IIFM has now taken the much needed step towards attracting students and making it known to many aspiring students. The recent banner advertisement on http://coolavenues.com is a small step in this direction but it reflects the changed mindset.

In a way it’s a nice feeling to bump against lost souls, better if it happens to be your alma mater. Lost not in the literal sense of the word but in a way ;yup; certainly yes when it happens to be a scoop of out nostalgia. I can already speculate on the amount of excitement and the buzz that must be doing the rounds back home in lush green locales of the campus. In many ways it can be a start of many chapters to be penned; in many; none of any. Depends on where you guys want to steer it into.

Restrospecting I too gather and recollect the magazine Sampark that we used to have, sadly though it did not end up the way we would have ideally liked it to be. On the contrary…lessons to be learnt…parts to do-undo….food for thought..and realise the importance of the short stint at IIFM. Believe me…time passes in a jiffy in IIFM..this is a group sentiment which I am reflecting.

So guys make the most out of it..Its really a treat to see Synergy …up….alive and raring to go.
Nitin’s post do touched on some intricacies…carry the advice well..Nitin’s never short on it.But in technical lingo..he had been a very crafy member of the Literary committee…crafts …Nitin…did you hear that dude…hmmm…

At the outset..a very formal..or do I put a very all out n’ open welcome to all the fresh brains in the campus…we have hardly had any chance to interact with the new PFM 2008…Guys make the most out of IIFM…believe me this place is amazingly different…I dont have any reservations about being in IIFM..It’s not just the regular run-of-the-mill types MBA college..neither do you guys are in any ways…

The due share of credit also falls in for Mayank and Satyajit..for making it all happen…do keep the spirits high…and the going great…Somebody said, ‘In life go straight and turn right’.
Pats on the back also to Pranita and the two Rahuls. Thats the way

Synergy..if you can rip the word looks much like synergised energy.

That says and sums the spirit of this blog I guess.
Loads of wishes…

Synergy (or should i say Sampark in its new form) is commendable effort and the it has been possible mainly through the efforts of Mayank, Satyajit (both from PFM 2007) and always inspiring and helping Dr. C.S. Rathore. Synergy is now two issue old and there is a lot going on to make it more comprehensive and more useful. And the way the new team is working it seems we are surely bound to get some pleasant surprises.

Here is a look at the new Team Synergy, I had a chance to interact with all of them and this interaction made me believe that these people are surely on way to achieve something big.

Mayank Chaturvedi – PFM 2007

Graduate from Bhopal School of Soial Sciences. One of the two guys who were taking all the pain to make Synergy happen. Brilliant literary skills and supported by envious dedication to the cause, is making sure that Synergy is on time and offers substantial value to its readers.

Satyajit Das – PFM 2007

Accountancy Graduate from Sambalpur University, Orissa. He made sure that ‘Synergy’ happens, with his excellent computer skills and organizational capabilities. His computer and graphic design skills need no description from me as he has already shown with Kalpataru website and OT brochure. He is also the taking care of Alumni affairs as Alumni Coordinator.

Rahul Kumar – PFM 2008

Agriculture Science graduate from BHU Varanasi. Loves to solve puzzles and has keen interest in Gardening and Palmistry. One can expect some good contributions on topics like Agricultural Marketing and related subject.

Rahul Bhardwaj – PFM 2008

Electronic and Communication Engineer from Kumoun Engineering College. Loves to read and write poems. A very creative guy, Tean Synergy will be looking to extract maximum from him.

Pranita Bhagat – PFM 2008

She has done her Masters in Environmental Sciences. A voracious reader. She is also the Literary Committe Coordinator for her batch. Along with two Rahuls, she would be taking care of Campus news and articles from faculty and different sections of Synergy.

Best of Luck to you all.

I want you to make it a leisure read and not a mandatory one . Though i am focussing on some critical issues my intention is not to hurt anyone’s sentiments or criticize anybody,but to improve on our faults and bridge the lacunas which we have built amongst us.
Yesterday i was going through the number of posts which our batch is holding and i was shocked to see it was as high as half a century and exceeded even our class strength!! The shock was not because of number of posts but the sense of being “one amongst the iifm fraternity” was missing , and one reason what i see was this huge number of portfolios and personal quarrels .
I see following things missing , which if u give a patient read you would realize that each and every bit of it is true.

Ownership : The sense of ownership for responsibilities , may it be related to working within a club or on any other front . Going forward and asking for responsibilities is something that i have seldom seen. With the clubs saying that i will not take the responsibility of this event since i am taking the responsibility of other !! . Well i am really sorry to say that but in REC calicut from where i did my B.Tech , students used to fight to get the ownership of the event. And here it is exactly reverse. And still we want 30kper month jobs. Come on boss if you want something you have to show your worth. I see tremendous potential in terms of extra-curricular activites but personal differences is inhibiting us to show that.

Sense of unity : Please see MRM batch. We can learn 5000 things about unity . Look at our own self and we will see every person is criticizing other on any and every mistakes committed. Let them do mistakes . IT s human to err. And always remember “United we stand” . Give chance for other to correct themselves.

Commitment to cause : Our “raison-de-tre” is our uniqueness and infrastructure . Always remember we have come over here with a cause and ambitions. So make the best out of it. Utilize the available time in something important and constructive, may it be curricular or extra-curricular.

Ability to appreciate feedback : Another important reason what i see not happening in right direction is to take feed back in +eve sense . When somebody is giving feedback “Keep your mouth shut and listen ” no matter you discard it later on . You need to have a deep sense of gratitude to the person giving feedback , coz it is for your own good.
What i see usually happening is that a feedback converting into fight and persons into enemies ! There cannot be anything worse than this.

I know that i have given a lot of suggestions, but i am no exception to all of these . I am also trying to improve on these .

I am also looking forward to become one amongst 44 strong members standing as one.
44 minds with one goal – “to be the best” .
44 brains with one “heart” .

What i believe is that day is not too far……

Cheers to iifm…

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops-a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.
He glared at the driverand said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and sat down at the back.Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek?Well, he was. Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he wasn’t happy about it.The next day the same thing happened-Big John got on again, made a show ofrefusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, andso forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him.
Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses,karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what’s more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said,”Big John doesn’t pay!,” the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger,and screamed, “And why not?”
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.”

Dear Friends , can anybody tell me the moral of this story?

in a mba institute(not iifm) 4 students just before the exam night partied the whole night and sloshed out. as a result they were not able to reach the exam venue at time and got there after the exams. they cooked up a storythat yesterday night they visited a far off place and while returning they had a flat tyre and they didnt had a spare tyre . they soiled their cloth greased their hand and went to the examiner with this story. the examiner sympathised with them and agreed to take their exam the next day.when the 4 reached the place next day the examiner said that as it is a speacial case so they have to give the exams in seprate room.
when they got the paper the first question was nor mal of 5 marks.
the second question was of 95 marks and the question was” which tyre”.

The road that led us to our destiny when we came here …..recognise it and preserve it!!!!

.

hello all,
today was a great day for humanity in general and us in particular as the gods unleashed showers with all fury on our beautiful campus to save us from the “sticky” heat ….in celebration i decided to join our blog… also the iifm 2006 batch got two periods free ….a celebration at post mid term….even though theyll be compensated…but such are the momentary pleasures that guide our lives…
“cheers to iifm”
