Day 170 - 11th January 2011

Had only 3 lectures today, two of them on Non Verbal Communication which was about reading body language and one on MDA which was on regression analysis. The MDA prof. has made it very clear that there are 6 techniques to be taught and every technique will take about 3 lectures, so if we are to miss his lectures we should bunk the lectures for an entire technique otherwise it will make no sense! Anyways got done with that and had some major ARC work lined up, we had to figure out what could be done regarding the culture and communication course. The faculty member who generally takes the course will not be able to conduct it this time around and we will be getting a Danish professor teaching us. We also had a long chat with the area head of Cultural studies and got to know a lot about this place wrt how it has always tried to be different from other management schools and how much importance has been given to the communication aspect. Got done with that by 430, because of the ARC work I missed out on playing a PGP1 v/s PGP2 cricket match in the afternoon. PGP2 won the match pretty easily.

Had to go to ISCON in the evening to buy earphones, I realised that I was pretty handicapped without them. In one of our marketing classes we learnt that in a retail store 60% of the purchases are unplanned and today I was the perfect case study for the same :P Was back on campus by 7. Went to the gym to make up for the guilt of not exercising for quite sometime now. Have been doing general tp since dinner, will call it a day in a while.
