Hmmm...
Makes me wonder abt the person that wants to have the cake and eat it too...I'm that man !!! To say that My days at IITM have been lovely so far would be an understatement......Playing TT,cricket,hanging out with friends,chatting with my seniors,the camradrie of the Hostel Mess and attending classes ALSO make it a gr8 experience..The teachers are slowly pushing up the tempo and there's not much pressure right now..So,I guess, we can chill out when the going's good.Our Lects range from the brilliant to the sleep-inducing !! The subjects that they handle probably contribute to that Cos each one is very well-qualified and holds his/her ground to a barrage of questions frm the students....Makes life a little more interesting when you actually look forward to the class that you are going to attend...Some others though make me think that the IIT"s need to do more research into anti-sleep drugs...Whatever it may be, it's all in all a very pleasant experience...Infact,so good that it makes me whimsical abt whether I should go to blore next week or not !!!
One of our lects is into Systems thinking and it's application in Mgmt...I beleive it's a fundamental subject to Mgmt and teaches us general problem-solving skills.......The class moves from the boring to the bizarre in a matter of seconds !!! Fundamental questions abt human beings are attempted to be answered(that's bcos that may be later applied to organizations whose building blocks are ppl)and I frankly donot know what to say abt a subject like this...Being from a tech. background( Dont ask me ques. on tech cos I just did it out of boredom....)it's hard for me to understand that the human mind can be understood even in the primitive sense !!! Thought-provoking though.....Very much at that..Come to think of it,most courses in this quarter(we go by a unique quarter system-different from the trimester practised by the IIM's since they hold advantages unique to us and us alone) have been very different from what I have learnt all my life and Fortunately enough for me,I feel at home in it...Feels like I have always wanted to do just this all my life...To know that I can influence and contribute to a decision that could possibly influence the lives of millions of ppl makes me feel wonderful and at the same time scared..What if I got it wrong,if and when,I DO get there ?????Hmm....Mein aur meri Tanhayee..Didnt I get that one right :>)
