We are into the fourth term now and this would be our last term as Section F. We are all in the “Im going to miss you guys” mode. I have been thinking. Some of the most fun moments at ISB have been with Section F.
The first time I walked into class and froze right under the A.C. vent. Though thats fun only on retrospect.Raising my hand for CP until it began to hurt in first term. Raising my hand for CP in Strategy in second term, trying to appear confident and hoping I wouldnt be called. Getting dunked the first time and taking hundreds of pictures. Falling in love. With ISB, the profs and well, the classes.
Speaking of classes,some of the most hilarious moments have been in the classroom. Take for instance the time when a professor was trying to explain to us that it has been found that the death of the head of a company is correlated with share price. It is statistically proven that when the head of the company dies of unnatural reasons, the stock price rises. Somone wanted a clarification.
“Is is true each time the person dies or….?”
Well. THAT surely would need to be checked.
I remember saying “depends” whenever someone asked us something we did not know. That was the key takeaway from the Economics course. Does the stock price rise or fall? Depends. Should they try push strategy or pull strategy? Depends. That worked for a long long time. Until one professor actually asked, “On What?” and the student did not have the faintest clue.
I recollect doing arbit CP.
Professor: Why wont perfume and wine business work with this business model?
Me: If you keep smelling the perfume, you wont know whats happening after a while. Same with wine. After a few glasses, you wouldnt know what you were drinking.
Professor: (After a moment of consideration) : For very different reasons though.
Needless to say, Section F hasnt forgotten. Nor let me forget.
Then there was the Strategy in IT course where a lot of us techies feel we need to establish that we know a lot about the industry. So, the other day we were discussing trends and there was the mention of a particular website. The smart alecks in the class claimed having used the site. Well, that was most interesting. Especially considering that the claims came from the guys who pretended to know all about the site. Until the professor pointed out that it is a site specifically for women: discussing issues like how to handle oneself when one is three months into pregnancy. Ahem!
That and lots more…coming up. Keep watching this space.
