Experiences

Experiences

Ok this post has been long overdue. I have been asked by my friends about why am I not updating my blog now. I had never thought that I would become this irregular at my blog although I have been willing to write.

Anyways i came here to talk about experiences. In our marketing class so many times talks have surfaced about the ego-expressive products and how they are more linked to experience rather than features.

I have been through so many experiences in last 2 months that its impossible to list them down here. Many of them I would refrain from posting here because they are like treasures. You don't share them. They are meant to be experienced.

Let me present few glimpses of the experiences I have felt here.

• Sitting in L1 listening to the lecture, instantly my eyes get glued at the podium with emblem of IIM Calcutta printed on it. And I feel an extra flow of blood through my veins. I am at IIM Calcutta...
  
• Preparing for FinAcc quiz the next day I study through the night just to catch the glimpse of early dawn and realize that I have only 2 hours to sleep. Fall asleep while thinking of all this without setting alarm for the morning. 15 minutes before class, subconsciously realize that I have a quiz and wake up in sudden urgency.
• After mere 2 hours of sleep in the night I sit through one and a half hour class of Prof. LeenChat about theory of Erik Erikson with eyes wide open and a feeling of awe in my mind. Could feel sleepy only 2 hours after the class got over.
  
• In the Session 12 of Stats, thump (at IIM Calcutta we dont clap, we thump) the hardest to welcome Prof RaMu who came to take a compensatory class (he is the most admired teacher here). 2-3 minutes of continuous thumping and welcoming only to get followed up by another more vigorous round after his brief speech. We love RaMu.
• Writing the mid-term paper of MicroEcon set by Prof. Arijit Sen with a smile on the face and feeling proud after analyzing every question. MicroEcon indeed is much more than just linear equation in two variables as I had believed in college.
• Sitting through the lecture of Prof. Arijit Sen and wondering what good had I done in my life to deserve such a fine teacher.
• Wondering how logical and interesting Marketing can be if it is taught by Prof Prafull Agnihotri as compared to reading from Kotler and Keller.
• Headbanging all through the night while standing just below the stage where JBS performs and shouting JBS rockks as hard as I can...
• Sitting on jetty staring into the early dawn just behind the green skyline created by the trees along the lake.
• Waking up at 4 in the morning to capture Early Morning @ Joka.
• Studying in my room, spotting a beautiful bird in the grass through my window and running to get hold of my camera to capture it.
  

There are thousands more such instances and cultural influences of IIM Calcutta I can recount but don't want to blog about. As I said IIM Calcutta is a treasure. Let me preserve it for future.

Joka Rockks!!!
