really fast track..

I came out of the exam hall completely puzzled. I wasn't even sure whether I studied for the same subject over the weekend.

Such feelings may come, when the subject in question is Indian Philosophy and includes five books on:
- Upanishads
- Practical Vedanta
- Karma Yoga
- Bhagvad Gita
- Vivekananda Lectures

People took hundreds of years to compile and understand these scriptures and we covered them in 8 sessions only.. that's really fast track MBA!

Karma Yoga Project Inauguration

Dr. Saibaba, Director IGCAR formally inaugurated the Karma Yoga event.

As part of the project the institute is going to adopt 12 villages in the vicinity of Kalpakkam and students will work in groups for the development of these villages. The students will identify the key areas of improvement from among healthcare, education, sanitation etc and work on them for the next five months. The institute will facilitate students with all the necessities. IGCAR and Marg Constructions have also promised to support the students.


PS: Wrote this press brief as part of the application process to apply for college's Branding & PR committee. Though I couldn't make to the final list of the committee, but we'll start working soon on the Karma Yoga project.

My new abode

G2E (Ground floor, second block, Eth room) is my new address for an year.

Accomodation is on a single occupancy basis. The furniture range is from Godrej Interio.. I guess.. as Godrej is one of the promoters of the college.

Here are some pictures:

The first look: well lit n air-contioned..

Single bed, book-shelf, study table..

Outside view.. construction still going..

Cupboard, shoe-rack..

Warning: Room in pictures may appear more spacious than it is.
