Rendezvous of three generations

Boyzone witnessed a rare spectacle last weekend. Through "Sneh-Milan", three generations of PGPABM had an awesome get-together. While it was the perfect home-coming for the beloved seniors of the 2006-08 batch, it was "meeting-old-friends" for the 2007-09 batch. But, meeting a bunch of seniors who are not only so emotionally attached to their alma-mater, but even more concerned and caring to its present inhabitants, was truly thrilling for the 2008-10 batch.

As the party went on deep into the night, the three generations were united in the ethos of the MANAGEite. 

MANAGEites all the way!!!!!!!!

Dear friends,

It is said that history repeats itself and to create it one cannot forget it! Keeping in mind that seniors had won accolades for their excellent performance in TRISHNA 07,UDAAN08 and many more, MANAGEites 08 entered TRISHNA 08 having onus on them.

And what did they do? Well, history repeated itself and this time it created a history winning prizes almost in every event! But as a senior Olympiad has put it ‘Glory lies not in winning but in taking part’. Over half of MANAGEites 08 had enthusiastically participated making a ripple in business world about MANAGE, Hyderabad!

Kudos team!!!!!!

MANAGEites have continued to carry the legacy of clean sweeping competitions held at various B-schools. In this context PGPABM-1 students robbed the show at TRISHNA 08’ organized by IBS, Hyderabad. The description goes like this;
1st prize in KOPS to Manish and Anurag
1st prize in Ad-Dict to Pradeep and Pushpendra
2nd prize in Ad-Dict to Avinash and Ankan
2nd prize in Wordsworth to Rahul, Gunanand and Moushmi
3rd prize in Questitude to Amit, Anupa and Chaitra
3rd prize in Desh-Videsh to Atul, Brajesh, Avinash, Prakash and Ashish
1st position in Airocrash to Moushmi
2nd position in Airocrash to Rahul
The performance was overwhelming in all respects and the guys managed to sweep a whooping prize money of 70 K.
KUDOS to MANAGEites.............
MANAGE Ka hai Dhoom Dhadaka..................

The Manage Musketeers

Call them the Gurkha Regiment, The Kukri gang or the 3 musketeers...the 3 manageites are always on a prowl bunking classes...as one of their Generals, Gen.Kukki puts it 'Yaar subeh subeh class nahi kiya jaata, yeh meri sab se badi weakness hai'. Always vigilant at nights with Maggi as one of their startegic partners, these are the guys to be looked at in the LLB.

Maj Gen. Pandu, incharge of the eastern command is an equipment expert and always tries to maintain a low profile....magar bande mein bada dum hai.

A word of caution....Dont try and mess with the Kukri gang or else........................................

A small tribute to these unsung musketeers.

MANAGEites rock in VoGuE

Carrying the theme of fashion, MANAGEites rocked in the IV party on 20th Nov. Novelty and innovation was on display at Boyzone. Greeting with red roses, enjoying through darts and concluding with a grand bash, the party was really memorable.

Behind the dances, beneath the decorations, beyond all the ecstasy, was the burning flame of friendship and love

The party would never end here at MANAGE. Because, we work hard and party harder........ 

Alumni meet

In words of NIRVAN Bhattacharya,
Dear All,

Great effort by one and ALL.

Hope the efforts for a common platform for the alumni to interact through a formal website brings fruit.

Cheers to MANAGE!!!

Nirvan

"Wait for photos on this blog"

more ViBrAnT MANAGE

With the launch of our own alumni website"www.managealumni.net" a missing link has been bridged. Many a isolated activities have been done by our alumni in the past to do something to build up the linkages amongst our fraternity and alumni and the institute. Due to cold attitude of our institution things never really took off but with alumni meets(chapterwise) on the cards and website launched I hope the MANAGE fraternity is going to have a great time together.

BEAT THE HEAT

"I was asked what I thought about the recession. I thought about it and decided not to take part."
-Sam Walton
Dear friends,
It has been a long time interacting on this blog. Has the heat put us down?
Just read the news report on Summer placements at IIM-K and JBIMS, and found no reversal as was expected. Sure people might have had to work harder to achieve that than the previous year.
Indian economy with all downsides taken into account will grow at 7-7.5% this year. We should be able to see some credit expansion in next few weeks. Activity and business subdued as it was will resume.
Moreover short term stock market performance is not the indicator of countries economy. Stock market represent less than 2% of national assets of India. And thankfully many Indians till today do not invest in stocks so they have not suffered huge wealth erosion. We need to bring these people into investment and consumption cycle in a bigger way. Domestic consumption of Indians is not going to be affected in a big way. This was appended by CEO of HUL recently for FMCG sector.
Agriculture credit may shrink a bit but last years investments is already bringing results with bumper production this year, which means more money in the hands of the farmer. Agri-input sector therefore by and large will do well. Banks cannot be written off either for we have seen good performance by PSBs and HDFC bank. We will have some slow down in retail, because even in the boom companies were not making money because of higher costs, now it is going to be even more tougher for them. Food processing is going to remain strong.
The whole crux of this small piece was that if its not rosy now doesn't mean its gloomy either.
We should think factually rather than based on sentiments.

Dictatorial Style

The leader or manager using this style operates like a dictator. He or she makes all the decisions about what, where, when, why, how things are done, and who will do them. Employees failing to following directions are usually severly disciplined or given cause for “early retirement” (as recently happened to a friend of mine).

