Pune Diaries : Looking ahead

So here I am thrown into this weird world of management studies wherein every person is supposed to be gulpin down Peter Drucker books and becumin the next Narayana Murthy!!!Welll lazy fella Im me never had ne such outrageous ambitions and always thut of somethin beyond the material wants of life (okie there is some element of truth involved in it). So I start of with my studies n try to present an insider view of the much touted about mba. Well for starters everyone is given lottta advice on the benefits of readin economic times. Duh! If everyone wudabeen able to make out wats written there im sure we wud be havin dozens of Manmohan Singh/Chidambaram frm every bskool. So what have I been doing since joining?....Well I'm still tryin to understd wat collaboration,merger,stakes,divestments really imply.....I'm sure I'll learn some of them at the end of my 2 yrs. Another point me learned is that at this level possibly ppl I mean the faculty has certain changes in their mindset. A lot of practicality comes into teachin which is good in a way but at the same time its can be a disadvantage if the basics are nt strong So right now I'm workin on my finance n management basics which are as alien to me as Australia losin the next world cup!!! But needa admit one thing we got some amazing professors who have completely mesmerised me wid their fundas of mgmt world n all. Lemme see if I can feed in some more thoughts in the days to come......
