One of the most fundamental truths is that when we sleep more and more, we want to sleep more and more. Since I slept ample last night, I wanted to keep sleeping today. We don't have many classes these days. But tomorrow we have one of our final exams on Marketing Strategy.
Not that I know a lot of it, not that I have understood much in the class, i mean i did understand some things, but did not understand the relevance of those things so much. So ya there are a slew of management terms and jargon that Im going to use such as 'unlocking customer value', product innovation, differentiation, positioning, segmentation, brand preference, loyalty and all that ****.
So ya here also, we end up pandering to our professor's need to be told somethings and those things only. In the past year, we have tried to force-fit some cases into models and concepts which hasn't been of much avail. The few people who had faith in studying marketing tools and concepts also have developed this very thick distaste for them. So much so, that some people even opted out of the course, an illustration of the growing antipathy for it, accepting a 'D' grade in return. That's the thing, with these subjects, people have also stopped caring about grades. Some people still do but certainly much less than they ever did. Anyhow, grades don't matter so much anyway.
These days average performers fear performing well much more than good performers fear performing worse :)
So even though I have an exam tomorrow and I slept in the afternoon, I'm still not studying. Well, let me see how I perform without studying at all. And it's not like an experiment, I've done this many times before.
So it would have turned into a 'me-too' day, but MTV came to our campus to check out our campus. So in the evening when we went to the mess, we see Cyrus interviewing bunches of students. But we went ahead not-giving-so-much-of-a-****..And while I was molesting my samosas a lady came and asked us if we (me and two of my friends) were ok answering some basic questions on MICA.. Ofcourse, we said ok cause we did give some ****. Ya so Cyrus came and asked us some very answerable but unanswerable questions to which we gave some very stupid answers. But it's MTV, and MTV and stupidity always sit together.
Anyhow, I hadn't had a bath for a long time (i'm not going to say how long), and just got up from sleep so it is sure going to be a frightful thing on MTV, unless they decide to scrap the footage altogether.
And then I had the most amazing veg biriyani in the mess. If one can keep good relations with the mess-people or one can be Bengali, they can give you curd, fried and coloured onion crisps and especially cut cucumbers and tomatoes for you.
I dont have much time now. Have to rummage some of the course material out of the mess in my cupboard.
Later

I also want to do an MBA, you don't make it sound drab at all, :P
Going back to school would be nice though.
