Ek Ruka Hua Faisla

We had Prof. D. P. Ghosh of ICFAI visiting us over the weekend. He took 3 sessions in 'Integrated Marketing Communications' & 'Pricing'. There were a lot of takeaways from his Marketing class. He is an alumni of XLRI (73 batch).
We were also shown a movie on saturday as part of the MHB course. The name of the movie is "Ek Ruka Hua Faisla". The story goes like this -> 12 male members of a jury gather together in an enclosed room to deliberate their decision on a charge of murder against a young man who has been accused of killing his father. All of the jury, save for one, are convinced of this young man's guilt, and they would like to convince their colleague also to come to the same unanimous decision. However this dissenting juror slowly manages to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court. It's an adaptation of the English movie "12 Angry Men". Go & check it out (I mean the English version).

Adventure Trip

Hi guys, I'm back after a long hiatus. Some of you have mailed me. I'll try to write more regularly henceforth. We (GMP students) recently went on a three-day adventure trip co-ordinated by Tata Adventure Sports Foundation (TASF), Jamshedpur. This is a regular annual event to be taken up by all students.
This program aims to inculcate management lessons among the students the natural way. TASF, a professional body under dynamic leadership of Ms. Bachendri Pal, is engaged in organizing such adventure programs for corporates and institutions all over the country.
The three days trip involved students admiring the hardships of nature as well as actually enjoying the same by means of several exciting management games which brought out their mental and physical prowess to the fore. The events included rock-climbing, caving, trenching, abseiling at a place near Jamshedpur and water rafting at Dimna Lake.
Ms. Bachendri Pal, the first Indian women to climb Mt. Everest, gave a pep talk to the students on leadership skills. She was all praise for the enthusiasm and high degree of involvement shown by the students. The trip ended with the event of water rafting at Dimna Lake and the names of the overall group members were announced by a senior TASF official. The trip ended on a sweet note with recapitulations of learning spread over three days. GMP students were upbeat with the rigor and relevance of this program. Some of the learning's from the program include leadership skills, working in teams, building strategies, making optimal use of available resources, overcoming the fears of unknown, leadership, and introspection skills.
