The Time Of Farewells - The Time We Realise That What We Had Was The Best

The Time Of Farewells - The Time We Realise That What We Had Was The Best

Like now, almost four years back, when I graduated from NIT Trichy it was the time of farewells and goodbyes. Though I didn’t know anyone before going to NITT, it was by luck I got a room with a group of friends who were from the same school with whom I stayed together for the rest of my time in college and at that point of time I didn’t know that we were set to become friends for life. The last few months of college went away in a jiffy, with most nights spent playing Dota or discussing random stuff till morning and sleeping through the day or going home during the extended weekends we used to get.  Nearly everyone in my gang was either going to work in Bangalore or was going to study in the US except for me who was moving to Chennai.

Battling The Sea Of Confusion - To Do Or Not Do An MBA?

Battling The Sea Of Confusion - To Do Or Not Do An MBA?

Somebody rightly said that in India, We become Engineers first then decide our careers later. The phrase ‘What Next?’ being used very prominently as we draw to a close to the last leg of our engineering days. This thought starts becoming more and more astounding as time passes by and we reach an impasse.

5 Not So Cliched IIM Interview Experiences - The One Who Knocks All The Doors - Keerthana P

I am not in Danger. I am the danger. That’s the kind of attitude everyone wants to build up before the big day. An advice to be confident put in a #serialoholic way. Here let me share my experience of my 5 IIM  interviews briefly and how they were all not so cliched and I proved that I am the one who knocks at all the doors! I am writing this article to prove that it is only how well you present yourself at that moment with the weight of past and the dream of future that decides your fate. By “Present yourself” I mean the words you chose and the strength you muster to speak it up – Your Courage. So here it goes:

'Canteeneering' - A TISSian’s Perspective Of A Fieldwork Observation

'Canteeneering' - A TISSian’s Perspective Of A Fieldwork Observation

 A typical day at fieldwork encompasses several phases, right from getting up early, boarding a local train, rustling through the crowd, getting to meet employees on a typical ‘Monday’, hearing about ‘last Sunday’s party’, getting fresh assignments to work upon and of course food, which definitely forms a major part of the day. Food at breakfast, food during lunch, snacks at tea time and any other interval time that one can think of. And at my fieldwork organisation, the food quotient is grand. I am a typical connoisseur of food and food for me is definitely a highly motivating factor (if at all I find a nexus with Herzberg’s motivation theory). And I was pleasantly surprised to find the variety of food that too at a subsidised cost. Every cafeteria is a spacious hall which has a capacity to accommodate more than two hundred people. The thing that struck me along with this observation is that there is a place near the plates, which boldly mentions: “Strictly Vegetarian”. Being a vegetarian myself, I initially wasn’t much bothered by the diktat, however, after having a discussion on the dining table, I came across a lot of thoughts and judgments. “Can an employer control the eating habits of its employees?”. “Is it a part of the policy?”. “Does this violate the human rights quotient and more importantly the liberty of individuals”.
