Random Thoughts

I am bad at reading, period! A trait I always wished I had. I cant focus for long time on text that too which reads like a story a fiction. There is no excuse for me not to pick up the skill of reading numerous pages at a go. Flipping through papers is a routine now, at a Business school you cant just do without that. That's why they call it Pre-Read.

The Read in the Pre-Read stares right into my face. On an average we may be reading over 20 pages a day containing, ahem, stories, sophistically called case studies. A typical case starts with a question and ends with one. This isn't ending here though, you enter the class with an idea of cracking the code of how to run biggest business in the World, successfully. The confidence that exudes out of a person when he supposedly has the code in place makes several faces lit up at the start of a typical case class. The student is probably mocking at those Kodak and BARCO chairmen who made wrong moves. While he simply did some numbers over a sheet and is now equipped with know how of what to do.

The tumultuous way a case then gets dealt in the class, with all numbers going haywire and ideas being crushed every few minutes, leaves me with a pertinent thought...

you think of me as none,
though doing numbers I had fun,
hoping today I would be the one,
knowing more than those on whom you had written this one,
still i am struggling,
assuming someday I would be the one, whom you would discuss with someone!
