  • death spiral

    This was the topic that took more than half of today’s managerial accounting class while it didn’t probably deserve a discussion for more than 5 minutes ….. all this just because some over-enthusiastic people kept on sharing their views no matter what. The ultimate stuff was that after more than…

  • “Supermen” of the campus

    Section A had their “T-shirt” day yesterday … their T-shirt is designed on the lines of Superman’s costume with an “a” at the centre in place of the “s”. Some people were even wearing red half-pants over their trousers in true Superman style. There are lots of submissions to be…

  • ISB lifts the Sierra Atlantic Cup

    ISB beat BITS (Pilani) in football today to lift the first Sierra Atlantic Cup. Stud had a major contribution in the win …. Stud and soccer are probably inseparable. There was a sizable crowd present to cheer both teams and the din created by the drums could be heard miles…

  • Hee hah !!!

    I am so happy !!!! Term 2 exams are over and I am off to Chennai for the next 3 days. Did better than expected in the Design Models and Optimization exam today. Expected was that I would probably just go through the question-cum-answer booklet and return it without doing/marking…

  • 2 down, 2 more to go

    Two exams got over today – Global Economics and Competitive Strategy. The competitive strategy paper, apart from what it was meant for, was also a test of whether we could keep writing so much stuff continuously for two hours. Its been ages since I have written so much by hand…
