Life at TISS Part1

Starting this post , I would be giving regular updates on "Life at TISS"

Second semester started for us on November 8th and we had done so much in terms of classes and activities in the past 2 weeks  which even wonders me
Starting the sem with  day long Assessment Centres which would help us in knowing our strengths and areas in HR we can excel, 3 day leadership program which included participants from all the courses , too many assignments , midnight meetings for committees of  Srijan (Mini version of Manthan) and Resonance (TISS platinum jubilee celebrations ,life is never this busy and exciting

Another Important activity happening right now is the M-ward project .TISS as is always known for social sensitivity had taken up a humongous task of reforming the M-ward (one of the biggest slum in Mumbai) and every one in the campus right from faculty,students to the director is participating in the week long process starting this saturday.
The fact that the professors attending National & International conferences and the Phd students located all across India were called back to the campus shows the seriousness taken in this initiative

This would be my first chance to look at the other side of our nation for the first time and would have never got this chance had i studied at any other B school campus

If not for self boasting one compliment we HR folks at TISS get from the Industry  is that Tissians are very much grounded and humble  :D

I use to wonder when many of the TISS pass out use to  mention that 2 years experience here is a life changing experience and now i am experiencing it first hand :)
