1st day at Bangalore

With a short break at home I had to rush to join at MindTree. I was really excited to be back at city through which I started my carrier. At hotel reception I asked for keys to my room and I heard another voice of Chandra “Hey you too are joining MindTree”. Later I meet other guys who are joining as MBA campus batch. Batch is like the bunch, made from selected students from across top B school, IIM A, B, L, K, MDI and XLRI.

I have already heard a lot about the culture and values of MindTree. 1st day boosted this image. The core value of CLASS: Caring, Learning, Achieving, Sharing, and Social Responsibility really made me think if this can be true. One of founder of MindTree, KK from XLRI has really brought the values of XL to Mindtree.

My journey as consultant has just begun and there is long path ahead to travel to achieve the goal.

The SECRET

There are many secrets in life and one of secret is revealed by our Prof Mr Ghandy a Resident Director of Tata Motors, MD of Telcon and our visiting faculty of “Ethical Leadership”. The “Secret” that reveals the most powerful law in the universe. We were astonished that if this secret is so potent than why it is still the secret, why not everybody knows it and earnest it to gain ultimate power of universe.

My Ghandy revealed the secret through a film “SECRET” .The Secret reveals the natural law that is governing all lives. By applying the knowledge of this law, one can change every aspect of one’s life. It says “Thought become things”

How many times it happen in your life that you were constantly thinking of something and it actually happened or how many times it happened that you are constantly praying the something do not happen and it happens. Secret says “There is an Alladin genie in everybody life who always fulfils you wishes”. Whenever you thought about thing to happen you are creating a law of attraction which attract that thing to you. More you think more powerful is that law of attraction. But this law of attraction do not understand “NOT”. How many times have you wished that “today there should be no traffic jam” and same time you struck in jam. It’s the law of attraction, whenever you wished a genie comes and completes you request.

But only thoughts do now command genie. Thoughts create ideas which should be backed up by feelings. So until you feel and try to work on idea you won’t be able to achieve it. One should always have positive feeling which will generate positive thoughts and ideas. If you will think of "happiness" you will get "happiness". If you will think "debt" you will get "debt".

So guys enjoy and think positive.

There is attitude in my blood which says A B+

XLRI Outbound camp

“If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.” XLRI GMP batch went to outdoor leadership camp organised by Tata Steel Adventure Foundation on 3rd July 2009. Kudo to XLRI and TSAF for this memorable trip. This trip trained us on camping techniques, leadership qualities, team building and knowing more about team members.

We went to tumur Village, located nearly 30Km from Jamshedpur. Place was perfect for camping activities surrounded by mountains on one side and a small lake on other side. We learned putting up camp. We were divided in 5 groups which compete with each other in various competitions. Each day we appoint one leader of group which take care of managing whole group in various completions. Each day end we have briefing about the strength and weaknesses of leader.

We were stretched to extremes with various activities like hurdle crossing, caving, rock climbing, rappling. During caving we went to small caves and engaged in climbing, crawling and twisting our body to went pass through rocks. Every time we were helped and encourage by team members through hardships. In rock climbing we learned various skills like 3point climbing, Chimneying and Bridging. Don’t be surprised if now I climb rock faster than monkey :-)

We enjoyed the evenings with music, songs, laughter and watching movies about successful trip of Bachendri Pal, First Indian Woman to Climb Mount Everest.

On last day we went to Dimna Lake. We enjoyed the day learning skill of rafting. We have an excellent competition of improvise rafting in which we have to make our own raft and win the race. Thanks to lifejacked which keep us afloat in half sunk raft-)

It’s now 3 days to trip and I am still counting my bones and muscles which are paining :-) . It’s really life time memorial trip and memories of this trip will definitely be in golden pages of my life.

Here are some pictures of the same.

XLRI Managerial Communication Dinner

As per prof Fr A. C. Jesurajan non verbal communication (clothing, body language) is 65% of total communication and is responsible for communicating feelings and attitude. As part of Managerial communication course, XLRI has invited our GMP batch for a seven course dinner on 19th of July 2009.

We were taken through all aspect of dinner from dressing, greeting guests, handling our drinks, table etiquettes to dinning etiquettes. With initial round of drink we were taken to dining table. After 7 rounds of dinner we were stuffed till neck. Thanks that stomach is made of infinite elastics. I also gave us chance to know more about our batch mates. We enjoyed a lot with jokes, laughter and soothing background music.

It was really a great experience. Kudos to XLRI and Fr A. C. Jesurajan for such a lavish night.