The dictatorial leader traits are: all decision-making power is theirs, unrealistic in demands, uses excessive discipline and punishment, does not allow others to question decisions or authority

A more passive style of this is: all decision-making power is theirs, unrealistic demands clouded in humor, subtle forms of discipline and punishment, allows questions about decisions (on the surface) but ignores them, pretends to be your friend only to get their way.

Do you find someone like this around you?

Everything right on the "DANDIA NITE"

Jai bolo sherowaali ki...!!It was colourful, exuberant and bright.MANAGE again rocked on the "Dandia Nite". The Goddess was given the offerings and later the dance floor was set on fire with the rattling sound of dandia all over and all throught the night.There were refreshments like paanipuri ("Outsourced...!!"), sweets and sharbat that kept the "Dandiars..!!!" energetic through out.

Sober up

Mon, Sep 29 01:40 AM

If you are young, have a hectic social life where you drink and party every night, and have applied for a job, chances are you will lose out to someone who is a teetotaler. Yes, you heard right.

A random survey of 375 CEOs in the medium and large-scale private sector industries by ASSOCHAM threw up some startling facts. Almost 55 per cent of the CEOs interviewed said they would choose teetotalers over people who drink.

Why teetotalers? Whether hiring at entry level or mid level, the choice of recruiters has undergone a seachange. In fact, of the 375 CEOs, 206 said that they would recruit only those young boys and girls who observe total abstinence from alcohol.

The common perception among the CEOs questioned is that teetotalers are more productive, efficient and competent. They stick to deadlines and are good at time management.

Harsh Saxena*, operations head of an event management company in Okhla, which implemented the total abstinence rule six months ago, says, "The results are fabulous. Both efficiency and time management have improved".

Says Sunil Arora*, director of an advertising agency in south Delhi, "Given a choice, I'd any day have a battalion of young people, but they shouldn't be the regular drunkard types." All for the better Debunking the myth that "creative types need to be two pegs down to think up marvelous concepts", Devan Khattar*, art director in a Noida-based ad agency says, "My team members are workaholics and not drinkaholics.

" Sajjan Jindal, chairperson for JSW Steel, says, "I've been following the new policy for some time - teetotalers are ambitious, highly productive and specific about their target." While some of the companies surveyed have already made a change in recruitment policies, other HR departments are keen to make 'no drinking' a cast-iron rule.

And if an employee is found to be downing a peg too many? The decision to fire such employees will in all probability come much later, says Koteshwar Prasad Dobhal, director PR, ASSOCHAM. ASSOCHAM secretary general Dr DS Rawat says, "As far as entry-level recruitment is concerned, lifestyle habits are influencing decision-making." And the teetotalers are winning.

ABM 1 organizes “AABHAAR”!

Rendezvous of seniors and juniors of ABM took place on 22nd of August 08’ wherein the juniors had organised a Thanks giving party. It was a perfect blend of enthusiasm of juniors and courtesy of seniors. The programme started on a high note by seniors playing “chip-cow” in which Ravendra Kukreti walked away with the ravishing Kareena’s poster. Following that, all the 34 seniors were dedicated a quote and a song. To add some more spice they were asked to play “figure out” where they were made to guess the name of the junior whose name they picked from a lot. Party was bathed with some thrilling performance from Jagganath, an ABM 1 student, who rocked the floor on the title track of Dhoom-II. There were some more eye catching moments wherein guys n gals of ABM 1 put up bright and breezy performances. The atmosphere was charged by slogans like “MANAGE ka hai dhoom dhadaka hu ha hu ha”. The gala ended with everybody letting their hair down at the thumping disco bash......
Rest next time.

Life is like a rose

Life is a melodrama, full of experiences and rollercoaster rides.

Let’s pacify the mood and send an expression of our emotion to our loved ones.

Start with me............

Rose is for Friendship

Rose is for Love

Rose is for Money

Rose is for Happiness

Rose is for Popularity

Rose is for Knowledge

Rose is for Cuteness

Rose is for Family

Rose is for Honesty

Rose is for Long Life

"Kuch karo ya na karo roz ek rose sab ke saath jaroor share kiya karo."

This is for now will come up with some more later.....

Picture abhi baaki hai

Adaptation - The Junior's perspective

"Before we came here, MANAGE was in our mind.... After we are here, MANAGE is in our hearts.... From now on, MANAGE should be in our blood", an excited CR exclaimed. He was right. Our CR is pretty good at motivation and I am, at times, inspired by his qualities as a leader. Flashing back to July 7th, I was like a child in his first day at kindergarden! The last 40-odd days were one of the fastest in my life.

It was hard at first to (as Adarsh sir says) shed the thinking pattern of a student and think like a manager. Assignments were tough at first, but they all seem to be great memories now. I am sure the sweetness of the initial days here would grow with time.

I am a bit sad at the back of my mind that, since all our rooms have Wi-Fi connectivity, the meetings and the group assignments at CC have become redundant.

I never thought that making friends would be such an instantaneous process and one which breaks all the cultural and linguistic barriers. Learning about diverse cultures and especially the traditions of North Indians (which is totally new to me) is such a great experience!

The only problem remains with Hindi. Although I can speak quite well, I still get confused with the use of gender!!

It is true in my case that 'adaptation' to the new environment was very much spontaneous and natural. I am sure it is the case with all the others.

THREE THINGS U LIKE AT MANAGE

THE GREEN CAMPUS THAT ITSELF SIGNIFIES THE VIBRANCY.
THE BEST OF THE FACULTIES THAT COME TO MANAGE.
THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP AND BONDING THAT EXISTS BETWEEN SENIORS AND THE JUNIORS.

MAKE IT BETTER EVERYDAY.
