Impressions...of the First Kind

Another few days went missing on my blogosphere. And this wasn't because I did not have anything to write but more because i was busy coping up with a new way of life called IRMA.
So we are almost into our third week of classes here and there have already been loads of things to write down. Finishing off the boring acads part first... The profs are really good...sitting in class i sometimes imagine what wud i do if i did not know this....and 'this' here could be anything about human behavior, accounts, economics etc etc. The rural part of management keeps popping its head up every now and then and at least i enjoy it :)
Though quite a few ppl here who wud like to end up in a corporate job after two years sometimes hate it. So talking about people... got a chance to meet quite a few of them. Met some wierdos and some extraterritorial species as well... the sex ratio is pretty normal for an MBA school (30:110) i guess. Haven't interacted with the girls much as we have loads of people trying to catch their attention. We have what i must call the attention grabbing syndrome all around. so what was seen at a smaller scale during engineering is now done at a larger scale. Probably so because people are pretty experienced here and confident as well...we had our student council elections yesterday after lots of political speeches and canvassing. Thank god its over...
Exams and quizzes keep coming at you like bullets from a machine gun here and so just two weeks after our induction, we realize that we are two weeks away from our first midterms... :|
I know there s more waiting to unfold as days go by here...and there ll be more to learn :)

Another reason for the scale up in the syndrome apart from higher confidence and experience could be that the people here are more aged, nearer to marriage and so have less time and are more desperate to get girlfriends!! :P:P

A Tough Ask??

As i walk along the crowded pavement towards the market, i cannot help but notice a man sitting by the lamp-post. He is shabbily dressed to say the least. Every now and then he waves his hands in an attempt to shoo off the flies that seem to be feasting on his legs. His clothes are tattered and his face looks sullen like he has been suffering from some disease for a long long time. This isn't the first time i am seeing him here. Nor is it that his condition today is worse than what it has been before. Just that today, there is a burning desire within me, to find out what drives this man and what it is that he wants from his life. Is it money ??? But how long will a few dollars last? That won't change his life forever. He ll be found here again, once he has wasted his cash on a few drinks in the city bar. Is it education ??? Does education guarantee success? or peace or freedom? What do you teach a guy who has spent more than half his life watching educated people run

The Art of Living 'DIRTY'

Thoughts expressed here are those of the author himself and he will not be held responsible for any consequences, whatsoever they may be, emanating out of trying to follow him in his myriad endeavors! Lessons in hygiene that i have been taking from a variety of people keep ringing in my head all the time. Initially, there were moms and teachers who told us to not to throw our socks here and there after school and now, there are girlfriends who never mind giving lectures on how to keep your room clean. But, one just wonders, what if the importance of hygiene was twisted on its head to mean the importance of non-hygiene???            The idea flashed through my head during one of those discussions about field-work that are a common exercise in IRMA. Just to give the unaware a bit of light, field-work is a part of our curriculum here where we are supposed to live in a village for two months and come out of it alive. I mean, you have to be alive enough to present reports having 15000 - 2

The CM's Good Governance Fellowship Chhattisgarh: An outsider's perspective

The Government of Chhattisgarh has recently launched the CM's Good Governance Fellowship to provide young enterprising minds with an opportunity to contribute to the development of the state by using their IT and Project Management skills. While the nitty gritty about the application process is available online on http://cmggfcg.in , most applicants would have doubts about the job role and benefits of joining the programme. This blog post is my attempt to share my perspective on these. For a brief background, I am a rural development professional having worked at the District and State level in Chhattisgarh (mostly on rural development issues) in a similar fellowship called Prime Minister's Rural Development Fellowship ( PMRDF ) over a period of 4 years from 2012 to 2016. So, as mentioned CMGGF is looking for bright individuals to contribute to the development of Chhattisgarh by bringing in their technical  and project management skills that the government system often l
