Dr. Pink Floyd

And i am blogging guys(for those who know me, i am actually doing it). Doing it for the grades primarily, but trust me after a 2 hour thought provoking session would have done it otherwise also.
So at NITIE we have a professor called Dr. Prasad alias Dr. Mandi as he is the man behind the MANDI event( google mandi nitie for details) and he teaches us Principles of Organisation Management (POM). And this is regarding my POM lecture1 which also happened to be my first lecture at NITIE.
First lecture at NITIE and i was expecting a strict professor grilling us but to my surprise a smiling face entered the class, took off his slippers and asked a student to switch on the mic and put it in his pocket(continuously smiling). There and then i knew its going to be an extreme experience, good or bad. Turned out to be awesome though. I never even thought teaching could be like this as well. It was strange for me. But then he made us listen to his favourite song, Brick in the wall by Pink Floyd and i met a teacher who publicly criticizes indian education system. And let me tell you guys In Bishops Cotton School, Shimla, the entire school was whipped just because they played this song in their school. Now you can imagine what i was thinking at that time!

With his unconventional methodologies, Dr. Prasad, conveyed a lot many things one can teach in 2 hours. He brought some toys to teach simple physics but the actual purpose was to send the message of self-reliance even while studying, Aaj Ki Roti Aaj Hi Kmao. The job opportunity we have left, the fee we are paying plus other expenses turn out to be nearly Rs.2000 a day, Rs. 2500 if we go by what our professor says. I wonder how a man can drive me towards entrepreneurship that too while i am studying in less than 2 hours.

What i liked?

1. The unconventional methods.
2. The positive and open interaction. 
3. The initiative and thoughtfulness of teaching millions via internet. Best way to extract the maximum out of these so called smartphones. Like i did not know about Khan Academy, a free online education platform, i think most of you also do not. Please google it.
4. And ofcourse, the humour.

What i learnt?

Out of the many messages being conveyed, what striked me the most is
" We can make N no. of excuses for not doing a thing"
I did not do it because i was busy studying, i am still a kid, XYZ. If you wanted to do it, you would have done it anyways.
I don't agree in entirety that we are beggars begging for the last 20 years from our parents, but we are nothing less than that.
We got a few examples of student entrepreneurs like Shreyas Srinivas, the man behind "level 10 studios", a NITIE pass out.

Its an altogether different life here in NITIE, with intellect around you everywhere.
Thats all for today, i'll keep you updated about what i learn in his class and probably other classes as well via this blog and you can do an online MBA for free. And not to mention, my overall NITIE experience.
i would love you for reading and appreciating this @Dr. Mandi :p
Much more to come!
