Realm of Constructive Ambiguity
It is not everyday that I fall in love with an oxymoron like "Constructive Ambiguity" ! It seems to perfectly paint the state of mind that most ISB'ians are trancending through after 4 months of eventful-co-existence in the suburbs of Hyderabad.
As many questions ebb with each passing day, we silently convince ourself that our destiny lies somewhere within the mist of new subjects/amazing lectures/high absorbtion-low retention rate/Panel discussion/inspirational rhetorics and CP.
Term 3 has redefined the word "Great" in my vocab. Term 1, I thought Mark Finn and Bob Stine scaled Mt Everest of my expectations in terms of Class-Presence ! Then came along Rakesh Vohra to extend a new new dimension to the concept of Intuitional Teaching ... this dude was able to keep the class enthralled on Game theory for 10 hours with a single page of printed material ... Yes no ppt no associated material and you came out in a dizzy each time ....
This term saw the Bhagwan descend into our eco-system, making Corporate finance seem like a Mario Puzo novel in the graveyard shift from 2-4 PM requires genius par comapre. With the trademark "My wife Swathi" analogies to explain complex concepts of Call options and risk assesment will be remembered for a long time ....
Prof. Venkatraman has redefined Entrepreneurship to us. Looking at this puny man manoever the mind of the class compares to the way Gavaskar and Vishwanath might have tamed the mighty West Indies despite the mammoth height differetial.
Even as the party scene is growing far apart, along came todays party for our section guys which was absolutely memorable in more ways than one !!! I must say I've got an amazing section of Dudes and Dudettes .... Hats of to the Sec-C spirit !
It really does not matter that despite his best efforts Prof. Bhagwan Choudary has convinced me that I am not built for Finance but what matters to me is the fact that I am now able to convince myself what I like to do and play to my strengths !!
