Here ended another weekend which I passed clearing the backlog of studies. I just submitted my second assignment for the evening, though the one on Finance was due for Wednesday.
This week General Management Club organized a speaker session with Mr Sudhir Kumar, IAS. The presentation about the turnaround of the Indian Railway has already been covered by some other B-Schools. However, it still mesmerizes the audience. It was a good learning experience for many to see how the organization could earn profits despite providing services at huge subsidies. The fun is that the change was managed once again by the age old bureaucracy. May be when it comes to the ‘people skills’, where conflict of interests is common, bureaucratic experience has no parallel.
This weekend we also concluded the Leadership Development Module, making presentations on diverse topics. We also discussed and watched some of the famous oratory skills demonstrations in movies and literature. Al Pacino in his Oscar winning role in Scent of a Woman was the favourite of the class. But my doubt remains; how many times can one create such sensation and excitement in business boardrooms, through speeches that are made without ‘Re-takes’.
My immediate concern remains about my inability to find out time to complete two of my literary projects. And as Ghalib had said, ‘Hazaaron Kwahishen Aisi….’ Every time I promise myself to comeback to my incomplete tasks- I end up beaten by the speed of the time.
