reading-my new hobby!!

it has been some time since i wrote my last blog. actually nothing new has happened these days that i can share wid u.


it has been a month now since my college has reopened but nothing much has changed.it has become a norm to have only 1 class in a day,no matter how many are schedulded. however, i have been a bit unlucky this time.this rule has been broken on the days i decided to rest at home. as a result i have uptil now attended classes of only two subjects out of six, not even seen the face of the prof of three subjects!! almost whole days goes off in college, without any constructive work, for that single class in morning and a lab attendance in the afternoon.


the placements have started at the campus with indian companies like tcs, infy recruiting the bulk of the students. these comp help in taking the placement percentage close to 100.what would have happenned to placements if these companies werent there!!! IT was to have its first tryst with placements so we had to have a closer look at the placements as next year the turn wud be ours.


of lately, i have started spending some time for my MBA studies. there is enormous pressure on me to perform given that my eldest bro has already made it to the top.i have started by improving my vocab by reading newspapers , non fiction buks.reading has never been my hobby ever since childhood days. during my school days, i would issue any buk from the library just bcoz my friends did the same. i dont remember if i had ever read even a single page from all those novels i had issued.but now i feel that it was a blunder i did. reading is such a pleasure, i have discovered in these two months.before these two months , i had read only two novels and that also quite long ago.lately i have been reading autobiographies of highly successful persons.the list includes akio morito-founder of sony, lee iacocca-the man behind ford and chrysler, jack welch-the man behind ge,... the list goes on.currently i am reading the buk from jack welch-straight from the gut.i have read the buks from the other two top guys i have named.



these guys share their experiences while being at the top post in their respective companies. but i thing disturbed me that these guys never made a wrong decision- at least what they have written in their buks. even their guesses wud be more than 100% accurate. is this possible or were they just too lucky or they did not write abt them in their buks???
