Finally I am back. Back to school -> Bschool . And man! It’s tough here. Much much tougher than I presumed.
And so, after a much deserved break , I have finally something to write about. My new school – TAPMI, Manipal. Manipal, Situated among the undulating terrains of south karnataka, this place is just too peaceful at heart and at the same time buzzing with energy, radiated out of more that 20000 students pursuing various courses in this town. Nicknamed chirrapunji of the south (India), its mostly raining out here. In fact, I heard that a nearby forest known as “Agumbe” is the land of king-cobra’s. Seeing a live king cobra has become a fascination for me ever since I saw a herpetologist touching one in discovery channel. But right now, I have no wish to actually see one. 14 days of continuous absence from the class is a good enough reason to make you pack your bags and I have absolutely no wish to be the next Steve jobs.
So coming back to TAPMI, what to say??. This place is a synonym for discipline. A little bit extra strict , but still manageable. But the best thing I liked about TAPMI is that right from day one the institution is trying hard to make us feel at home. Induction programme was too cool, seniors are exceptionally cooperative and everything is pretty much pre-planned and itinerarised. Except for the no-leave policy , everything is as expected. So if you are packing your bags and planning to come here, better be prepared to stay away from home for more than 6-10 months. (But there seems to be a silver lining : a week-long holiday in October. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope to be at home by then.)
And as I read more books on Organizational behavior, Micro economics and Accounting in my quest to become a better manager , I hope I will be able to come back once a while and keep this blog alive with news from one of the best Bschools in the country- TAPMI.
