Random Thoughts

Right now I am sitting in the library. It’s really a nice idea to sit in the library, especially in the evening, facing this park or field or whatever and to write for my blog. So I am going to make it a habit to write one or two pages for my blog everyday...well almost.

Today we had a guest lecture. It was a very amazing lecture by a very good speaker. I noticed that half the class was sleeping. I think most of the people are so lost in getting good grades, that anything that is not directly related to grades doesn't interest them. they are not ready to take part in it. Here I don’t want to undermine the importance of grades. I know, grades are “the” most important thing here and I will try my best to graduate from this college with very good grades. But I am shocked to see, how people are not looking for overall improvement in their personality.

By joining this B-school I am paying a huge cost of opportunity. If after two years I don’t see any significant improvement in my personality, in my behavior and in my view point about the world within and outside then I guess it’s not worth doing an MBA.

I know I am giving lot of Gyaan, but today I am in a mood to talk to myself. So readers can simply skip this post.

In the lecture the speaker talked about importance of communication, both written and oral. And I guess I want to improve my written and oral communication skill. That’s a thing I want to do on a high priority basis. I know writing a blog would have very small role in improving my written communication skill. But I guess it would be better than not writing anything at all.

Now let me write something about today’s quiz. I got highest in Economics quiz. No it was not because of hard work. It was smart wrok. I tried studying ecpnomics yesterday night, but somehow I was not able to grasp the subject. May be my retarded mind was a hindrance in the process. But nevertheless I tried till 2am. Yesterday night I declined a daaru invitation, I tried like a fighter. But with that level of preparation I would have got three or four marks.

Today just before the quiz Maniks-the-Mecanics ( ya in India guys have strange names ) gave me a link of a website which had solution to all assignment questions. First tool used for smart work was using network resources, second was effective use of information technology. I did the smart work and mugged up all the answers and solutions. It was not a surprise that nine out of fifteen questions were from the assignments. So I cracked it. I got the highest, this was second time I got highest in my entire life. People also never expected me to get highest, so they started asking for a treat. I was a bit surprised because in every exam someone gets a highest but the whole class never asks for a treat. I guess people have realized what kind of export quality moron I am, who is not expected to get a highest in a small quiz.

“Shall I do anything to change that perception?”
Ya… Its high time I shall do that!
