New Mail....


Hi Ganesh,

Thanks for your mail

True it’s been quite some time since my last mail And I could see this mail coming but was getting lost with words

Fortunately for me all those lovely email exchanges about attendances, submissions (no offence meant or else I fear there will another string of emails exchanged and this time unfortunately I will be a party to it ……oh my God! Industrial Relations) there was hardly anything left for me to write about Those exchanges made me realize we have people in our class who write well, really well Probably that’s the reason I lost my words

Anyway there other reasons as well why I did not write Through some reliable sources (its confidential you know) I learnt half the class enjoys my mail and half the class doesn’t Another half does not even bother to read Another half thinks I am drunk when I write Yeah……&hel lip; I know too many halves but who said mathematics is simple I am right now working on a statistical model for optimizing the remaining half (confused, so am I)

That just reminds me of something that I am well aware of As per the law you can’t drink and drive and I believe it’s true to the best of my knowledge However I am yet to come across a law that forbids to drink and write Till such a law comes into being you can assume I will write (God, save those all those souls who hate to see my mails )

So after long prologue, let’s get back to what has been happening in class throughout the trimester

First we got some real challenging mystery that only Sherlock Holmes can solve – The Mysterious Informer in Disguise (you are requested to better to title to suit your intellectual) Yep, there’s a traitor in US, oops! I mean in us Not US They already have one Osama Bin Laden, their own brain child Unfortunately, ours is not our brain child Had we known who he / she is then unlike the US we would closed in on him or her and how The problem with US is they know who the mischief is but don’t know where he is hiding The problem with us is we don’t know who the mischief is but surely know he is hiding amongst us (I see an opportunity for strategic alliance and international business…… …if one half could take the initiative to do environment scanning, Porter’s Diamond Analysis, such strategies used by other nations, PEST Analysis, Tariff and Non – Tariff Barriers, Entry and Exit Strategies…&helli p;……&helli p; I hope that’s enough work
for us to collaborate extensively with the US to find out who he/she is My list got over The lectures got over…… but don’t know why the projects required to cover international business never seem to get over)


IF this was not enough……we got new head honcho from the IIM of A in college……w ho literally thought us to be MBA students He forgot to read or add the PT and made us loose our sleep Imagine the time we had to waste writing and reading all those mail exchanged just for sake of attendance

Moreover he set the college on fire with more projects, more assignments, more attendance I doubt if he worked with Pepsi (Remember Yeh Dil Maange More) or may be perhaps TATA Motors (Correct…… more car per car) These days the word “more” scares me So I need not say anything more……&hel lip; help!!!!


Then the heated debate about attendance…that was something we wasted a lot of time with our heads banging on wall that was never going to fall But we were all convinced we were fighting for something worth while after all it’s a question of our career I can’t differ or challenge the class on that It really stressed us all a lot I am happy that it’s over atleast for this trimester

But looking at the funny side of it ……I feel all we had to do was to bell the cat and bail each other out The best part was we all agreed to it But then we all had our own version that we had to bell the cat One half said the cat had to be belled The other half said bell the cat The other half said it’s time to bell the cat One more half thought it better to have the cat belled Ultimately everyone got lost about which was the cat and which was the bell and why the cat had to be belled or why bell the cat or why the other half was talking about it in first place

Then in the interim people exchanged and seconded mails as if there was no tomorrow and then someone said there is a tomorrow after all and that tomorrow is in class with everyone around So everyone was happy Then the debate followed

Then again people started slogging it out through mails, this time over submission of assignments Again tomorrow was lost Keeping aside the point it came to point who wrote the most lengthy mail and who defended and how Then it dawned on someone again to remind there’s a tomorrow and it’s in the class Then nothing happened after that

Fortunately our head honcho from IIM of A still has his senses intact and time table was nothing much to bother about or there by killing me an opportunity to write about

I am marking this copy only to you You can pass it on to the group if you find it interesting But then the chances of next mail might be even bleak

Yet I hope to keep writing

Do revert with your feedback

The Power We Yield - A Reflection on Meiyazhagan

I recently watched a Tamil movie that left me reflecting deeply on the intricate, often unseen threads of connection that bind us to others. Despite having watched it twice and appreciating its nuanced storytelling, I still struggle to pronounce the name of the mysterious relative, Meiyazhagan . The name may evade me, but the emotions it evokes resonate deeply. The story unfolds with Arul, a man who embarks on an emotional journey to reconnect with his roots. During his visit to Thanjavur, Arul is shown his childhood bicycle, now a cherished relic in the home of a relative he barely remembers. The bicycle, meticulously maintained, symbolizes resilience and love—it once served as a livelihood tool for the family and now stands as a "god" in their household. The relative, referred to as Nandhini’s husband, shows unwavering affection and generosity toward Arul, despite the latter's inability to recall his name or their shared history. This anonymity does not dimi...

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

The 70+ Hour Work Week Debate: An Intentional Grab for Attention or a Serious Commentary?

The recent debates surrounding the idea of a 70+ hour work week have sparked intense reactions, drawing both applause and criticism. While some view it as a badge of honor for high achievers, others see it as an outdated notion that glorifies burnout. But a deeper question emerges: is this debate merely a deliberate attempt to grab eyeballs and enjoy a fleeting hour of glory? In today’s media-driven world, controversial statements often gain disproportionate attention, flooding news feeds and capturing the public’s imagination. Leaders making such proclamations may find themselves in the limelight, relishing the buzz around their bold, albeit polarizing, remarks. But at what cost does this attention come? The Underlying Risks and Downsides The glorification of excessive work hours raises several pressing concerns: Burnout Culture : Does endorsing 70+ hour work weeks perpetuate a culture where exhaustion is equated with success? How does this impact mental health and well-be...
