Feedback : IT-BHU Alumni Meet
Monday, October 29th, 2007Animesh sent me the pictures. Please find them here.
Good things about the program:
- It is promoting the alumni
- Health awareness talk by Dr. Vamsi
- Promoting the companies and literary works by the alumni
Things that could be improved
- Not really improving the networking and synergy
- Most of the people who met on 27th might only meet again sometime next year for the 6th Alumni meet. And that too we hope to.
- It has loose ends, things can be more closely coupled and coordinated
- Fun part has been missing. It was too formal. People could have shared their experiences about their college days, ragging and fun. This can spice up the event.
- Trivia about the college
- The program list and agenda can be worked using a web-based discussion forum well before the start of the event. Say two weeks before the event, alumni can be contacted and asked for ideas.
Flight Into Egypt
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007‘Flight Into Egypt ‘ is an event in the bible where the Holy Family goes to Egypt to save the life of infant Jesus.
Art and religion have always completented each other. Paintings of ‘Gods’ and ‘events related to Gods’ have always been the intriguing subjects of painters.
Flight Into Egypt is one such event. This is the episode where Joseph, Mother Mary and Baby Jesus flee to Egypt on a donkey. Various painters tried to portray this event. Here I am listing three of them.
I liked the one by Adam Elsheimer. Rembrandt is my favourite painter though. Here are the paintings

I have been reading …
Monday, October 22nd, 2007It took me a long time to start blogging again. I was reading a lot in my freetime. Let me tell you what I have been reading.
It Happened In India: The Story of Pantaloons, Big Bazaar, Central and the Great Indian Consumer
It is a good book by Kishore Biyani. It is probably the first book you will see when you walk into the “Depot”, the book selling section of “Brand Factory”, “Hyderabad Central” or “Big Bazaar”.
Marketing Genius By Peter Fisk
This book contains good case studies. In authors words, the purpose of this book is to inspire entrepreneurs, marketers and others involved in serving the customers and shareholders.
Execuition By Ram Charan
The only reason I started reading this book, is becuase of Ram Charan. I happened to see a video on him in Youtube. He is just amazing. Visit www.ram-charan.com to know more about him. He is on a 30 year long business trip, with literally no home and family. His goal is to help get entrepreneurs where they aim to get.
7 Habits Of Highly Effective People By Stephen Covey
It is a very popular book. I think most people have already read it
Awaken The Giant Within By Anthony Robbins
This again is a popular book.
Coming to other books, I have been reading “Alchemist” and “Witch Of Portobello ” by Paulo Coelho. I just loved Alchemist.
I hope to blog often from now on. Will try.
