This is very unusual from my side....2 posts back to back :D ....but there is always a first
We're in the thick of the fifth term here at Indore. Promises to be a very busy term what with all the Finance courses that I've taken. Going by the books that are being given out this term is not going to be easy at all atleast for the finance guys on campus. Besides academics we also have Iris our B-School fest this term and preparations for that are going on in full throttle.
Second year is not as easy as it is sometimes made out to be but then it's not all that bad either :D.
On the non academic front we have also started a social interest group called Pragat-I here in IIM I. Basically what we do is teach the youth in and around the villages around our campus. We've started with teaching them the basics of english and hope to move on to other things later. We've finished with the first few classes and things going great on that front.
Hoping this initiative continues at IIM I. I've always loved teaching young kids and these classes take me back to my time at NASEOH where we taught Physically challenged kids. Although Sunday was just about one free day in the week for most of us we enjoyed going to NASEOH and spending a couple of hours teaching and interacting with the kids. Their enthusiasm was really something we could learn from.
Lot of people do question our reasons for doing this.....Maybe it won't change them much but I still believe that whatever time we spend with them and interact with them makes a difference for them and they really appreciate it.
Guess the following email from one of the students at NASEOH sums it up for me......initially he barely could speak English or use computers.....The email below sent by him was one of his very first
" Hi wayne sir,

Cheers

I am sure that pragati would be something that would be continued :)
More than anything, it is these small things u receive or hear from them that makes u think that it was worth the effort.
And two posts in one day! what happened? Are u all right? :)
You'll soon be putting up a mail from one of the guys at Pragat-I.
Better late than never, so lemme just say it: Commendable thoughtfulness on your part for Pragat-I. Lead us into the light, Wayne! :D
