums and drum beats that left the heart dance to their tunes..

In the meanwhile, I grabbed another couple of KF Beer Bottles..

The evening welcomed more performances by the students and ended with a jamming session with the band. An evening that was filled with music, food and drinks brought people together and made Inception 3.0 one of the most exuberant cultural events of the country..

As I write this post, I realize that now there are only 26 more days of MBA Life left for me and my batch-mates. I have already made a big list of things to do in these final days. Hoping to complete everything..

It seems it will be a very tight finish similar to a T-20 Thriller...

@facebook said:
Day-1Life couldn’t have been any more awesome; I murmured to myself thanking all the thousands of Gods for everything they had done for me. Here I was, semi-naked, lying on a sun-bed sipping up my fourth bottle of Heineken since morning and giving cheeky smiles to those Israeli female tourists. The music in the background was dissolving like chocolate in my ears until some stupid bell started to ring. The noise was getting louder, almost unbearable, extremely irritating till it reached its peak like a parabolic equation. And then bang, I was up throwing my iPhone down in frustration and the alarm was off! I had screwed up once again. I had only 15 minutes to catch a train, probably the most important train of my life; Goa Sampark Kranti.Finally, the day had arrived. After more MBA interviews than the number of IPL matches per team this year, so many entrance exams, and applying to colleges where I know I couldn’t get in; here I was ready to join Goa Institute of Management, God’s own B-School. I had converted in the 1st list; I had the feeling I will. I never thought that non-engineering background was a luxury until I had my GIM interview. I had gathered all the info from a legend called Avinash Jha, our senior in GIM, oops! a PGP2. I was part of the Facebook group and just added 40 people in my friend-list that I didn’t know anything about.I can skip the journey part cause it sucked, although I did watch about four and half movies, ate crap food and slept like a junkie for most of the time. I had booked a room at OGR (Old Goa Residency) and there were three of us who got down at Karmali Railway Station and shared a cab to OGR. There is one thing we Indians are good at; it’s called “Contri”. Be it food, travel expanses, rent, cabs or anything else, it works everywhere. I spent the night in Karmali and shared the cab till our campus in Sanqlim next day, registration was supposed to take place today.Registration was smooth and fast enough till we reached Room No 13 in the Academic Block. I mean come on, how could they have Room No 13, isn’t there a bad luck shit involved with 13? There were people standing in the queue or should I say queues. Hostel rooms were being allotted and once again it was “ladies first”. Another WTF moment, why could the girls hostel allotment not be done simultaneously in another room? They were obviously going to stay in a different Hostel block. I had felt sexually discriminated so many times before, but this one could have been avoided. Got the hostel room keys after 5 hours and the humidity in Goa didn’t help. I was glad it was over.This is it, officially a GIM student from today onwards. I was proud of what I had achieved, met so many new people with whom I will share probably the best two years of my life. Then it started to rain, the super active FB group members passed by without saying hello, the room was full of bugs and ants and what not, the electricity was as erratic as the weather, the Cafeteria was more of a mess than a cafeteria, there was not a single beach nearby, no Israeli female tourists, no music in the background, no beer bottles, no fun. Is this the Goa I had dreamed of, I questioned myself? The answer was no. But my dream was more of a perception than anything else. Even the reality is more of a perception. “PGP2s will come next week. May be then it will be more fun”, I convinced myself. Then I looked at the mountains, so beautiful, so untouched, so unaltered, so natural, so peaceful, so relaxing. The biscuit I dipped in the tea had broken in half and fell down in the cup. All izz well, my heart felt.A new story had started, for around 240 young faces. Faces with dreams and hopes, story of joy, friendship and possibly love. Every face has a story to tell, a story similar yet so different, this is just one of them. Life suddenly had a new meaning. There was more to it than packages, appraisals, hikes, on-sites, parties, targets and deadlines. Life got on a new track. A new innings had started and somewhere in the mountains, a new cloud was taking guard.PS- This is a work of fiction, similarities if found are truly coincidental. But under any circumstances, this is not GLOBAAL!!!

wow..

This post is not about GIM Campus. This is about my mystery shopping assignments. I work as a mystery shopper with a leading mystery shopping company. This is kind of part time and whenever I have leisure time and don't feel excited about going to beaches, I take up a mystery shopping assignment. So, here it goes, a mystery shopping experience.

