Finally, I uploaded my profile picture. Somehow I like that pic. I was wearing a new sweater in that pic.
I am writing this blog just to forget few things. "Things" that are filled in my thoughts. I dont know what to say. :(((
Recently I won a competition. It was about a logo design and brand penetration strategy for a dubai based company. The company is going to launch new products in that country and so they want a name for their brand. I dint spend much time for designing the logo. But It fetched the prize for our group The total prize money was Rs.7500. But it has to be divided among 4 people. This is the first competition to win on the campus. The other competition where my group went to final round was for the RED River project. The results are yet to come. By the way in that logo design competition, logo carries 75% weightage :). I felt very happy seeing my name in the mail that was sent to everyone on campus. But for others it could be just an other competition as they see these kind of mails on daily basis.
Apart from that, today we had some funny moments in the class. As I mentioned in my earlier post, we had a presentation on HSBC Glt (my previous company). We had it in the afternoon session (4 PM). I was preparing ppt till 4 pm :). There were so many changes in the last minute. Raghu and I were not satisfied with the report and hence were doing so many changes in the PPT. Every team got less than 8 minutes to present and we were also given same amount of time. By the time I got the chance, only 2 minutes were left. I quickly winded up my slides and when raghu started talking about the organization structure, the time was up. Priyanka still dint start her part in the presentation. Atlast mam asked our group - 'what is the most important learning from this project ?' We dont know what to say. Since priyanka did not speak till then, we all pushed her front. But she didnot prepare for this presentation. She was so happy till then but things changed all of sudden. She started answered the question this way - 'Actually.. Actually.. We studied the whole organization structure'. Mam replied - "No.. No.. NO.. I am asking.. what are your learnings from the project ?". Then prasad raised his tone and said some answer. Then I raised my tone and told mam about the dual authority problem. Then prasad ended the whole conversation with a funny example. Mean while the students in the class started shouting - 'Globe.. Globe...'. The word "Globe" means answering the question by telling all the stories around the world and missing the real part. The frequency of the word "Globe" is increasing day by day in my class. :))).
Raghu has come to my room to read and I am writing this blog for the past half an hour.
He will kill me If i continue writing the post for another 5 mins.
Today is Imran's birthday. I wish him happy birthday. He is one of my close friends and a very good person. His everlasting smile is his biggest asset. He was the one who often wishes me first on some important occasions. I remember him calling on dec 31st 2008(I dont remember exactly), 15 mins before 12 midnight, to be the first to wish him "Happy new year".
Now, I need to call him by 12 to be the last to wish him "Happy birthday" :).
Thats it for today... Keep Smiling....
