Day 281 - 31st July 2011

Today was the first day of Managing Media Businesses(MMB), a core concentration elective in the media management area. An alumnus of the college who runs his own media firm is conducting this course. The discussions initially revolved around the fact whether media is a product or a service and what is more important content or distribution. He gave us some more fundas about the media space before dividing us into groups who then had to pitch to him (a VC) about a new media business that we wanted to launch. Our group worked on an in car entertainment system for private taxis. He grilled us like a VC would and we realised how much thought and effort needs to go into making a business plan.

Class got done at 530 after which we had Palaash dance practice. The freshers culnite was supposed to begin at 10 in the night and we had one last chance to get the dance right :P Culnite was OK, I personally feel it got stretched a little. It went on for nearly 2 and a half hours and culminated in the Palaash dance. A special mention also needs to be made for the Parijat dance, they put up a fantabulous performance and the most commendable part was they maintained the element of surprise till the very end! Culnite was followed by the freshers party. Have a class tomorrow as well so cant stay up for too long.

Day 29 - 25th July 2010

Sunday bloody Sunday :D another night out. This time it was spent dancing in the rain courtesy the freshers party. The dance floor was packed even after sunrise! Was awesome fun. My kerchief dance made its debut at MICA :D A nice way to cap one month at Shela.

Apart from that a relatively relaxed day. Slept in the afternoon to ensure that I would stay up for the entire duration of the party. Its been raining incessantly over here, its either the irritating drizzle or its been pouring heavily. In spite of that we played cricket on the badi court. Its fun playing with a wet tennis ball, its literally impossible to bat, it comes towards you like a scud missile!

Before the freshers party the seniors put up a culnite for us. Lots of MICAn traditions out there also. But the highlight of the show for me was the 'legends on stage' act - an electric guitarist and a drummer played this Shloka. Its amazing how a tune played on an electric guitar sounds so different from the original tune, reminded of the time when I heard national anthem being played on an electric guitar in Bombay, gave me goosebumps.

If this is post seems to be a string of unrelated events or thoughts, please forgive me for that, a night out dancing in the rain and going to sleep at a time when my alarm clock generally rings are the causes :-P
