Some Random Updates!!!

I thought second year would be a "piece of cake". Now I can realize how foolish I am to think that way.

I have already mentioned somewhere in my previous posts that we have 7 subjects this term and all 7 have projects to be submitted. With in a span of 3 months, what really can I do?? For the past three days I have been to bed only after saying hii to Mr.Sun. Ofcourse, he too says "hii" with a "warm" touch. I slept at 6 in the evening thinking that I could get up at 8 and continue with routine tasks. I got up just 3.5 hours after the expected time :)). And so, finally I got some time to scribble something here.

Last week we had a strategy game conducted by one our committees in association with an outside party (cannot mention their names). It was a good one. We will be given money(not real.. on computer) to create new products, maintain inventory levels, select the marketing attributes and lot more. More than that we need to make investments in some technology too. All these happened in 4 rounds and in less than 4 hours. But it was a very good experience. Especially setting up the market price for our products. In the initial rounds our team was doing well. In Round 3, thinking that it could be the last round, I did some manipulation with prices. And that really paid us. Till then our graphs were so positive and all of sudden it started dipping. I then understood we should be to ourselves and do not change our strategy with the number of rounds (in real life, we dont know how many rounds exist). By the way, an another interesting thing is that, the looks of one of the organizers is similar to that of "funny guy - Zach" in hangover. Here the word funny is in reference to the guy in hang over and not the other way.
Just have a look at him - here is the link



BTW, our team(synapse) has recruited a set of juniors. The enthusiasm levels are good just the way we had in the initial days. But I am eager to see how these levels will be are after two months.

It seems our team(Team Blitzkrieg) got a gift for our contribution to "Red River" project. I am eager to see what it could be. I am wondering if it is a "lady thing", to whom can I gift it?. Suggestions are accepted :)).
