Notes of a Wannabe ‘Professor’
After the conclusion of the social media workshop, I talk about some key learnings and how some experiments succeeded while some didn’t. Like I said in class abuses and brickbats were allowed and encouraged.

Social Media in Three Hours
These are the slide decks from the workshop I took in Symbiosis Institute of Business Management on social media. The classes were spread over three weeks with 2 hours each week. So it was totally 6 hours, which included 3 Hours of facilitation and 3 hours of case studies. Would appreciate feedback to improve the quality of teaching and content.
Into the Wild
Some movies change you. Into the Wild, is one of them. It’s not yet changed me, but it’s got me thinking a lot. The movie is about Chris McCandless who grew up in Annandale, Virginia, and died at age 24 in a wilderness area of the state of Alaska. After graduating in 1990 from Emory [...]
Courage Under Fire
Before I begin writing anything, I would like to put a small disclaimer here. Please don’t expect a direction, a moral, a conclusion or a happy ending in this article. I wrote many paragraphs individually and put them together under one heading – something that just sounded cool and with nothing more to it. I [...]
Growing up and moving on
The college days have been good, and not matter what we thought while we were at it, they were the simplest days of our lives. No really. When I think about the assignments we got, the tests we wrote, all of it – very simple. Don’t know why we cribbed so much about them. When [...]
Pune Blogger Meet
Listening Carefully, notice the fair guy? Martin, was planted there by us. A lot has been already said about the Pune Blogger Meet. It was meant to be personal and mostly for networking. Thats what it ended up being. I’d say mission accomplished. Lot of bloggers have showered praises for the meet. I am happy [...]
The Other Side
We have been called a lot of names of late. There is an old school of thought we are so full off; the other person is always WRONG! Its hard at times to even see from the other perspective. Shit happens at times but one has to really look into what could have been the [...]
Letting go
There comes a time in everyone’s life when one needs to let go of things and leave them to fate. Whatever happens is not of your concern anymore. But there are somethings that are so hard to let go, its not funny. All the years of toil and effort you put in, you don’t know [...]
Bit of everything
Its been more than a year since I came to Pune. Have been speaking to so many seniors from SIBM. They all have just one thing to say, ‘Gosh! We really miss the place’. I can’t stop wondering, what they are going through after passing out, I am going through now. No, I am not [...]
April Fool Day: The Google Way
Google can be fun! Never lose the opportunity. The links for the hoaxes are mentioned. Feel free to view them. But a gentle advice, don’t fall for them again! In 2000: Google MentalPlex The Google mentalPlex Google announced a new “MentalPlex” search technology that supposedly read the user’s mind to determine what the user wanted [...]
Then and Now….Evolution of an MBA
Another semester draws to a close. It would be too clichéd to say ; ‘Time Flies’. One year and life has totally changed. There is nothing common between what was then and what is now. it’s a good exercise to try and figure out how things have changed. My waist was 31, now its 34! [...]
Sleeping and getting up
Well the alumni meet at Bombay was good. Was good to catch up with seniors, some I met for the first time. Any about the alumni meet later. Something more important now, sleep. Went straight to Reena’s place after the meet. Well there were some 6 of us and we had to improvise. Reena and [...]
Writing an assignment at SIBM
1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well lit place in front of your laptop. 2. Log onto MSN/Yahoo/Gtalk (be sure to go on away!). Check your email. 3. Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it. 4. Walk down to NCC to pick some fags, to help u concentrate [...]
Do we need an MBA?
This post is dedicated to Corporate Interface Team, SIBM. Great job guys! 180807, we had Endeavour 2007. An entrepreneurship meet at SIBM. There was this one speaker – Mahesh Murthy (Passion Fund) who had absolute disregard for all MBAs. Imagine a guy standing on the stage and telling some 500 odd MBAs to take a [...]
Interim Team Interviews
What an experience! Interim Team interviews are finally done. What an awesome lot for the IT Team. They totally rocked! Got 37 applications and it really was not easy to choose amongst them. Everyone had something new to offer, other than of course web consultancy. It’s a new trend. People earlier used to say IT [...]
Mediocre But Arrogant…..and loving it!
Well it does seem strange to be so far away and yet so close. When I finished my degree and when I came all the way down here I don’t know. It happened so fast, within the the blink of an eye. I read “snapshots from hell”. Wow! What a read! I realized then what [...]
