So my first post out of Kozhikode...a bit late because with the superb weather and scenery around, it's actually painful to sit in your room/CC and write a blog (or pretty much do anything else :(... )
...
Anyways, as per my first impressions, more than being than anything else, a B-school is amongst the best places to meet and experience people. But of all kinds...
Contrary to the office, people here are generally loud/pushy/argumentative..and sadly, just like something Bertie was talking about a few days back, most of them take themselves too seriously. Two days into the programme, a person with 2 yrs of IT workex is dead sure he wants to handle m&a at an investment bank (or something like that only!). In the sociology class, people protest during an amazing lecture that this course does not add value to their CVs. And don't even get me started on the whole shenanigans over class participation.
But on the other hand, there are (albeit a few) interesting people to meet too. Beautiful ones who give you an insight into the life of an army family :-). People who talk in all sorts of accents as they vividly, and indivdualistically describe their experiences, expectations, how much they miss their homes n stuff. People with phenomenal ideas and passions to match.
If these few days spent here paint a true picture, then the next 2 years are surely going to be one big rollercoaster ride. But what probably excites me the most, is the wealth of human management to gauge and learn from here.....for sure.
