Our course officially began today. Had the program inauguration in the morning. The keynote speaker was the country head for O&M who gave us some general gyaan on life and the importance of growing with an organization. The entire program got wrapped up in less than an hour following which we had our first set of lectures. Our first lecture was the Principles of Marketing, the prof. tried to make it relevant for all of us by referring to
this article. The second lecture was on Individual Dynamics, which was majorly a class discussion. People were discussing various issues that they faced in their organization (both good and bad). Post lunch tried to read a bit of Kotler's book on Marketing, but slept off after 5 pages, more because of my lack of sleep than the content of the book. Woke up and went to the mess for snacks,ended up spending almost an hour at the mess doing basically nothing!
During the inauguration got to know some interesting stuff about the batch profile. Out of 150 in our batch 86 have prior work experience(me thinks this is happening for the first time), sex ratio is 1:1(apparently its a coincidence, no conscious effort was made to achieve this ;-) ) and 47 people are from Maharashtra - mainly Bombay and Pune (Jai Maharashtra! ) . And Im also guessing more that half the batch has an engineering background.
Tomorrow we have a class conducted by one of the most popular profs. on campus whose pedagogy includes film screenings. Until then, over and out!
