Learning Along The Way: January 2012
http://learning-along.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Learning Along The Way. Wednesday, January 04, 2012. Winter holds special meaning for a Bengali, very unique to him. A true Bengali values winter dearly, exposed as he is to a long sweaty summer. I am one such person. On that far gone wintry day in Kolkata, munching a chocolate Monginis cake with a side of "Joynogorer Moyaa (special sweet balls from a place called Joy Nagar)" and "Puli Peethey" (sweet rice dumplings with syrup) I had come up with reasons for our love for Winter. The love for winter time ...

Learning Along The Way: Childhood Obesity
http://learning-along.blogspot.com/2011/10/childhood-obesity.html
Learning Along The Way. Tuesday, October 04, 2011. It is of much concern now in US. Every third program on NPR and on television seems to be about fat kids unable to frolic. A depth of reasons and repercussions are provided for this growing obesity pandemic. I wonder where all these reporters and columnists were, when I was growing up. My Bomba is damn strong. It looks chubby but in reality he is muscular. He is just too young to sprout the right triceps. And he works so hard! My sadness on being the "Ba...

Learning Along The Way: Drawing Skills
http://learning-along.blogspot.com/2011/09/drawing-skills.html
Learning Along The Way. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. When I was four years old, my sister suddenly sprouted drawing talents. She would pick up a magazine, and draw the girl on the front cover with ease and similitude that had my parents beaming. My mother would hold the art in her hands and remark,. The nose is bloated! Was all I said. One of us would come up with the idea. It would invariably be me. Let's paint on the living room wall," I would say excitedly. You drew that mountain scenary so well in cl...

Some Thoughts: April 2006
http://somethoughts-ec.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 29, 2006. That is the first thing you notice when you cross the gates of ISB, past the security. I have not seen any peacocks around, probably because I crossed past instead of lying in wait for the national bird to appear. And, I have a hunch that most people would do that too. Which gave me an idea. What if I put a sign saying "procupine crossing" and let it be? Would people stop to check or would the thought of a spiny procupine scare them away faster and add to the awe of ISB? I keep ...

Learning Along The Way. Friday, September 07, 2012. And a tad Amriki. And top, wore out their colors in a week. It didn't matter how much percentage cotton your clothes had, Kolkata was sure to take it to test. And I learnt something at a fairly young age - Sweaty is not Pretty. Winters were better. Cold and pleasant, you could think that a Bengali. Can be dressed in their best then. That would make you not just wrong, but also a non-Bengali. Because it defies a basic Bengali. I yelled. (No! Could easily...

Learning Along The Way. Thursday, November 17, 2011. The generation of connectivity has taken over. We are always on. Compootaar dekhtey esheychhen bujhi? Did you guys come to see the Coompootaar? A moment elapsed before we made out what he said. We nodded without comprehension. My mom looked at us and said knowledgeably to the enquirer,. Yes My daughters have always been strong in science and I thought why not treat them with a visit to the Computer thing? He laughed at his own obnoxious joke. He expect...

Some Thoughts: September 2006
http://somethoughts-ec.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 25, 2006. The BITSIAN community was a real help to all the BITSians who applied last year, there are 11 of us here at ISB. Preparing together often acts as a motivation to get the job done. The concept is even more prevalent in a B-school in the context of interviews. I am recounting this, as it is time for the cycle 1 deadline and all ISB aspirants gear up to face the challenge of the Admission process. Good luck to all! Posted by Enakshi at 7:19 AM. Saturday, September 16, 2006. Joe L...

Some Thoughts: August 2006
http://somethoughts-ec.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 24, 2006. I have already written about the several speaker series that takes place at ISB. As the person responsible for the Communications of EVC (they call it Director - Communications, EVC.in fact everyone who is anyone is called a Director), I report all those news for the ISB website. I am posting this item here. Hope you enjoy it! EVC hosts Mahesh Murthy. He discussed the 4 Ws and 1 H of Entrepreneurship. To go about it? In India, startup funding is hard to come by, but interesting...
