IIM Indore Campus Walk With Revant Sindhu

It’s an almost warm, rainy day in July. The newly selected PGP Batch has just about arrived on campus. The experience begins even before one can actually reach the campus gate. As you move from Indore city, towards Rau on the outskirts, the transition is seamless. Soon, you’re on the straight road that runs from Rau to Pithampur. Ahead in the distance, out on the left, you see a white dome perched atop a small hill; there are a couple of minaret-shaped structures at the base of the hill and an almost circular, reddish-orange building close to the white dome.

What Can You Learn From Psychopaths

Who exactly are psychopaths? We have many T.V series that have characters based on psychopaths and sociopaths. There’s Dexter, Sherlock, Joffrey Baratheon, Ramsay Bolton, Dr House and many more. Often the word psychopath and sociopath are used interchangeably but the truth is that they are quite different. The key difference between the two is that Psychopaths have no conscience ergo feel no guilt at all and are meticulous whereas Sociopaths do have a conscience but a very weak one and are quite reckless. Both these terms fall under the spectrum of Anti-Social Personality Disorder and have quite a few overlapping traits.

'I Reached My Destination But Did I Make The Journey' - Ankita Jena's Internship Experience At Cognizant Business Consulting - IIM Indore

The incessant rhythmic chugging, a distant whistle once in a while and muffled snores of sleeping souls; this is the music of a train as it darts across the rails at night. In this ever bustling world, a train journey seems a luxury to many of us as we take flights to save time. But every time I have taken a flight, being the romantic I am, there has been a nagging feeling - “I reached my destination, but did I make the journey?” So when it was time to start my internship, I knew it was significant enough to take a little journey by train before starting the big one!
