Class of 2006 Class of 2007 |
Term 8 started today. I have to take 3 subjects this term. Have got 3 and am waitlisted in 1. So would have to choose 3 out of those 4 after sampling the classes today and tomorrow. I had just one class to attend today - "Leadership Lessons from World Literature" by Prof. Rajeshwar Upadhyaya. As written by the professor in the introductory part of the course material, "To use some of the best-written books to cull out the meaning of leadership and our roles as professionals, is an overarching objective of this course". I had chosen this course because I had been influenced quite a bit by Prof. Upadhyaya when he took the Leadership Development Program for us earlier in the core terms. He is a really good speaker. There were moments in today's class when there was a pause for a few seconds between two lines that he spoke and I could actually hear the wall-clock ticking (I think it was the wall clock :-) ) as there was pin-drop silence then. People were listening intently to whatever he was saying. He is one professor to watch out for when you come to ISB. There is a very high chance that you will like him. I have three classes to sample tomorrow which means that its going to be a really long day. Just a little more than a month to go before my ISB stint comes to an end :-( posted by Ram at 2:01 PM 5 comments  
US President George W. Bush is expected to visit ISB when he comes to Hyderabad during his visit to India. More details are available at http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/feb/23bush5.htm posted by Ram at 3:01 AM 0 comments
Its been really long since I wrote Part 2 of this thread. One of my friends is planning to visit temples in South India and might most probably visit Ahobilam. He wanted me to complete this thread ..... so here goes ..... (Please click here to access Part 1 and here to access Part 2 of this thread) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After reaching Prahalada Padi, we visited the Yoga Narasimhar shrine.  Way from Prahalada Padi to the shrine From top to bottom: The priest, Rajani, Murali and RamkiThe priest (archakar) performed 'puja' (archanai) and explained us the significance of the place. From here, we started the most difficult part of our climb - the trek to the top to reach the "Ugra Sthambam" which is believed to be the place with the iron pillar from where Lord Narasimha emerged. The trek upwards was really tough. As I was not aware of the trekking part, I was wearing slippers which made it all the more difficult for me. After climbing for a long time, we finally managed to reach the top.  This is Ramki sitting on one of the rocks at the top | |||
