The Bhavan’s Cricket Ground recently played host to the annual SPJIMR Premier League, more fondly referred to as SPL. The event was organized by the SPL Committee, which is a part of the SPRINT (SPJIMR’s annual sports fest) team. The event turned out to be a great success.
In the first ever exercise of its kind, the entire staff and leadership team at SPJIMR’s PGEMP programme sat down with Mr. R Gopalakrishnan, author of the book, ‘Six Lenses – Vignettes of Success, Career and Relationships’, and Dean Dr. Ranjan Banerjee for what turned out to be an interesting conversation based on the book.
When I was a child, my teacher asked, “Who’s your favourite hero?”. “Shaktiman!”, I blurted out along with many of my classmates, imagining myself as the superhero in the red suit. As I grew up, my preferences evolved with the speed of light, sometimes it was the “Caped crusader” while some other time it was the “Man of Steel”.
I was not an XL sentimentalist fanboy.
Bustling through the waves, holding the ropes together and piercing through each rising tide - these words may appropriately describe a ship sailing successfully through a rough voyage but if you were a part of the first semester, you’d see striking similarities in your predicament. Let me tweak this a bit - Rising waves of assignments, holding everyone together in group assignments and maintaining a calm in the chaos of academics, summer placements and competition- these were our set of obstacles. But we sailed through all the tumult to find ourselves on our way to an order - an order within ourselves.
On November 21st, IIM Indore proudly hosted the HULT prize @ campus, the world’s largest student competition for social entrepreneurship. Called the "Nobel Prize for students" by media outlets world-wide, the Hult Prize is offered in partnership with former US President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative. President Bill Clinton selects the challenge topic every year and announces the winner each September. The issue addressed this year is: Reawakening Human Potential: The Refugee Opportunity.
To folks who don’t know what the Himalayan Outbound Program (HOP) is - it is a legitimate course with credits which is offered to the final year students belonging to certain IIMs (Like IIM Indore). The participants are required to trek up to altitudes of around 10,000 to 12,000 ft, for a period of three to four days at selected locations in the Himalayas, and take part in adventure activities and group tasks. Gift vouchers and other prizes are awarded to groups which perform well during these treks and activates. The programs are usually organised and conducted by vendors such as Indiahikes and TSAF.
So, I have decided to write about a day in the life of a typical student of IIM Lucknow. More so, because the moderators asked.
