Another week begins. Had only 3 lectures today, thanks to that got done by 1230. The IMEI double lecture was interesting in bits and pieces - today's topic was the evolution of the print industry in India. The part which I found the most interesting was the innovative ways used by newspapers to circumvent the restrictions imposed during the Emergency. PM focused sales strategies today and the highlight of the class was the 15 minute discussion on the statement "A good salesman can sell a comb to a bald man" :-D some major DCP happened in class and it was hilarious, with some people even saying that he would be selling hope!
The weather improved considerably today, finally saw the sky after ages,but the joy was shortlived. I went to sleep in the afternoon at around 230 when it was bright and sunny outside, when I woke up a couple of hours later it was dark and gloomy and it had rained! But as the saying goes, for every dark cloud there is a silver lining(pun intended). Thanks to the incessant rains, couple of rooms on the first floor of Palaash are facing severe seepage problems. My room is one of them, so as a stopgap arrangement we've been moved to Asoka, the hostel for visiting faculty and international exchange program students :-) This hostel is like a 5-star hotel - swanky new rooms, attached (clean) bathrooms, intercom in every room and there are even paintings in each room to add to the aesthetic value :-D A refreshing change for 4-5 days though Im waiting to go back to Palaash.
The assignment deadlines have started nearing. Have submissions on the 13th,16th and 19th. Worked on the ID assignment which has to be submitted on 13th. Hope to start working on the others soon but for the time being will enjoy the temporary luxuries of Asoka.
