Decoding Medusa At IIM Lucknow - The One On Greek Mythology

Isn't it fascinating when you realize that the things you considered so light (casually), has an interesting story behind it? The same happened with me a few days back. This is a popular landmark in Hel(L) and we call it Medusa. Medusa is a beautiful sculpture in the middle of the fountain, surrounded by luscious trees of a beautiful campus. A favourite spot for the selfie lovers and admirers of nature, I never knew it could have an interpretation or symbolism for it being near Chintan Block. I wonder if, whosoever placed this statue right near the Chintan Block had some strategic motive behind this? Was he aware of the story behind Medusa and wanted us to be familiar with it too?

SCMHRD - Candid Views And Learnings

What should I write? I scratched my head, as I pondered over this question in my mind while sitting in the comfort of my hostel room at SCMHRD, taking a few sips of pepsi now and then, my mind took me back to the time when I joined this beautiful institute nine months back. I am a simple, normal girl who loves to dream and clearly, working as a software engineer wasn't enough for me. I wanted something more. MBA was that "more." By "more" I do not mean a CV pointer or an added skill or some new area of knowledge. Of course, all these hold true but what I was looking for was a new EXPERIENCE.
