Life at IIM Shillong | Ft. Divyaraj Chandwaskar

It feels like only yesterday when I was basking in the glory of securing admission to IIM Shillong. I remember how I ironed my business formals, shaved my beard, properly positioned myself in front of my laptop, and logged in at 6:45 P.M. for the session scheduled to start at seven.

No amount of education, advertisement, abolishment could bring virtualization as quickly as COVID 19 did. But the question was were we ready for the scale of digitization that came upon us? 10% of employees even in developed countries such as the USA face internet issues.

To The Tails Of The Normal Distribution

History repeats itself, not in the exact same way, but in a way that reminds us of the tumultuous past. It was some fateful day in the 1850s when Charles Dickens wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair." Dickensian period revived again in 2020. It is the kind of stuff the post-world war generations have seen in the movies. Pandemic breakout. People in-home quarantine. Schools and colleges shut indefinitely. The dementors came alive from J K Rowling's pen and started sucking the happiness out of people's lives.
