The Greater Fool - Initial Days At IIM Shillong
"The Greater Fool" is a theory in investing in which someone makes a risky investment on the assumption that they can sell it for more at a later point to some literally greater fool than they are. It states that the price of an object is determined not by its intrinsic value, but rather by irrational beliefs and expectations of market participants.

Two Months Into A B-School - The IIM Shillong Perspective
It has now been close to two months since I stepped into this Institute and before you dismiss that as being not long enough time to be able to give substantial insight on institutes, I’ll put out a disclaimer that this would be of most interest to those preparing/about to start preparing for the various management exams with an intent of joining a b-school soon or those who seek to get a glimpse of what to expect at the institute that is also popularly known as the “Campus in Clouds”!

5 Things You Should Know About While Joining A B-School
The campus in the clouds never sleeps. A future manager suddenly wakes up to the sounds of joy coming from the meeting area between the hostels, our beloved quadrangle. He walks towards the sounds confused what could be so important at 12 AM in the night. He reaches there and witnesses something he had long forgotten since his graduation college. A birthday. The whole batch, celebrating the fact that one of them is now closer to his forties. Everyone is happy except, the person of the hour. Running to hide, the celebrations here can sometimes be painful. Lesson 1, wear lots of clothes on your birthday.

Sustainability Trek 2017 - IIM Shillong - An Experience Of A Lifetime
On 9th July, I had one of the best experiences of my life. PGP17 was taken on a trek as a part of the foundation course on sustainability. The day started with a walk through the sacred forest of Mawphlang. It felt like I was stepping into an award-winning photograph of an exotic forest. The sheer variety of the shades of green that I was seeing was in itself stunning. To add to the beauty, we were walking along a large stream that lent itself wonderfully to photographs. We were privileged enough to see the sacred spots inside the forest where the locals conduct their rituals. It was a truly refreshing experience.

An Eye Opening And Adventurous Experience At IIM Shillong
Choosing a b-school is one of the most important decisions taken by a plethora of students and professionals across our country every year. While parameters like academics, placements, exposure, and brand play a crucial role in the decision-making process, a few parameters and variables are realised only after joining the Institute.
