Day 364 - 19th December 2011

The cough and cold pretty much ensured that I was bedridden for most of the day. Had to work on the semiotics assignment, major part of it was done with Sania's help. This is a really short post, cant write much about a day where most of the time was spent either sleeping or coughing :P

Day 359 - 14th December 2011

Played tennis in the morning for about an hour. Didnt have classes in the morning but had a company presentation at 1030 which went on for a couple of hours. Post lunch, managed to squeeze in a disturbed siesta. In the course of 2 hours, was woken up at least 4 times for different reasons. Played cricket in the Kachnar courtyard in the evening, following which had planned to start working on the semiotics assignment which was originally die tomorrow. Got a mail that the deadline got postponed to 19th of the month which meant the evening was relatively free. In continuation of going out for dinner over the past couple of weeks, went to Mainland China for dinner. The soup and starters itself were quite filling, so skipped the main course and went to Chocolate Room for desserts, the dutch truffle shake was a nice way to end a sumptuous meal! Got back to campus and did general tp on the net. Will make the most of the weather and call it a day early again!  

Day 325 - 9th November 2011

Had the second session of the semiotics workshop today. The faculty member discussed the rebranding exercises for Tanishq and Titan which he had worked on. The differences in rebranding for a jewelry brand and a watch brand were discussed. All in all a pretty interesting class. Had our first session on BFSI, we had an intro to the basics of a financial system. Was relatively free after the class was done. MCSA work took over in the evening. Post dinner had to get down to assignment submissions. Had a EM submission, the assignment was to come up with a storyline around a product/brand, wrote a story around blackberry messenger. The brief was not to make an advertisement for the product but to make the story revolve around it. Have a pre read for BFSI tomorrow, the class begins at 2 so will wake up in the morning and complete it. 

Day 316 - 13th October 2011

Had the first 930 start to the term. It was a double lecture of semiotics. For a lot of people from coming from  an engineering background this subject is a little difficult to grasp at the first attempt. Today’s sessions gave a brief introduction to Semiotics and went onto languages. Had left my laptop and books in the library last night, post the lecture came back to the library to continue working on the dissertation proposal. Spent the remainder of the day trying to wrap up the proposal since I wont be on campus starting Saturday. Met my dissertation guide in the evening and submitted my first draft of the proposal, she will get back to me tomorrow with feedback (fingers crossed!). Once that was done got down to the pending FIF1 work for the day. Posting this one from the library, will work for another half an hour before hitting the sack.