It was a pleasantly sunny morning and I was all geared up, ready to explore the highways of Goa. It was a date, a date with my favourite Bike. I accelerated and soon had the wind frisking my hair. The shining sun overlooked and observed me in action. It was going to be a long day, 180 Kilometres were yet to be covered!

This is not an autobiography of a Biker. This is an account of a mystery shopper who covered 180 Kilometres in a single day.

My first reaction, on receiving the call to conduct the audits was “This is impossible”. By the way, an audit is an assignment that is given by a mystery shopping company to the mystery shopper. You need to evaluate a shop and check if the guidelines laid down by the clients are followed. The clients here are of the mystery shopping company. If you want to know in detail, PM me.

So, I received these assignments (audits) and had to complete in 1 day. I realized that this was my chance to disguise myself as a “Biker”. I had to cover 180+ KMs in one day!
I reached my 1st shop after 1 hour covering 40 KMs. After completing the audit, I proceeded towards the 2nd shop. It was already lunch time and the shopkeeper was in no mood to entertain customers. I initiated my assignment by asking him the requisites. The response was not good as the shopkeeper was busy wrapping up other customers to proceed for lunch. Finally, I decided to return after half an hour.

I tried killing time and grabbed some snacks. When I returned, to my horror, the shop was closed! Yes, this is what we call the “Susegad” culture in Goa. Most of the shops remain closed from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. I kept on cursing myself for choosing a bad time. Later, I conducted the audit and also completed the subsequent audits. In total, I evaluated 6 shops by the end of day and completed my assignment. But, I had to race hard against time! Phew!

So, finally, apart from making quick bucks, I learnt an important lesson. Never go “mystery shopping” in afternoon when in Goa. You are busy shopping, but others are sleeping. Shhh !

Feb is the most happening month here at GIM. The details will come later, but as of now, I am writing about things to do in and around Goa when you are not busy studying or motivating team members to contribute in assignments & projects. No, I am not talking about beaches here. So keep reading to...

After spending 2 years in Goa, I have realized that your life should be full of good experiences. The experiences I am talking about are mentioned below.

1) Casinos !

Casino is a unique experience in Goa. You can spend a nice evening in Casino which provides complete entertainment package. You have F&B; on the house along with live entertainment. Depending on different days, there are various performances. Starting for Jazz and Pop, there are also Bollywood nights, Old classics night and much more. You can check the schedule on the website.

You can spend the whole night here as it is open 24x7.

2) Arpora Saturday Night Market !

Foreigners set up their stores and you are invited to take a look at them. Arpora Saturday Night market is bigger that your greatest imagination. It is so huge that to cover it fully will require two Saturdays.

You can find the best of shops which exhibit great collection. Be it accessories, foot wear, clothes or fashion stuff. You will find it here. You can also enjoy live entertainment here.

3) Fort Chapora !

The "Dil Chahta Hai Fort"! I am not taking you to a beach but a spectacular view of it. The fort is situated between Vagator Beach and Morjim Beach. The fort is a little trek and as you ascend the slope, you discover more. When you reach at the top, the view will mesmerize you and leave you spellbound.

4) Go Karting !!

Go Karting is another activity which you can do when in Goa. There are two Go Karting tracks in Goa. One is located in Verna and the other one in Arpora. The one in Verna is better. If you go to Verna, you can also go to MilSim which is basically "Paintball".

The timing is from 4 PM to 10 PM. The track remains closed on Monday.

5) River Rafting @ Dandeli

After Go Karting, if you feel that you need some more adrenaline rush, you can visit River Rafting at Dandeli. A little excursion from Goa, Dandeli is situated in Karnataka. However, it is not that far either. Dandeli is located approx 140 KMs from Panjim.

The drive to Dandeli is also good. When you reach Dandeli, there are lots of activities to do. But, river rafting is the best adventure you can do here. Please book your Rafting activity through a reliable travel agent in Dandeli well in advance. The river rafting here is quite famous and without booking, chances to get a slot are lesser.

So, these are the 5 things apart from the beaches. Hope to see you around here :)
