Well seems it is time I should have posted an update.......no probs.....will do it now......
Moreover visited my blog myself after one whole week....need to keep tab on it regularly.....
Loads of stuff in mind.....hmmmm....how to start....
Moreover visited my blog myself after one whole week....need to keep tab on it regularly.....
So, to kick of the proceedings on a "celebratory" note.... ;-) I will start off with Diwali celebrations here.....
The whole day was basically spent resting or roaming here and there within campus.....
Then as evening set in, in our hostel block we lighted the candles, and in the hostel entrance "Diyas" were used to decorate.
In the evening, we had "puja". After that, there was a "light and sound show" - Cracker bursting......
Later on at night we went off to Pal Heights (Restaurant near XIM-B campus) for dinner.....had a blasting time there.....it was some serious fun.......

That was all for Diwali Celebrations......
Since then life becoming hectic.....
Fifth term nearing end......which directly means, project submissions and presentations happening in full flow.....
Over and above this, my team is participating in L'oreal eStrat Challenge, which is basically an International level contest, with teams from around the world taking part. To keep things simple, here one has to (if the team clears the first stage, which we did) formulate a business strategy for his/her beauty product company so as to attain maximum stock price compared to other virtual companies. The round 1 has just finished, and now round 2 submission of this second stage (playing the actual game) is ongoing. Hoping for the best. This is one helluva amazin' business game........
On a more serious note, with just around 6 weeks left for placement week, resume is being finalized and decision regarding which companies to apply for being done.......
Recent Website search for me yielded an amazing site: ESATO
This site is basically a resource centre and discussion forum for Sony Ericsson mobile users....but others having some mobiles from other manufacturers (NOKIA, SAMSUNG etc.) can also refer to this........
Its amazing to see how fast the camera phones are spreading in India, even the latest Smart Phone offering from Sony Ericsson - P910i is clocking good sales......
Well with camera phone the advantage is that one can click snaps on the move - anytime anyplace.....
This simply shows that mobile phone manufacturers are never gonna have any decline in sales.......they are extremely good at creating needs.........Innovation is the key to their success.......when one feels that the growth for mobile industry will become constant now........just one innovation and the sales graph shows a sharp upward slope.......interesting industry both for engineers and MBAs with marketing to work in........inter company competition levels are real high......the leader Nokia faces a real good competition from both Sony Ericsson and Samsung........
The next interesting stuff, worth tracking is in India GSM vs. CDMA action. Both the clans have reached the war arena (or i should say war tables) yet again......this time the action is on frequency allocation.......both the lobbies are being backed by their respective international lobbies..........this fight is another decider where will future customer for 3G go - to Bharti or to Reliance.......
The thing i liked the most was - by Economic times - Bharti being declared as the Emerging company of the year.......led by my icon - Sunil Mittal......tracking this company can show some real interesting results.....the way it has grown from a Telephone equipment manufacturer to a full blown Telecom Operator.......amazin and it still is growing at a rapid pace (close to 25%of the wireless market in its hand - i hope stats are right).......Bharti has taken some real interesting strategic moves - "OUTSOURCING THE NETWORK" - and the big telecom operators are now watching Bharti - if this yields results.....then they might follow it..........
