  • Football match ends in a draw

    The football match between Sections C & D ended in a 1-1 draw 😦 . Section B beat section A 5-1 in another match. Most of the players got dunked after the matches got over, as a token of appreciation for the efforts they put in. There is a volleyball…

  • Its weekend :-(

    Its weekend and we again have assignments to complete. The load is supposed to be less as compared to last week as we need not submit the marketing assignment for grading this time. Thinking of going to the city tomorrow. Have seen the ISB gate only once since I arrived…

  • Foxed

    We have name cards here indicating our seat in the class. Yesterday, somehow the name cards got shuffled (accidentally, as claimed) and the seating arrangement was the exact mirror image of the usual one. It was real fun watching people getting into the class, seeing someone else sitting in their…

  • The plot thickens !!!

    Our professors are really humorous, especially the ones for stats and marketing. Their instant wit rocks !!!! Heard this yesterday from a friend of mine in the other section: The stats prof (Robert Stine) was showing some data which didn’t seem to follow any pattern. The distribution seemed to grow…

  • First assignment over !!!

    My study group finished the first serious assignment of Term1 just a few minutes back. It was a marketing case study. Hope the solutions proposed don’t come as a shock to the professor … will have to wait and watch his reactions in the class tomorrow. Hope he doesn’t read…

  • Basketball match ….

    All students in the campus are busy with the assignments. But this didn’t prevent us from having a basketball match between two of the sections. As you would expect, my section lost, though by a very small margin of 2 points. Of course, I was not playing. But I did…

  • First week of classes over !!!

    First week of classes got over yesterday. I have a huge backlog and we all have assignments to complete and submit before Monday, 8AM. Yesterday, there was a party at one of our student villages. Looks like there will be a party every Thursday night. All profs teaching us are…

  • Classes begin !!!!

    We had our first class of Term 1 yesterday- “managerial economics” taken by Prof. Amit Bubna of ISB. Prof Amit looks really young. You could easily mistake him for one of the students. He connected well with us. We then had a “marketing management” class taken by Prof. Scott Ward.…

  • Talent Nite followed by Labour Day

    Yesterday we had the “Talent Nite” where the stundents of Class of 2006 and their families showcased their talent on stage. We had songs sung by the music group, traditional kuchipudi dance recital, salsa, tango, bhangra, kids fashion show, lifestyle show (fashion show put up by the Class of 2006),…

  • Party, party and party hard …..

    Yesterday night, our batch threw a big farewell party for all alumni who were there on campus. They have been extremely helpful and this is the least we could probably do as a mark of appreciation from our side. They were offered free beer. I came back from the party…

  • Dunking + other regular stuff

    Dunking is one of the traditions started by the founding batch (or the batch next to it …. I am not sure) and is religiously followed every year. The birthday boy or girl is dunked into the campus swimming pool. It usually happens that one or two more innocent souls…

  • I am back …..

    We had a session on Leadership Development Programme taken by Prof. Rajeshwar Upadhyaya yesterday. He was simply awesome. He was one guy who knew how to control arbit questions in the class and answer only the meaningful ones. We will be seeing more of him in the next two weeks.…

  • The wait is over !!!!!

    Feels really good ……. after all the wait, I am finally a part of ISB’s Class of 2006 !!! Apologies (to anyone reading this blog) – I had promised to update this fairly regularly but its a long time since I wrote anything. I will partly blame this on the…
