Best ways to annoy ur classmates - Life at TISS -4

Disclaimer : Dil pe mat lo :P


these are some sure shot ways to annoy ur classmates ( Certified from actual observations ) and these are just few of them ;)


(1) Asking doubts so sincierly when prof is about to give a break or finish with the class ( u would literally be fried with all the angry glares from ur poor classmates)


(2) Showing ur nose in a round aroooooooooooound manner  
EX: To discuss about economic conditions in Afganistan in Compensation class to bring home the point of salaries in India :P


(3) Missing out most classes and talking full faff (read "Strategy" ) in 1 or 2 classes attended


(4) Taking 20 mins in a group presentation of 20 mins just to say the intro part


some golden words in the recent presentations :
" what is the use of post mortem when the person had already died " ( Jinda aadmi ko post mortem karta hei kya ) 


Online advertisement and online sales as the most important strategy (Appears so good , but only issue is that we are referring to a case where the scenario is 1989 :P )


PS : will keep updating this post as and when such golden words roll out

Life at TISS -3

Well, every time we hear that having a small batch size is huge advantage as it helps to know classmates better (really :P ) , easy during the time of placements and etc etc..( really cannot think anything else ;) 

But the “Grass is not always greener on the side “ . So from my experience at TISS , I had come across quite disadvantages of having a smaller batch size . Going by my new decision of not stretching the blog posts , I would write them in crisp pointers J

(1   (1)    Most recent disadvantage I found is that “ Its too difficult to collect sample size for ur research” . There are hardly 60 people and even if u threaten to kill them , only half of them fill ur forms .

(2   (2)  Group assignment presentations comes so quickly , there are hardly 10 groups of 6 members each and in 2 months u are up there for presentation ( hoping that u get the last group to be presented in the lottery :P )

((    (3)  Faculty tends to give too many individual assignments and there is no option to free ride :P

(4   (4)  Even after regular attempts of being as invisible as possible in the class , the faculty easily identifies on the day u bunk the classes L

(     (5) U don’t have enough strength to win elections in the college and had to depend on coalitions to get second rung posts , even after leaving president post as a distant dream 

(6   (6) If u start with the plan of forming a team for cricket , u end up forming it for a singles badminton :P

(7  (7)   Too less choice to try for  ;)

(8  (8)  The real fun is when the placement PPTs begin as u would be made to sit  compulsorily through all the companies (numbering in 40s to 50s ) so as to project good image of the batch

(9  (9)Other fun is when conducting 2 events at the same time . Had to literally fight to get some audience for the events

So my friends , life is not very easy in having a smaller batch . Hence proved :P

Life at TISS -2

It took a long time to come out with part 2 of "Life at TISS" . This delay is not for that i am too busy but there is hardly any life left after being inundated with submissions and deadlines :P

Its almost the end of second sem which i realise only from the fact that most of our sessions are getting over but still leaving us with submissions and presentations.

As such we are better prepared to face this sem (having learnt good share of jargons :P ) , but couldn't guess what's gonna hit us ..now we fully understand why our seniors call second semester "THE HELL" , but the fact that 3rd sem is gonna be no different is not such a pleasing news either

But the fact remains that this semester is the best part of my academic life . Never i even remotely remember being literally studying every single day through out the semester . Never i had prepared this diligently for class readings . Overall its a enlighting learning experience

Acads apart , this semester we had "Thanks Giving Party " to seniors for all the efforts during our summer placements . Two more parties are pending for this sem , one being thanks giving by seniors and other the Farewell party.

Other interesting events in this sem is one of a kind of experience spending one week in "M WARD " - the most back ward area in Mumbai . This is what sets TISS apart from other colleges.

Other events include Campaigning for elections , for 2 of my room mates and observing the drama with all the  masala and equations of regular elections which even keep seasoned politicians to shame :P . the election is postponed to june , though for some irrelevant reason

This sem we had 8 subjects including the famed Mulla and his train loads of assignments , But others are not far behind and infact this sem , it seemed that some managed to overcome him in terms of the assignments .
The best part is with "Employee resourcing " subject where with in 15 mins u need to analyse a case as a group and present it and the worst part is , it is evaluative :P
